The leather bands are quite supple. Honestly I am a bit surprised you think the Twill Jump is too stiff. They are not as supple as the leather bands. But, compared to the Jumping bands, I would describe them as almost flimsy. I am becoming less of a fan of my Twill Jump the more I wear it. The Jumping bands are a little bit more of a hassle to put on. But they feel much sturdier on the wrist and don't slide around the lug bars either.

But, the leather is softer and more supple than either the Twill Jump or the Jumping bands for sure.
I found that even getting the excess band into the two loops, it required me to really bend the band and getting it out again wasn't very elegant looking either. I really liked the look (even if a bit boring) of the noir/gold Twill Jump, the stiffness of the band had put me off it entirely.

Now I've been spoiled by Kilim's deployment band, but I'm not overly keen on the orange that I have, it's a shame noir isn't available on Apple's UK site at the moment. Or I could get an leather one from eBay, I've seen a nice noir single tour but just regular buckle.

What are the leather bands like in terms of suppleness compared to a Kilim? I have that atm so that's my point of reference..

I have a Gold single tour and a Rouge Circuit leather band. They are both VERY supple. Enjoyingly so if that makes sense. Like you, I have an Orange Kilim (I like the colour), and am spoilt now by the deployment buckle. The leather is a lot more supple than the Kilim IMO, though hard to compare as one is leather and the other isn't.

With regards to the Jumping bands, I have a Kraft/Orange and that is very stiff and a Rouge/Sellier and that is a lot softer. My Toile H is softer still.

I wish now that I have been introduced to them that all of my bands were deployment.

Would that also include a restock of existing colours, I traded the orange in for kaki as the colour just didn't suit me at all, I really wanted noir though.

I imagine if say they add to the Kilim range, the 'old' colours may come back into stock as they wont be as much in demand. IMO it would be rare (actually unheard of) for them to pull a colour in the Spring that was introduced a few months earlier.

I feel Orange and Noir will be staples that stick around much like with the leather, maybe Noir can be refreshed with SBSS hardware though. The SBSS variant of the Noir Attelage band dropped in the Spring so it’s happened before.

Still hard to top this band. Love the way Saphir glows when the sun hits it!

Switzerland clearly holding a grudge against Jony Ive’s former company for his spicy comment when the S0 launched.

Need to submit this to the MR front page but I’ll share here first, footage of the kilim workshop:

Love that band! The orange pops soooo good against the contrast edging & keeper loops. I've been on the fence with the new Toile H band, but I might like this one better...

It’s my favorite band!!!!!

I ordered on Tues night and it'll be here tomorrow already! Hermes with the fast free shipping. I honestly don't even know how I got the order in...I refreshed the page, saw it was available, made the purchase, and then like an hour later it was off the website. The orange Kilim was meant to be for sure.

In the meantime, I have been enjoying this Orange/Kaki Twill Jump Single Tour the last few days....
