A Glimpse into History
The evolution of the hip flask reached its peak in the 18th century, evolving from the bulkier canteens used by soldiers and travelers. Its iconic kidney shape was specifically designed to contour to the wearer's hip or thigh, making it easy to conceal. During the Prohibition era in the 1920s, the flask became a symbol of defiance and ingenuity. Leather-wrapped versions were particularly prized by hunters and outdoorsmen, as the leather dampened the sound of metal clinking against buttons or gear, allowing for a silent approach in the woods.
Care and Maintenance
To ensure your flask lasts a lifetime and your spirits stay fresh, follow these guidelines:
- Before the first use, rinse the interior with warm water and a drop of mild detergent.
- The flask is designed for straight spirits. Avoid filling it with sugary liqueurs, carbonated drinks, or acidic juices, as these can lead to fermentation or residue buildup.
- Do not leave alcohol in the flask for more than 3 days. Empty and air-dry after each use.
- The leather exterior should be kept away from excessive moisture. If it gets wet, let it dry naturally at room temperature.
- Never wash this product in a dishwasher and avoid harsh chemical cleaners.
