In preparation for the opening of the new store in Vancouver, Goodfoot will be releasing five promo items for the city. The first item is this “Goodfoot Rained On My Parade” Umbrella. Only 100 were made.
Vancouver’s climate is unusually temperate by Canadian standards; The annual precipitation is very high at about 1,219 mm (48 in) . More than half of all winter days receive measureable precipitation. So we decided to produce this special umbrella for the people of this fine city and our fellow retailers in the area.
