Now thats lovely work!Thought you might be interested in this guys.
I've got to admit it was inspired by similar designs by T1tch and Wayland but it was a good leather work learning exercise. The stitching is artificial sinue from the group buy and the additional leather loop at the back is for fitting to a caribina.

You could have had a look at this on the Mors' course I had it with me by the camp fire.
I have the oval in steel and aluminum plus the Vintage flask (thanks to Hoodoo). I really like the oval aluminum for a water bottle as it fits my camera backpack side mesh pocket very well and slips nicely in my Swiss gas mask camera bag too.
The flask is very very nice. Contents of mine is only Laphroaig though.
I think the red and blue oval stainless steel bottles are discontinued...so if you want those better snap them up now. They are not all that much heavier than the aluminum ones.
