Red Arrows Jets Rectangular Iron Hip Flask 6oz - Silver

This brushed silver hip flask carries the Red Arrows across its front, with RED ARROWS printed in tall red letters above two of the team's red jets. One jet is seen from above with its wings spread, and the other flies in profile beneath it, ROYAL AIR FORCE along its side and a Union flag on its tail. The flask is made from iron and steel in a silver finish, rectangular with softly rounded edges, and holds 6oz. It measures 11.5cm tall, 9cm wide and 2cm deep.

We think it makes a fine Father's Day gift, the sort of present that gets kept and carried rather than forgotten in a drawer. At just 2cm deep it lies flat in an inside coat or jacket pocket, ready for a winter walk, a day out or a long afternoon in the cold, and 6oz is a sensible measure to carry. The printed jets give it far more character than a plain flask, and between outings it looks smart on a shelf or a desk, a bright nod to the red jets in formation.

The knurled screw cap is easy to grip and is fixed to the shoulder on a hinged arm, so it swings aside when you open the flask and stays with it rather than rolling away. Its top carries a red, white and blue roundel to match the jets. As general good practice, we rinse the inside with warm water after use and leave it to dry with the cap open, then wipe the outside with a soft damp cloth and dry it to keep the print and the brushed finish looking their best. Tucked into tissue paper with a card, it makes a ready gift for Father's Day morning.
