![]() Tired of wearing the same formal shirts throughout the week? Need a change? Well, you can try out dress shirts, polos, tunics, work shirts, visibility shirts and so on. No longer are casual shirts the only way to look smart, as there are several variants in formal shirts as well. You might be wrong if you think that, men do not have many options when it comes to formal shirts. However, women are allowed to wear other forms of formal wear as well. Both men and women are expected to be in formals during the work hours. No matter which industry you belong to, formal shirts and trousers are a must. Formals are a must in the office as it reflects the professionalism and leaves a great impression. Most of the corporate have a dress code that must be followed by all the employees. You can win half of the battle by the way you look and the rest half with your communication and intelligence. ![]() You can go with a tee or a casual shirt for a personal meeting whereas you must wear a formal shirt and blazer in the case of a business meet. ![]() Whether you are going for a casual event or a business meeting, your dressing has to sync with the place and purpose of your visit. The first judgment takes place by the dress we wear. People judge us with the dress that we wear, the way we carry ourselves and the way be talk. This arrangement works no matter what shirt I am wearing.It is very true that our appearance matters a lot. The journal is a classic size zip up affair and has provision for carrying a fountain pen inside. My planner/journal is normally within arms reach, if I am at my desk or out and about. These seem deep enough for the pens in my rotation, so I carry a pen there. Some of the ones I have used pockets with flaps and a separate pen pocket next to the main one. In the winter, I like to wear long sleeved flannel shirts. I found this case at a pen show a number of years ago - no name or markings on it. I have several cases but the one most often used is a 3 pen case made of soft leather with a fold over flap. I started carrying a two pen leather case and just slip it into the front pocket of my jeans.The pens stay secure and are easily accessible. The depth of the pockets in my tees is a bit shallow for many of my pens to ride safely. I am also retired and now days rarely wear anything other than jeans or shorts and pocket tee shirts. So I'm hoping some of y'all will have some suggestions before I resort to getting a seamstress friend to sew me some new shirts with pen pockets from scratch. And all of these are casual/work shirts, not the sort of thing I could wear with a suit or a sports jacket. I recently acquired a Tri-Mountain short sleeve shirt that was described as having a "hidden inner pen pocket." This proved to be little more than a flap of cloth along the right inner side of the left breast pocket that's only attached on one edge - better than nothing, I suppose, but not a true pen pocket. I have some Cabela shirts (both short and long sleeved) that have a hole in the pocket flap to let you carry a pen, which is great but also makes it difficult to open the pocket without removing the pen. Have any of you out there had better luck? Unfortunately, finding shirts with pen pockets - especially dress shirts or other "nice" shirts as opposed to work shirts - has proven difficult for me. The obvious solution is a shirt with a special pen pocket - typically a pen-width pocket next to, or part of, the larger pocket on the left breast. One of the easiest ways to do this is in one's shirt pocket, but unfortunately many pens (especially the heavier ones that I like) tend to make the pocket sag, don't always stay in place, and so on. I'm not sure this topic precisely falls under the rubric of "pen paraphernalia," so if this post is more appropriate for another forum, by all means someone with Awesome Moderator Powers please move it there.Īs fountain pen lovers, I suspect most of us like to carry a FP along if we can.
