My store still haven't received any Rocabar but I just want to say that Poncho is so IN this season. Everywhere I looked, there were ponchos of all kinds! 
I've worn mine every day as well, both at home and out, and have decided that a second one is a must. I have so many GMs, might as well have two of something I will wear on a near-constant basis.
HfromT, you have convinced me I need the dark gray, you little enabler!
Fortunately, my BF has warmed up to the poncho on my second go-round, I guess my little styling trick helped...
The only objection in my house was my little pup, who went running, head down and tail between his legs, when he saw me! Miraculously, he has succumbed to the poncho as well, as it has proven to be a good perch for a lap dog.
Bravo, Monceau....you managed to turn the men in your life onto ponchos!!! I bet the anthracite will look wonderful on you! And I completely agree that it makes sense to have more than one of something you plan to wear a lot.
Funny about your pup's reaction too! I put mine on last night when I was watching "Scandal" on tv, and my dog immediately jumped up onto my lap and made himself quite comfortable!

Really, xiangxiang? I must get out more!
Still, I am undecided.
Awww- pics of the pup, pretty please?!I've worn mine every day as well, both at home and out, and have decided that a second one is a must. I have so many GMs, might as well have two of something I will wear on a near-constant basis.

I agree, xiangxiang! It's interesting to see how different designers market the same concept though. Many opt to call them something like cashmere wraps, rather than ponchos. Which got me thinking that that's the way I'm going to "market" my H poncho to my DH when he sees it (he's away on business). If I say "look sweetie, do you like my new poncho?!", it won't be as well received as "look sweetie, do you like my new wrap?!" In my opinion, both species are quite similar (give or take a fringe or two), with one being perhaps more marketable than the other! And I'm finding that I wear this poncho more like a wrap, with one end tossed over my shoulder.

it's definitely in my neck of the woods! Burberry ponchos are apparently a sell out already.
Agreed! Some of them are more like a wrap with fringe on both ends. Some have more of a shape to them therefore more like a poncho. Some have checks etc. My SO still hates the poncho but I wonder I could sell the "wrap" idea...
^^^^you should absolutely try the "wrap marketing scheme" with your SO, xiangxiang!!
Let us know if you succeed!
All your mod shots are so enabling! I am in love with the sold out Burberry blanket wrap as it appeared to look nice on Sarah Jessica Parker who is about my size/build, but I'm not so sure how these lovely H ponchos will work on my small frame 
^^^me too, Mindi B! In fact, having a few horrible 70s poncho flashbacks in my head right now!
If Hermes had listed these in the ready-to-wear section of their website, I hazard to guess that they would sell far more of them than they do when they are listed in the equestrian section, under "for the rider"! Really H?? Because I used to ride when I was younger, and none of us ever wore anything like this!
The SM at my boutique told me that the ponchos have always sold well, which is comforting to know because I'm past the age of jumping on the trend bandwagon.^^^me too, Mindi B! In fact, having a few horrible 70s poncho flashbacks in my head right now!

Speaking of succumbing to trends, I decided the Burberry monogram colorblock poncho was becoming overexposed, so I called to take my name off the list. The SA said "really?!? We have over 500 names and have stopped taking new names, so you should keep your place." 500 names at one store, perhaps he was exaggerating, but the thought of that many colorblock ponchos running around makes my head spin. So much for a "unique" piece...
The H poncho is much more under the radar and something that can be worn for years.
OK ladies. I've been away for a while and I'mnot seeing any new PICS!!!!! Uhm.... come on now!! Enuff with the jibber jabber and show off your goodies!! 
This red Alamo definitely looks better in natural lighting than it did in the boutique!!!! Actually love the colors outdoors.... thx for posting dear!
p.s. How will you get the wrinkles out of that Rocobar????
