If we accept the accusations of conservatism, then let them relate to the men’s umbrella. I think that this is the strictest men’s wardrobe accessory. And I really want it to stay that way for a long time. I do not support small comfortable umbrellas that fold up so that they can be placed in a briefcase. Such umbrellas are purely utilitarian, available in every tourist shop and cause a strong desire to throw them into the nearest trash can. They are useful, but only as much as a newspaper, which covers a gentleman from the rain, when he forgot his umbrella at home. Classic men’s umbrella is a cane with a curved handle. Initially, the fabric for umbrellas was black, and this is perhaps the perfect solution for a classic look, even if it contains bright colors. When choosing a brown or a gray umbrella for permanent use, it is better to make sure in advance that it doesn’t have Polka-dots or a large logo.
For customized umbrellas, you may choose a tree for the handle. The most exquisite trees are considered rosewood, mahogany or knotted pear. The master may add a brass ring to the handle with the engraved initials, yours or your loved one’s, on it. Another type of umbrella that is appropriate for a gentleman is a golf umbrella without a curved handle, with a straight handle. However, the guardians of the purity of the classical style in the city refuse it, leaving it for country walks.
Another advantage of the umbrella cane is that when there is no rain, you will always have something to lean on to look at the clear, sunny sky.
