I too was very disappointed in the quality of the Bridon band. Sent it back to Apple Saturday. Just bought the khaki Kilim instead.

I like the Kaki more than the navy to be honest. But I have so many green items of clothing and accessories and the like haha
Like you mentioned, the fact that it’s only made for 45mm makes it slightly more special than the navy
I will post pics of the Khaki on my SBSS Series 9 when I get it. Not until the end of October. I have always loved the color Khaki. I just couldn’t decide plus I like getting them from Apple, easier return policy than Hermes. The only Hermes band I ever returned was the Bridon. Just didn’t like that quality. Since I haven’t been feeling well from the cellulitis, I get to band shop all the time. lol.
Congrats on your 45mm, what a beautiful watch with the Khaki band. I think it’s the perfect size. I am a girl and have do not have skinny wrists and my Rolex Datejust is 36mm and I have always always like a larger watch way before it became fashionable to do so.

Very nice! I'd love them to release this in 41mm one day, but I won't hold my breath...

Ask and you shall receive!
(I noticed that the hermes circles had a protective cover on them AFTER taking the pictures. That’s why it looks like there is a contact lens on them. Too lazy to retake the pics but this should hopefully help.

It looks amazing, I have a few questions:
- Does it show the Magsafe Logo when you put the wallet on?
- Does it have a thingy that will stop your card from sliding even with just 1 card? (Like how apple have a springy card stopper)
No the phone does nothing, it's completely inactive. I can't see anything on the inside, but I just tried with one card and shaking it around the card stayed put.
The versatility of the Kilim is fantastic, as it really is a do-all and go-anywhere strap. Love the premium feel and the little bit of extra heft with the deployment buckle. I still love my Hermès leather and Jumping bands, but this is definitely my new favorite.
The cloud de selle looks amazing.
It’s now sold out on the Hermès AU website :/
@btrach144 will you keep the bridon? Did you or another member mention that this is smaller than the other bands and you need to use one or two holes larger than usual?

I agree with you 1000000%%%%. Love love love mine. Have the orange, rouge and ordered the khaki today for my SBBS Hermes’s Series 9. The Kilim is the best band this season imo.
Now I want the black and navy!! Once they are back in stock on Apple in 45mm I will be ordering both and will have them all. I just know this is my go to band!!!

I am keeping the Bridon 100%. I am even going to pick up the noir. It’s a very cozy band.
It does fit smaller IMO. I’m on the fourth smallest hole (normally second smallest hole).
How floppy is the bridon? Like hold it by the lug and swing it, or fold it on itself? Imagining it like a cozy sweater with no rigidity
I found the Bridon to be very floppy when I put it on before sending it back. I actually had a hard time putting it on the watch for this reason. The material was bunching up to one side. Just could imagine it wearing and maybe every tearing. Since it is cloth or knit like in a sense.
I found the band easy to put on because both the loops are fixed into place. So the loops are in the same place every time you put in on. No more inching the loops forward each time you put it on.
As for the rigidness, it I held it up by just the lug upright for 1 minute and it didn’t flop to one side or the other. I then held it out sideways for 1 minute and it didn’t bend over either. Both pictures were taken after roughly a minute.
It’s a very tight weave but cozy sweater fabric.
It’s Hermes quality for sure.

Well my new phone bricked my sss45 so I’ll be sure to make an appointment at the Hermes-rated Apple Store and meet all the new fuzzies and try to report live
And it means I’ll get gold s4 and all the very specific bands I have for it back in the mix. But also no love for the ultra bands I’ve yoinked except blue ocean.
In another life I would “rent” an ultra for 13 days haha
I’m fairly certain, for totally not sexist reasons, the 41mm bands have more of a taper and are more narrow than Apple’s.
Does my little eye spy an Orange Kilim??????
How do you like it????? I love it on your wrist!!!!
