Sula Jane and Earl currently have their leather mini pen sleeves at a significantly reduced price.

I got this from ebay for my mini. It's nice and everything. But be careful with the mini and leather sleeve. The o-ring for stopping the cap when posting can slip off when pulling the pen out of the leather pouch. Now I have to figure out the o-ring size and where to get a replacement.

My local Ace Hardware has a set of plastic trays full of various sized of small o rings. I 'd suggest you take the pen in and find one that fits. The Ace people are very helpful with this and the prices are very reasonable. Choice 2 is Contact Twisbi, they are a very Customer Service oriented company. Other Hardware store probably have small rubber goomies (what we called them when we rebuilt VW Bug engines), I'd ask. Jim

When I lost my o-ring last night, I emailed Phillip Wang at TWSBI (USA) right the way. Being an impatient engineer, I took out my caliper to measured it myself. ID = 10mm, OD = 12mm, thickness = 1mm. I just ordered 100 of these suckers from the www.theoringstore.com for $11 total, including shipping. If anybody needs one, contact me. Just pay me for whatever the post office charges me.

 

by the way, the 2 o-rings (1 by the grip section, the other by the filler knob) are identical.

ps: i am a noob on this forum. if i don't respond to your pm, that's because i haven't figured out how to check it, yet. :P

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
