1. Get some Teneues cards (1, 2, 3) with Hadley’s art. As well as making great correspondence cards, they’re great for decorating your Filofax
2. Get a punch (use the metal one; the portable one requires some serious pressure (read: stepping) to get it to work), and align the art.

   

3. Insert and you’re done. No need to even resize or trim the card down!

   

It disturbed me that the Filofax pen loop diameter really only fits thin pens and their own slim pen, which I have since thrown out. It’s also odd that you can’t find any information. For the record, Lamy Safari pens won’t fit either.

I thought about it for awhile, and tried to figure out a way to get this nice pen to fit. I dug around my desk drawer and found:

• a uniball vision pen
• a long, wooden golf tee

No, I’m not much of a golfer. If golfing means getting the lowest score, then the only way I can accomplish that is by not playing.

Simply, I stuck the uniball pen in the loop (which fits very well, albeit a tad tighter than slimmer pens), and plied the golf tee underneath. I then let the stretching duo sit overnight.

The result: a perfect fit for the Montblanc. Slides in and out easily, but lots of tension to keep the pen secure.

Yes, the pen does hang a bit out over the top edge, but it fits well, and is plenty compact enough for portability, using the Pocket-size Filofax. Additionally, a U.S. Passport fits snugly in this version of the Filofax.

Happy writing!
