Anyone who has stayed in the UK will remember the heavy, cloudy skies and sudden rain showers. Knowing how to deal with the rain could be said to be a British gentleman's hobby. Now, the coming season of unsettled weather is, in a sense, the season when Japan is closest to the UK. We will introduce you to some famous British items that you can rely on to make your days as enjoyable as possible.
A smart, water-repellent nylon business backpack
On rainy days when your hands are full with an umbrella, a backpack is a useful item to keep your important things dry. However, backpacks with designs that are too sporty or unfashionable are not the best in terms of adult grooming. For those worried about what to bring to the rainy day bag, the water-repellent nylon daypack from Glenroyal, a long-established leather goods brand from the UK, is the perfect choice, with both functionality and a smart look. The flat design is also useful on rainy days when you want to minimize the amount of stuff sticking out from your body.

For rainy days, the all-weather Dainite sole is the best choice for leather shoes.
Joseph Cheaney is a long-established shoemaker representing the UK. Their sturdy British shoes can be worn without worry even on rainy days if you take good care of them. Among the many models available, we especially recommend leather Shoes with Dainite soles. Not only are they resistant to wear, but they also have a high grip on wet surfaces, making them ideal for walking on rainy days. Plain-toed shoes are the most versatile design, and can be worn with anything from dress to casual wear. They are a must-have pair of shoes to wear when you're in a pinch.
