Gentleman's folding automatic umbrella in grey marl is 'deployed' by the press of a sturdy button, followed by a slight shake &, boy, does it deploy! It opens with a very forthright snap & whoosh. Perfect for sudden downpours. Cut, made & finished by hand in London. The crook handle is scorched maple from Italy, beautiful. The canopy is poly cotton. Canopy diameter: 100cm or 39 inches. Length when folded: 45cm, 18 inches. A rather satisfactory British Winter essential matching precision engineering with the best of native craftsmanship.
