How Do You Wear A Clipless Pen?

I don´t use the clips on my pens anyway, except the P51´s, a nice pen case is the way to go.

 

There are many designs to fit your needs, leather, fabric, penrolls....

I usually have a pencase with me these days. Some of my Nakaya's are clipless others are clipped, but I wear polos most days (ah the life of a west coast engineer :) ) and therefore have no shirt pocket. I won't put them into my pants pocket as they will get damaged.

I have a bag organizer with several pen slots. Clipless pens ride in there. They tend to be my nice ones anyway, so not used for general note taking, but more writing letters and such. So they are handily right next to the paper and envelopes. Note taking pens have clips and go in shirt pockets.

I believe that the purse is a tool invented by the patriarchy to oppress women (if it's not true, why don't men carry them?), so I try to keep my gear as simple as possible. That said, I also don't wear shirts with pockets. This is the practical reason for carrying a ringtop on a silk ribbon. They are awfully pretty things, and as close to fine jewelry as I get. They went totally out of fashion in the Thirties, perhaps because women's clothing became more complicated, but modern clothing has become so simplified that they once again make sense - or would if they weren't so totally obsolescent.

      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
