Fogal Noblesse Tights

Pantyhose of finest 11 denier stretch yarn, reinforced classic panty, comfortable waistband, silk gusset, knitted in heel, looped toe.

Our Review

Made in 5 sizes these tights are unusually expensive for a Lycra free tight with a reinforced panty.  Detailing that you expect on tights at less than 10% of the price.

Opening the packet reveals a very light and sheer tight with the look and feel of a classic nylon stocking.

The toes are lightly reinforced and the heel is a fully shaped lightly reinforced knitted heel.

The sheer legs are attached to a boxer style brief of heavier weight that is finished with flat seams. Sizes 3-5 have a comfort gusset, unusually this still has the silk gusset, lesser brands delete the lining with the comfort gusset.Leg length looks very good even in size 3 (Large)

11 Denier, 98 % Nylon, 2 % Silk, Price: £35.50

The lack of Lycra significantly reduces stretch but the size 3 can fit a 32” leg. Fit is excellent with no bagging at the ankle or knee.  The look and feel is classic nylon stocking, hard and smooth finish rather than a soft one, the very sound when you cross your legs adds to the impression of classic nylon stockings.

The panty although well detailed and finished with a good quality waistband was rather loose fitting for our tastes, our tester felt that the tights were likely to slide down in wear.  Going up two more sizes to get fractionally more leg length would exacerbate this problem as the panty gets bigger.

Very elegant, smart tights but way over priced for what they are.
