I spent some time talking with the team at Galen Leather at the DC Supershow and had them pick the best of the best of their new Leather Sinclair Pen Case in Deep Cognac just to share with one lucky reader.
If you’re not familiar with the Nock Co. Sinclair case, it started its life as a simple fabric case created in the Atlanta area and was then recreated in custom-printed fabrics by Rickshaw Bagworks and now Galen is bringing a new level of luxury to the humble Sinclair by producing it in fine leathers with soft, supple handwoven Kutnu lining.
The interior has three pen slots on one side and a full slot on the other to hold a pocket notebook or loose pens. There is space in the center section for an additional pen sleeve like the 2- or 3-pen coozy from Rickshaw to carry even more pens!
So… The Giveaway!
I am giving away ONE Galen Leather Sinclair pen case (shown in the photos above, pens and accessories not included). Please follow the instructions below to enter.

Mine just arrived yesterday and I LOVE it. Great design and quality. Best dark brown honey color
So glad to see Nock products are inspiring other companies! I have a Nock Sinclair that I purchased as my first pen case, with a Rickshaw 2 pen insert. They are both my EDC and my pens would be lost without them!
No Sinclairs, but a bunch of Rickshaws 🙂
What a wonderful giveaway! I have an original Sinclair and a Rickshaw Sinclair. Absolutely love them!
No Sinclair. Ii have around 50 pen cases (including Galen)but then I have 250 pens so the more the merrier!
This would be my first Sinclair. I’d be more likely to take my nice pens out if I had something like this. (LOL at myself – my “nice” pens are Lamy Safaris! )
I have a Rickshaw Sinclair and I would love this one
This would be my first Sinclair case and it looks incredible! I love a well made pen case.
I have admired these for so long. This would be my first Galen pen case. Thanks
I do have an original Nock Co Sinclair and use it to this day. This Galen Leather version would be a classy upgrade!
I don’t have an original Nook. The one you picked up is GORGEOUS! I am always looking for a beautiful way to keep my pens safe.
This would be my first Sinclair. I don’t have anything fancy like this for keeping pens and small accessories. I like the way it looks.
have a Rickshaw Sinclair from when they first introduced them. I do love their stuff from my first SoHo tote to their current Bixby.
Wow, what a giveaway. I literally just watched Inkdependence Mike review the one Galen Leather gave him at the DC pen show. I also saw Brad with Pen Addict review and I have been lusting after it ever since. I do have a rickshaw Sinclair, and it is my favorite pen case. I love leather so this looks very extravagant and beautiful.
The Galen Leather Sinclair Case looks beautiful, and if I win, it would be my first Sinclair case. A very nice giveaway!
That is such a cool pen case! I don’t have one of those (sob!!!!).
I’ve always wanted a Galen Pen case. Love this color as well.
I’ve been eyeing the new Galen Leather Sinclair case! I have pen cases from both Galen Leather and Rickshaw Bagworks, but none in the Sinclair model. Fingers crossed that this will be my first! Thanks for the giveaway!
I only have a Nock fabric rollup case that I bought from Papier Plume some odd 15 or more years ago. This Sinclair case is beautiful and would make a great little sketching/pen case.
I do not have any Galen products, but am hoping this will be the start. I have been searching to upgrade my set up as I travel.
I have an original Nock Sinclair (blue with red interior) and a Rickshaw Sinclair (Starry Starry Night).
I have both an original Sinclair (orange with blue lining) and a Rickshaw Sinclair (the St. Louis Pen Show edition with the same blue lining). I don’t have anything from Galen Leather (yet) so this would be a great way to expand the collection!
