Parasols! More parasols!
Jilli, I seem to remember combat grade umbrellas or parasols coming up a few months ago--can you re-orient me?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
Jesse, I can see a nice slate blue like this [link] going well with white and dark gray.

I've seen stuff about self-defense with parasols, but I don't think I've seen any combat grade umbrellas or parasols. Hmmm, time to go searching.

Thinking harder, I remember a link from LeN about umbrellasols that you can stand on without breaking, etc, and you said you had one. But that's all my memory contains.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Combat grade umbrellas/parasols make me think of Amelia Peabody Emerson, from the mysteries by Elizabeth Peters. (I know, not helpful)

And the Parasol Protectorate, of course.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Wandering through our local Savers thrift store and spotted not one, but two tan trench coats with heavy fuzzy liners that fit! One was a London Fog and the other was a Stafford (Stanford?) For under $20! I got the Stafford because it was a skosh roomier. Yay, men's clothes! Yay, winter coat!
