Well used to the rainy English weather, T&A umbrellas are built to battle the elements. This design boasts 10 ribs rather than the traditional eight for added strength, while the maple handle in classic crook shape is both resilient and sleek. This is a telescopic style; the frame is activated manually by the user. Whether you're a business man bustling to meetings around the city or a cavalier from the green and glorious countryside, this is a practical accessory created o last.
