Yes. Stanley has another, more expensive line of these thermos bottles

That's a good idea. I found some with nearly the same dimensions on Aliexpress. I'll let you know if it holds without the threading.

Stanley has a line they used to call the Master series, now called the Forge Series. Stainless steel cup with silicone "top" (bottom of cup so that it doesn't scuff, top when screwed on).
Expensive when new from Stanley something to the tune of $75, or $50 at a Marshalls/ TJMaxx store. But the walls are thicker, the cup is stainless. And the handle is welded and solid, not plastic affixed with clips

Apparently, both lines still exist. There's 1.3L for both and 740ml for Forge.

Had a Forge in bronze in my hand the other day at a Marshall's and it was 50 bucks THERE. I did not get it because I recently got a classic, in taupe with a trout printed on it. Had I seen the Forge, it would have been a toss up. The Firge also has 1.4L if I am not wrong. This one was a big one. Maybe I go back after payday

Just picked up the smaller, stainless Stanley Forge. It is a shorter, wide mouth "food jar" 740ml or so. Well made but I could not justify the expense for the 1.4l. Maybe another time.
Correction: this is 709 ml

On another note...I've had the regular 1liter for a while but it is a light brown/grey with a trout print on it. Same as yours in size and design, cap has plastic liner. I noticed that our stoppers are also plastic. So, while having the all-steel cap/cup is good, just realize the coffee is held in the carafe with a stopper made of the same plastic as the liner of the original cup, and in contact with the stopper for hours.
Forge edition has a stainless bottom cap in the stopper, so that every surface below the gasket and the cup are all stainless and your coffee never touches plastic. I'll get some pictures up

According to the "I have a question..." part of the Stanley 1913 website, all plastics that will be contact surfaces are BPA-free polypropylene and all products are FDA approved food grade. So if we believe that, it doesn't really matter except for the aesthetics and weight.
...and that Forge has better heat retention. 5 to 10 degrees.

At left, a new (within the past year) Stanley Classic vacuum thermal bottle, 1.1qt/ 1 liter, light brown with trout print. Plastic lined cup and plastic stopper, all BPA free. It even says so on the bottom of the bottle. Clip-hinged plastic handle.
At right, a brand new 24 oz (709ml) Stanley, Forge Edition Food Jar. All stainless, excluding the stopper, but the contact surface of the stopper is stainless. Solid handle with plastic or silicone cover.
Love these things. I'll be looking for the Stanley pour-over coffee or French Press coffee maker next, for camping. I just wish they were made in USA. Seems to me, for the price of the Forge Edition, those should be.

That's a good collection there. I too have a few good all stainless Stanley's. Love them, but by far my favorite has always been my old Union Mfg Uno-Vac, even if its a less superior product. I think it's more attachment than anything though now days. I don't use it much anymore.
