Review on American Flag Flask Stainless Included by Mark Sutovsky

I gave it four stars for durability just because I just received it and haven't had time to surpass it in service. The gift is very even. Comes in a very decent presentation box (no tags or stickers) and is beautifully wrapped in this rigid foam. The title expresses my thoughts on value. I knew it wasn't real leather before I bought it, but the faux leather with a picture (flag design in my case) looks really nice. May be better than real leather, may not rub/discolour as quickly. The only drawback I see in the missing care and cleaning instructions. Note: 1) Fill with clean/filtered tap water, check for leaks. (I didn't) 2) Pour out about half, shake vigorously, repeat several times. 3) Boil clean/filtered water and fill the flask. Leave until cool. [careful, very hot] 4) Pour into a clean glass (or measuring cup), smell and taste for odor or discoloration. 5) Repeat as needed (mine was clean and clear). Be careful with chlorine, lemon juice, vinegar or even dish soap. It's stainless steel, these products let the steel give off bad smells and don't really help unless you need to clean it after the old booze has dried and left marks.
