Italian Renaissance hose (mod. usage: tights) are quite comfortable to wear. Questions, anyone? MGD

I wear Tights all the time....they are real comfy, now that Winter approaches, and even in the Gents now....at the LocaL Pub, One doesn't get a good kicking if You are caught lowering Your Panty Hose at the Urinal. The only Critique I have with your Comfy Tights...Sir...is the Colour....have You ever considered a more Natural Skin Tone.....the Colour You wear will clash with the best Skirts. Bravo.....I applaud You....Sir....now....what else is in Your Closet?

@Tedz - > caught lowering Panty Hose at the Urinal Not a problem ... these are designed to sidestep that concern. Google for "codpiece" to get more details. > Critique ... Tights ... is the Colour When I began taking these pictures, I was wearing a red and black velvet doublet, and thought the tights w/ the B/W stripes went better than the R/W striped tights. Some of the others that I have are kind of dull ... parti-colored but solids. I have little to no sense of what color combinations (clothing) make sense -- if I got called about that at the office, I would said, "I got dressed in the dark." That usually put the discussion off for quite a few days. > the Colour....have You ever considered a more Natural Skin Tone? Huh? ... I have a natural skin tone ... oooops, you meant the tights. No, and Tigger doesn't make them in natural ... Ballet tights, I have seen ... IIRC, the color is called fawn. I thought I could use white ballet tights at Renaissance Faires ... but the dance belt was obvious under the tights. > Colour You wear will clash I am told on good authority that in the Renaissance, people did a lot more experimentation with color combinations than in current era. IMO, it's too bad that idea is not yet back in full swing at business establishments such as Big 5 Accounting firms. > what else is in Your Closet? Did you mean the closet for the cameras? ... Maybe you meant the one for the overcoats? ... Not the pantry -- I don't remember being in a discussion about food. Oh, the clothes closet ... 6 tights; 8 Renaissance shirts; 1 Cavalier shirt; 6 doublets; 4 trews; 2 tunics; 2 great kilts; 2 wee kilts; 2 full length cloaks; 4 business suits; 4 sport jackets; dress shirts; casual shirts; winter shirts; jeans; sweat pants and shirts; shoes; boots; hats ...

always borrowing my tights... That might be inconvient ... not to mention uncomfortable. Maybe he should switch to using tights from T'gertoggs http://www.tgertoggs.com/ -- much more comfortable. > you look quite lovely in stripes :] You are too kind. Thank you. MGD
