Our Review

When we first saw these tights we remembered that in the past we had seen Hounds Tooth Tights from Jonathan Aston, so what is the difference? Well it seems that dogs have smaller teeth!

Two sizes are available and four very bright colours Ochre (yellow), Peacock (Green), Jewel-Pink and Velvet-Purple, quite a change from the one size back&white hounds tooth.

There is some question about the denier of these tights, the packet says nothing, UKTights say 40 and MyTights say 60 denier. These tights feel quite heavy, this is in part due to the fact that two colours of yarn are used and there is a textured to the fabric; quite smooth on the outside but noticeably “fluffy” on the inside, we would say the look and feel is more 60 denier.

 Construction is very simple with straight legs and an unlined gusset. The pattern runs from the toe seams to the plain waistband.

If ever there was a pair of tights that needed to be on your legs to be fully appreciated then this is it.  They feel warm and comfortable and fit very well.  The pattern being knitted in rather than printed on maintains definition and intensity of colour when stretched.  The Peacock shade that we tested looks particularly sophisticated and being less vibrant that the other colours is suitable for wear anywhere and anytime.

For just a few pennies short of £10 we would have liked to have seen flat seams but that is a small grumble.

One of the best products that we have seen from Jonathan Aston and one that promises to be a wardrobe regular throughout the winter.
