My Quest which ended in a DIY Lamy Safari Repair

[Bo Bo Olson]

I favor shirts with pockets my self. One could of course get a shirt pocket sewed into pen holders.

 

I think that puts less stress on a pen than sticking it in a pants pocket.

 

I am of course old fashioned, powdered wig, buckle shoes and sword cane.

I also have a cigar case for three cigars as a pen carrier.

 

Great work though.

A gentlemen never carries a pen lower than his vest pockets.

 

Of course, a Safari looks damn silly in a waitcoat.

I agreee. The dress shirt I was wearing that day did not have a shirt pocket. Sometimes I clip it to my button openings, but it looks a little silly. Hence, why it was in my pants. Also, if I'm weating blue jeans and a t-shirt I put it that "third" pocket-within-a-pocket in my pants.

As there have been a number of posts where people mention carrying their pen in their pants pockets, I have a fashion/etiquette question: does one use, or not use, a pocket protector when carrying a pen in your pants pocket?

[Bo Bo Olson]

Kaweco, the German Pen; has always been made a pen to carry in the pants pocket. Kaweco sport, since 1930. "ugly" short, solid, robust; made for pants pocket carry.

 

The only shirts I have with out a pocket is stuff my wife use to buy...because she thought I didn't have enough...which I did; or she wanted me to get rid of my Vintage Shirts, that are only 15-20 years old, and slowly showing age. You know good made shirts by Land's End or LL Bean,

Well Wives are as trainable as husbands.

This is exactly what I needed!

Thanks a million for the guide! I left the pen in my pocket and had the clip bent. My colleague googled this page and solved it for me! Great job!

I've just done this to my Lamy Vista but now when I put the cap back on, it still clicks closed and seems like it won't pop off, but it's definitely a looser fit. Does anyone know how to adjust the fit?

Hello, is there any way to get the pictures again?.
This topic is useful for Lamy safari enthusiasts.

Many Thanks
