Abstract: A holder for securing a writing implement to a worn article is described. The holder includes a magnet fixed with the worn article and a magnetically-attractive base having a lower surface, an upper surface, and a peripheral edge. The upper surface includes two slots therein. The holder also includes a clamp portion having two ends adapted to engage the two slots of the upper surface of the base, and an elastomeric band securing the clamp portion to the slots of the upper surface of the base that retains the writing implement. The writing implement may be inserted between the clamp piece and the base, thereby pushing the ends of the clamp portion away from, but not completely out of, the slots of the upper surface of the base. The base, writing implement, clamp portion, and elastic band are magnetically attachable to the worn article with the magnet.
