prospecting in Mexico. His original hat also included a
mosquito net attached to the canopy. Patten moved to Seattle in the 1890s and was dubbed the
Umbrella Man. He then became a repairman for umbrellas, and inspired a cartoon from
John Hager, depicting Robert Patten with his umbrella hat.

Today, the umbrella hat has advanced considerably. It is often associated as a cheap and comical novelty item, but it can be used to shield a person against rain or sunshine hands-free. Umbrella Hats are particularly useful to wheelchair users who need the use of both hands in the rain. It is also useful for gardeners, cyclists, walkers, shoppers, hunters, fishers, political canvassers and general manual laborers.
