The style is labelled "RSTCS," but unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a link to it on the Web (which is a shame, because I would buy it again if/when it needs replacement).

The closest I found was the Samsonite Manual Flat Compact Umbrella. You might wish to check its advertised dimensions to see if it fits the pocket on your B&R.

The tumi internal was/is also sub-optimal, had a tumi and compared them side by side, was an apple-orange comparison between the two competing TUMI and the BR still better tradeoff for how I travel and pack, but not best for that specific formfactor design IMHO.

I've stuffed socks in it, underwear, but these days settle on putting my vitamin box in it. Indeed surprised that BR continues to stick with it but can see it more now like the grill design of a car, it's signature and you keep it even though it is less than efficient
