>I still find it disturbing that you think women enjoy wearing hosiery. Considering how many young women and college girls wear tights for casual wear, I find it disturbing you have this viewpoint. >The high end hosier is made out of silk Since when? This hasn't been true for decades. I challenge you to find any women's hosiery still made of silk. All the really high-end stuff like Wolford is made of nylon (+spandex of course), just like the cheap stuff.

> Considering how many young women and college girls wear tights for casual wear, I find it disturbing you have this viewpoint. Comparing hosiery to tights is not even remotely the same thing. Tights/Leggings are basically soft stretchable skinny pants. You don't wear skirts with them. Not to mention they often don't even have nylon in them (it is spandex)!!! I haven't even gone into the years of sexist oppression associated with hosiery. You know wearing high heels and skirts. Maybe I'm wrong though as I'm old. You seem to have a better idea what women like to wear. Maybe hosiery is in for comeback. > Since when? Ahh just google it but I confess the reality is most woman don't wear hosiery anymore so it doesn't really matter.

  >Comparing hosiery to tights is not even remotely the same thing. WTF are you talking about? Hosiery and tights are the same thing; tights are just the thicker opaque versions. Yes, they absolutely ARE worn with skirts/dresses. And yes, they do have nylon; nothing is made with 100% spandex, that's just plain ridiculous. Please go learn a little more about clothing before making such ridiculous and false statements. >Ahh just google it but I confess the reality is most woman don't wear hosiery anymore so it doesn't really matter. Only in your warped perception of the world. Just because you state something as true doesn't make it so.

    > WTF are you talking about? Hosiery and tights are the same thing; tights are just the thicker opaque versions. Apparently I was confused with what are considered tights these days [1]. You knew I didn't mean 100% for the spandex. I mentioned over and over in threads it is a key component in making almost any garment extra stretchy but very little has to be added. You can have spandex cotton garments for example. > Please go learn a little more about clothing before making such ridiculous and false statements. Thanks for being rude. As a male I admit I'm a often confused with female clothing terms. I decided to amazon "tights" to "learn" a little. I must admit the opaque tights which are obviously to be worn with skirts (which I refer to as hosiery) do have nylon. But the tights I'm referring too that are often worn with out skirt seem to not have nylon in them. https://www.amazon.com/Vero-Monte-Womens-Knitted-Patterned/dp/B01KO93JEA/ref=sr_1_13?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1489439376&sr=1-13&nodeID=1040660&keywords=tights https://www.amazon.com/Vero-Monte-Womens-Knitted-Patterned/d... > Only in your warped perception of the world. Just because you state something as true doesn't make it so. I just don't see women wearing hosiery aka panty house (and I'm not talking about tights and yes there is difference see link). Overall my point is nylon is added because it is strong and not because it comfortable. But how about we just settle on I'm a moron and you are correct? After all I said it was only my opinion on nylon being uncomfortable and that I have heard the same sentiment from others.

      >After all I said it was only my opinion on nylon being uncomfortable and that I have heard the same sentiment from others. Yes, and I've heard the exact same thing about wool, and it's in fact my opinion too (that wool is itchy and scratchy and uncomfortable), but somehow you seem to think wool is the most comfortable thing on the planet. But of course, there's wool defenders out there who keep trying to claim that wool is wonderful, but everything I've ever touched that was made of wool was the same, to some degree. Maybe you shouldn't go around proclaiming what is and isn't "comfortable" like you know what 100% of the human population will find comfortable.
