Pakage Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 (edited) Tights for blokes: Men warm to 'mantyhose' It's a trend the makers of 1993 spoof movie Robin Hood: Men in Tights, obviously didn't envisage, but the market for men's hosiery has reportedly taken off in recent years. Last month UK department store Selfridges responded to the demand and began stocking (no pun intended) a range of extra-tough tights designed exclusively for men. At £70 (NZ$151) a pair, they're not exactly cheap, but David Walker-Smith, Selfridges' director of menswear and beauty told the UK's Mail Online they would be the stylish man's "secret weapon" this European winter. Dubbed 'mantyhose', Walker-Smith said the 120 denier tights, produced by London label Unconditional, were not only a way to give legs an extra boost of warmth but also a "true style statement". full article -- fags imo. what do you think? would you wear them? I mean, ive worn thermal leggings before when its ultra cold, but these look like synthetic pantyhose, not cotton thermals. And i never exposed them to the light of day, always under long pants. standard. Edited October 7, 2009 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil O Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Whats the difference between these and thermals? Standard issue in Dunedin tbh, but i wouldn't wear them like the gay Robin Hood in that photo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pakage Posted October 7, 2009 Author Share Posted October 7, 2009 as i said, im fine with wearing polyprop thermal leggings when necessary but these are like, actual panty hose. the difference is that thermals are functional, panty hose on a guy is just fkn gay.
