Description
This brown hip flask wears a dry little joke on its front: the words "Call Me Old-Fashioned", printed in dark lettering above a slim decorative rule. It is a neat rectangular flask with a brown wrap around its body, edged in orange stitching, and a shiny finish at the shoulders and the base. We like the way the plain wrap lets the lettering do the talking. It holds 6oz, a sensible measure for a day out, and the front measures 11.7cm on its longer side and 9.3cm on its shorter, with a depth of just 2.6cm.
At 2.6cm deep it lies flat in an inside jacket pocket, a coat pocket or a day bag, so it is easy company on country walks, fishing trips and picnics, on the touchline on a cold Saturday or round the bonfire in November. The printed words are a nod to the classic whisky cocktail of the same name, and a wink at anyone who still likes things done the traditional way. That makes it a fond gift for anyone who enjoys a good dram, and between outings it looks just as at home on a drinks trolley or a study shelf.
A screw cap closes the neck. It is held on a small hinged arm, so it stays with the flask while you pour, and a little funnel comes with it, sitting in the neck to make filling from a bottle far easier. For everyday care, we would wipe the outside with a soft damp cloth and dry it straight away, then rinse the inside with warm water after use and leave the cap open so it dries through. Fill it with a favourite spirit before you wrap it, add a short note, and it is a gift ready to raise a toast the moment it is opened.
