The traditional cane umbrella, a must-have for the elegant man

The most traditional of umbrellas, the aptly named walking stick umbrella or "straight umbrella," is a hybrid accessory. A popular accessory among modern dandies, it serves as a walking stick when closed. Its simplicity and authenticity make it the ideal partner for men for whom elegance is a way of life.

Le Parapluie de Cherbourg has designed 3 models with a masculine spirit and ideal proportions for moving around in the rain with poise.

In this category of elegant umbrellas, we find the Le Ville , a men's cane umbrella with balanced proportions and an urban soul. Authentic, space-saving but comfortable, this umbrella has been a great classic for nearly four decades. It was the first to see the light of day in our Manufacture.

With great style, the Le Milord plays on sophistication, thanks to finishes studied down to the smallest detail. Lovers of beautiful things will appreciate the nobility of its materials, from the lambskin of its scrunchie to its Ruthenium finishes, including the wood species of its curved handle, available according to your preferences in Chestnut or Rush.

Our iconic model, the Antibourrasque , is your best friend for facing extraordinary weather conditions. A champion in all categories of wind resistance, designed to withstand gusts of up to 155 km/h, this model is the exclusive reference for those who like to be able to rely on their umbrella in all circumstances. Unstoppable for keeping its balance under raging skies, it is nonetheless refined and allows you to opt for a straight handle in Hornbeam wood, or a curved handle in chestnut.

The large umbrella for men, a model to suit your size

The ideal size of the umbrella varies depending on a man's height and build. To ensure optimal comfort regardless of your stature, Le Parapluie de Cherbourg has designed generously sized models with ideal proportions. They are impressive in size and large enough to accommodate a gentleman over 1.80 m tall, alone or with others.

Let's start with Le Pébroque, a large men's walking stick umbrella with a modern feel and luxurious finishes. It's one of those sturdy, space-saving models in a crowd, always ready to unfurl a generously sized canopy. You could almost say it has "a nice headroom": its 115 cm high beechwood pole ensures poise and presence, whether open or closed. Lambskin, chestnut wood and Palladium finishes give it just the right amount of refinement.

A partner for every challenge, the Le Sport model impresses with its large size, wind resistance (up to 140 km/h), and attention to detail. With a diameter of 115 cm, this large men's umbrella comfortably accommodates two people. Featuring a carbon steel pole and automatic opening, it opens with one hand to give you freedom of movement. It's up to you to choose whether you prefer an easy-to-use straight handle or a curved handle. It's the ideal umbrella when you want to combine refinement and sporty style.

Golfing friends (and others), the Le Golf walking stick umbrella helps you keep your mind at ease on the course, but also in the city. This very spacious men's golf umbrella offers a wide comfort zone (127 cm in diameter), a significant amount of space for playing quietly, sheltered from gusts of wind. Its straight walnut handle ensures a perfect grip and good maneuverability. For easy transport, it is compatible with trolley supports.

Featuring the same generous dimensions as its sporty counterpart, Le Golf, the Le Palace model features a curved reed handle and a wooden ground slap. Deeply elegant and understated, this oversized umbrella is a classic with impeccable finishes. For the most prestigious events, we love to unfurl the canopy of this exceptional model and reveal its luxurious details.

Men's umbrella, black or colored?

Gentlemen, know that the black men's umbrella still deserves its place in a tasteful wardrobe. Eternally classic, irresistibly elegant, the black color is a sensible choice to adopt for any occasion, from the least formal outings to the most formal events. Although not a color per se, this essential shade adorns all the men's umbrellas in our collection, without exception.

However, you should also know that a black umbrella for men is far from being a sine qua non, especially when it comes to expressing one's personality. Different shades offer multiple possibilities for subtly enhancing an outfit, thanks to a high-value colored accessory... Thus, Le Parapluie de Cherbourg has chosen to offer the canvases of its men's umbrellas in a palette of deep colors (Anthracite, Navy, Bordeaux, Brown, Khaki) or intense colors (Ocean, Red, English Green) suitable for men's wardrobes, among others. While remaining understated, these elegant shades are featured on each of our men's umbrella models.

The mixed Cherbourg umbrellas are available in a wide range of 21 colors.

Finally, we offer you the possibility of making your umbrella a unique and personalized accessory, by adding your initials embroidered tone on tone, or in contrast.
