&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;diff-marker&quot; data-marker=&quot;−&quot;&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #ffe49c; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Brad Dowdy:&#039;&#039;&#039; Yeah. If you want to get your emails read, just follow this template. I love the colors of my coffee amethyst case and I was wondering how you come up with colors for your products. They are all interesting color combinations. Do you choose these colors yourself? How do you decide on them? Do you have any inspiration stories on how you picked any of the color combinations? So, I have kind of, I guess, two things to say about this. One is why we do it, which then leads into the how we do it. But the why we do it goes back to when we started the company. There was no one making a good quality case that I thought looked cool that I wanted to use for my pens, right? I could get leather cases, brown and black, sometimes burgundy if they were fancy. Or I could get the nylon cases from Japan, which didn&#039;t have the structure I wanted. So, the idea behind just the company in general, when we were going to, you know, plant our flag on colors was to do something like a backpack company would. And you can look at backpack companies, you know, like Topo or Rickshaw or Timbuktu, you know, where you can like build your colors and put all these things together. We weren&#039;t going to do custom stuff, but we wanted to put together cool colors, like make baby backpacks for your pens, right? That&#039;s essentially what we were doing. So, having colorful and unique pen cases was the start, you know, was one of the reasons why we started this company. So, knowing that, then we get down to actually picking the colors. And that&#039;s all Jeff and I, my partner in &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;NOC&lt;/del&gt;, Jeff Brookwicky, who we sit down when it&#039;s time for colorways, we will sit down, we&#039;ll take a morning in the shop, we&#039;ll get out a huge stack of fabric samples, we&#039;ll get out zipper tape samples, we&#039;ll get out zipper pull samples, we&#039;ll get out thread samples, and we&#039;ll start with a general idea. Let&#039;s say we want to make a purple case. So, is it going to be dark purple, light purple, somewhere in between? Is it going to be, like, radiant? Is it going to be deep? You know? And then we figure out what, you know, exterior or interior fabric we want to play off of. What&#039;s going to be the main color that&#039;s going to lead the conversation here? And then we start digging through other color samples to figure, find out something that matches. And not only matches, it&#039;s probably not something you would think of that would match. Like, purple and yellow goes together great. Like, that seems kind of obvious to us, so we might do something different. And we do basic colors, too. Like, we&#039;ve done navy and gray. I mean, those are just good classic colors. So, we don&#039;t do only wild colors, but we kind of mix and match the basic colors, which, you know, your black exteriors, your gray exteriors, your more subdued, like, overall look and feel of colors with some wild stuff, like our unicorn barfs and unicorn snots. You know, those are the things that are fun. So, we kind of have a range of picking those out. And it&#039;s really just a matter of Jeff and I taking a morning, like about two months ago, we had to pick out our colors for the fall, for holiday season and Christmas season to get them ordered. So, we took one morning at the shop and came up with three brand new colorways. And it takes a while to, like, figure out all the details, but it&#039;s actually a shockingly little amount of time. We don&#039;t care about, like, trends or what&#039;s happening. We just care about what we think looks cool when we put it together. And hopefully, other people like it, too. So, that&#039;s kind of it. There&#039;s no science to it other than how Jeff and I feel. And I think we&#039;ve been, you know, pretty good at putting together good combos so far. So, that&#039;s pretty much it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;diff-marker&quot; data-marker=&quot;+&quot;&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Brad Dowdy:&#039;&#039;&#039; Yeah.

Sorry if already answered. That&#039;s okay. All of our questions have – a lot of the questions have been asked before, and we like talking to new listeners about new questions that they have. I&#039;ll be attending the Triangle Pen Show in Raleigh at the end of May, and it&#039;s my first show. Any tips for first-time pen show attendees? Should I bring a bunch of cash? Is credit card okay? Thanks. So I will be there as well, Jeff, so be sure to come say hi. I&#039;ll be at the &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;NOC &lt;/del&gt;booth with both of my kids, so come say hi to us there. And I can help you out with anything you need at the show, any questions you have. But a couple of things that I always reiterate when we get asked this question is, one, take it slow. You will have a tendency to get overwhelmed. Even on a smaller show like Raleigh, it&#039;s still bigger than any other thing you&#039;ve been to for, like, pens and paper. And even just a single table with the quantities of things that they have laid out in front of you can be overwhelming. Take it slow. Breathe. Drink a lot of water. Bring snacks. Stop for lunch. Do anything you can to not just go buzzsaw crazy through the entire show. Because even though you say it and you try to do it, you end up getting overwhelmed. It&#039;s like, let me look at the next thing. Let me look at the next thing. Do I need to buy this? You know, what should I do? Go slow. Breathe. Secondly, the cash or credit card question. Most vendors now are taking credit cards. There will still be some cash-only transactions. Most of the time, you&#039;ll be covered. I&#039;d bring a mix of both. You know, make sure you have cash, but a lot of times credit card is going to be okay. Okay, I do, when I meet first-time pen show goers at a show, I always tell them I&#039;m open to, like, any buying questions they have. Like, if they have a question about a pen and they&#039;re wondering about the price, feel free to come talk to me about it. Like, I&#039;m glad to take the time to help make you more comfortable with any purchasing decisions you have. I know those don&#039;t come lightly, whether it&#039;s a $10 pen or a $1,000 pen. And, you know, it doesn&#039;t matter. So, you know, come to me with questions. I&#039;m glad to help. And talk to the vendors. Like, they&#039;re more than willing to answer any questions you may have. Like, they love what they do. That&#039;s why they travel around the country and go to these shows. They will gladly answer even what you think is, like, the most simple, basic question. They&#039;re used to answering that, and they just want to help you find what&#039;s going to work for you. So, take it slow. Take it easy. Ask questions. Come holler at me if you get in a bind. And have fun, you know, and talk to people. So, it&#039;s great.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;diff-marker&quot; data-marker=&quot;+&quot;&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Brad Dowdy:&#039;&#039;&#039; We have Jeff Sandstrom, new podcast listener.

Brad mentioned last time how the crazy fine platinum UEF nibs, like how crazy fine that they are. But my platinum UEF is about the same size as my Pilot EF nib. My choice of paper or ink affects the line width more strongly than my choice of these nibs. Is that your experience as well? That paper or ink can affect the line width maybe more than the actual nib can? Yep.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;diff-marker&quot;&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Myke Hurley:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; And our last question today comes from ATP Colors. Brad mentioned last time how the crazy fine platinum UEF nibs, like how crazy fine that they are. But my platinum UEF is about the same size as my Pilot EF nib. My choice of paper or ink affects the line width more strongly than my choice of these nibs. Is that your experience as well? That paper or ink can affect the line width maybe more than the actual nib can? Yep.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

I love this. It&amp;#039;s too expensive for me to just buy. Like, MSRP is $850. And you can get it at different prices in different places, right? So like the Nipsmith, where I&amp;#039;m looking at, I go for $680, which is okay. But I&amp;#039;m not going to drop $680 on this because I don&amp;#039;t have a Pelican this size. And I have no idea what the weight&amp;#039;s going to feel like. So, you know, this is something that maybe one day I will pick this up at a pen show and it will enter my life. Because I only have one Pelican, which is the one that Thomas gave to us or gave to me. It&amp;#039;s the only Pelican that I have. So, yeah, it would be. But it&amp;#039;s too much money. It&amp;#039;s too much money to just for a pen that I really don&amp;#039;t understand, you know? Right. Kind of size and weight and stuff like that.

And this is a limited edition. So, I imagine this will, I mean, all their limited editions, you know, do really well. So, it&#039;s not like I&#039;m saying anything like crazy. But they do such a good job. I mean, Pelican does a wonderful job. I don&#039;t know what else to say. It&#039;s fascinating. I&#039;ll be anxious to try one and see what it feels like. But it&#039;ll probably be DC before I can get my hands on one. Because if they&#039;re not out to the end of June, you know, I won&#039;t see one at Drumgools. I won&#039;t see one at the Raleigh &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Penn &lt;/del&gt;Show two weeks after that.
