Grail Hunter. Ha Ha. H-signal. Ha Ha.Your superhero comic strip could be called “Grail Hunter”! Residents of Scarflandia could light the ’H-signal’ when we need your eagle eye to help with an elusive scarf
I think you are on to something.
So beautiful @Croisette7. A fabulous scarf in my favorite colorway - it looks fabulous on you.
Well done @Jereni! I'm so impressed with your creativity, and I LOVE your sweet little tiger.Your Carnival des Animaux is beautiful and looks fabulous with your camel coat.
Gorgeous scarf @LKBNOLA, one I hope to own someday. I almost fell out of my chair giggling over Hermesologists. Perfection! I say we all get an honorary degree!
Lovely Mineraux @Redbirdhermes, I love the bright colorway, especially with your top.
What a gorgeous colorway, I love it on you @Nomad. It's so, so pretty.
Your black/cream Monsieur et Madame is so great @Snausages! The black border is so great.
How wonderful @violetkool, this is my favorite Splash Park colorway! Congratulations!
Wonderful examples @Living.la.vida.fifi, we're sisters on Paridaiza, and your La Voie Lactee is divine, but I particularly love your new Jaguar! It's a gorgeous colorway and works perfectly with your top.
I just love your All Aboard! @Mary Ann G and laughed heartily when I saw that presents were in fact fueling the fire. Only Hermes!
Thanks so much for all the compliments and the likes!
Such great silk, all! I love Per Astra mainly due to the palm trees and cannot believe I don’t own one! I adore your CW
Another fascinating post and fabulous silks!
OMG so amazing!
You were so lucky to find this! It is a masterpieceAnother unexpected grail mousseline fell onto my shoulders when surfing for another design this one popped up on my radar. One of the few times that eBay’s algorithms worked! En fil H etoile was advertised in 2010. Who would have guessed I would find a new never worn with new tags intact and with crystal beads sewn on?
I find the geometric linear detailing a work of precise engineering and speaks to the architectural modernist soul in me

What a spectacular exhibit! Love your museum-day outfit!
Gaaah! What a special parade of silks! But most especially that Singapore limited edition… It is magnificent!@HermesEchidna, I love, love your thorough, detailed, insightful, and enriching introductions on this week's theme. I thought I would have nothing to contribute as technology, engineering, and mathematics are foreign to me, but today's sub-theme, natural history, taxonomy, and biodiversity, are at the very center of my professional and personal life. I also very much enjoyed @EtsyBoss's display of primates on scarves (congratulations on your research and I bet we have a few acquaintances in common!).
Presenting yesterday's special (as in special edition!) scarf mail and my SOTD, a biological inventory of Singapore. I also have the blue one which I thought would be a forever placeholder because I never imagined getting my hand on the SE (now need to rehome because of the "no multiples" rule). This appeared at the Singapore branch of a French auction house over the holidays, a "buy-now" (below current retail price!!!) item, which sounded like "buy immediately" to me! So happy!

I do not have that many biodiversity scarves and I was trying to figure out why this morning. I think it is because I also opt for a more poetic, whimsical style, rather than a classic illustrative one. More Shirley than Dallet, more Pythéas than Shackleton (but I'd gladly accept both, thank you very much!). Below are my Bengal tiger, South African proteas, and various birds. I am sure we can identify the species by going through Jeff Fisher's book on birds, with scientific names and history.View attachment 5932647View attachment 5932658
This is such a great one! Love it especially in this format… Beautiful CW
Such a great one!
Gaaah! Gorgeous! And who would’ve thunk it would be so great worn with stripes!
Such an amazing design… Love this very unique CW
But, you are on theme! And it is gorgeous
This design shines in this format and what a glorious CW this is
Both wonderful for the theme… And I don’t think I had ever seen the Memoire Vivre scarf!Here are 2 scarfs that fit the STEM theme: From the Mens Collex - the 1st is Memoire Vive. This scarf represents a circuit board with the carriage & driver illustrated with dots. This scarf is silk & cotton blend, which although it creases easily is very comfortable to wear. Pls excuse selfies as I have just started to do them, my phone is cheap (really only for emergencies) & am crap at selfies. Sorry I couldn't find a flat photo off the internet - the scarf would be a welcome addition for an IT professional or an electrical engineer (male or female)
Memoire Vive

Here is Des Chevaux Sous Le Capot, which according to Dr. Google translates as "Horses Under the Hood". It is full of mechanical gears & such. It is one of my favourite CSGMs and is atypical for the mens cashmere/silk as it is a 140 carre.

Love this design for its marriage of birds and calligraphy… This is such a striking Cw
Oooh fascinating! I don’t think I had ever seen this design tied before! It is amazing and made for you!
Love this CW… Such an unique design!Still on the Gelogie/Minerauz/Cristals theme ia Pierres et Mineraux from the archives:
The necklace is Dioptase Crystals (an extremely rare Copper cyclosilicate mineral) from Namibia.
Apparently Dioptase is a vibrant talisman of the heart that can help one relinquish extremely sensitive emotions such as grief, trauma, depression, anxiety, and self-hate. I just thought it was beautiful when I bought it from a Swakopmund jewelry store

Thank you @HermesEchidna for the fantastic job you've done hosting STEM week. It's been such a wonderful week of your inspiring posts, educational posts, gorgeous mod shots, and everyone's kind and thoughtful comments. Well done! 
Happy Friday Scarfies!
Horsepower (hp) is a unit of measurement of power, or the rate at which work is done, usually in reference to the output of engines or motors. The term was adopted in the late 18th century by Scottish engineer James Watt to compare the output of steam engines with the power of draft horses. It was later expanded to include the output power of other types of piston engines, as well as turbines, electric motors and other machinery.
A common legend states that the unit was created when one of Watt's first customers, a brewer, specifically demanded an engine that would match a horse, and chose the strongest horse he had, driving it to the limit. In that legend, Watt accepted the challenge and built a machine that was actually even stronger than the figure achieved by the brewer, and the output of that machine became the horsepower. (Thanks Wikipedia!)
Les Artisans d'Hermes is my SOTD. I'm enamored with the exquisite expression of the horse's face and now I'm wondering how much horsepower this horse-motorcycle-hybrid-badass has?
Have a wonderful weekend!

Have a wonderful weekend!
for you kind words, beautiful sotd and for post on horsepower - the perfect link between H and tech. I wonder if it could also work for the feeling a Good scarf Can provide in certain situation where warmth, confidence or focus is needed? Hoesepower!!
Good morning!
@MabelJo has just provided the perfect sedgeway to todays subtheme by posting about the meaning of horsepower. ‘Cause today we go back go the roots!
Both history and current design of Hermes is rooted in horses and the technologies related to them. Without stirrups, bridles and reins horseriding and horsepower would not have been the revolutionary invention it became for both movement of people, troops and Trade goods and for harnesseing the work power of horses for pulling vehicles, Threadmills and agricultural machinery.
I Bet most of you have a design with some horserelated technology on it? I resisted Bride de Gala for a long time until I stumbled upon the double faced edition. But horsegear is everywhere - show them to us!
Hugo Grygkar: Brides de gala
Horses pulling heavy stuff on Francoise de la Perriere: Cuvreries
The horses themselves are a result of both tradtitional and Scientific knowledge about breeding and selecting the animals for specific tasks and looks. Strong horses, fast horses, beautiful horses, fearless horses - the different breeds have been shaped by humans through time by fashion and changes in the functions of horses.
The breeding of horses (and other important animals, like cattle) was often a matter of the State, making agencies for Consulting breeders and buyers and for monitoring the quality of the national equine stock. An example is Les Haras Nationaux with the names of the French horse breeding institutions along the edge - to which Hermes has also been added as an important horse institution!
Hubert de Watrigant: Les Haras Nationaux
Profesional and leisure breeding of animals became extremely popular during the 19th century in the western world, and both horses, dogs, cats, pigeons, sheep, chickens, pigs and even fish were bred to fit the demand for fashion and functionalities, indeed most of the dog breeds we know today was only created since the 1850’s.
With the popularisation of Darwinisme and genetics, the mechanisms behind the breeding Industry became better understood, and specific caracters in the animals could be even more accentuated through targeted breeding - mainly for production animals and animals for shows and competitions, where the best breed would recieve prizes and praise.
Philippe Ledoux: Les Robes
Joachim Metz: Les Rubans du Cheval
And another example which I alas do not own: Hugo Grygkar: Les Races de chevaux.
So bring out your bassets and your apaloosas, your En libertes and your full bloods. Let us see all the diversity of domestic animals which farmers, breeders, enthusiasts and veterinarians have shaped through history.
My last example is Madame La Torre: Les Coqs
Have a wonderful day!
