As an Overseas Limited Edition, this special release is available only to international markets.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe pen’s body is cast in a warm, earthy chocolate-brown resin, subtly dappled on the cap with soft, dark spotting reminiscent of the cat's natural camouflage. Around the barrel, a continuous two-sided illustration brings the animal's gentle spirit to life: one side reveals an inquisitive Iriomote cat gazing forward with round, curious eyes, while the reverse shows the mother cat from behind with an adorable kitten peeking over her back. Rendered in tawny-tan tones with bold, leopard-like spots, the pen is finished with  polished gold-plated trim and fitted with Sailor’s gold-plated F3 stainless steel nib, hand-finished by master craftspeople.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWriting with the Iriomote Cat also supports its survival: a portion of proceeds from every pen sold is donated directly to the World Natural Heritage Okinawa Conservation Consortium to aid active wildlife preservation and habitat protection across Okinawa.

The founder Kyugoro Sakata was given a fountain pen by a friend returning from the UK after studying at the Royal Navy. He was inspired and determined to start making fountain pens in Japan. Sailor became the first fountain pen company in Japan, and earned many more firsts in Japan -- first ballpoint pen in 1948, first ink cartridge in 1954 and first brush pen in 1972, etc.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the 1970's, Sailor made a popular beginner fountain pen, \"Candy,\" that sold more than 15 million within a few years. However, the number of the fountain pen users were declining as ballpoint pens became more mainstream.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eIn 1981, Sailor decided to go in the opposite direction from their \"Candy\" pen and began focusing on producing a higher standard series, which is the 1911 series we see today. Their focus on making a higher standard provides a great foundation for their later series of pens. Today, Sailor makes one of the most diverse lines of nibs, some of which are designed for specific writing purposes such as writing musical notes to one that is best for character writing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 1911 offers a great balance and a smooth writing experience. The pen writes with a slight but satisfying feedback and it fits perfectly in the hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLengths:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCapped: 12.9cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePen only: 11.5cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePosted: 14.7cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDiameters:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCap: 1.6cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBarrel: 1.3cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSection: 0.9-1cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeights: 21g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1717\/0621\/products\/imagejpg_9dd30350-80c7-45fa-a54f-b57f56be2e60_large.jpg?v=1555684099\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sailor","offers":[{"title":"Extra Fine","offer_id":68055613243605,"sku":"\/11-7034-180","price":220.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Fine","offer_id":68055613276373,"sku":"\/11-7034-280","price":220.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Medium Fine","offer_id":68055613309141,"sku":"\/11-7034-380","price":220.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Medium","offer_id":68055613341909,"sku":"\/11-7034-480","price":220.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Broad","offer_id":68055613374677,"sku":"\/11-7034-680","price":220.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1717\/0621\/files\/11-7034-000_001-124x920.jpg?v=1793371601","url":"https:\/\/currenthomeny.mom\/products\/sailor-pro-gear-f3-fountain-pen-iriomote-cat-overseas-limited-edition","provider":"Yoseka Stationery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
