Introduction

First time poster here. I just realized it's been two years since I made this account but haven't had the chance to actually roam the forum. I've got a few too many hobbies as I'm sure many others here have. My core collection revolves around fountain pens, shoes, and tailored menswear. I used to collect watches too but have reduced my collection to just two pieces. I'm trying to be more deliberate with all my purchases and hope to end up with a capsule collection for each of my hobbies. Here are a few pictures of what I have.

My core fountain pen collection

Allen Edmond Strands I got from Dabondo in Ebay with an excellent museum patina by patinaworksaz on IG.

And a steal of a watch, this Hamilton Pan Europ I got for less than two hundred bucks

You have grabbed a very nice collection in brown. The iconic color in your collection is brown which reflects an antique look to each of the products you have collected.

Hey! Greetings from a fellow fountain pen collector- that's a lovely collection you have there. I love the Wahl Doric, and all the Conway Stewarts- I still don't have any of those! Beautiful. I finally scored a Pelikan M1000 and had Mike Masuyama grind it to a broad oblique stub. It's like stepping into the past, I swear.

You make those Allen Edmonds look great! I always thought the basket weave looked a little gaudy, but just with your socks and trousers in the frame, I can see I'm wrong!
