The TWSBI ECO Heat fountain pens have arrived, and are they ORANGE! Amid some speculation as to the exact hue, I can confirm that the recently released ECO Heat fountain pens are a solid orange (I’d describe the exact shade as “Habanero”), and completely different from the ECO-T Saffron and other recent releases. Check out this YouTube video, in which I did a short video comparing the ECO Heat, the ECO-T Saffron, the ECO Transparent Yellow, plus a couple of other pens that are no longer in production.
From left, the TWSBI ECO Transparent Yellow, TWSBI ECO Yellow, TWSBI ECO Heat, TWSBI ECO-T Saffron, and the TWSBI Transparent Orange.
You may also notice that we have fully restocked on nearly all other TWSBI models that we carry, and should have most nib sizes available.

T.G.S. x Hinze Pens Exclusive Fountain Pen Collaboration!
[UPDATE: The Hinze Pens are now available!]
Details, details! On Thursday, July 6, we will officially release our fountain pen collaboration with Hinze Pens! Featuring a custom-designed blank from Starry Night Resins, which incorporates all of the T.G.S. blog colors, this pen features a black-plated ceramic nib (sizes EF through 1.1mm stub), and will ship with a bottle of limited edition “Summer Sangria” fountain pen ink! The ink will not be available for purchase separately, since it was a limited run commissioned by Hinze and was only released to me for sale with these particular pens. Through tomorrow night, the pen and ink are available for purchase by Patreon members, since early access to exclusive releases is one of their benefits, along with a slight break on the price.
General pricing will be as follows:
T.G.S. x Hinze Fountain Pen plus the Limited Edition Ink will retail for $225. These will only be sold together as a package. I will also have a limited number of standard stainless steel nibs and crimson-plated ceramic nibs available for substitution/separate purchase later this week (details to come).
T.G.S. x Hinze Fountain Pen, plus Limited Edition Ink, Plus a T.G.S. “Aged Red” Penwell will retail for $290. We’re down to the last of our Penwells, and plan to offer a package that includes all three T.G.S.-exclusive products for a slight price break.
I’m pleased with how the fountain pens turned out, and can’t wait to get these in your hands!
Our “Sangria Red” ink is a limited run of 30 bottles. This particular dye isn’t available anymore, so I understand that only this single batch of ink remains.
The Gentleman Stationer is an authorized retailer of all brands sold.
