Serious Understudy to the Übiquitous Furled Umbrella
The well-dressed Londoner almost invariably carries a furled umbrella, a fashion which was popularized by the Duke of Windsor, when Prince of Wales. But it has been noted recently that quite a large number of men have been chancing the always uncertain London weather and appearing with walking sticks instead of umbrellas. One of the reasons for this return to favour on the part of tho walking cane has been a sentimental one, for one of the largest London men’s shops has been fashioning sticks from the piles of old Waterloo Bridge. The result, besides being a memento of picturesque Loudon, also happens to be extremely smart, the ancient elm wood having a light, almost sandy appearance, which harmonizes very well with the popular browns of this season’s suits and hats.
