Maglia or Fox
Dude. This is a rabbit hole. You can get something nice from Totes or Gustbuster and it’ll be great. You can go to A. Fulton in London because they hold the royal warrant. Or you can go to Swain or Lockwood or James Smith & Sons and splash out for something custom. Go wild.
what do you want out of it?
protection from rain? portability?
Yah i would want it as a functional accessory for rain. Something smaller would be better for travel but i’m not opposed to a fuller size one. Just something i guess a little nicer and more fashionable.
Very pretty but holy smokes are those expensive. I guess i should have clarified something sub $100 haha
at sub-100 just get something from Repel imo
I bought a Blunt classic at around $100 and it was a splurge, but my biggest pet peeve for umbrellas is them not having coverage when it's windy, so I got one that's quite large and has huge wind resistance
but I also have other cheapo umbrellas
Thanks everyone great advice @Count0Interrupt those fulton ones are great just what i was looking for, unfortunately it basically be like double price to ship to the US. Do you know if they have a US retailer?
If you really want the best money can buy then go for Swaine Adney Brigg, but also imagine spending 600 bucks on an umbrella lmao. I have two stick umbrellas and a telescopic umbrella from fox which I love and blow every other umbrella I’ve used out of the water, but I’m pretty sure any umbrella that is “better than normal” will be about the same
You can get fox from domestic retailers like the Armoury (in NY) and Ben Silver as well
I don’t think there’s a direct US retailer
only to lose it
