just looked on the stw shop section and there doesnt seem to be one for sale any more.

i read captive tops are better, and a stw logo would have been ideal, but anything bike/retro/punk/classic/classy stylee would be interesting. anything considered tho.

anything to recommend?

thanks

Mine came from... Debenhams or BHS or one of those big department stores I think. Captive lid and the finish is some sort of faux leather affair rather than bare metal so it's not as cold in your pocket.

I have the Stanley one

Looks very retro, captive lid, and it's pretty big... You notice it when you've had a whole hip flask!

I have a fair number of "traditional" metal hip flasks but I much prefer [url= http://www.backpackinglight.co.uk/hydration/PD104.html ]this type[/url] as they weigh bugger all and can be rolled up when empty, or for the alcoholics amongst us [url= http://www.backpackinglight.co.uk/hydration/PD105.html ]this is more suitable[/url]

John Lewis currently sell a few different ones from the English Pewter Company. Quite a recent addition to their range according to Celia. I got a 6oz one with a plain finish, part polished part brushed, and a captive lid plus little funnel. There was also a nice pewter and brass one in the shape of a shotgun cartridge - not as naff as that possibly sounds, it was quite nice.

I've got a brand new STW one which I received when I subscribed. As a teetotaler, it's not of any use to me, so I could pass it on. I'd just need to find it, and I'm going to be busy for the next few days, but feel free to PM or email me if you're interested.
