Groomsman Stag Emblem Flask

Six ounces of stainless steel in a leatherette wrap, which is the size that sits flat in an inside jacket pocket instead of printing through it. The stag emblem is laser-engraved rather than printed, so it wears in rather than off — the mark is cut into the surface and will not lift at the edges the way a transfer does after a season of being carried.

Three cover colours: rawhide, grey and dark brown. The rawhide reads warmest against a tan or grey suit; the dark brown all but disappears against navy.

It is a groomsman gift that gets carried rather than shelved, which is more than can be said for most of them — and it holds up as a gift outside the wedding, for a father, a brother or a groomsman who would find anything engraved with a date faintly embarrassing.

Rinse by hand and leave it open to dry. A sealed flask keeps the smell of whatever was in it last.
