Post-it notes just got a whole of a hell lot cooler.

Post-it Brand’s Signature Series has released a new line of limited edition dapper notes. Inspired by the “mad men” of the 1950’s and 1960’s, this is a must have for all you disorganized Don Drapers out there.

The Signature Series is a collection of premium Post-its, page markers, and list pads created by 16 artists ranging in classic to contemporary designs. The collection is to be unveiled this week at the National Stationary Show in New York City, and we can’t get enough of these well-suited pads.

Established artists, illustrators, and pattern makers have gotten into the Post-it game, but the designer behind this particular collection is Morgan Hoff-Golmen, a student at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design.

Hoff-Golmen’s idea behind the design was to create a product for the classic businessman who regularly uses office supplies.  Of course she was inspired by the 1960’s and “Mad Men, as well as illustrated icons that can be found in every day life; dress shoes, ties, as well as the Empire State Building and Chrysler Building.

What makes these notes so cool, aside from their retro-charm, is that everyone can tap into his (or her) creative side. Blank faces and a pair of glasses are practically provoking us to start doodling, and stop to-do-ing.

Steven Kurutz and American Giant endeavor to create a flannel 100% American made
Follow American Giant to bring flannel back to the USA

What makes the flannel shirt something that stays with us here in America? Is it the quintessential garment of the American worker? Does it make us feel as though we are driving horses across the plains in the old American West? How about working the day away, clearing logs from the Pacific Northwest to supply the entire country with the lumber needed to build houses, decks, and shop fronts? Or maybe we don't have to reach back as far to imagine the flannel renaissance of the 1990s bringing us the nostalgia of our childhood imitating Kurt Cobain on stage. Either way, the flannel is a staple of Americana, and American fashion brand American Giant has spent years attempting to bring that garment back home.

What started out as an article in the New York Times blossomed into a half-decade journey for author Steven Kurutz to chronicle AG's desire to bring flannel-making back to the shores of the United States and to save factory jobs in his new book, American Flannel. As a native of a small town in Pennsylvania, Kurutz has watched his town wither away as factory jobs were shipped overseas. For him, the book was more than a story of American determination; it was a personal connection to a quest to save his own hometown and others like it.
