Hip Flask Buying Guide

What is a Hip Flask?

A hip flask is used to carry liquor discreetly with you. Designed to be a convenient size to pop into the pocket of your coat or trousers without being visible, traditionally they were made from either glass, silver or pewter. Today they are more often made from stainless steel or plastic, and many flasks feature captive tops which prevent the user from losing the lid when it is opened. Typically, hip flasks are contoured for a natural fit against the thigh or hip when carried in the pocket, and they are available in a range of shapes with the most popular sizes being 2.5, 4 and 8 ounces in capacity.

Uses

Usually, it is used to carry small amounts of liquor into places where it would be inappropriate to bring a full bottle of alcohol. Although it is possible to use it to carry any kind of drink, some liquids may cause rusting so you should take care.

Types

While many hip flasks share similar features, there are several kinds available for purchase. Before you make a decision about which is the right design for you, you should consider what type you are looking for and what you may use it for. It is even possible to engrave most types of flask if you are planning on giving it as a gift for a special occasion.

Vintage or Antique

A vintage or antique flask is an ideal gift, especially if there is an interesting history behind the piece. Usually, a vintage flask will be a collector’s item and will, therefore, be more expensive. An antique flask may also not be suitable for actual use, although it will be an impressive conversation piece.

Stainless Steel

The majority of contemporary hip flasks are manufactured from stainless steel. Some feature an engraving or design, while others are simply plain.

Leather

Several modern hip flasks are encased in leather with stainless steel insides. Sometimes, the leather covering encompasses the majority of the flask, while in other cases, it is just a part of the overall design.

Silver

Historically, hip flasks were made from silver as it is a non-reactive material that will not flavor or taint the liquor. However, today, it is more difficult to purchase a product made from pure silver.

Pewter

Although it is still possible to find hip flasks that are made out of pewter, they are not as widely available as they once were and therefore many are now collector’s items.

Gold

While you will not find a hip flask made entirely of gold, you will frequently find gold-plated products that give an opulent and decadent look.

Shapes

When buying a hip flask, you need to be sure you’re buying the right shape to meet your needs. Here are some of the most common shapes available:

Kidney(Hip) – this is the traditional shape that the majority of people associate with hip flasks. This type of flask has square corners and a curved body to fit more comfortably against the thigh or hip, and will typically hold around 6oz of liquor.

Pocket – designed to fit easily into a pocket, this style of flask has rounded corners and a flatter body, most commonly holding 4 or 6oz.

Top Pocket – a top pocket flask is a smaller and narrower style of the pocket canteen. As it is designed to fit in a small top pocket, it only holds around 3oz.

Round Flask – featuring a round shape instead of a square one, this type of flask fits comfortably in a purse or pocket.

Purse – designed for women to carry easily in their purse, this style of flask is shaped similarly to a hip flask but usually only holds about 1 to 3oz of liquor and has a narrower profile.

Special Shaped – it is possible to find flasks that have been designed in a fun or novelty shape. These are an excellent choice for a gift or to commemorate a special event.

Maintenance

Liquor should only be left inside a canteen for a maximum of three days as after that time, it will not taste at its best due to changes in temperature and exposure to the air. Alcohol may also cause rusting and damage to a flask if it is allowed to remain inside for more than a couple of days. Flasks should be regularly cleaned, however, the narrow opening can make this challenging, and a bottle brush is a good idea to scrub the inside effectively.

You should never use soap when cleaning the inside of your flask as a residue may be left behind, and you should never put it into the dishwasher unless it states clearly that it is dishwasher safe. Lemon juice, vinegar and baking soda are three products that work well to clean inside your hip flask, however, you should take care to rinse it out completely and leave it upside down so that it all of the liquid will drain out and it will dry completely. If you only put one type of alcohol into your flask and you are the only person who has drunk from it, you can simply use hot water to clean it effectively.

History

For generations, people have looked for discreet and simple ways to carry their alcohol with them. In the medieval period, alcohol was often carried around in gutted fruit, while in the 18th century, ladies would often bring alcohol onto British warships inside flasks manufactured from pig bladders. It was not until the 18th century that the gentry started to use hip flasks that are similar in design to those found today, and the Victorian era saw the peak of their popularity, with hip flasks even being outlawed in many areas of America during the prohibition. While the popularity of these products has somewhat declined, antique pieces are now collector’s items.
