Joining our Chicago Edition in our Hometown Series is a new 3-Pack celebrating our Northwest Headquarters in Portland, Oregon. The city sits astride the Willamette River near its confluence with the Columbia River and is the home of Field Notes co-founder Aaron Draplin. Portland also boasts a slew of awesome retail locations carrying our products.

The cover is French Paper Co. Kraft-Tone 100#C “Standard White Kraft” featuring Portland’s green, yellow and blue flag (ranked by vexillologists as America’s seventh-best municipal flag!). Inside, you’ll find PDX-centric Practical Applications, and our standard Domtar Lynx 60#T “Bright White” graph paper.

Here’s your memo book for navigating the bridges, food truck pods and pour-over coffee joints in the City of Roses.
