Pewter Hip Flasks with Captive Top

Pewter Hip Flasks with Captive Top

Captive top pewter hip flasks are the evolution from the traditional top hip flask. For the concerned drinker who is not sure whether they can be trusted to keep hold of their cap, these captive arm pewter flasks offer the safer option.

The caps of these beautiful pewter hip flasks are attached via an arm also known as a ‘captive top’. When you unscrew the cap the arm swings up and away from the flask taking the cap and enabling you to drink your favourite tipple without the threat of losing your top.

When looking to purchase hip flasks many people look to this simple but effective design as the threat of losing the top when a little tipsy drives them to make things easier. This is really a personal preference, naturally the biggest benefit of this style of hip flask is the cap remaining with the flask at all times, for some this makes the choice a simple one.

With the advent of adding the cap to the flask via the captive top new cheaper stainless steel hip flasks became popular but when it comes to both style and elegance the pewter hip flask will always win hands down against its cheaper steel brother.
