MIL-TEC® 6.oz OD Flask

This is not just a flask—it is a surreptitious container for the untold gallons of self-medication we all may very well need; a monument to the little choice we have to lessen that unbearable weight of true freedom. A simple and classic design we have all seen time and time again, where every curve obeys a logic that seems to promise meaning, it stands as a contradiction: functional, yes—but never sufficient. 

You do not choose this flask lightly. You condemn yourself to it, as Sartre might say, because to choose at all is to confront the agony of infinite possibilities. The cold steel is not merely cold—it is your own finitude, your facticity (being in itself). And yet, you are free, terrifyingly so. Can you really say you have chosen to buy this flask? Were you not condemned to this site, this listing, by abstruse actions and forces beyond your comprehension? Will using this device do anything other than to numb you to the fact that you, your person, your very being, can never be apprehended by the other as anything greater than an object; your consciousness stumbling drunkenly away from the other's gaze. Ashamed that to truly grasp the reins of freedom is fantasy.

Take a drink.

Curious About Sizing?

Given the massive variety of clothing we carry, a standard sizing guide is incredibly helpful for customers seeking the best fit.

Please understand that surplus varies widely in fit and cut and this sizing chart is general advice rather than tailor-level fitting.

Nearly every military has different sizing charts and schemes, which is why we've taken the time to put together this brief tutorial.

 

Jacket & Shirt Sizing

In absence of an established military size chart, we measure each jacket or shirt from armpit to armpit to get a rough idea of how it fits. If a garment is between sizes, we mark it one size down. For example, if a shirt measures 19.75" from pit to pit, it is marked as a small rather than medium.

To measure pit to pit, close up your shirt or jacket and measure from armpit to armpit. 

This is our measurement guide that we use to measure garments without an existing military size chart:

14"-15" PtP = XXS

16-17" PtP = Extra Small

18"-19" PtP = Small

20-21" PtP = Medium

22-23" PtP = Large

24-25" PtP = Extra Large

26-27" PtP = XXL

28-29" PtP = 3XL

Pant Sizing

We typically convert pants to US waist and inseam sizes. If a pair of pants is between sizes, we mark it one size down. For example, if a pair of pants measures as a 33 waist, it is marked as a 32 waist.

To take these measurements we lay a pair of pants flat on the ground. We then measure across the waist and double the measurement. For example, if a pair of pants measures 16" across the waist it will fit a US 32 waist.

To determine inseam we measure from the crotch seam to the bottom of the cuff. For example, it a pair of pants measures 30" from the crotch seam to the bottom of the cuff we will list it as a 30 inseam or 30L.
