Reviewed: Comfort4Men 50 Denier Luxury Men's Tights

I have reviewed several styles of Comfort4Men men's tights at Hosiery For Men, several including:

40 Denier Men's Support Tights

60 Denier Luxury Men's Tights

70 Denier Opaque Men's Tights

80 Denier Opaque Men's Tights



Comfort4Men men's tights are made in Germany to the very highest standards. They are a high quality product specifically designed to provide an excellent fit and level of comfort for the male anatomy. Comfort4Men men's tights are definitely not women's tights repackaged for men, nor unisex tights.

Comfort4Men recently sent me a pair of the C418M 50 Denier Luxury Men's Tights to review. These tights are part of the Comfort4Men Luxury range.

Luxury tights

Of their Luxury tights, Comfort4Men say that:

"You will be thrilled by the unique ultra-smoothness and velvety-softness. Just touch and feel it - the silky lustre speaks for itself."


Choosing Comfort4Men Luxury Tights.
I have written before about the extensive range of features, styles and shades that are available when ordering tights from Comfort4Men.

The C418M 50 Denier Luxury Men's Tights come in high waist and low waist styles.

You can then choose to have the tights with or without a fly opening, as well as choosing whether the gusset in either Skin or Black colour. There is a choice of three shades, and finally a choice of sizes: 4 (low waist only), 5, 6, 7 and 7+.
The style of C418M 50 Denier Luxury Men's Tights I chose had the following features:
  • High waist
  • Colour: Black
  • Gusset colour: Black
  • Fly opening: Yes
  • Size: 6



Materials and features
The C418M 50 Denier Luxury Men's Tights are packaged simply in a card enclosure that is protected by a cellophane sleeve.



This Comfort4Men style is made from 86% Polyamide and 14% Elastane.

The fabric is indeed luxuriously soft and sensual to the touch. The 3D microfibre fabric has a high degree of elasticity and tights have plenty of stretch. Heels are shaped.

The C418M 50 Denier Luxury Men's Tights are quite shiny in appearance. They are not completely opaque, but if put on carefully the coverage is even throughout.



The tights are sheer to waist. Seams are flat throughout and are engineered to the usual high Comfort4men standard. The brief has a rear comfort panel. The waistband is 4cm wide and very comfortable.

Like all Comfort4Men tights, the gusset and crotch area has been carefully designed to be comfortable for the male anatomy. The fly opening (should you chose for it to be included) is extremely well-designed and also easy to use. There is no need to fiddle about with the opening when going to the bathroom.



My preference is always for the high waist styles in Comfort4Men tights. These provide plenty of room and ensure the tights stretch well above the waist if required.

Fit and sizing
As mentioned above, the C418M 50 Denier Luxury Men's Tights are available in a range of sizes: 4 (low waist only), 5, 6, 7 and 7+


These tights need to be put on carefully to ensure that the fabric is smoothed and stretched evenly.

The fit was excellent with a snug fit to every part of the legs and waist. The soft fabric feels wonderful next to the skin.

The silky, shiny quality of the fabric provides excellent glide under trousers.

The high waist style provides plenty of room in the brief and the waistband can be stretched above the waist easily without straining the fabric.

On a very cold day, I found that these tights provided warmth but did not overheat the legs. There was no uncomfortable, sweaty feeling as the fabric seems to breathe well.

Colour range

The C418M 50 Denier Luxury Men's Tights are available in three colours: Black, Dark Brown and Navy.

I tested a pair in Black.



C418M 50 Denier Luxury Tights in Dark Brown with Skin gusset



C418M 50 Denier Luxury Tights in Navy with Black gusset

Price and availability

The C418M 50 Denier Luxury Men's Tights cost €41.75 plus shipping. Shipping rates vary depending on the destination.

For countries outside of the European Union, German value added tax is not payable. This is removed automatically during the order process.

Conclusion

The C418M 50 Denier Luxury Men's Tights are a superb product. I keep being surprised again and again at how good Comfort4men tights are.

As soon as I put them on, I thought 'wow!' The fabric is so soft and smooth and the fit was excellent. It felt like these tights had been tailored perfectly just to fit me.

The high elasticity provides a very snug fit, with the tights moulding themselves to your legs.

Highly recommended.

Just arrived: Comfort4Men 60 denier luxury tights for men

Last month I posted my first review of Comfort4Men tights for men. I tested the 70 denier opaque tights. This review attracted almost a record number of page views.

Comfort4Men have now sent me a different model for review - the 60 denier luxury tights.

  

After reading the news that Gerbe might be discontinuing their range of men's tights, it is great that there are retailers like Comfort4Men who are still committed to providing quality hosiery for men.

Reviewed: Comfort4Men 70 Denier Men's Opaque Tights

I was recently kindly provided with a sample pair of the Comfort4Men men's tights from Germany.

I would say that the thought and care which has gone into the design and production of these tights is remarkable. It is clear that every detail has been considered, to ensure that the final product is one that is perfectly adapted for the male anatomy. The health and wellbeing needs of men buying these tights have also been considered.

The Comfort4Men website provides some interesting background information about why their men's tights were developed:

"I worked in the fashion branch for many years and was always surprised that fashion and health care products such as support tights were only ever made for women. Support stockings and support tights would also help men to get through the day more comfortably if they have to sit or stand.

My story begins with a relative who suffered a serious thrombosis. From this point on he needed to wear medical compression tights. As no difference in fit was made between women and men, they were very uncomfortable to wear, particularly in the genital region. Up to this point in time apparently no-one had troubled to find a solution for this problem. This was the basis for my idea.

Tights are ‘unisex’. Although in the world of fashion women have ‘taken over’ tights, they were originally exclusively men’s clothing. Today there is no reason why a man should not wear tights."


Another unique feature of Comfort4Men is that you can 'individually design' your tights using features from several variants. As you can see in the picture below, you can choose between 40, 60, 70, 80 and 140 denier, as well as a choice of compression support. There are also low and high waist options and a choice of shades. Not only that, there is also a choice of gusset colour and whether you want a fly opening or not.

It is really laudable that a manufacturer has shown such a commitment to the men's tights market.

It was quite a task to choose a pair of these tights to review but I eventually went for the C405M model:

  • 70 denier
  • High waist
  • Dark brown
  • Black gusset
  • No fly opening


Materials and features
The tights I tested are 70 denier but looked more like 80 denier. They are very (but not totally) opaque but not very heavy or too hot to wear. They are made from 90% Polyamide and 10% Elastane. The material is extremely soft.

The tights have an extremely comfortable 4cm waistband. The toe is reinforced and has a comfortable flat seam.

The gusset, crotch area has a flat seam and is made from very soft, comfortable material. This area also stretches to accommodate the male anatomy. A rear comfort panel also provides further comfort and ensure the tights fit well.

When worn the tights have a very slight sheen.

Fit and sizing
The tights come in three sizes: 4, 5 and 6.

I am 5' 10" and tested a pair in size 6. 



The fit was perfect. I have worn these tights on several occasions now and they are incredibly comfortable. In fact, they are so comfortable that when I put them on I feel as if I have a pair of bespoke tights that have been personally designed just for me.

The high Elastane content means that they cling extremely well to the legs and don't need pulling up during the day. They glide well under trousers.

Colour range

The 70 denier opaque tights are available six colours: Black, Dark Brown, Indigo, Kobalt, Natur and Navy.

Price and availability

These tights cost €38.80 plus shipping. For non-European countries the price is €32.61. Shipping rates vary depending on the destination.

Conclusion

Despite their relatively high cost I would give these tights the highest recommendation. The care that has gone into their design has paid off and these are genuinely tights made for men, as opposed to some brands of 'unisex' tights. They are robustly made and will last for a long time so one would get plenty of wear out of them.

The price of these tights is comparable to the men's tights made by Gerbe. I would say they are as good as Gerbe if not better. If you are a man and haven't worn tights before, try these and you will be converted immediately.
