May I offer a gender-based observation -- bra strap. I usually wear
a polo/knit shirt to fly so that I can turn the collar up so that the
shoulder harness doesn't annoy my neck. That means I can easily stash
a couple pens in the bra strap. And yes, I've dropped pens but there's
always a couple in the side pocket next to my knee as well as another
one at the bra strap.

For pens, I daisy-chain a bunch of rubber bands, with one end going
through the hole in a spring clip, and the other end is attached to a
pen by a strip of duct tape. I clip the pen to the pad/lapboard and
never lose it. A second one in the side pocket in case the pen runs
dry unexpectedly makes adequate backup.

For the neck rub (not in a good way), I've seen people who do long
distance road trips install a fleece pad that you position on the
shoulder strap. I bet you could find something in an auto-supply
store.

WalMart sells them for $3. Great for summer flying when I'm wearing a
T shirt with no collar. The harness strap rubs like the dickens
without it.
