Fountainpen Revolution Two Pen Notebook Pouch

Recommended Posts

Thought I would try my hand at reviewing an item recently purchased.

 

The Fountainpen Revolution's leather Pen Roll has already been reviewed, https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/index.php/topic/281101-the-fountain-pen-revolution-leather-roll-up-pen-pouch/

and it was much appreciated, since I can not recall what compelled me to purchase another leather pen roll.

 

Along with a new leather pen roll, also purchased a red two pen notebook pouch. Must admit, it was the fact it is offered in red, which initially interested me in making an extra purchase. Since both were shipped from India, it took about three weeks for them to arrive. However, when I least expected them, on a Saturday, they were a welcomed surprise. The two pen notebook pouch will fit up to an A5 notebook or journal, dimensions 8 x 5.75 (21.0 x 14.8 cm). The elastic is pretty tight and strong, so it will also fit onto something slightly shorter also. It is made of jute and cotton. It goes on similar to a headband or rubber band style. Doubt I would recommend using it for any journal or notebook which is softcover, as it needs something firm to form itself around.

 

It holds two pens with ease. Currently, it is holding my two newest beauties, but I will probably be rotating two other pens at some point. The pen pouches are large enough for holding big pens. I have tried my Pelikan M800, TWSBI 580, Lamy Safari. Currently, it is carrying a Noodler's Ahab Flex and an Omas Ogiva Alba. Hopefully, this will give some sense of size pen which pouches fit. I have also taken to hanging an extra Noodler's Ahab Flex on the outside of one of the pouches.

 

Yet, using this two pen notebook pouch does pose some awkwardness. I am using it on a binder given to me recently; it is holding a left handed notebook I purchased from Anderson Pens. It fits almost perfectly. Yet, the notebook's binder does not lay completely flat when opened due to the pouches touching a flat surface. Therefore, the pouches inhibits it from being totally comfortable while writing. Yet, having written in near darkness recently, while in a movie theatre, it is not impossible to use by those who do not necessarily need to write on a completely flat surface. Having both my pens attached to my notebook is worth a bit of discomfort to me.

The two pen notebook pouch comes in several colors, including black, blue, red, and natural and cost at time of this reviewi $9.00, excluding shipping.

It seems like you would have to take the pouch on and off constantly if you wanted to write on a flat surface, do you think it would 'loosen' the grip the pouch would have on the binder eventually?

Thanks for asking. The elastic seems to be nicely woven and does not take up the entire length of the pouches. It reminds me of a well woven headband if that image makes sense. It has texture also. It seems to be of a rather nice quality and seems as if it would not lose its shape much, if any if one wanted to remove and replace it to be able to write on a flat surface. It is fitting snugly around the cover I now have it attached. For me more than anything it simply seems like another burden to each time remove, then replace it to enjoy a flat surface when writing. As for me, I write nearly constantly, so it is probably better for me to simply continue to get used to doing so without convenience of utilizing it on a flat surface. I tend to go through, and use more than one journal at any given time, so it is something I want others to consider more then it being a deal breaker for me personally.

I have a couple of these pen pouches too, and find them very convenient. A correction, though: I believe they're designed to fit onto an A5 notebook (21cm tall) rather than A4 (29.7cm tall). The elastic is pretty tight and strong, so they'll also fit onto something a little smaller (19-20cm?) without too much trouble...

Thanks, I'll make the correction immediately.

It looks like the higher the A letter taller and wider the dimensions.

The A4 would actually be larger in dimensions. 29.7 x 21.0 cm 11.7 x 8.3 in

The following dimensions are for an A6, which could also be a consideration: 14.8 x 10.5 cm 5.8 x 4.1 in.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
