You may not know, but pens are a bit of a TRiCKETT fetish, not in a weird channel 4 documentary way though. Having a decent writing instrument in your pocket shows that you are a person of taste and decadence.

Caran d’Ache are some of the best pen makers in the world and have been making art supplies and things to write with since 1915. This beauty is their iconic 849 model and is comfortably my favourite pen ever – the weight, the quality and the clip, it is just perfect.

‘Sammer’s shirt’ pays homage to my dad in 1994 calling international directory enquiries, getting Borussia Dortmund’s phone number, speaking to the front desk, being transferred to the club shop, ordering an illuminous yellow, Nike, Dortmund shirt (with #9 Chapuisat on the back I might add), speaking German, sending his credit card number on two separate faxes to the shop and then delivering his shirt to an unsuspecting son (me). I imagine he used a pen whilst doing some of that and I thought neon yellow would be a good tip of the hat to the best dad in the football shirt buying business (amongst other things).

Maybe you will be lucky enough for someone to buy a Swiss-made watch or even a Swiss-made bar of chocolate (Toblerone please message about a collab), but if you are really lucky, someone super special will buy you one of these lovely pens and you’ll use it every day just like me… and maybe temporarily lose it on a bus in Paris.
