A pox on all of their houses or did someone already say that?

Interesting list about the pocket pens from The Gentleman Stationer. However, as a woman, I rarely have pockets in which to carry pens. I found it particularly interesting to look at which items on his list of criteria actually mattered for my personal EDC pen list.

Like you, I have little use for pens designed for a pocket. However, these compact pens fit in a diminutive evening bag and travel well with a very small journal. So they can fit a rotation for those lacking a shirt pocket.

This is very true! But I’m less worried about some of the problems he presented with small fountain pens, so I want small FPs I can carry in itty bitty evening bags. (Next on my wishlist is a TWSBI Mini of one variety or another.)
