Field Notes introduced the “Pitch Black†dot-graph Field Notes Memo Book in 2013, and it quickly became one of the most popular memo books. After a few reprints, they made some upgrades, and are now offering a range of Pitch Black books with a variety of options.
The classic 3-1/2" × 5-1/2" Pitch Black memo books are available in 3-Packs with 60# Finch Opaque body paper in Dot-Graph or Ruled styles. They're bound with glossy black staples and sturdy 118# covers featuring a Field Notes-exclusive black/kraft duplex paper from French Paper Co. (see film below). The family also features a Pitch Black logo discreetly printed on the back.
Pitch Black has always been considered Field Notes’ more “urbane†offering, a favorite everywhere from the white-collar downtown boardroom to the black-turtleneck uptown studio. The new kraft inside covers add a hint of earthy charm to Pitch Black’s hip professionalism. Or professional hipness, if you prefer. Either way, Pitch Black makes a fashionable home for your best ideas.
