Today’s big announcement is that the T.G.S. x Hinze Pens collaboration fountain pen is now live! We’re happy to bring this latest release to you, which features a custom-designed acrylic from Starry Night Resigns incorporating the pantone colors from the T.G.S. blog and website. You may recall that I previously reviewed a pen from Hinze and Starry Night, called “It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere,” and I was enamored with the flat-but-not-matte look of the resin, especially the swirls of grey! I wanted to do something similar for our first custom fountain pen release.
Due to the limited quantities, “Summer Sangria” will not be made available for separate purchase. I wish I could carry it as a standard offering, but apparently the dye used went out of production after Hinze commissioned the ink a while back. We figured this particular pen collaboration was the best use!
I love how these pens turned out. Each is unique, emphasizing different colors and patterns in the material. (Check out this YouTube video, which shows the variation.) The pen features a black ceramic-plated JoWo nib (a Hinze signature), though standard unplated stainless steel JoWo nibs are available, and possibly a crimson red nib at a future date. For this initial run of pens, all pen purchases will include a bottle of “Summer Sangria” red ink, a limited edition ink unavailable elsewhere (or even here in the future, since it’s no longer made)! We’re also offering a package deal where you can grab a pen, bottle of ink, and a T.G.S.-exclusive Penwell!
The Gentleman Stationer is an authorized retailer of all brands sold.

TWSBI ECO “Heat” Fountain Pen. The latest TWSBI ECO Release is now available for purchase, with preorders currently shipping out.
TWSBI ECO “Glow Green” AND “Glow Purple” Fountain Pens. We were sold out of the glow-in-the-dark TWSBI ECOs and I didn’t even realize it until a kind reader pointed it out. This week we completely restocked on nearly all TWSBI models, with all nib sizes available for purchase.
Pilot Custom 823 Fountain Pen. Many of you are discovering the joys of a vacuum-filler fountain pen that will write practically forever without refilling! The Custom 823 is a high-capacity workhorse with one of the best out-of-the-box nibs available.
Platinum Matte Curidas Retractable Fountain Pen. To be honest, I was surprised at how quickly the recently released special edition Curidas pens sold, and we still have several available in Black and Red (Blue is gone). I may consider bringing in the standard line.
Endless Creator Retractable Fountain Pen. Curious about Endless’s experimental release? For their first pen, they designed a retractable fountain pen from the ground-up, and kept the price point at $50. We have a few remaining.
Pilot Iroshizuku Fountain Pen Inks. Of all the brands I carry, Pilot makes the most appearances on my current list of Favorite Fountain Pen Inks by color.
