The customary Falke quality is apparent as soon as you open the packet, smooth and flawless. In the hand these tights are silky smooth and soft.
Sheer to waist and finished with a reinforced toe and flat seams in the brief area these tights ooze quality. In the largest size the cotton gusset is replaced with a back panel to give more width. The waistband is about 1.5cm deep and is sewn directly onto the body of the tights with no transition.
Although the legs of these tights did not look very long they stretched very easily, so much so that they were too long for our female testers. They are long in the body too, comfortably reaching the waist of our tallest lady. The size chart does appear to be quite generous so choose your size carefully.
These are incredibly smooth and soft tights that are an absolute delight to wear. They look fantastic too, the shine on the finish giving a really expensive look. Certainly our favourite 70 denier tights.
What a pity the warm weather is almost upon us... buy these now and put them away for the autumn.
Update by Angelika “We took a special look at two autumn colours of this range: aubergine and tea-green. The aubergine colour is definitely more striking, perfect for a night out as well as for a smart look by day. Tea-green is less eye catching but both colours are made with a wonderful lustrous shine, they have that certain something and never look like tights made for just "keeping warm", although they do that job very well.
As for wearing we have to say that they feel delightfully soft and smooth. They doubtlessly deserve their name "Seidenglatt" which is German for "smooth like silk". Even putting them on it is as though they are sliding themselves on.
No matter what colour you choose you will always attract attention with these fantastic quality tights!”
