Pocket pens are designed with portability in mind. While capped, a pocket pen will measure less than 125mm from end-to-end. However, when posted, it becomes a full sized fountain pen. Pocket pens were popular in the 60's & 70's but recently have been making a comeback. Being easy to slip in a pocket or purse make pocket pens ideal for travel and those who are always on the go.

Pilot was the last of the "Big Three" Japanese pen makers to join the pocket pen trend. Pilot introduced the Elite S in 1964. The "S" was meant to distinguished the new short pens from the full size Pilot Elite. Over the years, the Elite was produced in various materials and finishes from plastic to sterling silver and even wood. Even today, the Elite is still produced, under the name of "E95s." Pilot pens are marked with the month, year, and sometimes even the day the pen was produced, making them a fantastic option for "Birth-year Pens."
