I need to buy a pen pouch that can hold 1 or 2 pens.
But I have a specific requirements.

At work I work in very tight places and bend a lot so I need a pen pouch that both will keep my pens secure and protect them.
I also need the pouch itself to be holding on to the pocket securly so that it will not drop while I bend or walk through tight places.

Any ideas or suggestions where to get such a pen pocket pouch ?

Amir,

I think you work in downtown Toronto, right? Essence du Papier or Sleuth & Statesman should have them. If not them, then Laywine's up in Yorkville should.

Essense has a downtown location? I thought they were only up at Yonge-Eg.

Anyways, I THINK I recall seeing a pretty reasonably priced double pen holder at Sleuths & Statesman. Either $10 or $15. I didn't do much of a close inspection 'cause it didn't meet my requirement of having a loop or something in the back to clip/loop/whatever onto my belt. Also, I don't quite understand what you mean by...

If you mean that you need it to have some method of attaching to your person, I haven't been able to find one like that but, as above, I would love to have one like that. So if that's what you mean, give a shout if you find one!

Thanks I will check this out.

Any online shops thats sell these kind of pouches ?

If you're looking for a holder that won't bend at all and provide strong protection, consider getting cigar holders. Some even have separators to keep the cigars from touching. They make great pen holders.

Do they have a clip that hold the pocket so it will not fall out of the shirt pocket while bending ?

Amir, have you thought about utility holsters? They are pretty well made, ballistic nylon, and have velcro closures. Here's an example by Grainger:

Yes, Essence has a shop underneath the TD Centre. Just to the west of the lottery counter (the one just by the top of the stairs to the Royal Bank tower).

I need it in my shirt pocket

I searched for exactly the same thing for about 6 months.. I never found anything that did exactly this... I understand exactly what you want but I have no idea where to find it. If you DO happen to find something like this in Toronto, please shoot me a PM to let me know.. I found some beautiful cigar type cases and bought a couple, but nothing that had a sturdy clip that would secure the pens in a shirt pocket (or for me an inside sport jacket or suit pocket). I can't understand why in the world these would be so hard to find... the need seems obvious! LoL..

I saw a nun with a "two-barreled" pen case on her rope belt. It looked homemade, but this is something I would really like. Any clues to a commercial version?

Since these are handmade by a FPN member, why not "commision" them to make one with a clip?

A nun with a double-barreled pump gun?

Hmm

What about getting the pen case you truly like and putting a tie tack through the bottom ridge that can be fastened through to the interior side of your shirt?
