The James Brand
The Bolen
Communication with a twist
The Bolen is our first twist-retractable pen. Its two-handed twist action ensures it will never deploy by accident on your desk or, worse, in your pocket. Featuring a precision-machined barrel with a thinner, more ergonomic diameter, along with a machined pocket clip, the Bolen complements any desktop or pocket. Twist pens are revered for their smooth and silent operation (compared to the familiar “click” of click pens), offering a more refined way to interact with your daily writing instrument. The Bolen’s lightweight durability and satisfying twist action make it hard to put down. It comes with a black Parker-style G2 ink refill for an ultra-smooth writing experience. This also means you can easily customize your Bolen, as these refills are widely available in a variety of ink colors and line sizes.

Technical Specifications
A Twist of the Wrist.
Twist pens are great for daily carry, as they are very quiet (quieter than a standard click-pen) and have a bit more of a refined feel in the mechanism. Not having an “out-the-top” actuator can help prevent the leaks that can occur with a standard click-pen when they are accidentally depressed, which can be standard fare if you are often fishing around in your pockets. The twist mechanism also provides for a more minimal aesthetic with less “stuff” sticking out of your jeans.
Choose Your Poison.
The Bolen uses widely available Parker-style G2 ink cartridges; these are the same cartridges that we use in our Burwell pen. This is one of the world’s most popular refills, meaning you can find them nearly anywhere, in a variety of nibs, sizes and colors. The Bolen ships with a oil-based 7mm medium black ballpoint refill; we keep these refills in stock.
Details Matter.
We are obsessed with details here at TJB, and the Bolen didn’t escape our attention in this regard. From the seamless design to the paint-filled electric moss degree mark on the top, we came in close and sweated the small stuff. It’s the culmination of the little things that matter in the end.
