New Arrivals: Levenger Cases and Desk Accessories, Plus Hightide Sandglasses

February 25, 2025

If I had to pick a true “favorite” section of the shop, it would be the desk and reading accessories, because this entire product segment has become a personal curation of items that I use regularly. We’ve recently brought in additional items from Levenger, ranging from the simple (Aero Clips and Page Nibs) to the more luxurious (bomber jacket leather pen cases that hold up to seven pens AND feature a zipper pouch). And we’ve added additional layouts of Levenger’s “Freeleaf” notepads, which come in grey and color-shaded annotation layouts, as well as a “vintage library” style that looks like a giant library card. Levenger was one of the brands that got me into stationery many years ago, and we’re thrilled to be able to offer it in our own shop.

Hightide Sandglasses have also returned, including new bicolor versions in 30-minute and 10-minute variations. These hourglasses were one of our first big hits, and they’re a perennial seller around the holidays (though they’re also fun to gift year-round). These new colors stand out, especially the larger version which makes a statement on your desk.

Finally, it’s last call for the InCoWriMo special! February is International Correspondence Writing Month (InCoWriMo), and for the days that remain, take an extra 10% off certain letter-writing supplies using the code “SNAILMAIL” at checkout. Note that our brick-and-mortar hours will be slightly modified on Saturday, with the store opening an hour early and closing at 3pm.

Thursday Drops: Jetstream Light Touch Pens, New Washi Tape Restock, and a Hightide/Penco Arrival!

February 20, 2025

There’s lots of fun stuff to talk about this week, including a long-awaited restock of Hightide Sandglasses, new Jetstream Lite Touch multi pens, and of course some "fun” new washi tapes! We’re also continuing to add new Lamy stock to the store, including the Lamy 2000 in Stainless Steel, and dramatically expand our selection of woodcase pencils and sharpeners.

Most of the snow and ice has been melting in the sun today, so orders have started to ship out and we should be caught up by tonight. We are open in-store today and tomorrow from 1-6pm, and Saturday from 10-6pm, so please come by and check out all of our new stuff!

These “Date Dots” from the Well-Appointed Desk will allow you to create your own day-to-a-page planner, using a bound notebook or binder system of your choice.

Thank you for reading! The Gentleman Stationer is supported by the T.G.S. Curated Shop and the T.G.S. Patreon Program. If you’d like to visit our in-person location, you can view directions and up-to-date hours here.

  1. Uni Jetstream Lite Touch 3 Multi Pen. The new arrival that I’m very excited about! As you all know, I’m a multi pen fan, and this one features the recently released Jetstream Lite Touch refills. Check out yesterday’s post for more details.

  2. Lamy 2000 Stainless Steel Fountain Pens. In addition to the classic Makrolon version, we can now offer the stainless steel version. Read our review of this fountain pen here.

  3. Lamy 2000 “Blackwood” and “Taxus” Ballpoint Pens. These polished wood versions of the Lamy 2000 are extremely underrated in terms of the attention they receive. I think the lighter Taxus might be my favorite, as it’s a wood tone you don’t see that often.

  4. Hightide Sandglasses. The shop favorite Hightide Sandglasses are back in stock, in nearly all colors and sizes! These nearly always sell out during the holidays but we will do our best to keep them in stock year-round.

  5. Lamy Noto Ballpoints (New Limited Colors). The triangular, super-silent-click Noto Ballpoint is now available in two more special addition colors, in addition to the regular line.

  6. Well-Appointed Desk Inky Dreams Washi and Stickers. We’re happy to offer the latest releases from the Well-Appointed Desk shop, including these ink bottle-print washi tape and stickers.

  7. “Grown Up” Washi Tape from iLootPaperie. IYKYK. I bought a lot, so hopefully this will be in stock for some time. Both standard and gold foil varieties are available.

  8. Tombow 8900 Pencils. The original uncapped green “Dragonfly” pencil in B, HB, and 2B hardnesses, by the dozen or individually.

  9. Uni Mitsubishi 2B Variety Packs. These 2B handwriting pencils are sold in packs of four, and in three different color combinations.

  10. Mitsubishi 9800EW Recycled Pencils. These are absolutely gorgeous natural wood pencils. Uncapped, HB hardness, available individually or by the dozen.

The Lamy 2000 in Stainless Steel: for those who love metal pens.

New Arrivals: Well-Appointed Desk Stickers and Washi, and "Grown-Up" Washi Returns!

February 18, 2025

We always love to support our friends, and we’re happy to add a line of products from the Well-Appointed Desk to the shop! As of this morning, we offer the “Inky Dreams” Sticker Sheets and Washi Tape featuring Ana’s original illustrations, as well as the “Date Dot” planner stickers that allow you to convert any notebook or ring/disk binder into a journal or planner system.

The “Date Dot” stickers from the Well-Appointed Desk come in five different colors.

And while I won’t post a photo to the main cover page here because I like to keep things (mostly) family-friendly, our “Grown Up” washi tape is back in stock, in both the original floral and the gold foil format. Fans of iLootPaperie will be happy to know that most of their other washi is back in stock, including the snail mail-themed tapes such as the popular “Par Pigeon” washi and more.

Remember that February is International Correspondence Writing Month (InCoWriMo)! For the month of February, take an extra 10% off certain letter-writing supplies using the code “SNAILMAIL” at checkout. Also, we are expecting some inclement weather this week, so keep an eye on the shop page for updated brick-and-mortar hours as necessary.

Thursday Drops: Lots of Lamy, Even More Pencils, and Japanese Paper Galore

February 13, 2025

It’s been pouring outside this week, which is good because I’ve not really been able to leave the shop, trying to get all of this new inventory entered and listed! As we talked about in Tuesday’s post, we received a large shipment of assorted Japanese papers from Yamamoto Paper, as well as Iroful Paper from Sakae Technical. All of this paper will work well with most fountain pens, and will vary in texture and thickness. We’ve also restocked on most Lamy pens, as well as the more popular colors of the Teranishi Guitar Inks.

New pencils, such as these Mitsubishi 9800EW, are arriving almost daily.

Finally, woodcase pencil enthusiasts take note: we are rapidly moving to expand our pencil offerings, from individual pencils to pencils by the dozen to sharpeners. This week’s Thursday Drops post highlights a few of the brands we have added, but more will be hitting the shop every few days!

Thank you for reading! The Gentleman Stationer is supported by the T.G.S. Curated Shop and the T.G.S. Patreon Program. If you’d like to visit our in-person location, you can view directions and up-to-date hours here.

  1. Yamamoto Specialty Paper. We have packs of 50 A4 sheets of the following specialty Japanese papers, selected for distribution by Yamamoto due to scarcity (either current or impending). Many of these papers are extremely small-batch creations or have been discontinued. (We also have standards such as Sanzen Tomoe River Paper and Tomoegawa Tomoe River Paper writing pads.)

  2. Iroful Paper by Sakae Technical Paper. This ink-friendly paper was developed specifically for fountain pens, and comes in a wide range of looseleaf formats as well as A5 notebooks. Iroful is known for showcasing ink color.

  3. Teranishi Guitar Ink Restock! Favorite colors such as Gentle Green, Antique Black, and Night Time Soda are back. We have plenty of Gentle Green, which is one of my favorites from the line. Read the review here.

  4. Lamy Safari Restock, Including All the Standard Colors. Per the photo above, we received a new Lamy display! Included with that was a large shipment of Safaris and AL-Stars in standard colors, as well as lots of ballpoints and rollerballs. Some of them are listed but photos may lag a bit.

  5. Lamy 2000 Taxus and Blackwood Ballpoints. These two unfortunately overlooked entries in the Lamy 2000 lineup are stunning. I can’t decide between them. One of each?

  6. Mitsubishi 9800EW Recycled Wood Pencils. Made in Japan from wood scraps, you’d never guess these uncapped HB pencils were recycled because they still feature a gorgeous natural finish.

  7. Faber-Castell Grip Series Pencils. The Grip 2000 pencils have a distinctive triangular shape and textured grip. We currently have both untipped and eraser-tipped versions, in HB, B, and 2B hardnesses.

  8. New Pencil Sharpeners! We have all sorts of new pencil sharpeners in the shop, including the super-portable Iwako Mini Ace sharpeners and Faber-Castell Grip Trio sharpeners.

  9. Pilot Kakuno Fountain Pens. One of the best inexpensive pens on the market, featuring the signature smiley-face nib. Don’t miss this week’s YouTube Video, in which the Kakuno features prominently.

  10. Exacompta Index Cards. You all tore through the excellent Notsu dot grid cards we introduced a couple of weeks ago, so I thought it would be prudent to bring in more brands! These cards from Exacompta feature Clairefontaine cardstock and come in blank, grid, lined, and grid/multicolor formats.

These Exacompta Index Cards are ink-friendly and come in four different rulings!

New Arrivals: Select Japanese Papers from Yamamoto, Iroful Paper, Tomoe River and More!

February 11, 2025

If there’s one request we get, it’s for more fountain pen friendly paper, especially paper designed to show off ink. Of course, the gold standard for years has been Tomoe River (which is back in stock!) but of course there are so many more excellent options that have now reached the U.S. market. Sakae Technical Paper, known for it’s Tomoe River notebooks and pads, has developed “Iroful,” an incredibly ink-friendly paper that comes in blank, .5mm dot, and .5mm grid layouts, in both A4 and A5 looseleaf, as well as A5 notebook formats.

Yamamoto Bank Paper and Tomoegawa Tomoe River (not Sanzen) A5 writing pads are back, along with A4 looseleaf packs of various Japanese Specialty Papers including different Tomoe River varieties, OK Fools, Slight White, Kin Kaku Den, Soliste, and Typewriter Paper. Though the specialty paper packs ship in packages of 50 A4 sheets, note that by cutting these sheets in half you will have 100 sheets of A5 paper, should you wish to hole-punch them for use in a disc-bound or ring-based notebook system.
