Welcome to- The Fountain Pen Community!

I have a spare 20 pen case that I'll donate when I send the package. The only down side is your going to see all those empty slots and feel compelled to fill them up.

The enabler strikes again......bwahahahahahaaha.

lol. fuuuuuuu = funny

Yup it's a full zipper case. opens like a book, roughly 7" x 9" per side. my bad. it's not a 20 pen case it's a 24 slot job. 12 slots per side with a sewn in leather sheet/divider to keep the pens from rubbing when it's closed.

"You are the man (and the enabler)."
sigh..yeah, I know. I have a fan club dedicated to my awesome nature :grin:

"No idea if you saw my thread over at FPN but I mentioned I was considering a bigger case so I could use pens for one side and keep my journal in the other."

I havent been to FPN in a LOOONG time. I divide my fp message board time between here, pentrace & 1 or 2 other places.

"7" by 9" works out at 18cm by 23cm roughly. My CIAK journal measures about 15x22x2. Better yet I could fit my daily journals in easy!"

"And Dennis you still haven't mentioned how YOU carry your pens"

I'll bet you can fit it in the case. I use an 8 x 10ish molskein day planner that fits in my 48 pen case & is my main daily travel piece. I usually have 20 plus pens with me at any given time.

 

 

I carry my pen or pens in my pocket.

I use this from JetPens when I'm hauling around my laptop bag: http://www.jetpens.com/product_info.php/cPath/159_811_815/products_id/4417 It has enough room for a few FPs, a MP or two, dry erase markers, a package of Waterman carts, a highlighter, a few bucks in change, flash drives, and cetera.  It's a friggen mobile office.

If I have a need to carry more pens, I use a nylon zippered case I bought at Michael's with some sketching pencils in it for about $7.00:

Look in your flea markets or on EBay for two or three cigar-cigar cases. I have one, that needs sewing that I got for next to nothing. It will carry three pens...and I can't see any one needing more.


Whoops, I'm from the day before yesterday, I have pockets on 90% of my shirts. If you are so dumb as not to have shirt pockets, buy a purse of some sort or another. You could also have buttonhole pen pocket sewed into your shirts.

Shirt pockets do so well in carrying pens. Some even have button down flaps, so your pens can't play in traffic.

I'm always confused by cigar sizing for buying for a pen. How are the diametres of the holes compared to your pens?

Also I'm sure I read that direct contact with leather is bad for certain pen materials?

 

I'm down to carrying a single leather 4 pen case right now.

I push cigar cases...some can be had cheap in flea markets or the bay....and they come in sizes big enough for 1,2,3,4 pens. They were sturdy enough so fragile cigars were not crushed or broken.
Come in various shades too.
I have a three cigar case, all I put on it was leather balm and polished it to a sheen, in I wanted the age marks to be under the sheen, so it didn't look brand new.
I had mine sewn so the Cross can't get out of it's cage and nibble on other pens.

If you want something a bit nicer there are two guys making cigar cases out of Alligator an Crocodile or Ostrich if you want.

I'd forgotten I'd posted to this a long time ago.
Mine are for small cigars, and I got small fingers, Mine fit a Twonesend and a Pelikan 605 on each end and becasue it was sewn, a P-75 in the middle.

I can stick my small finger down  up to the joint on the out side holes...to the tip on the inside hole.
If you need bigger cigar cases, one should drop in on a cigar store to see what size cigar your biggest pen is.
That might help.
A cigar case with four or five ight fit your shirt pocket tighter.

If you find some, before you slap the shoe polish on, think if a leather balm would not make it also look antique.
