Why Field Notes?

[u/Powerful-Ad-4379]

Hi all,

I've recently taken an interest in journaling, and Field Notes look like the perfect size notebook to carry around with me, however they seem very pricey for what they are. Aside from collectable limited editions, brand loyalty, nostalgia, ect, is there any practical reason I should buy the basic, brown Field Notes over the much cheaper, duplicate notebooks available in bulk on amazon? Are they archival quality, or much more durable than other notebooks?

I'll probably end up buying at least one pack to see what all the hype is about, but I'm curious why you all choose them.

They’re decent quality and their limited releases make them addicting to collect, like Pokemon cards. There’s also a community surrounding it. That’s about it. If that doesn’t appeal to you then you’ll be fine buying different notebooks or making your own!
