Reviewed: Wolford Individual 10 Tights

I like publishing Wolford reviews as they get so many hits from readers. Plus also it's a pleasure reviewing anything from Wolford,



In this review we focus on the Wolford Individual 10 Tights in XL and XXL sizes.



Here's how Wolford describe them:

"Comfortably soft: These tights feature double-entwined elastane that stretches with every movement. The reinforced panty section provides optimal comfort even in larger sizes, and the soft waistband guarantees a perfect fit."

Packaging

The packaging is the standard one for Wolford tights. The tights are folded around a rectangular card that showcases other Wolford products. This is then enclosed in the outer card. Everything is then protected in a thin cellophane sleeve.





As with all Wolford products, the checking and quality control is at a very high level. We learnt about this when visiting the Wolford HQ in Bregenz, Austria, last year. You can read our visit reports here and here.

In the packaging of all Wolford products you will find a 'certificate of quality' sticker. This is your guarantee that the product has been rigorously checked.



Material and features

The Wolford Individual 10 Tights are made from 81% Polyamide and 19% Elastane.

As you remove them carefully from the packaging you notice immediately how light they are, and also how soft they feel.

The XL size is sheer to waist. However the XXL size has a reinforced panty/brief with a very clear demarcation to the leg.

Both sizes have flat seams, a cotton gusset and no rear comfort panel.

In the XL size the depth of the brief (from top of the waistband to crotch) is 23cm. The XXL size is slightly deeper at 26cm.

Both XL and XXL sizes have a knitted waistband which has Wolford lettering stitched into it.



In XL, the waistband is 3cm wide with a 5cm finger band running below it. In XXL the waistband measures 4cm and there is no finger band. This has not been included because in this larger size the whole panty is reinforced.

As is customary, a Wolford tag has been sewn onto the inside of the waistband.



Toes have barely visible shadow toe reinforcement.

Colour range

The Wolford Individual 10 Tights are available in sixteen shades:

• Caramel
• Coca
• Honey
• Mocca
• Cosmetic
• Gobi
• Sand
• Fairly Light
• Admiral
• Dark Navy
• Black
• Nearly Black
• Steel
• Fog
• Saba
• Soft Sable

I wore them in the Gobi shade.



Sizing, fit and wearing experience

The Wolford Individual 10 Tights are available in six sizes: XS, S, M, L, XL and XXL.



For this review I wore them in both the XL and XXL sizes.

These tights are quite delicate, so handle with care. I managed to snag one pair although the tiny hole made didn't turn into a run.

With 19% double-entwined elastane Elastane in the yarn they have incredible stretch and elasticity. Appearance is matt.



In the XL size, fit was absolutely perfect. As with almost all Wolford tights, the brief stretched comfortably over the hips and waist.

The XXL size is designed for heights up to 6'3". Although I am 5'10", I actually found the XXL an even more comfortable fit. There is significantly more length to the leg, and the brief comes up much higher over the waist.



In both sizes the feeling when wearing the Individual 10s was great, and provided that second skin effect.

Price and availability

The Wolford Individual 10 Tights are priced at £27.00.

You can purchase directly from the Wolford online store, as well as retailers such as UK Tights, Luxury Legs and The Tight Spot.






Conclusion

The Wolford Individual 10 Tights are really quite luxurious. They are light, soft and breathe well. They come in a wide range of shades and having both XL and XXL size options are a definite positive for men.

Outstanding quality as always from Wolford.

Recommended.
