From The Hermès Fall-Winter 1982/83 Seasonal Scarf Booklet: The artist dedicated this interlacing to the Cavalcadour, the king's squire who watched over his stables and escorted him on every outing.
From The Hermès Fall-Winter 2011/12 Seasonal Scarf Booklet: Cavalcadour, troubladore, rhyming words but worlds apart. While one employs his talents to delight ladies of the Court with his poems, the other reigns over the stables of kings and princes. Cavalcadour, on silk, is a cavalcade of bridles that swirl and intertwine like ribbons. Adorned with exquisitely crafted buckles of fleurs de lvs and the crown of France, these bridles are inspired by the tack of the horses of the Comte de Chambord, grandson of Charles X and son of the Duc de Berry, last of the ancient line of the Bourbons. Borrowing these bridles for the collection of Emile Hermes, the designer creates bits and spurs in a composition whispered in his ear by the cavalcadour equerry.

Size Guide
- Twilly: small but mighty, use it like a typical scarf, as a bag handle, as a belt, and more.
- 45cm: this is the typical pocket square size, will fit around the neck like a bandana.
- 55cm: this is the bandana size typically printed in 3 colors to look like a traditional bandana.
- 70cm: this is a great option for petites and they are typically made out of a lighter weight silk than any of the other formats.
- 90cm: this is the classic Hermès scarf size. It's very versatile and if you're looking at any vintage photos, this is the scarf size that's worn.
- 140cm: the largest size of the bunch, almost reaching 5 ft. It's hard to capture the scale in photos but these are incredible as a lightweight shawl in the summer, or folded for a warmer feel in the winter.
- Shawls & Other Sizes: there are a few styles that Hermès does not make every season which are just as lovely and fit into this category.
