Anyone men use a Bolide 40 or 45, or is this much less desirable? I understand it has a strap but the strap is not practical for crossbody use.

The Bolide a Dos is effectively a 40 with a removable strap designed for crossbody use.
Tried this on. It’s awkward with the single strap; it’s more bulbous than the Hac a Dos so it sits funny as a crossbody?
New amazing pair of men’s pants called pantalone Seoul attaché etrier drill de coton, 1350 USD H555200H4
Elastic back, self belt buckled front with a cute snap detail at the bottom. I took a men’s 38 (tailor took in the leg and shortened the pants, original hem). For women who like to wear men’s pants like me, im a size 38 carot women’s pant, or size 36 shorts. Crossposted in H RTW thread. They fit like Brunello cuchinelli pants but are more fashion (not sartorial). My SA is looking into price to make these MTM in etoupe and a great charcoal gray (they have the swatches). These are a green thats dark blue gray in tone. Since i didnt take a pic of the tag, maybe called marine but not sure.

I got the GM version last year in Asia at around USD14,000, i think. Was shown both the GM (togo) and PM (evercolor) models in black with palladium hardware and decided to get the GM as I wanted it as a travel bag. Love it and have been using it to even go hiking around Japanese shrines last fall. I like how the soft leather slouches after using it for awhile to give it that nonchalant look.
If you dont have much to put in your bag, the PM is more than enough, but I usually pack alot of things - I live in the tropics so always have a umbrella in my bag and the GM fits all my stuffs - even a huge bottle of water, and I sometimes even use it for packing small amount of groceries from the grocer…

Love. Had the same as well but found it got very heavy very quickly and the thin strap would dig into me so I recently consigned it. Been thinking of getting a soft slouchy Kelly 32 and using a 50cm wide canvas strap instead. It is a beautiful bag though once it breaks in.
Actually, you have me thinking now; I wonder if the H spa can remove the sewn leather strap and leave me with just the D-rings. I bought a 105cm long 50cm wide canvas noir and ecru strap from Hermes last week for my Kelly 35 and it would look *so good* with my noir KM GM plus give me a much wider strap for heavier loads. I can't imagine it's an impossible task, but I wonder if they'd even offer to do so (presuming I can recall it from consignment)
It's a good idea and a shame that the bag was not originally designed in that way.
I think you will find that Spa will not change anything from the original specifications apart from putting double rings on Kellys if the handle is replaced.
For example changing gold to paladium hardware is a no no.
Of course you could always remove the stitched strap yourself,
but that would mean bye bye forever to any Hermes repair work.
Totally. Just texted my SA to ask; only after getting the PM messenger did I realize they put the same width strap on both sizes but for the bigger bag, a heavier carry (laptop, etc.) gets pretty uncomfortable especially in cross body form. Wearing it higher on the back makes it more tolerable for weight balance but it can dig.
Hi, looking for guidance on mens sandals for my partner. The Izmirs are too tight (he can't get his foot all the way through). Are there any styles that are a bit wider / more open? Like the Gabriel? Kazimir? Or others? Thank you!!
