Made for us by The Superior Labor, our Leather Roll Pen Case in Yoseka Green comes with four pocket slots giving you plenty of room to store your favorite tools and the writing instruments that inspire you in your daily life. The leather is flexible and sturdy, meant to last a lifetime and become more lustrous with use.
Our word this year is Home. In Yoseka and the stationery community, Neil and I have found our own home, a place we dreamt up and built together tiny piece by tiny piece with the help of many hands along the way. Here, we’ve found someplace where we can feel inspired by the constant flow of creativity around us; where we feel daily joy brought to us by countless kindnesses shown by friends in the community; a space where we feel safe to pursue our wildest goals and dreams; and here at Yoseka, we find all those great things many only feel in the comfort of their own homes.
We developed this Yoseka Green Leather Roll Pen Case to be a home for your 由申甲 Yoseka Fountain Pens, but we hope any of your favorite everyday carry tools will be happy in this case.
The case is designed so that, when unrolled, you can have a clear view of all your tools. The leather will soften and darken with use, transforming into your own unique belonging that fits your pens just right. The case closes with a brass buckle that serves as a functional and beautiful accent.
Because each case is individually crafted from organic leather, no two cases are the same. There will be individual differences in the color, thickness, and texture of the leather.

The high quality leather smell coming off of this smells ridiculously kewl and badass.
It also feels muuuuuuch stiffer than you think it'll be which is a good thing because it means it's made to last.
It doesn't hold alot of pens so I just limit it to my extra fine nib Montblancs and extra fine nib vanishing points, and s30, orenz nero, tombow mono eraser, montblanc 0.5mm, rotring 800, metal kuru toga , and pentel kerry sharp 50th anniversary chocolate brown.
Love it. Beautiful quality.
First off, Yoseka's customer service is second to none. They respond very quickly and are always super helpful.
As for this pen roll, it's very supple and you can feel the durability. The belt buckle is stitched into the leather, so it will never fall off. Because of how soft and supple the leather is, it rolls smoothly. Some people condition their leather product right after purchasing them, but this is soft enough so it's not necessary. The roll itself have just enough give to let my pens fit snugly without crushing them. (Really fitting for a Home for my pens). The stitching and dyeing are well done, so is the leather treatment. With frequent use and maintenance, this would last a looooong long time.
Excellent product. Highly highly recommended.
Note: For those who are new to leather maintenance, don't let it sit around. Leather is meant to be used. The oil from your hands and stretch from normal use will keep the leather supple. If you plan on keeping it in long term storage or if it gets too worn down (different from patina; this is when it stiffens up and starts cracking) then try conditioning it with leather oil (mink oil is commonly used). This is NOT the same thing as leather polish. And do NOT apply too much oil. I don't know which oil is safe for this pen roll so please do your research. For this, I think conditioning it every 2 years is more than enough; or whenever you find that it's getting too worn out. I hope someone finds this useful.
Wow, this pen roll is buttery soft, amazingly tough, well made and exceptionally beautiful. I cannot wait to see how good this looks after years of use and the patina of age only enhances all it's best qualities. I am SO glad I bought this and will cherish it for years and years.
