What is the most amount of pens you clip to your t-shirt neckline at once?

[Wash Wash]

Hi, I usually like to always have a pen on my person when I go out, run errands, or whatever and I usually keep a pen or two or on occasion even three clipped to my shirt neckline.  I was just wondering what the most amount that y'all do.

One at most.  Mostly I bring pen sleeves with me in my purse, for day-to-day use, that hold one or two pens in them.

OTOH, if I'm at a pen show, and am having repairs done, I will often bring a 12-pen case or two, and carry them around in a basket (along with other stuff I want to have with me, including a shopping list and a notebook or two to keep track of what I saw at which table, and maybe a lunch bag and a soda..., and my lumbar support towel.  

At the beginning of the month at OPS, I had two pen cases with me -- one for pens I needed to get repaired, and one for pens I'd be wanting to use.  And of course if I bought anything I'd also wanted the basket for putting stuff in to carry it around, rather than running back out to the car or up to my room....

ALL of them. I have a bullet bandolier and fill it with pens every time I go outside😆

@Waltz For Zizi -- I have way too many pens to be able to do that....  My back couldn't take the weight....

Sometimes in the past when I carried a pen clip on a t-shirt two problems were always present: the barrel unscrewed from the cap, or they leaked. A better solution has been a Kaweco Sport with a case in the pants pocket.

Zero.

 

And particularly not my clipless pens.

 

I should also point out that if I carried all my pens in a bandolier, I would probably be unable to move 🙂

Zero. Too many dropped or uncapped. But I am a careless barbarian.

Never on a t-shirt, but always in my pocket. One.

Three, in one of the three-pen Parker soft folders: (a) whichever fountain pen I am currently in love with, usually a Parker sonnet; (b) a sonnet Vision Foncé ballpoint with red liquid gel ink, for doing crosswords - because the paper in newspapers and magazines is such rubbish; and (c) a sonnet premier red laque ballpoint with standard ballpoint fill - because the forms I tend to get presented with are on even worse quality paper. It makes a good impression when you unroll the pen folder and choose the appropriate one.

I don't wear t-shirts. I have, however, been in the habit of clipping a pen to my dress neckline. Normally, my pens get clipped to my Filofax or are in a pen pocket of my handbag, but I recently bought two new leather pen cases. I haven't used a pen case regularly in at least a decade.

Neckline?  Usually one, a Jinhao 51A XF, clipped to hang outside the shirt (or scrub pocket when at work).  I can draw it or cap it one-handed, and I have never had either a Jinhao 51A nor a Hero 616 just drop out of its cap when so carried.

But most of my t shirts also have breast pockets, and I often will have two or three pens there.
