I actually don't find the English sentence that odd.
Imagine you're going for a walk and you see somebody with the coolest umbrella ever. You poke your partner and say: "Wow, look at that umbrella! It is sooo cool. I want such an umbrella." You won't stop the person and buy their umbrella, you just want to find a similar one, probably even in a different color, but with the feature that got you interested in the first place.

Wow, that word order (a such umbrella) really stands out to me. Would the word order be the same for, say, 'as fine an umbrella'?
