I started making this pocket case for one of my Montblanc 149 s way back in the summer after I made a pocket case for someone else.
I started by forming some kydex over my large form I also cut a deep slot to allow for the 149 clip

I cut and formed a piece of leather using some spare thread to keep the edges in place

I left the top section to dry for*......5 months then wondered what had happened to it I found it under a load of rubbish on my desk and dyed it black.

I don't know if my phone camera is not working very well or if it is just bad photography

I often show final pictures before the edges are finished so this is just to show that I can do them.

The idea of this design is to allow a fragile fountain pen to be carried in a front pocket without damage.
Thanks for looking
