Selfridges launches 'mantyhose' - tights for men

[nick]

Tee hee, now this is less serious (I shant be buying any!).....

Selfridges is selling a new range of tights for men dubbed “mantyhose” in response to soaring demand for the leg wear.

The tights, priced £70 a pair, are made by lingerie brand Unconditional and are a tough 120 denier thickness.

However, those hoping to recreate the Errol Flynn look will be disappointed – they are only available in black, beige and charcoal.

The boom in sales represents a comeback for tights in men’s wardrobes after a two-century hiatus.

This will fail astronomically before Christmas, I can say that much. Might be a hit in San Francisco though :P
