The best things fathers leave behind aren't things, they're lessons. This Father's Day, we're celebrating more than dads. We're celebrating the knowledge they pass down. SHED RAIN was built by fathers, sons, and grandfathers who dedicated their lives to understanding one simple product: the umbrella. Our CEO, Jeff Blauer, grew up learning the business from his father Stan Blauer and grandfather, Meyer Blauer. The Stratus Collection was his opportunity to take everything they taught him, from craftsmanship and materials to the smallest construction details, and create the ultimate expression of that expertise. Each Stratus umbrella is built from more than 250 individual components, a reflection of the belief that quality is found in the details. In a world of disposable products, there's something special about creating something designed to last. And there's something even more special about carrying forward the lessons of the generations who came before you. This video is a behind-the-scenes look at the craftsmanship, passion, and family legacy behind SHED RAIN's most premium collection. Happy Almost Father's Day to all the dads, mentors, and teachers who pass their knowledge on to the next generation. #FathersDay #FamilyBusiness #Leadership #Craftsmanship #ProductDesign #BrandBuilding #SHEDRAIN #MadeToLast #Legacy #Umbrella

Umbrellas have always been more than just weather protection. They’ve been fashion statements, cultural symbols, and reflections of innovation through every decade. In our newest Youtube video, SHED RAIN Chairman Stan Blauer and his grandson, Ben Blauer, walk through the evolution of umbrella design, from elegant ruffled trim umbrellas to ultra-slim modern silhouettes, and share how nearly 80 years of craftsmanship helped shape one of the most trusted umbrella brands in the world. As a fourth-generation family business founded in 1947, SHED RAIN has witnessed firsthand how fashion, function, and engineering continue to evolve together. What may seem like a simple accessory has a surprisingly rich history rooted in style, culture, and problem-solving design. It’s a special look into the legacy, innovation, and family behind the umbrellas.

The best products don’t start with trends. They start with real consumer problems. That idea has guided SHED RAIN for nearly 80 years. We’re launching a new video series featuring our President & CEO, Jeff Blauer, speaking directly to consumers about the passion, expertise, innovation, and problem-solving that goes into building solution-based products from the ground up. Every SHED RAIN product begins with one goal: creating better weather protection that genuinely improves life outdoors. As one of the largest umbrella brands in the U.S. and a fourth-generation family business, we’re proud to continue pushing this category forward through invention, engineering, and consumer-first thinking. Excited to share more conversations around product innovation, weather expertise, outdoor living, and what it really takes to build products people trust.
