Innovativing Journaling Pen Case - Great Product!
I just purchased my second one of these and have to give a shout out to Innovative Journaling for their work.
These are expensive but well worth the expense if you have pens that you want to carry in multiples and what them to be safe. Rarely you will find that they have a sell on their leather products and that is the time to purchase them, but again it is rare that this happens. I have one in the Taos Whiskey leather and one in the Bomber Jacket. The quality of their workmanship and especially their design makes them very desirable when it comes to protecting your expensive fountain pens. And the chenille lining is very thick and offers another soft layer to keep any leather rub on the finials of your pens. One of the best things about it is that it will carry 5 large pens SAFELY (no real chance of scratching on dinging each other and you still have room for a pocket size Moleskine journal or any pocket journal. You can also remove all the pens by pushing out the 5 pen slip and removing them by pushing them out of their place by pushing from the bottom. So even if you put the pens in their groove clip and all it is easy to remove them. You can also leave the entire pen slip out and then you have what Innovative Journaling calls their Accessory pouch which will then hold things like a journal, check book, and mobile phone along with a pen or two. Taos Whiskey Removable Pen Sleeve Bomber Flight Jacket Great Design Check them out. innovativejournaling.com- Caution Please see Posts below!!!!

Looks great Richard. Would you say the chenille lining is on par with micro fiber for scratch prevention? I’m looking for a 3 pen case that is virtually pen scratch proof from all angles. I’ve been using Omas sleeves in a Montegrappa pen box but the spring has broken in the box. I guess it’s good for shipping pens but not opening several times a day. I’m 100% satisfied with the scratch resistance provided by the Omas sleeves but just need a closed cover for moving pens with 360 degree scratch resistance. I rest my pens on the Omas pen holder shipped with the pen at work 99% of the time.......I might be mildly obsessed with keeping my pens scratch free 🤪. Maybe I should ask, how does the feel of the chenille lining compare to an Omas shipping sleeve. I’ve heard rumors that you have an Omas pen or twenty in your collection so you might know what I’m talking about!

Yes... In my opinion it feels like silk threads woven together. I carry several of my most expensive resin pens and Urushi pens with no issues. Another thing you can do is push the pens into the sleeve so deeply that they are completely protected from top to bottom by the leather sleeve. Again it is super easy to remove them by pushing them out through the bottom of the sleeve once you remove the sleeve from its leather case. Here is a Wiki on the chenille. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chenille_fabric

So, beginning today I am going to put on hold all recommendations to do any business with Innovative Journaling.
I will leave it there for now and will add a full explanation soon. Just please be aware that if you order from them you may not get your products. Again, I will explain more soon, but if I didn't provide this caveat I would feel responsible if what seems to be happening to me, happened to you per my recommendations of this company. Something has definitely changed.

You are welcome. Please stand by.
I cannot believe that Arthur would do this to me after a 10 year relationship and many 100s of dollars spent with him, but life is a teacher. I will post the outcome.

Just an update.
I received a refund yesterday, a day after the PayPal deadline passed for Arthur from Innovative Journaling to answer. He never answered so it appears that PayPal refunded the complete cost back to me including shipping and will attempt to recover from him. It is really too bad that such a talented leather artist turns out to be the kind of person he has revealed himself to be. I do not recommend anyone do business with Innovative Journaling.
