Good choice Seul, great quality and they'll look awesome with you duck riders jacket.

They'll look awesome with just about anything and everything… Although I should add: if those short Cuba stow brogue boots were available in black, I would've gotten those... But the light brown in combo with the 25 oz XHS'es = asking for trouble...

In short, I have koppeth:

You made the right choice, the ones you have bought are far more versatile.

That's what Finn666 said as well, ànd  two collegues at work… 

Well stoked... They should be here Tuesday or Wednesday... Now the waiting game starts...

"The early bird catches the worm" - sure sure… But this bird would rather catch some more shut eye 

Aaaah well - will be home at 12.30 pm with some bucks earned...  ::)

Heheh did I work today to afford this?.. Definitely following… Love lazy eBay users who don't even wanna clean their pens...

Dupont Fidélio roller, oxydated silver... Yep, already have one of these, but a spare one wouldn't hurt  Also: this MIGHT be the full silver version, not just the plated silver'un I have...

Seul, that shot might end up costing me money. What's the damage for a new one?

[Seul]

No idea… Bought that'un second hand for around 100 €... Tip: if ya decide to buy on eBay, do your homework, and immediately have the pen brought into a legit dealer's to verify authenticity...

I'm pretty cautious about better brands pens on ebay, although I got a nice basic Montblanc 690 ballpoint a few months ago for a good price, and it makes a nice EDC pen. Not much chance of anyone faking a 1970s/80s basic model, but I took it into the Montblanc Boutique in Manchester to get it checked and ask for a refill adapter - the woman was actually excited to see the old model refill! There's a lot of dodgy stuff on there though.

Perhaps we should have a pens and paper thread - I could go on about my Midori Traveler's Notebooks and bore everyone silly about fountain pens.

Speaking of which, I'm currently loving my Sailor 1911 Demonstrator, and I got (another) Kaweco Sport the other week with the new EF nib.

The seam between the area with the buttons and the rest of the pants went up on my N&F Elephant 2 weird guys…. a few inches of waxed linen thread fixed that, but I'm a bit curios to find out if this is how the pants are in general quality wise..

[Seul]

Yes.
