The soleil losange is a fabulous colour, very fresh and lively.
I’m loving the madras mousseline , so happy to see it again....
Hermès seem to be exploring checks and stripes the past two seasons, the eyeliner 90cm silks have a similar jaunty vibe and texture.
Thank you! And I succumbed - the navy and green colorway is in the mail. Crikey!
Congrats on that one! I still haven seen one online and now we are in to Fall scarves...
This looks wonderful meta. I have to ask you as well as others, @papertiger , @Cookiefiend , @Holsby , and @tinsleypence, that have the madras mousseline, how you are "taming" the stiffness? I was able to order both CW's from my SA, and have only received CW02 thus far. CW01 to arrive on Monday. Regardless, after waiting so long for this format and design, I am concerned about how tricky this may be to wear. If I try in a cowboy style knot, the silk pops right up into my face since the material doesn't seem to want to lie flat. Have any of you found that as you wear it and use it that the stiffness fades a bit? Thank you, I hope to make one of the CW's work...I really love how they look on those who have it already! All of you look so effortlessly chic in them!Finally wearing this little one!
I'm afraid I'm not the best person to answer you as I literally only just wore this for the first time today. I actually love how it stays stiff for my simple bias knot. @papertiger wore hers as a cowboy knot, so perhaps she would be able to give you some insight.This looks wonderful meta.

It's true, everything is just right about these little moussie bandanas, and everyone that buys one wants the other. Looks great on you
I’ve only worn mine twice - both times in a bias fold - once tied up closer to my neck and once with it knotted towards the ends. I haven’t noticed it losing any body though, even after washing it!This looks wonderful meta.

I looooove how @Holsby has tied hers but haven’t figured it out yet... a moussie with enough oomph to carry a scarf ring! Amazing!

I just tie it loosely as a triangle (point to front, knot to back). This way it sits lower on the neck and is more relaxed. The 55 is too short to do a real cowboy
Thank you Meta, it really looks lovely on you!I'm afraid I'm not the best person to answer you as I literally only just wore this for the first time today.

Thank you Cookiefiend, I will have to keep playing with it to see if I shall keep it!
Thank you so much papertiger, I'll try a smaller knot at the back and see if I can get the drape I like.

I hope the stiffness always will remain. No stiffness - no ExLibris Madras.
Here two pictures - Taming with scarf ring and Taming with scarf ring and simple knot.
The scarf ring has some weight which will hold the scarf down and also it keeps the fabric gathered.

Straight fold with scarf ring. Four ends knot behind your neck.
Holsby, thank you so much for taking the time to show these examples. I will definitely experiment with my scarf rings to tame the "pouf" of the bandana. I do love the lightness of the fabric, so I hope I can make it work for me. Again, many thanks for your help!
