Hip Flask with Textured Finish

Stainless Steel Hip Flask with Textured Finish – 170 ml

History and Usage

Although flat bottles have been known since the 18th century, used by gentry and soldiers alike, their golden age arrived with the advent of Prohibition in the USA in the 1920s. They became a symbol of hidden resistance and elegance. Today, the hip flask is an indispensable accessory for re-enactors (especially for 19th and 20th-century periods), hikers, and gentlemen. The volume of 170 ml (approx. 6 fl oz) corresponds to about 6 large shots, which is just right for a shared sip to warm up or a toast at the mountain peak.

The cap is designed as a so-called captive top—the lid is attached to a movable arm. This is an invaluable feature, ensuring you never lose the cap in tall grass or snow, even when your fingers are numb with cold. The body made of stainless steel guarantees that the drink will not acquire a metallic taste and the vessel remains corrosion-resistant.

Caring for Your Flask

To ensure this accessory serves you for as long as possible and keeps looking like new, give it a little care:

• Rinse the flask thoroughly with warm water before first use.
• Do not leave alcohol inside for more than 3 days. Stainless steel is durable, but long-term storage of spirits can slightly alter the taste of the beverage.
• Empty it after every use, rinse, and let it dry open to prevent bacteria formation inside.
• Clean the surface only with water or mild soapy water. Avoid scouring pads and aggressive chemicals.
• Important warning: The flask is not suitable for acidic drinks (juices, fruit liqueurs) or carbonated beverages. Do not use it for hot drinks either; the shell is not insulated, and you could burn yourself.
