This is a long umbrella from Fox Umbrellas. The clasp is gold. Most current models have silver stainless steel clasps, but this one has a rare gold clasp. I have a few gold and silver ones, but the gold ones really stand out. The slender, cane-like silhouette, typical of Fox, is perfect for a suit. If you usually use vinyl umbrellas, why not take this opportunity to try one? Please ask any questions you may have before purchasing. It is not new. Unlike Japanese brands like Maehara, this is a stylish, slender umbrella, typical of the British style. Such umbrellas were once a necessity for British gentlemen. They would always carry them, even when it wasn't raining, as a substitute for a cane, haha. Once you hold one, you'll be surprised at how different it is from your usual umbrella, from the shape to the sound of the rain. It's a very refreshing experience. I'm a bit of a rain man, so I used to buy a Fox umbrella every year and enjoy the rainy and snowy seasons.
