$10-$14Steno Pad 6" × 9"
Field Notes' take on the classic steno pad — 80 pages of gregg-ruled graph paper in the standard 6" × 9" format, top-bound with a durable cover. Printed in Chicago with the same quality paper stock that defines the brand's entire lineup, it's a meaningful step up from commodity steno pads.
$16-$22Pitch Black Notebook 2-Pack – Dot-Graph
A larger-format notebook at 4.75" × 7.5" — designed to slip into a bag or coat pocket. The all-black aesthetic pairs with 90 GSM dot-graph paper that handles fountain pens and markers without bleed-through. Two notebooks per pack, 64 pages each, made in the U.S.A.
$12-$15Original Kraft Memo Book 3-Pack – Graph
The same durable Dur-O-Tone kraft cover and saddle-stitch binding as the classic Original Kraft, but with graph-ruled paper for technical sketches, measurements, and grid-based note-taking. Three-pack of 48-page, 3.5" × 5.5" pocket memo books printed in Chicago using U.S.-sourced paper.
