I have a London Undercover in black with white/black fine houndstooth lining, think it’s a classic or city gent model, bought it years ago so they may have changed the names and they don’t do that lining now but loads to choose from, has a one piece wooden shaft and is certainly well made, would probably buy a more funky colour if buying again.
Full length, none of this folding nonsense for strutting around town. I did bend a strut in an epic storm but just bent it back, keep meaning to drop it off at the shop for a new strut to be fitted.
edit, it’s this one https://londonundercover.co.uk/products/black-and-white-houndstooth-classic-umbrella?taxon_id=57
The Skoda holder is brilliant until you have to use it and the brolly is soaking...it can't dry in that holder.
I've a work branded golf brolly that does seem to withstanding a decent blow, but I never use it. Partner does when she can be bothered to pack it in the car with her.
I've started using a hood, that seems to be transformative! Rain stays of my glasses far longer than when I didn't cover my head! Since going pretty bald, a good has proven to be a useful thing.
I'd really like someone to buy that Thrudark brolly and pair it with their stealth poncho thing - that'd be peak <<insert rude word here>>
I use an umbrella so I can still wear shorts and a t-shirt all winter
Doesn’t stop the wind, rain and cold blowing underneath and making everything from mid thigh cold and wet though.
Utterly useless on a bike as well.
I’ve got a number of different size umbrellas, but I never use them because they’re a royal pain in the ass, they blow all over the place, catch on overhanging branches and bushes, and if there’s a headwind, you can’t see where the hell you’re going!
And I’m back to wearing shorts, and a tee shirt, although I wear appropriate clothing over the top of my tee.
When I become king of the world, I will ban all umberalls!
Put your ****ing hood up and get that ****ing thing out of my head!!
Yep, brolly users should restirct themsleves to places without other people, or they should get a bloody good kicking.
Buy a proper coat or **** off and die!
^How childish you are.
