I use a Levenger International Pocket Briefcase for my wallet: http://www.levenger.com/Cases-15/Pocket-Briefcases-765.aspx.
A Field Notes-sized notebook fits perfectly inside along with business cards, credit cards, cash, etc. and a very slim pen. When closed, it's about the same size as a Pocket Moleskine.

For the pen, I use one of these that I got from Jetpens: http://www.jetpens.com/Ohto-Needle-Point...k-Body/pd/3195.

Ouch! I use a Levenger Bomber Jacket wallet too and I love it. The thought of turning it into a Slim Jim is devastating.

I like the Pocket Briefcases too.

My EDC pen is a brass bodied marketing pen with a nice slightly concave rubber grip, which takes Parker refills. So now it has a Fisher Space pen refill. I don't have to worry about what angle I hold the pen to write down (write up?) prices in stores, etc. It writes on pretty much anything, including slick thermal cash register receipts, and doesn't freeze in the winter. To write on, I carry 2-4 sheets of mini legal pad paper, folded twice. Creases on the two folds make it easy to rip off half or a quarter of a sheet, to give someone a name, phone number, a website, or a quick and dirty map or directions. Why do we carry pens and paper? The same reason we carry pocket knives and other tools: we're civilized people who like to be prepared.

I've had an Inka on my keychain for many years now.

I was issued one of those tactical clicker write in the rain pens. I am usually wary of anything hyped up as being "tactical" but it's solid metal, dosen't freeze or smudge, I nice to write with,and the dammed ink lasts forever. I have since purchased several of my own I like them so much.

I haven't come across a situation where I had to write upsidedown or underwater yet, but who knows.

I don't carry a specific EDC traditional ink based pen, however I do have a thin point Sharpie that IMO, is much more versatile then any ink pen and can be used to write on almost any type of object/material out there.

The Rite in the Rain pens I've seen are Fisher Cap-o-Matics, which is one of my very favorite pens for all the reasons you mention.

I've started to EDC 2 pens...Plus some in the car, desk, briefcase, etc.

I carry a Fisher Futura pen and pencil set in my pocket organizer. I also carry one of my Tuff Writer pens in pocket or clipped to my collar.
