How Do You Carry Your Pens & Notepad Around?

[FP.MD]

Wear scrubs all day in the hospital, so a small Leuchtturm 1917 softcover and a TWSBI Eco is about all I carry. They fit nicely in the front pocket.

My chiro told me I need to get my wallet out of my back pocket so for me these days it is a small man-bag that holds my wallet, reading glasses, a small Rhodia notebook, and a pelikan 3 pen case with my Lamy 2000, and 2 other fountains pens as takes my fancy that week, but normally my red/black M600 and my M805.

Depends on how many pens I'm carrying, what I'm wearing, and whether I'm toting my backpack or my briefcase. When I carry only one pen, it's clipped to my shirt pocket or the inside breast pocket of my jacket/coat. More than one pen, I carry one in the aforementioned location and the other(s) in this pen wrap. A4 and A5 notebooks go in my backpack/briefcase. On my person I always carry a 3.5x5.5" something (currently a Fabriano dot notebook) in whichever pocket I think best under the circumstances, mostly depending on whether I'm sitting or walking/standing.

I have a three-pen case that a relative bought for me years ago. I think it came from a company like Levenger, but I don't recall. Anyway, it usually has two or three pens in it. I tuck it into one of the storage pockets in my bag so the pens remain upright. I tuck my leather-covered journal into my bag, and off I go.

FPR Leather Roll-up Pen Pouch, 1st generation. I usually only have 3 pens in it but there are more slots if needed.

Lamy Safari in my jeans pocket, Clairefontaine Life Unplugged notebook in my back left pocket, any other pens I want to keep with me in my briefcase pen pocket.

I got an el-cheapo leather (or so it claims to be) case off of Amazon for like $10 for now... However, I'm thinking about eventually upgrading to a Nock pen case of some sort.

[benji77]

May I ask Nock owners if the (Nock) Hightower case will fit a Moleskin (softcover or hardcover) / Leuchtturm 1917 in the note section please? These books are relatively thick, and I was wondering if it would stretch to fit them.

This Pilot pen case looks like it would hold a small pad of paper

I have that case and it will comfortably hold 1 or 2 Field Notes size notebooks (3.5 in x 5.5 in) depending on the size of your pens. I'm not sure it would accommodate such fat notebooks and still allow you to carry pens, plus it would pop open unless restrained. It does not come with a closure of any kind.

Thank you.

The Field Notes are nice and thin, which is a good fit in the Nock, but I personally prefer the 1917 as I plan to use record stories during my travel. The tricky part is the thickness of the 1917 & Moleskins. The option of course is for me to simply leave it 'tucked' into the case, and maybe conjure up some sort of clasp for safety.

I just got the Lucky 13 Penvelope from Franklin-Cristoph for my pens I carry back and forth to work. I also use a medium sized journal (from paperforfountainpens.com) and place that inside a leather journal cover that I have had for many years. I use this for all of my notes and work each day.

 

When I travel, I usually take a two pen leather holder. This fits nicely inside the leather journal cover with journal.

The notebook goes in the coat pocket usually, the blade in the front pant pocket.

I wear an old ringtop on a modern lanyard - one has to be vigilant - and a Pilot Petit in a pocket, just in case.

I carry a little Metaphys notebook and a small Forest Choice in my pockets - both very FP-friendly. Small and light is the philosophy.

3-pen leather case I bought on ebay. It's a pretty decent one. Either my Montblanc Large Leather Organizer (A5) or a Moleskine large notebook, or a Livescribe journal. Trying to streamline my notebook and not completely sold on either Moleskine or Livescribe. Looking for an alternative.

 

So, depending on what I carry it's either a Tumi Beale Mini Messenger or a briefcase.

I've been using Nock Co. new case, the Sinclair, lately which carries 3 pens, a pocket notebook (I like Nock's notebooks a lot) and a few ink cartridges or sample ink vials. It's a great little case. Very well constructed and very reasonable price.

Shirt pocket, two fountain pens, and two pencils since high school.

shirt pocket all the way

 

*two pens

*one pocket calendar (from Mr. Armstrong)

[inkfade]

If I only need one or two pens, I carry them in a side pocket inside my purse, tucked in with a little notebook. Anything more, I use my Nock Sinclair.
