I can confirm the three pen Rick Shaw’s are amazing if you don’t need a whole stack of pens to go with you. I find three is usually plenty though. At least for me and my wife
I teach very active students with a fountain pen in my pocket. The only casualty was when I left one on my teaching table and a little person who was just learning to write his name used it and destroyed the nib completely. He was proud. I was proud and sad.
I have the Rickshaw three pen ultra plush pocket. Very nice, mine is the herringbone pattern, very subdued which fits me just fine. I would like a two pen sleeve, I made a form fitted leather single sleeve, no padding or plush. Fits a Jinhao X450 loosely or a Conklin All American snugly, unfortunately I forgot a means of retention in my pocket. If affords decent protection but zero retention.
Drew got me on Rickshaw koozies, and everytime you do something on the brand, I find myself needing more!
I hope you're loving them! - Drew
GALEN: they are amazing. The pen cases have the best zippers--really beefy. You liked the combo storage, but the straight up pen storage is also great. Plus it's a great company with first-class customer service. You pay a bit...you get a lot.
I got one too, personalized, LOVE it!
I’ve got two rickshaws n a case now. So I travel a lot w 6 + pens now instead of 3. Cases are a good upgrade for any pen collector as we grow PEACE
A soft 3-pen Rickshaw (from Gouletpens of course!) is perfect for me to throw my three inked pens into my backpack or messenger and head out to work or the coffee shop.
Perfect! Haha thanks, Craig! We appreciate the support! - Drew
What a great question!!!
I would love a plushly padded, highly polished, professional looking clamshell type wooden desktop pen box for two pens. One for black ink, and one for original document blue ink signatures.
I have scoured the internet and have yet to find one. Something worthy of 2 Pelikan M1000s...
A woodworking artist could sell quite a few of those actually Desktop case for two pens
Brian, you remind me of when I was really burned out and had minimal energy to emote and respond to others. Maybe I'm wrong, but please take a break and recharge, for yourself, your company, and others around you! Wishing you the best.
He's ok! I think Brian was responding to some important CEO stuff on the computer during this question. He knew I had a ton of notes ready to yap about! :) - Drew
Take a breath Drew hahaha... I think you spoke for 4minutes straight without a comma or period... were you a horn musician and know how to circular breath hahaha. This was so helpful gentleman, I have been looking for more pen storage. You all rock!
I often forget to breathe. It gives me hiccups. - Drew
i use a glasses case, is sturdy and has some kind of cushion inside so the pens are protected i can put 3 to 4 in them
Great idea, I am stealing it! Will check some fashion glass cases now… 💃
How timely! I am shopping for a case! Question: would that Rickshaw case hold 1 3-pen cozy and an A5 spiral notebook? Is the inside of the bag the same soft material? I.e. would the corners of a notebook damage the inside? Will the Goulet Pen Tuning and Cleaning Kit fit in the bag? ... Thanks guys!!
The inside of the bag (Rickshaw Coozy Case) is not the Royal Plush material, and will not fit an A5 notebook. A smaller notebook (Field Notes size) will fit nicely, however! We have measurements and dimensions on our website for you, as well! Thank you! - Drew
I made a single pen sleeve from scrap leather, Conklin All American is snug, Jinhao X450 rattles a little.
Yes, having ugly diy сrар is fantastic to pair your fountain pen with 🙄
Can elastic loops cause micro scratches on the pen body? I prefer individual slots to hold pens, but none of the 40+ pen cases have them. At the beginning of every show can you both do a quick pen check. So whatever pen(s) you have on you at the time. Great show - I think the sweaters have something to do with it.
I think it's possible that elastic could eventually cause wear, especially if something gets caught between the elastic and the pen. However it's certainly not common - I promise you we would be hearing about it if it were a thing! ;) - Drew
Yes, obviously…
@@ELENAOttawa If it was so obvious, then the word possible would not have been used in the reply from Goulet.
Lol I could almost see the gears working and the steam coming out of Brian's ears.
@Brian is that a fountain pen in your pocket or are u just happy to see me? 😆
Thanks Brian you look a litttle unwell , i hope you are ok, loved your shows from the past always entertaining all the best for the new year to you and your family.
yeah, I was coming off a crazy two days right there with some non-pencast related work stuff and hadn't been highly accessible...then I was "putting out a fire" offline while Drew was talking. That's the only downside to doing these recordings as the business owner, sometimes urgent issues can't wait until I'm done recording! It's all good, I was just concentrating on something outside of what Drew was saying. -Brian G
@@Gouletpens Yeah crazy is the right word for sure, and anyway the videos are unrehearsed you do a great job, so proud of your company and even amid all this madness in the world, you seem like a top company, blessings to you and your family form Yorkshire in the UK Gods own county
Wait, at 2:00 you said medic bag, can you elaborate on that?
That outtro...😂
I'm a little sad the goofy photos of Drew trying to hold the Girologio 48/96 pen cases didn't make it in the desk case section.
I'll send you a poster-sized print! - Drew
Galen 40 pen in deep green holds my pens in my book case, on my wall I have two picture frames with hold 6 pens each, which holds the inked pens and the pens I want to display on my video conferences. I have a single rickshaw for the pen that I am taking out daily to write with out of the office. I made the picture frames and they are really cool and my original plan was to display all of my pens. However, the pen fetish has really hit me, so need more space.
I want one of those 40 cases! The binding looks so good on a shelf! - Drew
Now y'all are trolling me a little bit!
I used to keep a pen in my pants pocket all the time with the clip on the outside to keep it in place. But I found the clips were bending. I ended up talking to Drew on y'all's website and he suggested the Rickshaw cases. So I went with the 3 pen case. Now I have 3 inked pens with me at all times. I also have a Galen Leather A5 notebook. But it is a bit too bulky for my day to day use, but it is great for meetings. I keep my empty pens in a Girologio case. And the 48 count Girologio is great as a display case for all of my homemade pens! The divider has Velcro so it can be removed.
Also, I haven't damaged a pen once I started using the Rickshaw 3 pen case.
Glad to hear it! - Drew
I’m assuming, you’re a dude, since you have real pockets (which us, girls, never have). Girls obviously have pockets in their hands, we call it a “purse”.
Use a pen case, don’t put your expensive pen in your pants. Your GF/Wife will throw those pants with your pen in the wash and you’ll have iroshizuku ink all over your clothes and tumbler. LESSON LEARNED!
Because you are a child and don’t do your own laundry… like, how old are ya?! 11 ….12?
No mention of the Lochby Quattro? For Shame!
Sorry! Not familiar with that case. We only included cases that we sell and could recommend based on our own experience. - Drew
@@Gouletpens that is fair enough drew 😊 I appreciate the response!
Do you use one of those fancy display boxes for your fanciest pens? Or do you keep your fancy ones out? Do you just tuck it away? Also, if the Pope was going to your house and you were going to offer up 5 fountain pens to use (like how people save their fine china for "when the Pope comes") what five pens would you have out on display?
My "fancy displays" are wooden pen stands I've made. The Pope ain't coming to my house and if he did, I doubt he'd care how my pens are displayed...I'd be more concerned about him not stepping on all the Lego pieces my kids leave strewn about the house! Ha -Brian G
@@Gouletpens Oh, I remember seeing your homemade pen stand! That looked so cool! Haha, stepping on Legos is the worst pain. Stepping on legos and papercuts.
My blood is boiling just watching this. You need some aromatherapy, Brian. Smell some KWZ.
Seriously, though, that was very well-researched, considering it's an area of fountain pen-dom that people don't really think about.
did they have a fight or something why is this so awkward
Not at all...I was addressing a work issue that grabbed my attention during the pencast, and I was just letting Drew take the reigns on the question. Any reaction I showed was completely unrelated to him! Any hard time we ever give each other is purely out of love :) -Brian G
@@Gouletpens oh ok hope you successfully handled the work thing, waiting for the next pencast
Grown dudes discuss toy pens. It’s SUPPOSED to be awkward!
Know any company that makes pen cases that I could wear on my belt?
Who atill wears belts?! You must be a dude, who can just carry a pen in your pocket. Well, unless your mommy still doing yoir laundry lol
Are you ok, Brian? You look like how I do when I'm dissociating, depressed, sleep deprived, or a combo
Sleep deprived absolutely :P The other two nah, I was just distracted while Drew was talking with other work stuff that was needing my attention in the moment. I appreciate your concern, but aside from being pretty busy and running a company during a two-years long global pandemic with two young kids, I would say I'm actually pretty stress free :) -Brian G
@@Gouletpens glad you're doing well, hope you can get some good restful sleep
Will you still be selling Noodler's Ink after the recent antisemetic episode?
If you have any questions about that, email our service team using info@gouletpens.com. Thanks! - Drew
Noodlers is antisemitic?! Omg, didn’t know and I’m a Jew. But most people don’t care about antisemitism these days, when Israel is murdering civilians at astronomical rates… How are you surprised?
First comment
Men are talking about keeping their pens in their pockets, but what about women?Manufactures are getting better about putting pockets in womens clothing, but I don't see myself doing that anytime soon.
Brian, you look slightly uncomfortable. Based on my expert ability to diagnose on the internet, I suggest eating fiber more regularly and cutting back on cheese.
I was addressing a non-pencast related business issue that had come up and was ignoring Drew there for a few minutes while he was talking! It's all fine, but when we recorded this I was on the tail end of two days of not being very accessible and had something that couldn't wait and it took me out of the moment. As for the diagnosing on the internet, I appreciate the gesture but don't worry, I'm seeing professionals about my health and wellness. -Brian G
