Field Notes’ Aaron Draplin, on finding an antique leather pouch stamped with a U.S. Postal Service insignia: “I marveled at the simplicity and beauty of the piece. Thick leather and beefy sewing, with an indestructible snap.” It fits three of the Field Notes Memo Books perfectly. They took that as a sign to partner with Tanner Goods of Portland, Oregon and get some made up.

Each pouch is hand-tooled from premium American leather. They have been using ’em for a couple years now, the leather gets darker, softer, and more supple with time and use. 

• Mixed three pack of Field Notes Notebooks included.
