 Old world style umbrella Mar 31, 2010
By Mitch10
"mitch10"
I love umbrellas (which is a good thing since I live in San Francisco.) This one is not only huge, but quite elegant too. Most large umbrellas have a straight handle which is a bit more comfortable to hold but doesn't make them good to walk with closed. The curved wood handle on this one make it very cane-like when closed and it hangs from an arm quite neatly too. Having 16 spokes rather than the now standard 8 makes it look like something from the 20's so this would be a great choice for taking to work or to the opera. I haven't had a chance to use it more than a couple of times but it seems to be well made and I expect it to last a few years.

Great umbrella Aug 14, 2010
By John B. Hudson
I have had one of these for so many years I have forgotten when I bought it. It finally needs replacing. It has been a great umbrella for my wife and me. We can both walk under it in the rain and not get wet. Even though it does not have wind vents or double canopy, it has handled well in wind. I also like the wood handle. It works well to hang over my arm when closed. So I am considering replacing it with a new one; it seems to be the same. It certainly is a classic.
Follow up: Our new umbrella arrived, and then it stopped raining! It was several weeks before the rain came again. We have used the new umbrella once, and if anything, it is better than the old one. Time will tell. I prefer the blue fabric to the black. This is a great umbrella!

Sturdy Nov 18, 2010
By L & M
Very solid umbrella. The extra ribs make it very sturdy in the wind, even though its large size could have made it susceptible to bowing or flipping. Feels like a true gentleman's umbrella.
By far the coolest feature is the teflon woven into the fabric. Rain beads up on the umbrella, and when you shake it off before going inside, it ends up almost completely dry.
The only small gripe would be that it should have some kind of a metal tip or cap at the end of the wooden point. I tend to use it like a cane when it's closed, and I think the wooden tip may get worn over time.

 Garbage Oct 11, 2011
By Camper643
This umbrella is a total waste of money. It literally broke the first time I tried to use it. The piece you press to open the umbrella just broke off!! I'd rate this umbrella zero stars if I could.

Very Poor Craftsmanship Jun 18, 2011
By srtrader70
"srtrader70"
I received the umbrella 6/16 and found it to be fantastic; literally less than 24 hours later, the wooden cap at the end of the umbrella cracked in half. It was not used as a cane or support, nor was it carried. I would expect this from a cheaper umbrella, but for the price of this piece, I expected a higher quality product.
