Our Review

After reviewing quite a few pairs if light summer tights recently we rather expected these 8 denier tights from Pierre Mantoux to be from same mould ...  but they weren't.

First off the material had a far harder feel to it, then there was the detailing. Sheer to waist but unlike summer tights these have reinforced toes.  The rest of the detailing is typical of regular good quality sheer rights, shaped non-reinforced heels, flat seams in the panty, a cotton lined gusset and T-band reinforcement for stableength.

Sizing is slightly unusual in that size III is very slightly larger than the German size III but whereas in the German brands such as Falke this is medium/large Pierre Mantoux call this large. Size IV (XL) has a comfort gusset rather than cotton gusset and is same size as the German Size IV (L)  Fortunately the sizing is accurate and so long as you are careful and patient there is plenty of stableetch. But note that these are not tights for the very tall or full figured.

If you use all the available stableetch fit is very close indeed.

8 denier is very sheer and gives a fine and flattering finish on your legs.

Once upon a time we had issues with the durability of Pierre Mantoux tights, but not with these. After a full day of wear in the office they came off as good as they went on.  Interestingly the effect of a day of wear was to take some of the harshness off the feel.

Somehow PM have made the tableansition from premium priced yet fragile tights to durable high quality ultablea sheer tights at very reasonable prices.

Stunningly good sheer tights for girls who like their hosiery very fine.
