I was surprised to find that Hermes changed the size of the maxi twilly to be much shorter! What is everyone's opinion on this new sizing?

Yowza ! you are right they are now 160 cm - kinda teeny weeny maxi twilly - they were at 220 cm in 2014

I actually just tried on one recently and was not seduced into buying it. I preferred the longer original ones.

I new to Maxi Twilly which is unfortunate as they are so short now. There also seems to be very few on the US hermes site compared to other countries. Any idea why?

I still love them too (again...fell out and in and out and in again) and have decided both sizes are good for slightly different things. Have yet to buy a shorter one, as I am chasing one from the last couple of years but may eventually give up and pick a more recent one.

Here's one of mine- Brazil in menthe from 2013.

Yeah the length difference is pretty significant! I didn't try on the new version...I should have *face palm*. I'm actually thinking this shorter version may be more preferable for me because I always feel my zebra pegasus maxi twilly is too long when I wear it. Though this could just be my inexperience in wearing/knotting this format:doh:

Good to know! I will have to learn some maxi twilly knots and styles to get more wear out of the one I currently have.

Beautiful maxi twilly @bunnycat ! Definitely interested in seeing how everyone here will wear the new format, if we even wear them differently from the old ones:biggrin:

Thank you MiisIn!

yes- it's taken me some time with these old longer ones. I really like the tie I used above which starts in back, wraps to front, then back again, and finally finishes off with a weave knot in the front. You can start in front, wrap to back and wrap around to the front and do the weave knot, but the tails will be a lot longer. you might try that with the ZP to use up some material and shorten the tails. My other one is ZP. I need to play around with it some more too and post a pic.

I think this may be the longer variation that starts with the center of the MT in front and just wraps once but i could be wrong and it may be the same!

And a couple of more from when I was playing around with ideas for it one week on SOTD:

I'm going to have to try out wearing them like this. I have 2 MT's that I really like but don't wear much.

I've been playing with them a lot again (I guess since it is cool and mild out right now) and have been enjoying them again. The real trick for me will be what to do in summer with them.....

I am on the search for the Zebra Pagasus in cw 07... I'm wondering do you all have much success still finding the older ones in stores?

Do you have an SA that can do a search? There's probably not a huge chance of success, but you never know. The oldest ones I saw were the Famingo Party one, and it was on the Canada site.

I have a call in to her as the one I want is also on the Canadian site :(
