looking good, boys! :woohoo:

love to see everyone carrying various sizes and demonstrating that size does not equate masculinity... (pun intended! :graucho:) and if it suits your style, yes, you CAN carry/wear a bag in the crook of your arms!

keep them coming!

Totally agree with you...........we do all come in different size just like the bags..........so why can't a very petite guy carry a 30cm Birkin????.........:D

The quality of Hermes' CAshmere has gone down a bit... My Loro Piana does not pill as much as my Hermes... and the scarves I bought 8 years ago hold up better the recent one... I have been skeptical now from buying Hermes' cashmere since last year... but silk is always okay. If it is chucky knit and Made in Scoland (as most chucky cashmere knits by H are made in Scotland) then they are still okay IMHO.

I dare say you are right about the declining quality. When I heard it for the first time, I thought it was purely nostalgia and didn't take it seriously. And a few others made the same observation, including your good self. Come to think of it, I have a H stole from the mid 90s and a 70 carre from several years back, both made of the same cashmere/silk blend (I think there is only one from H). Neither of them pills as badly as the Couvectures shawl I bought last winter.

I believe Couvectures is probably H's first 140 shawl for men (with a T in the product code). The design (as recently modelled by iylin265) is TDF! Loro Piana's stuffs are nice, though they are probably a lot subtler design wise? What are their prices like, say, for a shawl of similar sizes?

You made an excellent point here. A 50cm HAC does not make you look more manly nor does a 35cm Birkin make you look less manly. ;)

Thanks for posting this! You look fabulous! Since the quality of LV goes down I am thinking about other labels... And Hermes would be really nice!

Your photo helped me to decide wich size, since the most man carry 40s I've been so confused... But your 35 looks amazing and absolutely right on you. Do you mind me asking how tall you are? I am 6 feet tall...

Hi, :smile1: Im only 5/8, maybe thats why 35 suits me better than a 40, and I think you'd look great in 40cm.

I know the plight of H cashmere, hence I bought H 140 Washed Silk instead... "Psyche" is a very nice design and I find it versatile :)

The leather scarf ring I made it myself... as no H scarf-ring will be big enough for the way I wear my 140 washed silk...

and H silk is still top notch in quality at this point so it is still a good long term piece... as silk can be very warm too :)

My scarf ring is very subtle and subdue and since Hermes does not make a ring that is big enough for 140 Washed Silk... So i made one myself with a bronze buckle and a small piece/stripe of brown leather... work out well I think.
