I thought I share with you my very first H scarf. I had no idea I would pick this one, as I went to the boutique with the idea of getting something with a cw like yellow/gold on black. But after countless tries I asked to show this one and it immediately became clear to me which one to pick. It is Cavalcadour in violet/lavande/vert. Honest responses more than welcome!

Beautiful scarf, YepYep. Suits you to a T. It won't be your first Hermès silk, I'm sure, not by a long shot. I got my first about 6 months ago, and am looking at my fifth this week!
I've also learnt that it's best to be open minded re: colours and patterns until you're trying a scarf on in the flesh. For the longest time I wanted a bright green scarf, but learnt when trying one on, that bright green just isn't my colour.

thanks jmzr22, and I'm afraid you're right this will not be my last. I'm already eying the Bolduc scarf ring, and since I will be traveling quite a lot the next couple of months I will be able to (and therefore must) visit boutiques in various parts of the world. I'm already excited about what I might see there! I'm looking out to your bag reveal, you wrote a very fun thread so far. I must admit that for now it is just the scarfs for me, bags seem to be a whole different league.
YepYep: You look fantastic with your H Carre. I, too have a lot of 90cm H scarves collection. I'm glad I'm not the only ones who LOVE IT.
Welcome @ Hermes TPF
Welcome @ Hermes TPF
I wish that there was a scarf ring or 'clamp' specially designed for men, to discreetly hold scarves in place. I should just look into some small/strong magnets or something.
The bag is on it's way! I'm tracking it's progress across the seas right now. It's been quite the trip up to this point. I remember my first nervous trip to Hermès about 12 years ago, and being overwhelmed by the elegance. I also remember thinking that this elegance didn't 'fit' me, and that ready-to-wear and leather goods were, like you said, in too high a league. Nevertheless, I walked out with a crush on one particular item, AND another item in the same material as the lining of my upcoming bag, so I feel like I've come full circle. I also feel much more comfortable having made such an investment now that I've just clicked into my 30's, am 'grownup' enough to carry such a thing with confidence, and live the right personal, practical and aesthetic life to warrant it. I feel as if I have earned it.
I could wax lyrical about my thoughts on the parallels of H and life, for hours; but I'll save it for my reveal
Thanks, Hermes Only! It is also from my end great to see some other male scarf lovers. I really think it is not just for ladies, but rather for whoever can pull it off. It is all about attitude, or, as jmzr22 puts it, it is about your personality, your practical day-to-day life and your own aesthetics. It is very interesting to hear you talk like that, jmzr22, since I feel like I am of almost exactly the same opinion about Hermes. Since I interested myself for H a couple of months ago I have only grown in my conviction that there is this grande idea behind Hermes, which connects directly with discussions in modern social and cultural philosophy. There is a point to be made, so to say, against the advancement of mass-produced, disposable consumer goods. As you may have noticed, I have yet to reach my 30's so maybe (or, most probably) I will be awaiting my first bag too in a couple of years. Browsing through Koto Bolofo's 'La Maison' I noticed that what caught my attention with the scarfs, I saw just as much present in the bags. It is only slightly more hidden, more of the added value for bags is in the production process which we normally don't see. Seeing the craftsmen at work made me realize the bags are just as much wonders of beauty, elegance, style and quality as the scarfs are. Okay, enough philosophy for today. Maybe I'll write something up at another point to make myself more clear.
China model turned actor Huang Xiao Ming.. a hermes fan indeed!

My new H...my store hasn't been getting KDT in stock for so long...so I placed a world wide search on either a brown or white with GHW few months ago...so last week while I went in the store with my friend, I saw this black KDT sitting in the show case...of course I couldn't stop my self from getting it...then this week my SA called me and said my white KDT is here...so here it is (I put a little twist in it)
