Umbrella-shopping in Ottawa: where to go for quality?

This morning's downpour has shown me that I need a proper umbrella, something classic. I'd like a black canopy, wooden handle, solid construction with lots of durability. Can anyone direct me to where I might go to get something like this?

It's not in Ottawa, but this is where the search for the perfect umbrella ends up.

Ohhhhh, god that looks tempting. I have half a mind to actually save up a bit of money and get one of the cheaper ones. I could never tell anyone how much I spent on it, but good god those are cool. You, sir, have read my mind.

Oh and if you want less expensive but considerably more effort in ordering and wait time, James Smith & Sons are regarded as being of similar quality.

I found these few images helpful too.
