What’s the Difference between these two Umbrellas?

Tom Ford Umbrella – $640 vs.  Macy’s Umbrella – $13

If your answer was $628 then you win.

GQ’s new Fall Style Issue is out and they have something called a Trend Report online.  One of the “Trends” is called “Man Up.”  Basically it’s the classic masculine style you see a lot on AMC’s Mad Men.

Hoo-ray for the classic looking suit, casual clothes, and other stuff that’s permiating the market… but what’s so classic and masculine about dropping most of your house payment on an umbrella?

For that kind of cash you could get one of these, one of these, two pairs of these, a bunch of these, and this.

Or, you could have a $600 Tom Ford Umbrella.

Get the one from Macy’s.  It probably works just as well.
