For years I've used a Fisher Space Pen in a leather, business card holder - goes in the front pocket. For paper, I found a leather, memo book cover at a police supply site - uses standard 3x5 spiral notepads. This has been the easiest to locate refills for and survives years of being sat on. Here are a couple of links: http://thewritersedge.com/fisher.cfm - http://www.sunriseleather.com/law/memo.asp#b903
