Description
This hip flask carries the word SPITFIRE in bold black capitals across its brushed silver front, with two illustrations of the famous aircraft beneath it: one seen from above with its wings spread, and one in side profile, both in brown and green camouflage with red, white and blue roundels. Made from iron and steel, it holds 6oz, a sensible measure for a day out. It stands 11.5cm tall, 9cm wide and 2cm deep, a slim rectangular flask with softly rounded edges that sits flat in the hand. The screw cap is joined to the neck by a hinged arm, so it swings aside as you open it and stays with the flask.
We can see it tucked into an inside jacket pocket for a long country walk, a cold afternoon on the touchline or a day at an air show, where the design is sure to get people talking. Its flat profile and modest size mean it slips into a coat or a bag without adding bulk. As a present, it makes a thoughtful Father's Day gift, and with the Spitfire as its theme it has real character, so it looks as good resting on a desk or a shelf between outings.
The body has a smooth brushed finish that catches the light softly, and the back is plain brushed metal apart from a fine line of small print. The neck is threaded, the cap is knurled for a sure grip as you turn it closed, and a small roundel sits on top of the cap to match the front. We'd 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 well. Wrapped with a card and a bottle of their favourite spirit, it makes a gift that feels personal without any fuss.
