It’s extremely narrow on the lugs. The product images all showed it as taking up the lug. It’s also too short. And it’s too narrow.
Basically the dimensions are way too wrong. It’s like the took a 41mm band and attached it to a 45mm lugs.
Got a tip for us?

Ok, it just looks like the tricot is the same in your photo.
I think I prefer the Bridon as is, the Chevron being wider than the standard Hermes width would look weird.
Not unlike the Noir, the Blanc feels just ok to me. I’m pretty sure I’ll return it. It does look very pretty in the pic in box though.
I bet the telemetry apple gets on how little most users fiddle with the watchface colors is scary to us switchers. The faces are clearly designed with love but when it gets to the more basic stability and editor engineering, it’s clearly a very low-status task within the company.
Color me not thrilled that the Modular face has the normal cosmetic for the new colors and not the dope contrast and gradient background like fall.
I'm thinking that is one of the few bands that may pop more on the SS - you have a SB?
I'm tempted still as I love a white band in the summer, but I am worried (as I was before I actually got my orange Kilim) that this one may look a bit too rubber if that makes sense.
For those who received the Tricot—how would you rank the durability of the material and knit? My fear is that I would snag the band on something and it would unravel or damage easily.
I received my Bleu Celeste Kilim and not thrilled by the color IRL; might exchange for the Tricot.

Yes, that’s definitely possible, but I think it’s more likely the bit too rubber thing. The orange and navy don’t read as rubber to me in the same way the noir and blanc do.
Just picked up my Blanc Kilim and it definitely reads more rubbery.
Reminds me of the sport bands for the fancier non-Apple Hermès watches though so I’m all for it.
No offense to those who are enjoying their white bands but this one was a pass for me.
It’s tightly woven. Overall I think there is durability. My concern becomes with sweat and water. They claim it’s water resistant. But will it need to be cleaned? I have yet to wear my bridon’s or tricot enough for them to start smelling, if they do smell.
Kilim is still #1 for durability.
Waiting for pictures with the SBSS watchJust picked up my Blanc Kilim and it definitely reads more rubbery.

Can def see that. My mechanical diving watches all have a rubber band as well - and its def an aesthetic.
This new band release is insane. I haven’t had my best week this week and just found out about the new bands right now. Jaw dropping. Whoever keeps saying Hermes and Apple are done, I beg to differ by the amount of new bands being released for spring. I am not sure but it seems like it’s the most I have ever seen. Definitely getting the blue kilm. I love all the leather ones. All the bands are just Incredible.
Glad to see you’re back. I was starting to get worried that we hadn’t heard from you with the release of two new Kilim bands.
Hope all is well.
I put on my blue Kilim today with the release of 10.4 update and matching blue font. The Kilim is bold 😂
Thank you. Yes I have had some personal matters going on and came on today and was so shocked and happy to see the new bands. Thank tou for caring about not seeing me, I appreciate it. Yes I still love my kilm and will order the blue. Not much of a fan of the white one. Can’t wait until everyone gets their orders. Way to go Hermes for a beautiful Spring release!!
Received my Bleu Céleste - Hermès Elastomer/Kilim Single Tour 41mm on Tuesday. Love the color.
Can anyone help me out? I‘m thinking of getting a (now discontinued) Rouge H Kilim for a „regular“ Watch and need to know if it (or which one) will fit.
Has anyone with a SS Hermes got a Blanc Kilim? As mentioned before I feel it may look too rubbery, but I love a white band in the summer months.
that white kilm reminds me of those G watches what were they called in the early 2000s
