We designed and built this stein (22 oz) handle ... to hold up to your adventure, wherever it my lead you. Your Stil Handle is built with the high standards of sustainability and good work practices that Steel Leaf Designs infuses into every piece we build. We use high-grade materials, stainless steel, a low VOC thermoset polymer coating and more. We also have a small (16oz) version of these Stil Handles, check them out!
Care Instructions: Handle: We recommend washing your handle by hand with soap and water. Jar: Slip your jar out of the handle for washing in the dishwasher or by hand.
I've kind of been crushing hard on these mugs since I first saw them at the 2014 Vancouver Winter Brewfest. There are two size options, wide mouth pint jar, and wide mouth "22 oz" jar (pint and half). There are multiple handle options: industrial chain (in natural, red, pink, purple and textured black), locking carabiner, regular carabiner, metal, or leather/metal combo (with optional customization). The mugs come packaged as a complete set with canning jar, detachable handle, lid and ring.
Like any Pinterest-addict, I love repurposed Mason jars. While I have done metal welding in college, that's a bigger project than I currently want to undertake ;) I love that these Stil handled mugs help support local artists (and it saves me the trouble of making them myself!!!) They're nicely crafted, sturdy, and functional. Canning jars are made to last, and these handles compliment them nicely. They've got a certain rustic and home-made charm, with a modern element to them. The handles are quite secure on the jars, but it's not too difficult to remove them when it's time to wash them.
I've used mine for smoothies, beer, water, hot tea, and cocktails! It's an awesome multi-purpose mug. When I'm on the go, I like to throw on one of these Ball Wide Mouth Sip and Straw Lid sets. I love the 22oz size (really 24 oz)--that's a full bomber of beer in one mug! I also like to make a BIG green smoothie for breakfast, and this jar is a good size for it. I love using it for drinking water because it fits easily in my hand, and I seem to drink more water when it's in a clear cup because I can see how much water I've already had (as opposed to my opaque Starbucks cup with straw).
It is a little on the spendy side at $40, but it's a fairly unique product and other similar products are in a comparable price range.
