Smathers & Branson Flask

Because the exterior is hand-stitched cotton, it is best to spot clean it gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging the flask in water or putting it in the dishwasher, as this will damage the needlepoint and the adhesive.

Yes, the rust-proof metal construction is designed to be food-safe and suitable for standard spirits like whiskey, bourbon, or vodka. We recommend rinsing the interior with warm water before its first use to ensure it is clean.

Actually, the opposite is true. The textured needlepoint provides a tactile, non-slip grip that feels more secure in your hand than a standard polished metal flask, especially if the metal gets cold or condensation forms.

This flask holds 6 ounces of liquid, which is the standard size for a pocket flask. It is compact enough to fit comfortably in a jacket pocket or a small bag without adding significant bulk.

It is best not to store spirits in the flask for more than a few days. Alcohol can eventually pick up a metallic taste if left in contact with the container for extended periods, and the needlepoint exterior is not designed for long-term storage.
