Thats a really great look! Totally loving the simplicity and elegance of it + the attention to detail!
I’m in love with this bag? It was the perfect work bag today and the swift leather is just so soft. And etain is so lovely, so grey but captures warm hues so nicely with the sun. A little purple undertone at times too.

💯 @Lol22177 , I love it too. Adore the velvet slippers
DH tried on two sports coats: the first 5100 USD, leather pocket zip detail. He rejected bc he has the same style from last season in cotton. He did get the second jacket , mohair, double lapelled, with two way closure (pants to follow)
In prior seasons DH is a 48R. This season, 50R.
The first jacket is too small 48R; I forgot to take a pic with the right size
Also, a cashmere polo neck button down cardigan. Rejected bc there was a gap when he sat down. Size men’s small fit the shoulder but was too slim in the torso. Pattern similar to ladies pale froi. If he wanted to wear it with a t shirt underneath, he would have gone up to a M.
For the women who read this thread, I tried it on in the Hermes RTW thread, post 6259, https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/hermes-rtw.920133/page-418
@Nikhil7286 , I love your lakis too! Congrats
ETA: mohair jacket tag is from the size 48, but DH bought the 50. The jacket that DH passed on was this:

First spotted this bag in the FSH windows back in 2017 and was immediately intrigued by its minimal approach to the Kelly.

On a transit in Rome (FCO) back to the US yesterday, I met a lovely SA (who had been with Hermes 20+ years) who, after some nice discussion about bags, offered me this new Bolide Messenger in Caban. It was surprisingly larger than what I had expected from photos though still too small to hold my full sized ipad.
Priced duty free at 4759EUR (~$5,465) a whole lot less than the $7,000 US boutique price even if subject to duty payment upon arrival back to the US.
I politely declined as I have several other HMS messenger style bags (including my Kelly Messenger, HAC A DOS and bolittle) that already serve me well as a small daily messenger but it did show that you can find some gems at airport boutiques - especially if you have a little time to chat up the SA and they have some interest in their job.
This was on my return back to the US through Rome. On my outbound transit several days earlier, i stopped into the boutique and asked a completely indifferent (to anything) SA who just said "no bags" without so much as waiting a second (and said same when i asked about a pair of jet sneakers in my size).
I do love the Caban color - I have a steve light messenger in Cadan and the very dark blue (almost black) is a great color and something a little different than the more common noir.

Have a larger K40 lakis in black canvas and box leather - love it! Great choice and Etain is one of the colors I'd like to add to my collection at some time. Congrats!
Thank you! Totally, it’s such a versatile/functional bag. It quickly became my daily work bag when I don’t need my B35 amounts of space.
I switched to my usual summer bag (a Evelyne III GM in Etoupe) earlier this month. I only use it during the dry summer months. I purchased back in 2017 and it still looks good. I'm also wearing a Chaine d'Ancre GM bracelet today.
Wow I LOVE absolutely everything about this outfit!! Is the shorter gold necklace you have on the Chaine d'Ancre necklace in the medium size? It seems like the perfect size! Not too big and not too small, definitely want to get that sometime in the future!Mini Kelly and Hermes gold necklaces + belt + trousers in Venice
I wear a lot of men’s RTW: pants, shirts, sweaters.
Here’s a women’s wool turtleneck sweater than I think men could really wear well. I’m short 5”2’ and the sweater extends to the top/middle of the hip. This sweater also comes in black. Size 36. Sleeves are long for me.
Sizing: I find that a men’s 37 or 38 shirt is oversized on me. This 36 sweater is broader in the dropped shoulder which would work well on a guy). The sweater is worn backwards here, self belt unbuckled (two halves fully detachable/removable via a sliton each side. A button on the inside of the garment fastens each belt half. ) Since the belt is unbuckled. The sweater hangs straight.
If worn normally, as it’s meant with the buckle in the back, it gathers in slightly with a slight peplum effect in the small of the back. But the effect is as if you tucked the bottom back of the sweater into pants. Two side vents would allow the garment to straighten out in front. Approx 3800USD, but I imagine 25- 30% less at FSH.
ETA: bc it’s wool, not cashmere, it’s not as warm. That’s a plus for me in a thick sweater. It would look great with trousers, denim jeans, and Jaime boots 
ETA: for an extra 1100USD, my DH bought a great sportscoat which I posted upthread. In my opinion a jacket is always a better deal, but this sweater is lovely nevertheless.
