Some men’s jackets or shackets for fall 2024. I don’t have ref numbers or prices
But I believe it’s a wide spread from 7K-15K+ USD

There is an Ode to Victoria thread in the H clubhouse subforum https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/ode-to-the-victoria.563349/page-46. I will see if I shot a pic of DH carrying my Victoria 35s for me…
Pic of DH wearing an etoupe Hermes Shacket and darker taupe cargo pant at the H runway show last week and a glimpse of his sneakerI didn’t see many men in H RTW but see the last two pics. A number men were carrying larger sized bags.

ETA: @Starlights3 , this isn’t exactly helpful, since DH isn’t carrying the Victoria 35, but I’m 5’2, medium build, broad shoulder. It’s also sitting next to him in the second pic below, under his peacoat and scarf. I believe shoulder carry drop is 7-8 inches. It fits some notebooks and an iPad and a few other things.

Love your whole look and your Victoria @880. Where are your beautiful burgundy gloves from? Are my eyes deceiving me or are they made of shagreen??
Thanks! As per @Christofle
capybara (is that how you spell it?) They’re Austrian by a guy named Tomas Reimer who sells ready made and MtM gloves at Leffot NY.

Seeing that you have a K42, would you ever add a B40 to your bag collection?
The K42 looks great on you! After seeing your K42 modshots, I am more open to adding a B40 to my bag collection. And even contemplating if I need a K42. 😂
I appreciate you so much for posting your comparison images. Thank you so much!
I am glad to find a fellow TPFer who are collecting some of (men's) bags from Hermes.🤩
I've done collecting Kelly bags or any other non-quota bags from Hermes. (By the way, I just posted my Kelly Collections here: https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/your-hermes-in-action.917931/post-36082422). [I currently have 6 Hermes bags in total, and do not own any other bags.]
I have tried B40 when I was in Paris back in January, and it was kinda big for me, so I was hesitating. (It wasn't an offer, but I was just able to try this out.) Then, I got a B35 (bleu de prusse/togo/PHW) last month. For Birkin, B35 is just the perfect size for me (and is proportional to my height), so I plan to get a couple more of B35, and I plan not to get a B40. [Note: I think many guys on this thread debate themselves regarding B35 versus B40 - I think it's really up to personal preferences.]
K42 is actually very heavy. (It is actually much, much heavier than B35.) And, I would not buy it if I can choose again. There is an option of K35 as well, but I plan not to get anymore Kelly bags because it is not too functional in terms of opening and closing the bags (i.e., the flap part). [Side note: Have you considered Kelly Messenger in either GM or PM? I think you will love it...!]
Currently, I have 2 bags in my head that I am after:
- B35 in black and PHW (box or epsom) [this year]
- B35 HSS in bi-, dark, neutral colors OR B35 in dark grey (e.g., etain) and PHW [next year]
PS. A lot of TPFers here are long-term Hermes clients. I honestly don't know how to invest time and money on Hermes, lol. I am definitely done shopping after 1-2 more B35 bags. 😂

I actually have the Kelly Messenger PM in Noir. I’ve considered buying the GM since it’s not super huge (I believe 33cm). Thank you for your insights on the K42. I love the Birkin design so much that I’m contemplating adding the B40 to my bag collection. B40s are uncommon in stores nowadays. I worry they’ll stop producing them eventually.
We must be twinsies since my Kelly Messenger PM is also in noir. And yes, the GM one is definitely worth it to include in your collection.
B40 is still in production, but the SM has to order it for you. (In other words, it is rare only because the SMs don't really order B40s these days.) K40, on the other hand, has been discontinued, and soon after, K42 was introduced. (K42 is also very rare because SMs don't really order them much; Actually, a lot of boutiques in the US haven't seen a K42 at all.)
Okay, our SA called DH to try on the green bomber, one of above, size 48, shearling collar, gray felt/wool liner, top right pic. It was DH’s first choice. SiE 50 will be brought in next week to compare bc it’s fine with a shirt, but perhaps not with a sweater. The waist is a bit narrow, though that can be addressed somewhat by unzipping the double zip from the bottom. The issue is it’s 15,300 USD for a deerskin jacket.
On the one hand, prices are spiraling upward, and it may simply be more next year. And, it’s a nice shade of green. DH hates ribbed cuffs and waists, so this felt detail is nicer. On the other, this seems like 8750 worth of jacket, (and our old SA doesn’t disagree lol) so he hasn’t decided yet. He is getting the twill pants. Apologies, I didn’t take pics of the tags
The colour is just fabulous… deep grey green bleu…
The felt details are what makes it stand out…
I find the collar a bit to big… it might be due to the colour or the chopped head pic…
Price wise… I tought hermes men RTW was very competitively priced up till now… it seems starting this winter they have heavily marked up there garments and are somewhat more par to other high end - luxury RTW. This jacket is a perfect example of it IMO.
Thanks for letting us share our vieuw.
