The compact pen re-imagined
Couldn't load pickup availability
It's always good to have a pen handy; it's a fundamental piece of EDC gear. But sometimes a full-size pen does't fit with your everyday carry. That's why TJB created the Stilwell; our take on the compact pen. It's small in size, but punches well above its weight class. With its minimal form, it will easily ride in your pocket all day, but when it's time to do work, the Stilwell is all business.
We’ve doubled down on the Communication category with a handful of new products, including the Gatecliff notebook sleeve, the Burwell click pen and a new version of our Stilwell two-part compact pen, and a new 3-pack of TJB notebooks.

We’ve redesigned the Stilwell from the ground up, building on the history of the original and incorporating feedback from you, our customers. We’ve simplified the construction and made the Stilwell lighter, with a new barrel and cap design. We implemented an entirely new 3-part gasket system for easy, consistent and secure deployment. We’ve also made improvements to the lanyard to make it easier to tuck into the cap, and we’ve added machined-in dots (which match our new Burwell pen and our Cache River pocket tool) for better overall grip. It’s like the original Stilwell, but better.

Feels great in the hand and perfect size for keeping in my pocket for inspiration or taking down practical info. I love all the James products I have and am definitely looking to get more. Thanks James.
I have 4 other pocket pens. I love them all. This is a slightly narrower profile but it blends in seemlessly in my pocket and is easy to use when needed. Perfect complement to my daily pocket gear.
I've had it for a week now and this lil guy is a life saver. I tend to lose pens frequently. And this one is small /compact it fits in your coin pocket . It writes well and the only thing I could suggest if it came with a clip to fit in my work shirt pocket. Other than that great edc pen!
great product... its always in my EDC
I gifted this to my boyfriend, who needs out in pens. He loved it! He loved the design , in that the cap functions as the length when needed. We found that it writes very smoothly and is a pleasure to use. I saw some other reviewers say that their pens lacked this quality, so I was wary, but I’m happy to say it exceeded all expectations.
