Sounds like I need to try on a 100! I’m tall and love the 140, but it is a lot of scarf. I have the same struggle with the silk 90s. They feel a bit too ladylike on me, but I’m discovering the magic of scarf rings. They really help tie them into long-n-lean shapes.

Yes, that's all of the CSGM colors. CW10 and 12 were a bit of challenge to acquire.Wow! Is this all the colours? Fantastic collection!!
Congrats they are all beautiful! Though 10 is really beautiful!
Wonderful (literal) side by side comparison of the CW's.
Do you have a favorite?
I agree with you that 10 is the most beautiful one. And I had to get it from overseas. It was the only one that my super SA could not get me.Congrats they are all beautiful! Though 10 is really beautiful!
05 and 10 are my favorites. Had I been able to get 10 a lot earlier, I probably won't have bought 09 and 12.
Thank you Cygne, I love the design too and it also has a meaning to me, because I need to have a bit of Samurai attitude at my work [emoji3][emoji3][emoji3]
Hi twinsie!! @meowlett 
Here's my favorite part on the whole design. The depth and shades of the colors are amazing. I can literally stare at it all day.
My SA knew I'm a huge Samourais fan so he reserved all CWs for me as soon as they arrived. I was lucky to have owned them early April. But to my surprise, 6 out of 9 (I got an extra CW10 for a friend's coming birthday) I had to exchange. They all had some unneglectable issues, pulls, runs, snugs. My SA is the best SA that he told me to have no hesitation to bring them back even with the faintest flaws. While we were doing exchange, we inspected those in store and noticed that a lot of them had pulls and runs as well! So the store had to send all those back and requested for replacements and guess what, some replacements had to send back as well! What a headache! So a lot of waiting and I ended up getting my set without blemishes close to mid-May. I'm quite surprised with the quality control and I've since then been a bit more pulled back buying scarves for sure.
I know some of you knew I got the whole set and were waiting for me to share some photos. I've been traveling a lot since end of May, so so far I've only gotten to play with CW 10 and CW 12 and tried the CW 05 on my mannequin.
These photos are not the best, but I think they do show the power of how PdS pull a look together! They allow me to wear colors that you normally would not combine. I started with CW 10 and CW 12 particularly to get those forever sleeping in my closet items out! I don't think I've ever worn my acid green coat so often and paired it with a gray bag!
So here are some before (CW 05) / in (CW 12) / after (CW 10) action photos.

Hi Twinsie! I had no idea that I was going to get them all until @BBC encouraged me to when I only had 09, 10 and 12 to go late in April. My SA checked all of my purchases. So I did not run into quality issues. With my business travel schedule in May and some failed attempts to cheat on my SA, I was extremely lucky to own them all the first week of June.Hi twinsie!! @meowlett

I only asked my SA to reserve 05, 06, and 09 for me before they hit the store, but he was super nice to immediately put all CWs aside as soon as he received any because he knew I went gaga last year over the 90s (which I got all CWs as well) and thought even though I said I was going to avoid getting all of them, I would eventually wanted to get them all. He knows me well.
Still now, if I get to choose again, I cannot think of anyone that I could skip. They're all very unique in their own way. I did check out other stores back then in nearby cities while waiting for my replacements and I saw some crazy pulls as well on brand new ones in other stores. I did check all my scarves very thoroughly since some tPFers brought the issue to our attention earlier in the season. H probably rushed to released this highly anticipated design and produce more scarves than they used to so didn't do a great quality control. Other than the pulls and snugs, sometimes there are also quite a few leftover threads, which I learned that should be removed at the last step during the production. If you check your scarves carefully you might be able to see them. I happened to have 2 CW 10 to compare side by side so I knew some "dots" that were from the leftover threads were not intended to be there. In any case, I'm really happy to have them all. And I'm happy there's someone that understands and shares my joy!
Thank You for the pictures cavalla! So special scarf and design!Hi twinsie!! @meowlett

I did not start until the end of Feb and asked my SA to find me one... I asked for 06. The next thing I knew, she set aside 01, 06 and 07 for me. I bought 06 and 07 and tried to exercise self control. My coworker called BS on me when she asked why I had not taken them all. My SA has been holding every one coming to her store that I don't have yet. When she held two 03 for me, I bought them both and gave one to Mom. This is the only scarf that I ever dream (literally) about. I am always afraid to look at this thread. I feel relieved when I have them all. Even though I am an ogress with green skin, I think I will still get 09 and 12 if I have to do it all over again.I only asked my SA to reserve 05, 06, and 09 for me before they hit the store, but he was super nice to immediately put all CWs aside as soon as he received any because he knew I went gaga last year over the 90s (which I got all CWs as well) and thought even though I said I was going to avoid getting all of them, I would eventually wanted to get them all.
