Kitbag | Hip flasks | FUEL BRITANNIA A spinal of London was set up by Iain Burton in 2001 as purveyors of high quality leather goods to fashion conscientious gentlemen and their lady-friends. Alongside Simon Cowell, Burton made his fortune as a record producer and was responsible for bringing the saucy 70s dance troupe, Hot Gossip, onto the BBC via Kenny Everett’s TV show - for this alone the middle-aged menfolk at MotorPunk HQ think the man deserves a ruddy knighthood! Now tipped to become Britain’s newest must-have designer label, the Aspinal leather-bound Union Jack hip flask is set to become a classic piece of English “boozermobilia.” Probably topped up with Beefeater Gin - the only distillers left in London. Price: £59.99 www.aspinaloflondon.com MAY THE SAUCE BE WITH YOU 1 970s sci-fi paraphernalia is always a firm favourite with us chaps of a certain age. R2-D2 himself always looked like he’d had a drink or two; he never took any lip off that camp gold robot and he was always up for a rumble with the Imperial droids. This 6oz liquor flask is wrapped in high grade vinyl and comes in other sizes too. Probably topped up with Mandalorian Tihaar spirit. Ewoks are mad for it! Price: $19.99 www.Etsy.com or £14.99 from eBay.co.uk 47
