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."

Good Stuff

"Excellent fit and finish. Snaps securely keep all items in place."

— Howard W. (5/5)

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."
