A vacuum sleeve keeps liquids hot by stopping the escape of heat through three layers of protection (inner, vacuum, outer) and keeps liquids cold by not letting heat from outside enter the container, this achieved via double wall stainless steel.
Why a vacuum flask can keep drinks cold as well as hot?
The conduction is stopped with the glass material, the two containers in the vacuum flask stop the Convection and the shiny silver that is presented on the surface stops the radiation. Thus the structure of the vacuum flask stops the possibilities of heat or cold to enter in it.

How does a thermos flask maintain the temperature of liquid kept in it?
It is blown into a mould while the glass is molten – and formed so that there is a thin layer of space between the inside and outside walls. The air between the two layers is sucked out – creating a vacuum. Since heat cannot travel well through a vacuum, the liquid inside the flask stays hot (or cold) for a long time.
