Reviewed: Wolford Haven Tights

Hosiery retailer Leglicious recently sent us a pair of the Wolford Haven Tights to trial and review.



You can still read our interview with Nicola Forkes, managing director Leglicious.



Packaging

The Wolford Haven Tights are packaged in light card box measuring 24cm x 17cm x 2.5cm. The box is closed with two flaps and a 'quality checked' sticker.



Inside the tights are wrapped around a card rectangle, and then enclosed in tissue paper printed with the Wolford logo.





Materials and features

The Wolford Haven Tights are 60 denier, and made from 92% Polyamid and 8% Elastane.

As can be seen in the pictures, these tights make quite a statement! The key feature is the ribbed Jacquard pattern that provides a two-tone effect in the Carmine/Black colour combination.






Appearance is matte with no shine.

The brief measures 21cm from the waistband to the crotch, where there is a gusset. Seams are flat and expertly engineered.



The waistband is 2.5cm wide and has a Wolford tag sewn inside.



Toes are rounded and without reinforcement.



Sizing, fit and wearing experience

The Wolford Haven Tights are available in four sizes:

• S
• M 
• L
• XL

I wore them in the XL size.



These tights are extraordinarily soft against the skin. They really feel quite luxurious.

Sizing in XL, as always with Wolford was just perfect.

Fit on the leg was exceptional with no wrinkling.The opaque coverage was quite dense for 60 denier. These tights are really quite stretchy, but even in areas like the thigh and calves, the pattern and coverage isn't impaired.

The brief and waistband are also very comfortable. There is plenty of room here for guys, and the waistband stretches well above the hips and waist. Although the waistband is relatively narrow compared with what Wolford are now providing in some of their redesign and relaunched classic products, it holds everything up well without constriction or any discomfort.



Colour range

At Leglicious, the Wolford Haven Tights are available in the Camine/Black combination.

A Black/White version is also available directly from Wolford



Price and availability

The Wolford Haven Tights are available at Leglicious for £29.00.

Conclusion

I absolutely loved these Haven Tights. They are so comfortable that you might not want to take them off.

They are up to the usual Wolford top quality. A lovely design, a perfect fit and an enjoyable wearing experience.

I wouldn't mind getting hold of the Black/White version now too to add to my Wolford collection.
