Dress With Style
Good lord, if all he drinks is Ballantines then really you'd wonder why you'd go to the bother of a 200 pound flask. Lace gloves for a gossoon? Plenty of serviceable 6oz steel and pewter flasks on the auction sites.All over the world wrote:My cousin recently got married and they just had a baby. Since he is an enthusiastic hunter and does not own a hip flask I wanted to buy him one which he'll be able to fill with some Ballantine's when he is out in the cold.
And get a large flask so that he can get the ginger ale in there too.cathach wrote:Good lord, if all he drinks is Ballantines then really you'd wonder why you'd go to the bother of a 200 pound flask.

All of his clothes were inherited from his father, cousins and so on, even his bespoke suits (which somehow he managed to have adjusted by a tailor to fit him so well that I always wonder whether the suit was made for him and not for a grandfather) which were not even made for him. The only expensive things he owns are a watch which he received as a gift and a rifle which he bought second hand. Other than that he rarely can afford to spend money. He is the perfect example of an impoverished aristocrat who still continues to live the same lifestyle as those before him yet without spending a penny. Ahh, I wish I'd inherited suits, and leather whips, and silver trays and riding boots...Oh, well my great great grandfather was a well known Master of Foxhounds. My cousin hunts on foot and with a rifle though, no need for a whip (Other than in raising his child perhaps? I'm kidding! Their use is decorative only.)!Costi wrote:The leather whips would have been useful, but I'm afraid it's too late now...

A hip flask is the only hunting accessory I can think of that he doesn't own.
