About the original
ShedRain is a fourth-generation Portland, Oregon umbrella maker founded in 1947 that supplies private-label umbrellas to most major U.S. department stores and operates its own WalkSafe line of high-visibility designs. The Supreme FW16 collaboration is a 54-inch auto open-and-close stick umbrella with a fiberglass frame and a canopy printed across the entire surface in 3M Scotchlite reflective material, with the word SUPREME repeated as the all-over graphic so the canopy lights up white under direct light at night. ShedRain's current commercial equivalent is the WALKSAFE Reflective Stick umbrella, which uses the same 3M Scotchlite canopy construction in a plain grey colorway.
About ShedRain
ShedRain is an American umbrella manufacturer founded in 1947 by Meyer Blauer, his brother Sol, and their uncles Barney Liebreich and Nathan Gold, who bought a small umbrella repair shop in Portland, Oregon. The company moved into manufacturing in downtown Portland around 1950 and remains family-operated, with Stan Blauer as CEO. ShedRain is the oldest umbrella manufacturer in the United States and the only one still running a domestic factory, producing wind-vented Vortex frames, the WindPro line, and clear-canopy bubble umbrellas, a category they expanded in the 1970s. The company also private-labels for outdoor and accessories brands. Supreme has collaborated with ShedRain on co-branded umbrellas in standard and bubble shapes.
