Must have cup-holders.

Ah, you're going for the retro look.

I remember my father telling me about standing Officer of the Deck watch on the bridge of his Destroyer during the Korean War. They had thick walled, handle-less, coffee mugs. There were gimbaled mug holders so their coffee wouldn't spill when they put the mug down.

They were made to warm your hands.
