What a fab story Canuck! (And a fab piece of history....I shall take it in to next year, when I will probably have to score essays on the "Range Wars" again and will keep all this in mind... )



Gorgeous sf!



You look fab and ready to rodeo!



Beautiful post lanit!



Beautiful colors I4H!

Thank you bunnycat! you're so sweet!

A perfect complement for your wardrobe!



I love the look. Simple but luxurious!



XCS your 140 Kachinas is stunning!



That Pani bandana is super cute! (I always seem to gravitate to the blues in the bandanas myself...)

Beautiful! I loooooooove Regina. All the CWs I've seen are lovely. Mine is navy.

Thank you so much moma! I confess I just ordered another cw!

 

[I4H]

Beautiful! Your collection is so romantic, for lack of a better word! Congrats on a new addition!!

Thank you so much Julide, I'm a divorced woman of a certain age and have been in a wonderful and romantic relationship for almost 3 years. Perhaps my scarf choices reflect my life style. I'm very blessed.

WOW, Love your ring and you look great with green

My one and only Pawnee. This one is a wash scarf and is oh so soft! It gives me that vintage vibe.

So pretty MAGJES,don't you just love when they become buttery soft!

Beautiful choices xincinsin! I’m glad you’ve conquered the fear of 140 silks! Yay!

Thank you cutie!

Thank you! It’s a real workhorses too - it goes with almost everything!

Lovely! I really like the last tie on your cream sweater!

Well done! You’re the queen of these little cuties!
(If bandanas count as western wear, p’haps I’ll post my newest!)

Thank you so much sweetie! < hugs!>

@Croisette7 - so many beautiful scarves! I’m glad to see you posting and hope all is well. We’ve missed you!

Thank you Cookie!! (I wanna see your new bandana!!!!)

These look fab on you. I think the key to loving the 140s is perseverance - you really can make them pretty small!

very true!

Well, perhaps not American cowboys but certainly masterful horsemen in their own right! Cavaliers du Caucase.

I always love looking at this one! So intricate!

My one and only Pawnee. This one is a wash scarf and is oh so soft! It gives me that vintage vibe.

Glorious colors MAGJES!

Xcs, great intro and oerfect for Thanksgiving week. I love your Mustangs and Tsitkas silks. Two that haven’t yet made it to my collection.

For me, this week holds bittersweet memories. My father was an avid supporter and promoter of Native American tribes in our region and oromoted many Friendship Dances and gatherings when we kids were growing up. When he passed away while I was in college he had amassed quite a collection of Navajo and other tribal artifacts that we kids then divided up amongst ourselves. None of my sibs wanted the wear or keep the silver and turqouise pieces, so they eventually were bestowed upon me. Every Thanksgiving holiday I bring or wear one or two pieces with One of KOs silks. I especially am fond of Kachinas, Pani la Shar, Les Danses des Indiens and the Texas turkey silk. I’m posting archival photos while I take new ones this week if I can get a moment to do so. I’m so proud to have KO in my collection. I never want to release his designs. They evoke such strong memories for me.

Dear @lanit, I know that I already commented on your beautiful post, but just had to go back and look at it and read your heartfelt words again... Your dad was a remarkable man and left such an important heritage, and collection to you and your siblings... Your pieces are outstanding! Thanks so much for sharing!

Here they are as you wish
I love this CW more than other colors

It is magnificent! This Cw never came to my store, but I will call my SA as I wish to see it. So versatile! You style it beautifully each time

Great question although I may be in hot water here. By colourist I mean that I think in colour. Colour for me occupies the role music plays in many people's lives. I am retired (although still active) and more and more I find myself immersed in that aspect of reality that is real but without form. I have pretty much given up on value judgements around stuff being expensive, or conversations around whether things are 'worth' or 'not worth it'. For me participating in the colour-event of being dressed and out there in the world is an artistic event; not unlike a ballet, it's a technicolour response to the event of living.

But there is 100% no difference between me and ya'll reading this: this is what everyone does, every day. We reach for a colour combination that makes us feel optimistic, happy, calm, refined etc. and in putting it on telegraph these feelings (and hopes) to the world. It's not complicated or good or bad, it just is. I'm just aware of it so I call my approach that of a colourist. Also I'm basically tone deaf so I am kind of compensating!

What a great way to put it... to explain this passion for color and style in our daily lives! Now I totally understand why you are, indeed, a colorist!

Pivoines really stands out against a black top. It is a beautiful cw that I overlooked. I really need to give it another look! Great inspiration.
I adore the CSGM scarves and congrats on your 1st! Lovely!

Thank you so very much!

I love Kermit Oliver designs, especially the 90 carre silks (& SW silver and turquoise jewellery ). Here in Les Kachinas CSGM - ready for rodeo.

You are amazing! I am sure that people lust do a double-take and compliment you on your outfit!

what a lovely compliment fifi - your jewelry collection is beyond compare. Of course I look forward to your posts this week!

Thank you so much, dear

Since our theme week is about wild west and KO silks here are my two heritage pieces with my favorite vintage Pani La Shar and Texas wildlife (the others are in safe deposit boxes), so tough to get during holidays to photograph. I've posted to your request on the NA jewelry thread too dear.

https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/real-native-american-jewelry.864169/page-73#post-33461246

FYI - avid collectors, I noticed that the Pani scarf has the most interesting silver screened art on the background.

Amazing photos! Love the pic of your dad! And, yes, the details in Pani are spectacular... I love the touches of matte blanc, especially on his pleated shirt

Not on theme but sharing my latest scarf mail. I immediately fell in love with the color and print. I'm always attracted to scarves featuring flora or fauna. I couldn't wait to tie it on!

So pretty! I own this design in red and ivory... It is a classic favorite!

So excited to be breaking out the Mountain Zebra 90 today. My SA noticed that I wear a lot of black and brown so recommended this colorway.

I am so intrigued by this CW... It is spectacular and looks amazing on you!

Kachinas - when I first bought the navy one, I felt like I had made a mistake. Then after researching the Kachinas and learning a bit of KO history, I came to love it. Then I found a Maxi Twilly in pink... now I’m searching for a cream one.

How could you ever doubt Kachinas? It is a masterpiece of design and cultural significance... This blue is amazing on you! An ivory 90 just sold for a very reasonable price on TRR... Are you looking for a maxi twilly or 90 in the ivory? I own the ivory CW and it’s the Kachinas I wear most

Joining in the Kachinas love. The first Kachinas I acquired was a 140 summer silk in a passionate red. The sheer size of it left me stunned and, after a couple of half-hearted attempts at corralling all that fabric, it languished in its box. I've been inspired by @Pautinka and @tlamdang08 to bring it out again today. It doesn't seem so daunting now
View attachment 4600370
The second Kachinas I bought was quite the other extreme: men's ascot, much less fabric, and a subdued cw. My favorite format for fuss-free wearing.

And a little cultural spin on horses and horsemen. In many parts of Chinese-speaking territories, the bicycle and/or the motorbike are known as the "iron horse" 鐵馬. Yesterday's scarf was the coppery Toile (twins with @Jbizzybeetle) which features a rider on a horse as well as a hunk with his HAC and his "iron horse"
View attachment 4600383

The red summer silk is amazing! But, the CW of the ascot is so rich and beautiful! And such a manageable format... I would love to try it! Fascinating info on the least design

Les Danses des Indiens by Kermit Oliver featuring ritual dances of various Indian tribes with the sun at the center.

I love this one... I am your twin... Looks spectacular on you!

I only have a couple of KO designs, but since bandanas count for "western" wear this week...

Ex Libris Madras mousseline (the least "western" of my bananas )

A little more wild west styling with Grand Manege Cut bandana paired with denim (boy- do I miss these smaller size care tags...)

And a little bit of Pani la Shar peeking through on my Carre en Carre maxi twilly:

All amazing, especially the madras... It is sublime! You wear them all beautifully

IMO the navy kachinas works well on you b/c it's a bright navy (as opposed to a winter navy which is practically black). Was a wise decision, not a mistake.

Thank you sweetheart - I appreciate hearing that!
PS - you look fabulous in green!

Ha! I know, I know! But I did doubt myself... now a few years later and I want more! The wash Carre that @scarf1 and several others have and the elusive cream 90 are on my WANT list!
