This journal is perfect for the office. The separate notebooks allow a space for a bullet journal, meeting notes, and step by step notes on new processes... Impress the boss by having those business cards, instructions, or anything else when not near the computer.
— Graham
The look, materials, design, and price are exceptional! I didn’t know if it would work for me, but I now love the ability to slip in several notebooks for various purposes that for me include: my personal daily Bible studies and prayer lists, a client log and notes, a project notebook, and the planner book.
— Joe Z.
I travel weekly for work, being on the road and making sure I don’t forget my various notebooks and journals has historically been challenging for me. Having the Lochby Field Journal has completely revolutionized my organization skills and productivity.
— Keith M.
If you value writing down in a notebook the things you're reading about, the projects you're working on, or ideas of any kind, this sort of tool is perfect. I have mine loaded with 3 notebooks each with their own purpose, but I have found myself flipping through them and allowing them to interact a surprising amount.
— Tanner
I've found this product very useful for taking notes for classes, meetings, and projects since it's built like a modular multi-subject notebook... This one suits diverse note taking and writing needs perfectly.

- CcoldascolorVerified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 month agoI love this journal!
I have spent the last 6 months trying to find an EDC notebook that fits my chaotic lifestyle. This journals looks and feels premium in the best ways, without making me feel like I need to be precious with it. It feels comfortable to write in in any situation, and I think it will be my daily driver for years to come.
I cannot recommend enough
LOCHBY1 month agoWe’re so glad the Field Journal fits right into your everyday routine and keeps up with your pace! It’s great to know it’s become your go-to. Thanks so much for sharing this!
- SSScott S.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars4 months agoDelivered as promised
I am a repeat customer and I’d say this journal has only gotten better. Rugged, tough and lots of room.
I decided to replace one that I lost and wanted it in time for my vacation. I gambled and paid the additional bucks for 2 day delivery. It would be tight. One delay and I wouldn’t have it. I got a confirmation email that my order was process on a SUNDAY! That single day allowed me to receive it a day ahead of my vacation. Beyond pleased ! Kicking around getting the pocket version.
LOCHBY4 months agoWe love a good delivery win especially before a trip! So happy the Field Journal made it to you in time, and even happier to hear it's been a solid upgrade. If you end up grabbing the Pocket Journal too, we’d love to hear how you use both!
- SRSamuel R.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars8 months agoA creative godsend
Finally after acouple years of searching I've found the journal case for me. Being able to keep all my needed journals, Sketchbooks an planners all in one place is a big help. Actually having space for post it notes or a book light is great. An oh man the closing system, I love it. I use to have trouble with the YKK zipper on my old journal case but now no longer have to worry cause I can easily open the lochby field journal up with a simple latch.
My only qualm is I worry that it'll break on me in some way or from but I think that's due to a lot of product these days being in bad design an cheap quality. Which the lochby doesn't seem to have that so, fingers crossed.
I'm loving this journal.
LOCHBY8 months agoAppreciate this! Keeping everything organized in one place makes such a difference and we’re happy the Field Journal is checking all the boxes for you. No worries as well: it’s built tough. Thanks for your support, it really means a lot to us!
- JSJoe S.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars10 months agoA binder for adults
This field journal takes me back to the days in middle school when I had one of those Five-Star zippered binders. All of my supplies ready to be used--all in one place. This journal checks all of the boxes for me. The cord system is sturdy and it doesn't feel like they will ever snap or come untied. The honeycomb color with the brown waxed-canvas is a killer combination. I appreciate the two pockets to store student work or readings I print out to help with my lesson planning. If you are a male teacher and are frustrated with the market being flooded with flowers, stars, and filigree, look no further than the Lochby Field Journal.
LOCHBY10 months agoGlad to hear the Field Journal brings back those nostalgic binder days! It’s great that the cord system and pockets are working well for your lesson planning. Appreciate the shoutout on the honeycomb color too—it’s a favorite around here. Hope it continues to serve you well in the classroom!
- EREnrique R.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars10 months agoABSOLUTELY AMAZING!
This is worth it and an amazing product. Yes there might be other “similar” to it and what nog. But this is a LOCHBY. Outstanding materials, looks amazing, feels great, and it will age superbly like the other products they have as well. I have the A5 field notes cover and now this pocket size. I’m using the A5 mainly for sketching and drawing. And the pocket one as a mix of pocket sketchbook and basically my journal. Love these two! Totally recommend.
LOCHBY10 months agoThank you for your enthusiastic feedback! We're so glad you're enjoying both the Mini Field Journal and the Field Journal. It's fantastic to hear how you're using each. We also appreciate the recommendation, it means a lot to us. Happy creating!
