They look better 'full-length' IMO
Agree 💯 IMO, they look too short on the model; like she has outgrown her pants
Happy to report that I have joined the tuxedo jacket club 
Got a size 34 which was almost a perfect fit, the in-house tailor will shorten the sleeves and make a few tweaks to the armhole area at the same time. I was afraid that shortening the sleeves would spoil the proportion vs the jacket length for me as not only am I short (5’ 2” on a good day) I also have shorter arms. But thankfully not so as I do love the jacket for its length. And I agree with everyone that the price point is really the chef’s kiss here!
I also got the “cropped” (not) pant in Gris, after trying the Rose Bubinga which is a nice colour but season limited.

Hello Beauties, I need your opinion please:
Is this jacket green or blue?
I don’t know what it looks for me.
Do you think this would be appropriate for someone vibrant autumn?
As for the light leather one, does anyone have a jacket in that color? Is it very high maintenance? I am worried because I got color transfer in three bags in less than a year, and they weren’t even that light.
For those that have colored equestrian jackets, do you wear them often? I don’t have one yet, so not sure if I should wait for brown or get this green (if green), if blue it is not for me.
Thank you so much ❤️

@Angiebbb that’d a beautiful color! I think it reads to me as a teal color and like many H colors looks like it is a chameleon depending on lighting based on your two images. I don’t personally dress based on color palette styling (I’m afraid of feeling biased against any items I already have that don’t work haha but that’s a me problem). Based on my google search it looks like that teal or “peacock blue” tone would be beautiful for someone with vibrant autumn color palette.
I don’t have the light colored equestrian but for what’s it’s worth, I do have the a light beige colored calf skin jacket. I just don’t wear dark colored denim with it. But that being said, if I’d did wear dark denim jeans, I would think the color transfer would mostly be on the inside bottom of the jacket. Otherwise my SA told me linen or cotton fabrics shouldn’t transfer. Also, @880 has given sage advice when I was considering my light colored jacket - they’re not for practicality, they’re amazing fantasy pieces! Lol. I think if the light colored or the teal doesn’t make your heart sing, I think that rust brown is very beautiful and you should wait for that one. It may make you feel more carefree when wearing it and therefore help with the cost per wear. Just my opinion but I hope this helps. I’m sure others with this jacket will post their perspective as well! ❤️
I have a question especially to those who used alteration service at Hermes. How long does it usually take for example to shorten length of pants? For example if I go to one of NY stores and will buy pants, can I request length adjustment and can they send it back by mail? I live in the city where closest store is DC and it’s 4 hours drive one way without traffic. Also I really dont like the store and people who work there. I tried to give it multiple attempts and every time it was a disappointment. When I was traveling to France I really like this shirt and pants but this is smallest size and it’s still very baggy on me. So I was thinking maybe I can travel to NY and buy it there and request alteration. But I cannot travel there often. Also I’m not sure if they could do something about shoulders. It looks way too big. But I fell in love with this color. 
@Angiebbb I agree with @Gin&H that it is teal. The color is phenomenal. I personally think it works for any skintone because you can balance it with either neutral tones for everything else or do a black-and-white contrast.
I have a very pale pink leather jacket from this past collection. So far so good, no problems. I was a bit concerned with getting something on the elbows. I’m assuming gentle wipe down can solve some basic issues if needed.
Hi, it usually takes 2-3 weeks for alterations at Madison. I have had them ship me items once completed so I didn't have to make another trip to the store, but my SA facilitated the process. But you can probably arrange that when you make the purchase and talk to the tailor when they come to to take measurements. The other issue may be availability of that particular color... I don't know what the current stock at Madison is but maybe someone who has been there recently can comment on if they saw this there.
I have alterations done at H madison or at my professional third party tailor. Alterations at H can take a long time, and I just got a call from Hermes for my tuxedo jacket: “Um, can you come back in bc the pin fell out of the sleeve and there were two different lengths discussed, so we want to make sure we got the right one.”
So, I would personally always recommend tailoring close to your location bc there could be a need for a second fitting; you might decide you want to wear the garment with different shoes etc; or, a pin could fall out.
I also recommend picking up alterations, bc there have been cases at H where the tailor forgot to do one of the tasks and where SPA forgot to SPA one of two box Kelly bags brought in at the same time that they had in their possession for months. (This kind of snafu has not happened to me at Chanel).
I believe @Bdbunny does have alterations done long distance (FSH) and has things sent back to her via her local, and she seems to have much better luck than me
Re the silk shirt in particular, I got a 34 which was the smallest at the store. It’s huge. I think if the sleeves were wider, my DH could fit into it. My SA and the SM insisted that it’s meant to be this way. I think I’m bigger than you (I’m a 36 Chanel), but I vacillate as to whether I like being swamped with fabric. Same with the silk pants. They really are like pajamas.
@Angiebbb , I like the soft teal green equestrian jacket, but I’d only wear that color with white jeans or beige in the spring. So for me, unlike gold, ebene, etoupe, beige, or light neutrals, it would be limited in usage. I think it’s too close in tonal value to wear with my lighter blue jeans. Though I think it could be very pretty with this seasons cuffed Gris carbone denim
If you love the color, I vote yes, why not.ETA: I was just there and I don’t recall seeing mosaic in red, but I wasn’t looking for it either. I think there was a hot pink section though, not sure (second to last pic). Behind the white suede corset dress, ghillie perforated detail, mannequin.

Both those jackets are stunning…that teal is fabulous!
I have a cream wool/leather jacket from a few years ago. It is currently being cleaned in Paris because of course there has been color transfer to the leather trim. TBH, I wear jeans and I’m going to continue wearing jeans and decided not to change my wardrobe for the jacket. It also picks up dirt on the leather cuffs.
Funnily enough my Craie Birkin has survived thus far unscathed though I do wipe it down after each wear and, as a tote, it rarely comes in contact with my denim. Concern about color transfer was part of the reason I declined a K32 in Craie in Paris in October.
@Angiebbb , the color of this jacket is gorgeous. Depending upon the colors you would choose to wear it with
color transfer might be a concern.
I'd wear this jacket almost all year around. It will look gorgeous with cream, chocolate brown.
What color (s) did H pair it with?
JMO, but any light color jacket or bag is always high maintenance but I'm of the mindset just
wear it & enjoy it..
Picked up this mockneck with the Medor style. I was skeptical since it looked like it would fit an infant but it’s ribbed design, so it stretches…I was worried about my head fitting through lol. It fits true to size and lays nicely. I’d recommend to not go a size larger as the extra fabric caused rolls to appear - no one wants that hah. I love that it’s mostly made with natural fibers - 90ish % silk and a few percent elastane and polyamide. It is a mockneck but surprisingly comfortable once on. Just need to pair with blue jeans and lean into the Steve Jobs chic lol
