Finally!!!
M Stockings are available

thigh high and then some, M stockings have arrived!
after weeks of talking about them and days of working on their pictures and page I finally have them up. These are being custom made here in the states in small batches with more colors already on their way.
I’ve been testing these alot the past few weeks since I first got the samples, I’ve washed one from each style in cold and hung them to dry while I washed their partners in warm and used the dryer (I did this three times for maximum shrinkage testing). The ribbed solid colors are acrylic and the shrinkage was barely noticeable especially after I put them on. The cotton stripes shrunk up a few inches though neither seemed to lose any width, now here’s the important part…
they are not a wide thighed style and even on me had to pulled over my 19 inch thighs with care but once they are on they are as comfy as could be and stayed up really well, especially the ribbed ones (I think the ribbed would stay up through just about any activity). I am hoping to get these in a wider size and the supplier is looking for the necessary equipment (never as easy as it sounds but they are trying so don’t ask me “when???” because I don’t know yet either).
red M stockings
These are alot like the otk cotton stripes and kilt socks we already have except they are longer and come from a different supplier, they are not as thick as the longsocks and are made by an entirely different type of machine (I’ll have a little more info on that in coming days).
tangerine stripes from your toes to your thighs
I could talk about these for days and I just know I missed mentioning something important in the paragraphs above so if you have questions feel free to click on comments and let us know…

Wide Striped Tights

THESE TIGHTS ROCK!!!!!

Shown above with camera-hogging Frank and the Grey and Black otk striped socks (sooo comfy and stretchy enough for larger feet), the new Wide Stripes in Hot Pink and Black are wonderful!!! I wore them for an active day of shopping at the mall and running errands, and didn’t have a single problem. They’re stretchy enough for larger and taller sizes, but still retain a great amount of opacity and vibrant color! They didn’t slip down or snag and stood the day’s tests with a comfort factor that made me want to wear them even at home.

Their label says: 5′~5′10″ 100~175 lbs. We totally agree and then some. Guys and girls over 6′ should still be able to comfortably wear these tights without any icky stretched-out look to them, AND these fit the bill for low-rise, too, ending up just below the navel on taller peeps, and at the waist for those of you smaller stripes-lovers out there. I rate these tights a total A+ on every aspect!!!! WHEE!!!
