RED, WHITE, AND...BLACK!

While you're still recuperating from your 4th of July weekend, here are two Hermes Sport shirts for you to savor. The first one is a woven pull-over in a cotton/polyester blend. It exudes the same timeless appeal found in every Hermes design. It's edge-finished in red and white, a color combination that's always strikingly bold. The second is a polo in white and black, a fashion staple representing the utmost in tradition. Yet this luxuriously soft polo takes tradition a step further with its weaved printed design forming a multitude of hexagon shapes. We feel a closer look at this uncommon print would do it more justice (check out the last image below). Red, white, and black never looked so cool!

STONED!

The idea of mixing the words "stoned" and "Hermes" in the same sentence may shock a few of our blog fans, but let us explain ourselves. We get "high" on Hermes and when presented with the lethal combo of a stone colored suede late 60s trench coat that has been masterfully designed by Hermes and lined in a cashmere/wool jersey H pattern lining, we are ready for Hazelden! There are trench coats and then there are TRENCH COATS. This is the ultimate trench coat in the softest of suede with a lean and long silhouette with high arm holes and a slight bracelet sleeve length. Not only is the coat made beautifully (that's a given as it is Hermes of Paris), but the pattern of the coat is feminine and functional. Vintage suede trench coats from Hermes do not grow on trees and even more unusual is to acquire one in a light suede color that is also in extremely good condition for a 40-plus year old coat. It really doesn't get any better than a trench coat designed by Hermes in glove-soft suede. Some may get high off champagne or cocaine, but we get a kick out of this Hermes trench coat. Cole Porter could have written a stanza about this treasure!

HERMES SPORT

Decades has long-coveted designs from the 1960s and 1970s under the "Hermes Sport" label. The brown suede coat below with matching skirt was purchased at the flagship Hermes boutique in Paris in the early 1960s. The original owner accompanied her grandmother, who was married to an Oscar-winning actor, on a Paris shopping spree and this was one of her prized mementos from that holiday. The coat is a timeless design with a teddy faux-fur lining and pewter-hued buttons engraved "Hermes Paris." The coordinating classic A-line skirt features a bridal leather equestrian motif decorative attached belt. In spectacular condition and fresh from a gentle dry cleaning by Arrow Cleaners, this coat is sure to become a family heirloom. However, we like to think all purchases from Decades are future heirlooms!
