I was looking for a decent "thermos" which of course is a trade name that gets used to describe every insulated vessel. In the good old days there were a handful of options, the old rugged standby "Thermos" brand and these bad boys by Stanley. A lot of hard working folks hauled their coffee to work with them in one of these. When I found this while browsing though Duluth and I just happened to have a 40% off coupon, I had to get it. It resolved my problem. Love it. It's rugged and it works. I was out in the field hunting this morning enjoying a piping hot cup of coffee and at the end of today I still had piping hot coffee in this bottle.

I have wanted one of these Stanley thermos for years but felt they looked too "rugged." The metallic jewel tone colors on this one are neutral, very classy and way more beautiful than the photo. This thermos keeps coffee hot on a long daily commute from morning into the evening, and ice water cold for even longer. This thermos is very high quality, easy to clean, and would make for a very nice gift to take to the office, camping, or hiking. I get compliments on it frequently for how unique it looks. I bought it as a birthday gift for myself, and now everyone wants to use it!

It's not a smooth blue paint. The body of the thermos (part in blue) is made in "military" style. You can't see it in the picture. It came as a surprise to me. Other than: that, it's a great thing.

I ordered these custom engraved Stanly thermoses for the groomsmen in my wedding. I was able to quickly and easily choose what I wanted the custom engravings to say, and I was even able to play around with the font type. I did not request a mock-up of what they would like, but I received a picture by email the next day. The text was much smaller than I had imagined, compared to the size of the thermos. I replied back and they quickly emailed me a second mock-up picture that was perfect. They arrived by mail faster than I was expecting, and they looked great! My groomsmen were very happy with them and kept asking where I got them from.
