Man's cane umbrella

The cane umbrella for men has long been an essential part of an elegant wardrobe. Any girl will pay attention to a young man in a classic coat, shoes and a large umbrella in his hands in the pouring rain. This accessory looks very expensive and gives an even more masculine look to its owner.

The prototype of the umbrella appeared in ancient China, when people realized that it was necessary to invent and create some kind of protection for the head in rainy weather. Then it was invented to make special devices from palm leaves and bamboo, which cost a lot of money and were not available to everyone. The presence of an umbrella in a person could tell a lot about his capabilities and condition.

In the eighteenth century, during the reign of the great Peter I, this device appeared in Russia. At that time, the dome was made of leather, and the spokes were made from the bones of large fish. And this invention got its name thanks to the Dutch language, in which it means a canopy.

Gradually, the production of this accessory began to expand, and in the modern world an umbrella is available to everyone. There are two types of umbrellas: a compact folding umbrella and an elegant cane umbrella. It is the second option that will be discussed in this article.

The main task of any umbrella, of course, is to protect the head and clothing from rain. Umbrella cane is quite practical and sturdy model. Recently, due to the desire of manufacturers to save on manufacturing costs, folding umbrellas are made of thin aluminum and often buckle in strong winds. This will not happen with a cane. Strong and large knitting needles are made of stainless steel and firmly hold the entire structure. These models also have a large dome, which can easily fit three people under it and protect everyone from the rain. Another advantage of the cane is its appearance. Elegant, strict and classic, it is ideal for a work or formal look, without spoiling the overall impression.

The only downside to this model is its size. The umbrella is very long and large, it is not always convenient to carry it in your hands, and it will not fit in a bag or briefcase. It is the canes that are most often lost or simply forgotten in public places.

There are several types of folding umbrellas, but canes have only two: mechanical and automatic. The mechanical method is completely manual, that is, you will have to open and close the umbrella with your own hands without the help of buttons. To begin with, the cane is opened by opening the dome, and then the knitting needles are lifted up the rod to the end. The umbrella can also be folded back manually.

The automatic umbrella model is by far the most common and purchased.To open such an umbrella, just press the button and it will be set in the correct position. Canes with an automatic mechanism are closed manually, like all other models. Thanks to the large parts and high-quality workmanship, these actions are quite easy to do.

Modern manufacturers provide our choice with a wide range of models and a wide variety of colors. Thus, everyone can choose a cane to their taste.

As a rule, there are four types of handle material: wood, metal, plastic and rubber. Plastic handles turned out to be not very practical and resistant for such a large model as a cane, so it is quite difficult to meet it, but it is quite possible. Rubber handles are the most durable, they do not rub and retain their original appearance for a long time. Metal handles are made in various shapes, they are just as practical and beautiful, but they have one significant drawback - they are cold, and you have to wait a couple of minutes until your hand warms them.

As a rule, the shape of the cane handle is in the form of a hook. This view is quite comfortable, because during the rain it is convenient to hold it in your hands, and after the end it is enough to close the umbrella and hang it on your hand.

But in fact, the imagination of designers knows no bounds.

The handles of the cane can be in the form of the head of an animal, most often wild. Many wealthy people order canes with a metal handle in the shape of a cheetah or tiger head, there are handles in the shape of the head of dogs, cats, horses, and many others.

There are models with an ordinary, straight handle.

The most popular and most common handle is a wooden one.It is massive, prominent and gives the umbrella a more solid and rich appearance. But before choosing this model, you should thoroughly examine the handle for cracks and scuffs.

The frame of the cane umbrella is made of the most durable material used for the manufacture of this accessory, namely stainless steel. This material ensures the stability of the umbrella even in strong winds, as well as its durability.

The dome is the most important and prominent part of the umbrella. Depending on the color or material, it can play an important role in the overall look. The domes of the cane are always made of quality materials and tightly fit it.

The men's cane umbrella is the epitome of elegance, so it comes in a range of colours. Of course, the main shade is black, followed by dark blue, brown and gray. The color range of canes is very wide, but it is among men that basic, dark tones are popular.

As already mentioned, the frame, spokes and rod of this model are made of steel. But recently, fiberglass has been used for these parts to provide more lightness to the accessory.

As for the dome, it is made of the following materials: nylon, satin, pongee and polyester. Each of the above materials has its own characteristics and advantages. The most poor-quality of them is nylon, which is very short-lived. Polyester is more practical, but it dries for a very long time and can tear. One of the best materials for a dome is satin, which is quickly released from moisture, is quite durable and of very high quality.Thanks to modern technologies, such a material as pongee was created, it is he who is ideal for creating a high-quality cane, but at the same time the most expensive.

When choosing a men's cane umbrella, you should pay attention to some details. First of all, you need to check the strength of the handle, make sure that it does not stagger and does not have any damage or scuffs. Be sure to hold the umbrella in your hands to check the weight. It is also recommended to pay attention to the number of spokes, if there are few of them, then the fabric of the umbrella can sag, and if there are many, then it will be very heavy. The optimal number of knitting needles is sixteen.

Since the cane umbrella is an elegant and classic accessory in itself, it is recommended to wear it with similar clothes.

The optimal way, in which this model fits perfectly, will be the official one. Classic trousers with pleats, complemented by leather or suede pumps and a double-breasted wool coat. Many stylists advise to complement this look with a narrow-brimmed hat and men's leather gloves to match the rest of the accessories. In this form, the doors to the best restaurants and clubs of the city will be opened to you.

But there are other images with which you can wear an umbrella-cane. As a rule, men prefer to do without this accessory altogether, as it looks feminine, especially when folded. But the cane solves this problem, as it has a rather unique appearance that will fit into both the female and male image. Therefore, many young people can wear it not only with a classic coat, but also with jeans and a leather jacket. Of course, in this case, you should carefully select all the details, as well as shoes.Sneakers will look completely out of place, it is advisable to pick up something more classic.
