If you're me, you use boring old #10 business envelopes from Office Depot. *blush* I can't figure out where to get nice stationery locally (as opposed to having to order it online).

I have been using airmail envelopes such as basildon bond as they suit the idea of the paper and look nice or the chic G.Lalo envelopes but welcome any more fitting suggestions!

Wish list: Aurora Optima

Current inked Pens: Pilot Decimo - Noodlers BBH, MB Mozart - MB Lavender

Pelikan M150 - Noodlers Kung te Cheng

I like to make my own envelopes check craft store or internet shops for a We R Memory Keepers envelope punch. You might want a paper trimmer too. They have some that are about $20 I have a fiskars one I think. You'll be an envelope making machine!

Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate the information. I hate to admit it, but my first letter did go out in an old #10 security envelope. Thanks for the heads up on the envelope punch.

I was introduced to TR paper by member Penhand a cople years ago. Once I started using this I was hooked and quicky had the same question and asked hs advice. He turned me on to a great product/supplier and I boght a bunch of grat envelopes in two sizes.

 

Wish I could remember the details, but email him, he might be able to help.

Life Brand (Japanese) air-mail envelopes.

If I want to write a really long letter (many pages) to my relatives in Europe I like to use the thin Tomoe River paper that I sourced at Wonderpens in Toronto. The TR A4 sheets fit perfectly into the Life size #4 envelopes.

I use Neenah Classic Crest Natural White envelopes -- available in 100's from envelopemall.com

I like both the No 10 with flap and the A6

 

The envelopes are not an exact match, but are off-white, well made and a nice contrast. They identially match the Classic Crest stationary from Neenah (obviously) which I also use on occasion.

I get a light pink "parchment" envelope in #10 size from JAM. It's fountain pen friendly and everybody know pink envelopes are from me.

 

They do absorb ink a bit so you won't get your sheen and SUPER wet writing feathers a TINY bit.

For Tomoe River paper, I like to use the Wausau White Gold Metallic envelopes that Amberleadavis reviewed. The envelopes are heavier than the Tomoe River Paper, but the shimmer complements the paper.

Sadly those are being discontinued, according to the seller Blendz Paper. I placed an order for 450-500 of the white gold metallic envelopes to stock up before they're all gone. Can't beat the price of $23 shipped on such gorgeous envelopes.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
