Three-Pen Montecristo Leather Case in Saddle Brown with pens
[variants=45698281767166]

Vintage Gold American Leather 3-Pen Pouch

Designed for the man who appreciates the finer details, this pen sleeve features a refined silhouette and subtle embossing.  It's the perfect complement to your curated collection of writing instruments and leather goods.

Truly Uncorrected Italian Full-Grain Aniline Leather Inside and Out

Leather has always been the preferred material for protective cases, whether for opera glasses or delicate instruments. Our case is made entirely from Italian top quality uncorrected full-grain leather, warding your pen within a shelter made from an all-natural material soft enough to provide cushioning but durable enough to soften impacts and dropping.

As a cost-saving measure, non-leather linings are increasingly utilized for the inside lining of pen pouches. At Fort Belvedere, we never compromise on quality. We found that the natural grippiness of leather was the ideal medium for holding pens securely in place without crushing or distending them. Unlike suedes or velvets, smooth leather is also slick, in no way impeding the smooth extraction of the pen.

Harvested from English Bulls

To guarantee the highest quality leather, our pen pouch is crafted solely from the hides of English bulls. Unlike cow hides, which may stretch or show imperfections post-birth, bull hides remain flawless and provide a greater quantity of the premium hides we seek. These hides are naturally superior and need no synthetic enhancement.

Heritage Italian Tannery

To match the caliber of our premium hides, we sought out a tannery of equal stature and discovered it in Italy—a country renowned for its master leather craftsmen. Boasting over a hundred years of history, this tannery excels in crafting top-tier open-pore leathers. Moreover, it is committed to sustainable production, ensuring fair labor practices and stringent environmental safeguards are integral to its philosophy.

Incredible Velvet-Like Leather Hand

Our Americana leather has been finished to offer a supple tactile experience not unlike the effect of velveteen. With age, the leather will gain a warm shine and become somewhat darker and richer. With no topcoat covering, you are able to experience the leather itself directly with every touch.

Patinas Beautifully with Age and Use

The leather of this pen case has been treated with a mild wax finish. As a result, scratches and marks may be more noticeable until they are softly buffed out. With time, as the natural oils and waxes settle, these minor blemishes will merge back into the original color, resulting in unique tonal changes in the leather. Therefore, each interaction and the progression of time will transform the case into a unique work of art.

Radiant Vintage Gold Dye

This pen carrier has been dyed a stunning vintage gold. Thanks to our aniline-dyeing process, the dye has been fully absorbed into the leather in a procedure that can take over 12 hours, ensuring a long-lasting color that won’t fade and will bring out the patina of the leather as the carrier ages. Sunny and warm, this color, combined with the feel of the leather, has a rugged appearance that is ideal for more casual ensembles.

Radiant Depth of Color

Our unique dyeing process, combined with the specialized waxes and oils applied to this leather, bestows upon the antique mahogany Montecristo leather a remarkable depth and a unique "pull up" characteristic. This means that when the leather is gently stretched, it unveils a wealth of colors and textures that are naturally present within the leather.

Elegant Contrast Stitching

Tight, neat stitching helps to guarantee the longevity of any leather product and is something that any connoisseur would immediately notice. Therefore, we decided to employ a cream-colored thread to emphasize this superlative work.

You can also consider this contrast thread another hallmark of quality: because sewing is done near the end of the production cycle, any mistakes, which the bright thread makes immediately apparent, would require scrapping the accessory and starting over. Naturally, our craftsmen don’t want that, so they’re incentivized to provide only their best and neatest work.

Matching This Pen Case to Your Fountain Pen

No matter its size, this pen case will securely hold your pens; whether it is a large Montblanc Meisterstück 149, or an Omas 360, a thin ballpoint pen, it will fit beautifully with any one of our pen cases.

All of the dye choices for our Fort Belvedere products have been made to ensure the widest possible versatility and pairability. For added elegance, however, it does not hurt to take the color of your pen into consideration when selecting a pen pouch.

The vintage gold coloring of this case provides a magnificent opportunity to play with colors. Imagine pairing it with fountain pens in deep burgundy or navy blue for a classic, sophisticated contrast. These shades would not only complement the warm tones of the leather but also stand out individually.

For those who enjoy a more vibrant palette, a forest green or a rich plum can create a delightful visual harmony, bringing an unexpected pop of color that's both striking and tastefully elegant. And let's not forget the timeless allure of a sleek black fountain pen, which promises to exude elegance and never goes out of style, much like the vintage gold case itself.

Care

To nourish the leather and keep it supple and appearing its most fine, we suggest that every couple years you apply an unpigmented shoe polish or cream to its surface. Buff the polish or cream as you would your shoes.

Cleaning

If water is spilled on this leather accessory, remove all items from it, blot away (don’t rub) any excess liquid, and allow it to air-dry fully.

Please note that artificially drying leather goods, like with a hairdryer or heat gun, will degrade the leather.

If this leather accessory should become stained, clean it following the instructions on the dedicated leather cleaner of your choice.

If the stain persists, take the accessory to a dry cleaner that specializes in cleaning luxury leather goods.

The Finest Bovine Leather

Fort Belvedere proudly sources four unique varieties of treated leather, each with its own special qualities. These particular leathers are employed for most of our small leather goods, allowing you to easily match the leather accessories in your ensemble.

Americana, Dumont, and Montecristo Leather

Our Americana, Dumont, and Montecristo leathers were all tanned in Italy with hides exclusively taken from English bulls. Why bulls? Leather from cows that have calved can stretch and warp, altering the look. In contrast, bull leather is free from these imperfections, maintaining the pristine, authentic quality of the material without reliance on synthetic alterations.

These skins then underwent our tanning process at an Italian tannery steeped in heritage, boasting more than a hundred years of operation. This establishment is not only committed to crafting the highest quality open-pored leathers, following the esteemed Italian artisanal methods but also prioritizes sustainable sourcing, fair labor standards, and reducing its environmental footprint.

Togo Leather

The leather for our Togo line of wallets was sourced solely from young cattle that graze in the elevated meadows of the Alpine region. Why is this significant? The Alpine climate is cooler, resulting in a reduced number of insects. A lower incidence of insects leads to fewer bites on the animals, which can otherwise damage the leather, causing imperfections. Additionally, while the hides of calves are more expensive than those of larger cows and bulls due to their size, the exceptional characteristics of calfskin—its resilience paired with softness—justify the cost.

These hides then underwent tanning and preparation at a historic German tannery with centuries of operation under its belt. This esteemed tannery is committed to crafting the most exquisite open-pored leathers, upholding the venerable legacy of German artisanry. In serving not only Fort Belvedere but also numerous elite and luxury fashion brands, it secures its reputation as a purveyor of premium leathers.

What makes this all-leather pen holder from Fort Belvedere special?

The fountain pen is one of the most seamless unions of form and function. No other writing instrument is so personal, so elegant, and so delicate. Whether utilized daily for writing or carried only for signatures, a quality fountain pen is a well-crafted tool that cannot function well and will not last if subjected to unnecessary jostling, impact, and scratching. Like the box in which it was shipped, a pen wallet is vital to the preservation and maintenance of your fountain pen.

At Fort Belvedere, we have carefully designed and executed a superior pen pouch that combines the highest quality materials with unparalleled construction and the most functional features. The result is a pen carrier case that is beautiful to see that works beautifully as well, protecting your fountain pen wherever it goes.

Details & Specs

Three Pen Montecristo Leather Case in Antique Mahogany opened
  • Total Wrap-Around Protection

    A pen sleeve has one primary function, and that is to protect your pen. With its all-leather pouch and all-leather cover flap, our pen holder completely covers your pen, offering 360 degree protection, securing the body against scratches from other items in your pocket or case while cushioning the fragile nib in the event of a fall.

  • The Features You Need

    Because it is such a simple item, your pen case needs to have the features that make your life easier, without superfluous elements that just add bulk. This concept guided us from day one as we designed our pen case.

  • Easy-To-Use Magnetic Flap

    Most pen cases have a snap, toggle, or loop to hold the covering flap in place, but we found that these over-engineered options just created a hassle without materially improving pen retention. That’s why we opted for a high-powered magnet that allows you to pop the flap open and shut with just one hand but still holds the pen securely in place.

  • Convenient Pen Holder Size

    Many pen pouches are made extremely slim to facilitate easier carrying, but without leather of sufficient thickness, your pen is not totally protected. Conversely, other brands make pen carriers so large that lugging them around is a hassle. After extensive testing we settled upon the dimensions of this pen case, which we found to provide optimized protection in an elegant package.

  • Fort Belvedere Leather = Uncompromising Quality

    Fort Belvedere sources the leathers for all our products from the same artisanal mills and each leather type is specifically chosen to excel in functionality for its chosen product. Too often, pen holders are made from cast-off leather to save money, but we’ve sourced leather of the same exceptional quality and functionality that we use in our wallets and our passport holders.

  • Heirloom Quality Pen Holder Construction

    Whether your collection consists of one pen or 100, you are a dedicated custodian of your fountain pen and expect only the best; it isn’t wrong to demand a pen case that looks as great as it functions to suit your lifestyle, whether transporting your pen to the office, studio, or out-and-about. We spared no expense in producing a pen holder of which you can truly be proud; a pen holder worthy to be the sheath of that noble instrument that is “mightier than the sword.”

  • Proudly Made in Europe

    With a history of craftsmanship, stringent quality, environmental and fair labor laws, and access to a massive pool of talented workers, many of the finest menswear goods are made in Europe. This leather bifold wallet has been carefully constructed by artisans who have studied and practiced their trades for years.

  • The Finest Leather for a Pen Holder

    Most pen holders are regarded as disposable, low-cost items crafted from cheap materials, leading to a continuous cycle of purchase and disposal. Our mission was to create an elegant accessory that not only functions effectively but also boasts an aesthetic appeal, necessitating the use of premium materials with a focus on leather. This choice elevates our costs, yet it results in an exceptional product that promises enduring utility with appropriate

  • Thinned Folded Edges

    Folded edges are essential for ensuring the durability of leather goods. But most are made with edges that are cut and then painted or burnished. With wear, this edge dressing deteriorates over time and cracks. At Fort Belvedere, the edges of our leather goods are meticulously thinned down at an angle before being folded and sewn together. This not only produces a uniform edge thickness, but it also greatly reduces the wear on the edges of the accessory. As a result, our folded-edges typically last twice as long as edges that are just edge-painted or burnished.

  • Gorgeous Tapered Lines

    The flap on this case intentionally mirrors the silhouette and lines of our belt collection, creating a subtly and incredibly nuanced homogeneity between leather goods that adds intentionality and refinement when you pair your Fort Belvedere pen case with a Fort Belvedere belt.

  • Discreetly Debosed Pen Holder

    The dignified Fort Belvedere crest has been discreetly debossed on the front of the flap of this pen case, providing an uncluttered visual clue as to the elevated pedigree of the accessory. The Fort Belvedere name has been subtly rendered on the rear of the holder at its base.

  • Available with One or Three Pen Capacity

    Our single-pen carrier holds your pen in place with its thick, grippy leather. For our three-pen holders, rather than featuring rigid slots, the sections designed to hold each of your three pens have been designed with mobile tabs. These tabs prevent the pens from touching, ensuring that no damage from scratching can take place, but they also serve as grips that can adjust to the size for your pens, providing a safe hold no matter what size the pen is.

  • Extensively Tested Pen Holder

    This pen holder was extensively tested internally by our team, all of whom are true believers in the excellence of fountain pens; we would never subject our precious writing implements to an inferior writing instrument case!
