Why do you always take an umbrella when you live in England?

Because the umbrella is a symbol of the English gentleman.

This country is considered as the most disgusting weather, with the best raincoats, windbreakers and umbrellas in the world. In order not to get wet by the rain, umbrellas have become one of the necessary items for British people to travel every day. But for the British who are famous for their manners, a beautiful umbrella is not only a shelter, but also a symbol of status and taste. Compared with Oxford shoes, suits and other tough and intellectual costumes in universities, the gentleman attribute of umbrellas is originally aimed at women. When the rainstorm is pouring down, the umbrella of an English gentleman should also be politely propped up by a lady. Over time, playing an umbrella has become a good quality and an essential moral requirement for a gentleman. Slowly, umbrellas became synonymous with English gentlemen.

The real gentleman parasol is a hand-made long-handled umbrella, which is not only unparalleled, but also more advanced and beautiful. Gentlemen are used to using umbrellas as crutches. They look elegant and solemn, more conspicuous than cuffs and scarves. Therefore, Britain has always retained the etiquette of a gentleman going out with an umbrella. Later, wearing a bowler hat and holding an umbrella became the traditional dress of English gentlemen. A good umbrella can not only be used for a lifetime, but also symbolizes noble taste. Umbrella is not only a must-have item for men, but also can be used to keep out the sun and rain when women travel alone. Handmade umbrellas all pursue unique personality, and the subtle differences in the manufacturing process of each umbrella make it a unique symbol of nobility.

A long time ago, the British royal family would customize umbrellas according to their hobbies and physical characteristics, which could show their identity and unique characteristics. Gentlemen have an unwritten rule: the more natural, the more expensive. So the earliest top umbrella only used satin as the umbrella cover. The smooth umbrella cover is not only beautiful and high-quality, but also the high-density fabric can closely isolate the rain. Of course, the umbrella handle is also made of natural precious wood.
