Ode to Hermes Poncho

[festus]

Anyone on the shorter side who has pictures to share? Am in love with the idea of the poncho, but it seems really big, with a lot of material!

I'm 163 cm (5 ft 4) and slim. There is a lot of fabric but it all somehow works and I don't feel it is overwhelming.

Ladies, do you feel that the Hermes Poncho is timeless. I am so interested in purchasing one, but want to be able to wear it for a very long time. What do you think?

Absolutely... I never worry about this. It's an equestrian look, rather than a fashion or trend one, and equestrian style is fairly consistent for a long, long time.

You'll definitely find occasion to wear them for years to come. Think of them as "cashmere wraps" as another poster suggested. In my opinion the material of the Racobar is a bit heavier and the stripes give it more of a casual poncho/equestrian vibe. The Alamo is slightly lighter and the large blocks of colour (black/blue, orange/red etc) give it a slightly more polished "cashmere wrap" vibe. I have both and can see myself wearing them for many years.

When this thread was started, we were together wondering which bag would go well with our ponchos...? - Just found out that the Halzan is quite perfect IMHO:

I totally agree. Very well stated!

I'm loving the new (?) beige and grey as well. Could someone describe the "weight and hand" of this one? I haven't been able to make it into my local H to check it out. Sorry if this has been answered. [emoji5]
