I don't think I've seen any combat grade umbrellas or parasols
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.

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.

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!

My ex boyfriend just bought Kaylee's parasol for me. I will probably never use it. And now I must keep it forever.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
