Personalised 6oz Hipflask with handstiched leather cover
A truly luxurious gift - high quality lead-free Pewter Hipflask made by Sheffield Pewter Craft Company, covered with a hand-stitched oak-tanned leather jacket. Free personalisation inlcuded.
Pewter - also known as the 4th precious metal, is an alloy of Tin ( 92 % ), Copper and Antimony, Pewter has been around since the beginning of the Bronze Age.
When it comes to drinking from a hip flask you want to really taste the alcohol and not the flask. Some other metals can give a slight metallic flavour as you sip your favourite drink, however one of the great benefits of pewter is it doesn’t leave a metallic taste in your mouth.
Pewter is also an excellent metal for helping maintain your chosen liquid at the right temperature ( something which is quite important when it comes to drinking a good whisky).
Leaving alcohol in your flask for more than a day or so will have an affect on the flavour so I would recommend drinking the contents or emptying back into the original bottle at the end of the day.
*Includes - funnel and gift box

Process:
The entire piece is built by hand from my workshop. The leather is measured and cut in order to incorporate the natural markings of the hide. The raw edges are bevelled and burnished using beeswax balm to form smooth strong edges that will wear naturally over time. I use the saddle stitch technique where 2 needles are used simultaneously with a single piece of thread. This creates a very strong bond and the stitch is unlikely to ever unravel.
What is Vegetable-Tanned Leather?
The ancient craft of naturally tanning leather is complex and fascinating. Only natural materials such as tree bark are used to tan the leather, a process which can take several months. Veg-tan leather is beautiful, often displaying the history of life through scars and imperfections. The material will develop a wonderful patina unique to each owner and after years become a treasured object.
