Everyone knows how good Field Notes' product is, but their customer service is highly underrated. I've had a few problems regarding shipping and promo codes and every time I've gotten fast responses and generous fixes to my problems. Definitely order direct through them if you can.

Premium quality with fantastic customer service. I had to change the address on an order that I had made and they were prompt, professional, and personable. It doesn’t get any better than that.
