London Undercover provide the ultimate protection from the rain for the modern gentleman, and this Sherlock Holmes monogram umbrella is a modern classic.

Keeping things simple and powerful, the umbrella features a black top with a Sherlock Holmes monogram on the underside – a piece of artwork that you mar recognise from the wall tiles of Baker Street tube station. This umbrella not only looks great, but it has a timeless appearance that resembles london in such a great way. With the weather being as wet as it has been recently, this is perfect umbrella weather.

Being part of the London Undercover Premium collection, this brolly features a tradition Beech wood shaft, natural Bamboo handle and a double layered parasol. The metal runner and tip cup, combined with the engraved metal plate on the handle, give the umbrella those traditional finishing touches of class. I’m a strong believer that every young gentleman should have a respectable black umbrella.

You can find this umbrella at the London Undercover webstore for £145.
