Field Notes
Fall 2014 Colors Edition
“Unexposed”
Specs From Field Notes:
“Here’s what we can tell you: each “Unexposed” pack features three 5.5-inch x 3.5-inch 48-page memo books in an opaque black sleeve. The interior paper features our “reticle graph,” last seen in the “Night Sky” Edition from Summer 2013.”
Notes:
If you have yet to notice the trend of matte black, grey, and darker colored pens on the site, I dare you to look at some of the back posts. This edition of Field Notes is definitely not my cup of tea, but that’s not to say it’s not something fun and different. I was hoping for some more typical fall-themed colors and it appears that we got the polar opposite. The cool thing about the release is that they did not tell you what you were going to get. Instead of the usual “belly-band”, the books were sealed in a black paper envelope.
There are 6 different colors, randomly inserted into the packs. I lucked out and got one of each across the three packs that I ordered. The super bright, Lisa Frank-ish colors aren’t going to see any use by me but they are a cool addition to the collection. The reticle graph ruling is cool as well, I really enjoyed it in the Night Sky edition from 2013. This was also the first round of photos from my new iPhone 6 – I think they definitely got the job done. What did you think of the Fall 2014 Colors edition?

This is one of the few editions I haven’t bought. Loved the idea of the “mystery packs”, but the neon is not for me (I was hoping for something more subdued). And I’m actually not a fan of the reticle graph as I think it looks a little too busy on the page.
It’s a really cool idea though, I almost bought some just because of that.
As you know, I think they’re magical. 🙂 Great pics, by the way. Makes me want an iPhone 6… lol.
Because, unicorns.
The phone is great. Never thought I would go back to posting stuff on here that was taken with a phone haha.
What fountain pens/inks do you like to use when writing in the Field Notes books? I’ve been using my Lamy Safari with Lamy ink but get smearing 😦 Suggestions? PS. Love your IG feed!
