When I was a child I could never understand the point of Umbrellas. I actually enjoyed feeling the heavy drops of rain hit the top of my head with the splashes slowly trickling down my cheek. In fact I still couldn't see the point of them as a young man in my early twenties - who needed to worry about such an unusual accessory when you had a hood?
However as I steadily approach the completion of my third decade, I find that my tastes mature and objects that initially seemed unnecessary can sometimes fill my life with sheer Joy. Zoltar The Magnificent is perhaps the best example of this. Many of you will probably be familiar with this chaps magical powers in the legendary 80's film Big, transforming a short pre pubescent lad into a fresh faced Tom Hanks. Zoltar The Magnificent it seems has many other skills and has been producing some pretty exciting cloth aimed for the modern dandy and words cannot simply describe my excitement when I was presented with one of their fine Umbrellas. Garishly bright and plastered with their signature skull pattern it's left me wanting rainy days. It even has a wooden handle which gives the whole thing an heir of perfect street nobility. By all accounts they have been extremely popular and sadly like most good things have only been made in limited supplies so go and visit their store without delay if you'd like to get your hands on one.
