English gentleman in tights. Geraden.

Now prepare yourself for some serious reading. Geraden’s Blog is a MUST READ for anyone who is interested in tights/pantyhose as a unisex piece of clothes. Public acceptance, facts, advices, history or men’s hosiery , art of packaging are just some of the topics discussed there. But again, be prepared for a SERIOUS reading.

Tighs for Men. Gerbe. Paris.

Gerbe line for men
What an event! Gerbe! Notorious French company started producing pantyhose (or tights) for men! Not just thick cotton stuff like Wolford used to make or wool but 20 den nylon/lycra from other less known manufactures. But …

Yes, but … These “buts” can easily destroy all the joy…

  • Not cheap. At least two times more expensive than analogous “women’s” pantyhose:
    23,19€ for 100% poliamide
    28,50€ for poliamide/lycra
    34,90€ for 70den.
    I don’t believe that the quality is so superior to “women’s” tights. 15-20€ for the “front opening”?
  • Only two colours. Beige (tan) or black.

Yes, some men will begin to buy The Real Pantyhose for Men with a big sigh of relief, but I believe that the rest (like me) will stay away from the overpriced models. The result could be the same as with Wolford’s men’s tights – “The product is discontinued”.

“Pantyhose sales to men are heading sky-high”

Have a look at the article on Talahasee.com:

… Yes, while women’s pantyhose sales have been in a freefall for about a decade, pantyhose sales to men are heading sky-high…

And do not forget the comments:

Finally an article that appears positive to the cause of “Men Wearing Pantyhose” I have been wearing pantyhose for quite a few years, but it’s only been about 2-years since I have had the courage to wear them out and about and with shorts. I wear them to work everyday and without socks. If women don’t want to wear them then I guess it’s up to us gentlemen to keep the hosiery industry in business.

What can I say? Good tendency again!

Bound in the data centre

Girl in pantyhose and mini skirt bound by cables in a data centre rack A couple of days ago when pulling cables under floor in our data centre, I suddenly lost balance and fell on a thick bunch of patch cords under the floor tiles. Instead of a standard procedure (cursing, getting out, cursing, stretching out on the floor again, cursing, trying to reach that cable dangling behind the huge power outlet two tiles away, etc.) I imagined myself wearing thin pantyhose, hight-heels, leotard or body with long sleeves, mini-skirt, gagged, bound with these twisted pairs and tied down to one of the racks behind a glass door…
