New poster here...
I can see that this is a discussion that has been held before but would appreciate up-to-date opinions. I've reached that time of life where quality is key, and am looking for a full size traditional gents umbrella. The options here in the UK seem to be between Fox, James Smith and Brigg but Id also be grateful for any other suggestions. I dont need the umbrella as a walking stick but am still considering the solid shaft as well as the metal tube.
Its not going to be a fashion item - it will be my regular umbrella on wet days. I live on the Sussex coast and commute into London, and I have a 15-20 minute walk at each end. Both of these walks are in areas where it can get really windy so the umbrella will need to be able to handle that. Also interested to hear about any after-sales customer service from the providers in case the umbrella needs to be repaired at some stage.
Thanks in advance
Steve
