From The Hermès Fall-Winter 1993/94 Seasonal Scarf Booklet: In the old days, horses ridden in battle were so strong that they could withstand the terrible crashes once painted by Uccello, which would break our modern mounts to bits. Later on, the descendants of those proud chargers were hitched to carriages, then to plows, and even to beer wagons. In their harnesses they dreamed of their long-lost glory. Here, two English shires, surrounded by percherons, other shires and clydesdales.
From The Hermès Spring-Summer 1996 Seasonal Scarf Booklet: With their massive stature and stalwart necks, here are the Percherons, the Clydesdales and the Shires parading in a ring, within a frame of martingales, or chest straps, adorned with the horse-brasses so beloved of English harness-makers. These heavy horses are the descendants of the battle chargers of olden times and if their valour in modern times has been confined to agricultural tasks, transport and commerce, their pride has yet remained intact.
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.
