Field Notes notebooks come with ruled, graph, or plain pages in their signature "kraft" brown color,[5] but the brand has become known for their smaller runs of limited edition notebooks,[6] which are released quarterly and available individually or as part of their year long subscription service.[7][8] The limited edition releases have gained a devoted fan following, including a few active Facebook groups like "Field Nuts",[9] and a website by the same name,[10] as well Fiend Notes Group with a membership of over 25,000 and growing. Many of these Facebook groups, offering custom notebooks, and promoting trades between members.

Field Notes are sold online and, across 1400 retail locations in the United States. The brand has also partnered with various companies including Levi's, Starbucks, Nixon, Loot Crate and J.Crew to sell exclusive release products, as well as collaborating with MythBusters' Adam Savage and reporter John Dickerson to create special editions.[11][12] Field Notes promotes its products through films made by Coudal Partners in-house.[13][14][15][16]
