Pen Roll/Glove Leather
A refined return of a discontinued favorite, this pen roll by The Superior Labor blends functional design with elevated craftsmanship. Updated with subtle details, it features a brass tag accenting the raw-cut edge and an interior logo finished in elegant gold foil, giving the piece a light yet sophisticated presence.
Designed for both display and portability, the roll includes pockets in varying sizes to accommodate different types of pens—from slim writing instruments to larger fountain pens and markers. When not in use, it rolls up neatly for easy transport, making it ideal for artists, writers, and everyday carry enthusiasts.
Handmade in Okayama, Japan by The Superior Labor, this piece is crafted from premium Japanese glove leather known for its durability, flexibility, and lightweight feel.
Originally developed for baseball gloves, this leather is highly resistant to friction and becomes softer and more comfortable with use. The deep-dyeing process ensures rich, long-lasting color throughout the leather, while special oil treatments enhance suppleness and resilience, creating a smooth, natural hand feel that improves over time.
