New Arrivals: Pilot Custom 74 Lavender Fog Second Shipment!

February 17, 2026

Our second shipment of Pilot’s latest North American exclusive release, the Pilot Custom 74 in “Lavender Fog,” has arrived! As of the date of this post, we currently still have stock of all four specialty nibs: soft fine, soft medium, soft fine-medium, and double broad. Typically these nibs are not available on the Custom 74 fountain pen in the U.S., and we’re lucky to get them in this gorgeous light purple color! To read more about Pilot “soft” nibs and what that designation means, check out this blog post that I wrote just after these pens first arrived in October. (“Soft” doesn’t mean “flex”!)

Please note that this weekend we are attending the California Pen Show! As such, we have modified store hours: Our Nashville Shop will be closed on Thursday 2/19, and will be open Friday 2/20 from 1-5pm, and on Saturday 2/21 from 11am-4pm. Online orders will continue to be processed but may take an extra day or two. Many thanks for all your support!

I chose the Custom 74 in a Soft Fine Medium, which has been inked ever since October.
