Well said. I am from India and many people love the sailor pens. All thanks to Japan and Mr. Sakata for establishing such a beautiful brand. I actually hate fine nibs but I extremely love sailor fine nibs. When it comes to the inks and pens whether it's any page or any paper the King Sailor rules the world. Hail to the sailor.
I love theyr aesthetic but nibs are too thin for me. I get that kanji are more delicate than Western alphabet but I would use them as I use my Pilot Metropolitan, for worse quality paper that cannot handle my regular Medium or 1.1 Italics nibs. Not something I would use outside of my office.
Some of us already know the story regarding what happened with you guys and Sailor, from back in the day. Things started out well, but later they didn't treat you guys so well. Brian has always pointed out no animosity on his part towards the brand, and has always extended an olive branch towards Sailor. It's good to see that Sailor finally came around. Congrats on again becoming an Authorized Dealer. The one and only Numbered Limited Edition pen in my collection is from Sailor.
Honestly it was all just a series of miscommunications (on our part too), but it's all water under the bridge now for both us and Sailor. We are very excited to move forward in a positive relationship with them. And thank you! -Rachel
@@randy-9842 Indeed! This is fantastic news as both sides will benefit greatly from this partnership. A great Company, and a great Dealer back together again.
First, Congratulations on getting Sailor back! Second, outstanding overview. It is incredibly helpful to me. Third, It's awfully nice to see a new Goulet video again! I miss them. Again, congratulations !
Congrats Brian and Rachel! !!!You have both worked hard to get to get where you are and I think you completely deserve to get this brand!! I'm so happy for you!!
WOW! Congratulations! I've been shopping for a gold nib pen and Sailor is on the short list. While researching other sites, I kept saying, "I SO wish Goulet carried this!" Many sites list only the price under "Description"!! I've enjoyed but never truly appreciated the level of detail you give to EVERY pen-dimensions, cap info, nib writing samples, and often a video (if not for that model at least on the manufacturer)...Amazing! The Pen Community is in your debt for the quantity & Quality of content you've created. I'll never again take the Goulet pen company for granted! Didn't mean this to be so long, with all you do you really deserve (Earned) it. I'd like to continue, but I've got some inks and a pen to put in my cart. ; >
I own one of the 1911 Standard, and all I have to say is it is truly a timeless piece that I will use everyday till my last of days. It is totally worth it price, the quality is truly speaks for itself. Highly recommended!
I KNEW IT. When I read that a big announcement was coming and a new brand was being introduced, it just had to be Sailor. Congrats to the Goulet team! Now you guys have the completed the Japanese trifecta
You guys have really up your production game with the multiple angles and the smooth transitions between them. It’s a long way from the original videos, which have their own charm. I’m excited to see how your future videos turn out
I'll vouch for the excellence of Sailor fountain pens. I have at least 11 of them (all sizes of "gear" and "1911") I have one 1911 KOP (King of Pen), which you may also see advertised as the "Profit." I'm happy to see that The Goulets have been steadily increasing the range of pens that they carry, and I hope that their success continues. Theirs is one of the finest businesses that I have ever dealt with.
i'm so excited! honestly, i live in japan, so its very easy to get all this stuff, but this channel is my one source of english information about these products. (when i visit the states i always put in an order of ink to support you guys!) Sailor is everywhere, but always been a bit of a mystery to me in terms of quality and general specs. thanks!
I am so excited! Sailor was my first gold nib and always has a special place in my heart. Congrats! I am so happy you mended those fences from previous miscommunications! You both are great companies and I can now support both of you in one purchase!
Very very very nice video! I really liked it! I'm a 52yo Brazilian, just bought my Spencerian Collection, to re-learn how to write correctly and beautifully. It's a dream of mine, and I'm just enjoying it from the start. I decided that everything I did not learn well in school, due to my juvenile brain or uncompromised teachers, I will re-learn, and well, by myself. And the starting point is just caligraphy!
I second that! I have 2 Sailor pens I bought in shops but none described the detail and range as best as you. Especially also the ink ranges. They are very good pens and I really enjoy them.
Congratulations on getting Sailor back. Glad to see the communications up and going between both companies. That presentation was well done. I have 2 Pro Gear Slims in the EF....love both of them. Might need to venture into that Zoom nib or even the 2 tined Music nib.
X-change, X-out, X-oner8 Have you ever written with a Pilot Kakuno EF? I'm wondering how it compares. It's hard to find a pen that makes a line as thin as the Kakuno.
So exciting! I have a 1911, music nib, yellow, that I purchased maybe 18 years ago from another company. Brian, your tip that it writes best at a high angle, makes this pen brand new for me after all that time. Thanks GPC, so happy for you (and us).
I have to say, that information was outstandingly organised, I honestly had no idea what was going with Sailor's naming and everything before this video, although of course I had known them for a long time. Congratulations on getting authorised! ⚓.
@@42istheanswer23 really though. I've had dreams of Brian and Rachel hiring me and I just can't look anywhere else. I did one time and I regret it. #goulet4life
They have a LOT of ink. And a lot of retailer exclusives...so we won't be able to carry it all, or experience/share about it all. But we're trying to wrap our heads around as much as we can! -Brian
@@Gouletpens I'd certainly encourage this, too. Brian, you didn't mention Sailor's Bungubox line of inks. Admittedly, they ARE pretty pricey, but their Piano Mahogany ink is a wonderful shade of brown, extremely well behaved and worth what I paid for it. In fact, I bought two bottles because I didn't want it to disappear from the market place.
Can't WAIT to see what Goulet exclusives Sailor will throw your way! I'm also looking forward to getting some inks from them since a number of them have a great sheening quality yet dry quickly. Congrats again!
Congratulations on the new line. Thank you for the very complete and precise information! This video is an example of how great, carefully made, concise and harmonious pen videos look like. Congrats again for the valuable content you so graciously share.
Brian & Rachel; first off thanks for going to the office to shoot this video, much appreciated. Also thank you for the great over view of the Sailor line really helpful. Stay safe🙏🙏🙏🙏
Just got a 1911L about a month ago, as a replacement to my daily Visconti Rembrandt, really missed a review on your channel but hopefully that's coming some time in the future. The pen is truely gorgeous. The shape, though classic, is very well proportioned. The nib performs flawlessly, it's not rock-hard, as some describe it, the feedback is very subtle - it's more in the sound than it is in the feel of the nib on the paper. It's equally as smooth as the Pelikan in terms of writing quality, though.
Congrats! You and Sailor will make beautiful music together. Thank you for the good, explanatory video on the sizes and models. The sailor fans I know REALLY like their Sailors.
What an incredible and informative video! Comparing the sizes was really helpful because I don’t have access to try the one in person. I especially appreciate the demonstrations of the music and zoom nibs. I'll have to check out the nib nook and pen drawer pages for more details.
Excellent!! Excellent in both the event and in the presentation. THANK YOU Goulets AND Sailor! I have a 1911S and like it a lot, but it's a bit small. I almost lust after a 1911L ... or even a KOP, but I've already bought (too many?) very nice, high end (for me anyway) competitor pens and can't justify the expense now or in the foreseeable future. Nicely done, Brian and Rachel, but ... Ah, well, things don't always go my way. Perhaps a super special event will happen to drive me to move a new Sailor pen all the way through your cart and out the door in my direction. In the meantime LOTS of other folks are going to be VERY happy with this announcement. Thanks.
Great to see you bring in Sailors. Thank you for the in depth explanations of the various sizes, styles, nibs and inks. A bit more flexiness of the purer ie. softer gold of the 21 carat to the 14kt. As well, bigger nibs bit more flex. My first "serious" fountain pen, years ago, a 1911. Still has a place of honour. A keeper. Great video. Thanks again.
The Zoom is really cool, I gotta say. Having a lot of fun with it! Thank you, we're in good shape so far, trying to be proactive with abundance of caution. -Brian
First of all - huge congrats on getting Sailor on board. I am sure it must have been tremendously hard work to get there. Well done! Secondly... Good review video and quite comprehensive of the entire range. BUT Personally I felt the video lacked the Goulet soul. It was like many other product reviews...formal and almost mechanical. The Goulet humour, banter and spirit I felt was missing... Something which can kept me watching every single Goulet Q&A and Write Now for the past 3yrs. Even my wife who is often watching passively as I eagerly watched very video, asked me 'Why are they being so serious?' as I watched this one. I am not sure if this to do with specifically the Sailor launch... But I really hope this isn't representative of a new direction. Hope to see the Goulets going back to what made them the sensation they are.
Thanks for the honest feedback - I do appreciate it. I think we were trying to be factually correct and present a LOT of information clearly within a short window (without it being, like, an hour long) so maybe some of the banter/humor of other types of videos was lost. I don't think you should read into it as a change in direction, just one style of video that maybe felt a little different. No plans to get away from the original spirit of who we are - in fact, we may have to get pretty creative here in the next few weeks as we are homebound, like the scrappy good ol' days! :) I do think Q&A / Write Now / etc will be back in some form or fashion, when we can return to the office and get back to a normal rhythm. We're still authentically us, we're still here, and we'll get through this! -Rachel
Oh geez... I just received a Sailor Pro gear in the mail yesterday. Would have loved to have ordered it from you all. My initial assessment is that the fine 21k nib is phenomenal! I feel in love with a platinum fine, which is great, but the sailor is better. I love it. I like to use different color ink in pens of the same color. I use Noodlers bullet proof inks. So I suspect I’ll be buying more sailor pens as I can afford them. Best pen I’ve ever written with. I’m in love. Did I say I love the sailor 21k nib?
Congratulations! You fine folks got a big gift out for me just before the disruption, and I really appreciate the great service. I just swapped a lamy safari for a 1911L in my cart.....
This is the sweetest news I have heard amid the awful environment we’re in right now. Sailor is my favourite of the Japanese Top 3 brands. I have always wished for you guys to stock Sailor pens. I already have the Pro Gear, Realo and the 1911L & S, (seven pens in all). The 21k nib is to die for. Even the 14k is outstanding. Now, I really must finally, belatedly get myself the magnificent Pro Gear KoP.
I am so glad you all were able to work out your differences with Sailor! They are probably my favorite brand of ink and pen. Unfortunately not cheap, bit so good!
this is so exciting! my favorite pen in my collection is an older sailor four seasons pen with an MF nib. i typically go for a medium nib -- i have large handwriting, so when a line is *too* fine it starts looking a little wonky, but the MF nib from sailor is honestly perfect; i love it so much and haven't found anything similar in terms of the line it produces or the feel of the nib, which is glorious. they also have, imo, some of the most beautiful inks. really excited to be able to shop this brand on your site (post-pandemic, whenever that is)!
Extremely excited about this! My sailor professional gear is my most prized pen! It writes the best of my small but growing collection. You carrying Sailor is just in time for me looking at the King of Pens!!
Thank you! We're looking to add the Realo later. The full Sailor line is huge, so we didn't start out with everything from launch. Open to it later for sure. -Rachel
What caught my eye was the nib You described as the 'music nib' in Your video and I was astonished it was so narrow and it's downstroke looks more like a medium. I own a 1911L w. music nib that also has two tines but the width is much broader, like You'd expect from a Stub-type nib. The downstroke delivers at least 5-6 times (and more if flexed) the thickness as the horizontal one that would best be described as 'extra fine' to 'fine'. Are there different music nib sizes in the U.S.? Mine was bought in Japan, along with a 1911L broad, my 'workhorse pen' for everyday office use. All Sailor pens I own are absolutely excellent, be it the Pro Gear Slim or the 1911S.
Congrats on this exciting new line! Several times in the video I thought Brian was going to explode with happiness, LOL! So nice to see - you both deserve this success! :-)
Another quick comment -- super news on stocking the Sailor inks too. I have several (from other suppliers, ahem) and they are some of the best behaved, nicest colors I've seen. My favorite is the Sailor Bungubox (which you didn't mention???) Piano Mahogany brown ink. I constantly struggle to decide whether I like it, or SBRE Brown ink better. Now, the Akkerman bottle that SBRE Brown's Brown ink came in beats the Sailor bottles all to heck, but I love both SBRE Brown and Sailor's Bungubox Piano Mahogany. Great job guys!
Congratulations on carrying Sailor. Brian, I agree with you the Sailor Gentle in Sky High is a really nice blue. It would be one of my favorite blue inks.

@@jakublulek3261 ..yes the MF nib is in fact EF in use.Good pen but scratchy not suitable for begginers in fountain pens.
@@georgeargyris7834 No, these nibs are not scratchy, they have feedback which is a totally different thing.
Is high end stationary in japan more prominent or is it also very niche like here in the US ?

This is great news!! I felt dirty going behind your backs to buy my Sailors. I’m loyal that way. Now I’m going to buy from you. Yay!!
Me too. I am a loyal Goulet customer
That's great news. Years ago my brother bought me a Sailor fountain pen when he was stationed in Japan. It's one of my favorite pens to write with.

this is so exciting! my favorite pen in my collection is an older sailor four seasons pen with an MF nib. i typically go for a medium nib -- i have large handwriting, so when a line is *too* fine it starts looking a little wonky, but the MF nib from sailor is honestly perfect; i love it so much and haven't found anything similar in terms of the line it produces or the feel of the nib, which is glorious. they also have, imo, some of the most beautiful inks. really excited to be able to shop this brand on your site (post-pandemic, whenever that is)!
Congratulations, Goulets!
Extremely excited about this! My sailor professional gear is my most prized pen! It writes the best of my small but growing collection. You carrying Sailor is just in time for me looking at the King of Pens!!
Very good presentation!
Glad you liked it!
Very good and informative video from The Goulets! Sailor is my favourite pen brand. I have a bunch of them, the Naginata togi inclusive...
What a great surprise! I love Sailor inks!
Congratulations! Glad to see you've worked out arrangements to carry Sailor now.
Congrats! Awesome!
Yamadori is one of my two favourite inks. I’m so happy I can buy it from you going forward. Congratulations!!
I’m new to this hobby. If only there was such a thing as pen rental. 😪The maki-e pens on your website look so beautiful!
Many well deserved congratulations, Brian and Rachel and 大成功 ! Where's the Realo?
Thank you! We're looking to add the Realo later. The full Sailor line is huge, so we didn't start out with everything from launch. Open to it later for sure. -Rachel
Everyone get hype. This will enable me to get a gold nib from all three major Japanese pen companies strictly through goulet
3 ? I thought Pilot and Sailor were the only FP company in Japan what's the 3rd ?

@@labibsaud8064 japan has many fp makers. check out 'Nakaya'
@@sunrisereconquista7048 I knew there were other small bespoke brands but I wasn't sure there was a 3rd Major brand
What caught my eye was the nib You described as the 'music nib' in Your video and I was astonished it was so narrow and it's downstroke looks more like a medium.
I own a 1911L w. music nib that also has two tines but the width is much broader, like You'd expect from a Stub-type nib. The downstroke delivers at least 5-6 times (and more if flexed) the thickness as the horizontal one that would best be described as 'extra fine' to 'fine'.
Are there different music nib sizes in the U.S.? Mine was bought in Japan, along with a 1911L broad, my 'workhorse pen' for everyday office use.
All Sailor pens I own are absolutely excellent, be it the Pro Gear Slim or the 1911S.
Congrats on this exciting new line! Several times in the video I thought Brian was going to explode with happiness, LOL! So nice to see - you both deserve this success! :-)
Hooray!!!!!!!!! Good for you! Congratulations :)
Thank you so much 😀We're pumped! -Brian
Could you compare them with Custom 74?
What a nice video! Thank you for your professionalism and now too many options between the models, colors and nib to choose from!
The fit and finish on my sailor pens have to be seen to be believed. My favorite company of the big 3.
Given the history this was a major surprise. I may need to look into that zoom nib on something.
Used fountain pens in high school and college. Fifty years later I am interested in using a fountain pen again. How do you refill them these days?
Another quick comment -- super news on stocking the Sailor inks too. I have several (from other suppliers, ahem) and they are some of the best behaved, nicest colors I've seen. My favorite is the Sailor Bungubox (which you didn't mention???) Piano Mahogany brown ink.
I constantly struggle to decide whether I like it, or SBRE Brown ink better. Now, the Akkerman bottle that SBRE Brown's Brown ink came in beats the Sailor bottles all to heck, but I love both SBRE Brown and Sailor's Bungubox Piano Mahogany.
Great job guys!
Great job guys!
Congratulations on carrying Sailor. Brian, I agree with you the Sailor Gentle in Sky High is a really nice blue. It would be one of my favorite blue inks.
That’s awesome news! Any plans/ rough timeline to add the studio series to the inks you carry?
Well you two are two peas in the same pod! Lucky to have found one another! Sweet review too!
