We introduced our Pitch Black dot-graph Field Notes Memo Book in 2013, and it quickly became one of our most popular memo books. After a few reprints, we made some upgrades, and were now offering a range of Pitch Black books with a variety of options.

Our 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. (We just might get that tattooed somewhere)

Looking for a bigger book? Pitch Black is also available in a larger Note Book size (4-3/4"" 7-1/2"") with either Dot-Graph or Ruled pages inside

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 Blacks hip professionalism. Or professional hipness, if you prefer. Either way, Pitch Black makes a fashionable home for your best ideas.
