Where plastic hides in hip flasks

The body is steel, copper, pewter or glass, and that part is settled. The cap is the question. A thin liner or O-ring seals the thread, and it is silicone, PTFE or rubber unless the maker says cork or metal on metal. Leather wraps are glued, stitched with nylon thread and sometimes topped with polyurethane. Some copper and steel flasks carry a lacquer or epoxy coating inside or out. Gift sets add a funnel, and the funnel is usually plastic.

What to check before you buy

  1. The cap seal: cork, a metal-on-metal fit, silicone, PTFE or rubber?
  2. The cap hinge or tether: steel or leather, or plastic?
  3. The lining: bare steel, tin or copper, or a lacquer or epoxy?
  4. The wrap: leather with a named finish, or leatherette and polyurethane?
  5. The stitching on the wrap: cotton or linen, or nylon?
  6. The funnel in the set: steel, or plastic?
