Why is pewter used for hip flasks?
Pewter is often used for hip flasks as it leaves no hint of metallic taste as one sips from it. It also can be polished to a high sheen, making it a particularly eye-catching material for a flask. Browse 1stDibs to find a range of hip flasks from some of the world’s top boutiques on 1stDibs.
