Finally got time to take mod pics of my Rocabar and Alamo ponchos together under natural light.
Please ignore the wrinkles on my Rocabar as I just took it out from the bottom of my winter closet. :P

Thanks, tammy, for the comparison pics ~ I could not find a photo of the Alamo poncho anywhere! This is very helpful and you look great in both ponchos.

My pleasure, VigeeLeBrun. Here's a close-up of the Alamo for you. :)

Welcome, HfromT.

RV shoes are always a perfect match with H items.

Thanks, rainneday. Yes, both ponchos are great. It's really hard to tell which I love more.

Here is mine! It is incredibly soft! Usually I am way too sensitive for any kind of wool! I love it! It will look perfect with my etoupe kelly boots.

Ohhh, lovely64, this looks perfect on you, and will definitely be a great match with your etoupe riding boots! You are way better at taking selfies than I am...my attempts to photograph my anthracite poncho on myself were a complete fail!

So envious of those who look good in the poncho. Although I didn't think the style would look good on me, I couldn't resist checking it out while at the store yesterday after reading all the comments here!:p As expected, I totally looked short and dumpy in it. You ladies must be tall and slim like models! :flowers:
I also have trouble fitting into jumping boots, so I am thinking there is a direct positive association between those who look good in jumping boots and poncho and vice versa (those who don't look good in jumping boots don't look good in poncho) :greengrin:

Hi Kitty S...I am only 5" 4" and 120-ish lbs, so I'm neither tall nor particularly slender, but I am really loving the anthracite poncho I just purchased. I am also unable to fit my calves into the H jumping boots (I suppose I can thank genetics and weight training for that), so I've been wearing ankle booties and Prada riding boots with my poncho. But it's definitely a look one has to be comfortable with. As someone said in this thread, it's all about adopting a certain attitude when wearing it!

Here is a photo I took today, in bright light by a window. I think it shows the true color of the anthracite poncho....

That goes my theory! LOL!
You are tallER than me, and I would kill for those two extra inches! But certainly it's the attitude. Maybe I should amend the theory to those who have the attitude to wear boots, but I am sure I will get exceptions to that too :p
You did a great job combining the scarf and poncho. Enjoy!

I think so many of us would like to borrow a few inches from others! And thank you for the compliment on the scarf/poncho combination ( that cw of La Femme is my favorite scarf).
