I didn’t know I needed this!

"The Craft and Lore Northwestward Field Notes Cover is incredibly well made with beautiful, high quality leather and solid construction that feels built to last. I love the versatility, I use mine not only for Field Notes but also as my everyday wallet for cards and cash. A functional, great looking piece of EDC gear that will only get better with age."

An elegant, practical, durable item of great quality.

"I have had this Field Notes or pocket leather cover for a few months, and my attachment to it keeps growing. Some products have personalities and this well-made leather cover is one charming product that can accommodate two or three Field Notes notebooks, and some credit cards, DL and a pocket for receipts or cash. It could replace a wallet. The thick durable saddle stitching is impeccable, and the top grain leather is smooth, high in quality and develops a beautiful patina as you use it. I know I will be getting two more covers for more notebooks. It is also a great and practical gift choice for men or women. The artisans of Craft & Lore deserve their excellent reputation and the high regards for their great customer service and durable creations, which have a cohesive and consistent look and feel."
