When it rains, it pours. With that in mind, a good umbrella is an essential investment and, as anybody who has had the misfortune of suffering a storm-damaged umbrella in the midst of said storm will attest, can make a world of difference in foul weather.
Thus, spending time acquiring an umbrella that will keep you dry on a wet day or keep you shaded on a sunny day is time well spent. There is a great multitude of umbrellas available, however, some brands and makers have carved out a particular reputation as outstanding.
The go-to list of preferred umbrella makers for the discerning gentleman.

Le Parapluie de Cherbourg (The Cherbourg Umbrella) is a French umbrella manufacturer that was founded in 1986 by Jean-Pierre Yvon. The company is known for its high-quality, handcrafted umbrellas. Descended from a long-line of umbrella craftsmen who helped shape Cherbourg as a global centre for that particular trade, he named his business for the famous movie from the 1960s: ‘The Umbrellas of Cherbourg’.
