The Casual Writer
All hail khakis, polo shirts, and now the Pocket Pen from Quill. Until sport shirt makers get with the program and start re-instituting pockets, the major hazard of Casual Friday will remain the jab to the nether regions you receive when you plop down at your desk, forgetting you left your Bic in your pants pocket. The ingenious Pocket Pen forestalls possible disaster because, measuring only four inches long with the cap on, it settles to the bottom of the average pocket like a cigarette lighter. When the cap is removed and placed on the pen top, however, you’ve got a comfortable, nicely weighted, five-and-a-half-inch-long writing instrument in your hands. The barrel is wider than the average pen, also for optimum pocket comfort.
The Pocket Pen features the Providence, RI, pen maker’s trademark slant top for logo display. Color choices are chrome, gold, and matte blue and black. The gold model goes for $12.84 on orders of 250-plus;other colors are $8.12. Clip models have just hit the production line.
