Field Notes Pitch Black Ruled Memo Book (3)
Field Notes Pitch Black Dot Graphed Memo Book (3)
The Field Notes “Pitch Black” dot-graph Field Notes Memo Book was introduced in 2013, and it quickly became one of the most popular memo books, particularly amongst the bullet journaling community. The new edition now features this ruled version.
Our classic 3-1/2" × 5-1/2" Pitch Black memo books are still available in 3-Packs with the original Dot-Graph 60# Finch Opaque body paper, but there’s also a Ruled version now. Both versions are bound with glossy black staples and sturdy 118# covers featuring new, Field Notes-exclusive black/kraft duplex paper from French Paper Co. The family also features a new Pitch Black logo discreetly printed on the back. (We just might get that tattooed somewhere…)
Pitch Black’s 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.
