Loyal Stricklin Aviator Mug

Those mason jars might look pretty all lined up on your shelves, but when it you actually use them for hot beverages, sometimes you have to wait a few minutes before the glass is cool enough to touch. Alabama-based artisan Michael Stricklin devised a way to negate the waiting time with his Loyal Stricklin Aviator Mug. Each mug is assembled by hand from soft, rich Horween Chromexcel leather that can be easily removed for cleaning. To add to the rustic appeal, when the jar is filled with your favourite brew, the heat softens the leather so that an earthy scent emanates.
