These are crazy times. Recently, I have found myself writing more. My leather-bound notebook has become my right-hand man. We wanted to provide the same opportunity for our backers!
We, at Next Chapter Leather, have created two handcrafted, artisan, and timeless Field Notes notebook covers. Each notebook cover is handcrafted from premium, full-grain leather.
We are offering our Premium Field Notes Notebook Covers in two amazing types of leather.
First, our premium American Bison leather. The durability of bison leather is legendary. It is one of the strongest leathers on the market. It is also naturally deep, rich, and gorgeous. Best part…it gets better with use! The natural oils from your hands unlock the true beauty of this leather. You will love it on day one…it will be indispensable in one year!
Second, is our Cowhide or Bovine Leather. This leather is the gold-standard in the industry. It is smooth and supple, but rugged and durable. This leather is slightly lighter in color and develops a legendary patina over time.
Each notebook cover is equipped with two elastic cords that hold the notebook snugly in place. When one notebook is full, it can be placed on the shelf, and replaced by a new notebook.
Today, nearly 400,000 bison roam the pastures and range lands of North America. Most bison are raised by private farmers and are utilized for meat production. To honor these majestic animals, no part of the animal is wasted. Our bison and bovine leather is harvested using responsible and environmentally friendly techniques and sources.
Stretch Goal #1: $2500: Every Leather Notebook cover will come loaded with a Field Notes Notebook.
Stretch Goal #2: $3500 Every Leather Notebook cover will come loaded with a Limited Edition National Parks Field Notes Notebook (as available).
“Hi Greg, Just got my journals, they look gorgeous! Thank you!”
“I received journals today. They look (and smell) incredible!”
“Just got my journals in Washington. After being excited for weeks about their arrival I opened them immediately when they arrived and was thoroughly impressed by the quality and workmanship that went into their creation. I immediately filled my pocket sized notebook and stuck it in my jacket to use when I’m out and about.”
“Arrived today, and I love it, and my wife is soooo jealous. Really a nice addition to my daily carry.”
“Thank you for sending the journals well ahead of time. Love the leather smell.”
“Hey Greg! Got my journal today. I love it. Just classy and simple. Just great! I do have a favor to ask. Can I get another one? My wife wants one. I know the campaign is over but is there another way for me to order?”
“Received my pocket size leather cover yesterday. I can’t believe you were able to ship so many out in such a short time. I absolutely love it! It is better than expected. The quality is great. I hope you will soon accept orders for additional units. I knew I should have backed the A5 size also.”
“Mine arrived today in Snowy Yellowstone National Park. It is WONDERFUL…THANK YOU for the amazing work you put into these I love it!!!”
“My notebook cover just arrived. It looks great! I’ve backed many kickstarter projects, but yours is the first that has delivered a quality product over a month ahead of schedule.”

“My A5 notebook cover arrived last Saturday here in Eastern Iowa. It is beautiful, and elegant in its simple usefulness.”
“I just got my pocket journal today. It’s wonderful. Thank you so much for taking a chance in doing a Kickstarter. I’m glad I was able to help back your vision. I look forward to another project from you.”
“Hi Greg, Just wanted to say that your leather covers are amazing. Is there a way I can get more?”
“You’re doing great work for your first Kickstarter and I’m really impressed.”
“Hi Greg. I love the covers. May I buy another from you, either via paypal or Venmo? Last time I bought the Full House. I would like to buy 2 more so I can give them as gifts.”
“Just got it! It looks fantastic!”
“Hope to buy more in the future!”
