So chic! You look fabulous @Gin&H Did you find it at our boutique? I’m swinging by when I return to the States to pick up my navy jacket and I’d love to try that mock neck…I have one from four years ago that also fits well but has a sheen to it as well as various cable designs so feels quite dressy and I’d love a more casual piece.
Yes, it was in our boutique! I was surprised because I don’t think we got the other version last F/w that I had my eye on. Attached the product code and the picture from the website!
Wow the colour is amazing on you! I can't comment on altering in the US as I don't shop there, but I have had alterations done, always with Hermes' in house tailors, in other stores and especially FSH, pinned, altered and then shipped to me. No issues so far but I don't really go for very complicated things like sizing down items completely. I hope this set works out for you.
that color is there. I purchased a dress from that line last week.
the mosaique is more of a raspberry colorI 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 denimIf 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.

The cotton mosac shirt with hemstitch details does come in rose framboise. I got one in this color at Madison last week. It’s at the tailor’s for minor alterations. From past experience even minor alterations can take anywhere from 3 to 4 weeks.
Pros:
Hi dear, thank you so so much ❤️, I actually love both, and especially the teal one, but my husband reminded me I bought two teal blazer in the past 2 years and only wore one once 😅. I also have three blue leather jackets I never touch, so I think it would be best to pass on the teal until I have a more vibrant autumn wardrobe. Since I learnt my colors I try to buy mostly from that palette, but to do an entire wardrobe, it will that time, I still have lots of black, pink and colors that aren’t for me everywhere. 😅I will follow your advice and wait for the brown. ❤️I will probably regret not buying at least one of these, but if they remain unused I will regret it more. Thank you so much! ❤️
Gorgeous jacket, it looks great on you. Thank you so much! ❤️I love both and it will be hard to pass on them, but maybe I need to get the brown first before to see if I will use it enough. If any of these jackets stay in the closet, I can already hear my husband saying: “I told you…” 😅
I saw this set there this week. Are they 34? They had 36 of the shirt for sure. If you would like I can ask about the alterations for you, I will be there tomorrow. I also think I saw this shirt recently online in 34. A stores can also transfer from their warehouse so you can try, but it takes a few days to arrive. The color is framboise, it was in the dark pink section.
Thanks dear❤️@880 and @tinkerbell68, I barely have anything white in my wardrobe (also not my color), also very little beige. I need to stop or reduce using black drastically, so I’ve been wearing a lot of green, red and navy/marine, and the teal wouldn’t work with any 😅. I am the queen of color transfer, it follows me. Thank you so much for all your advice, as @Gin&H suggested, I will get the brown first. Both are spectacular though. 😍I have alterations done at H madison or at my professional third party tailor.

Hi dear, thank you❤️, the jackets had just arrived, and only the beige was out (it looks craie, but the color is called beige something). I think the teal is malachite. I already know that first day out it will come back stained - I am very clumsy😅, hence best to avoid. It is so chic though… 😍
