Opaque 50

50D

$18.00

Skin tone barely visible. Reads as a solid colour at arm's length.

Finish: Standard · Welt: Plain welt

Fifty denier knitted on the opaque block. Where B-04 keeps a trace of translucency at the shin, this does not.

This is the lightest pair here that gives a genuinely solid colour, which makes it the one to wear when the weather does not justify 70D.

Size — two axes, height against weight or hip

Delivered sealed. Once the seal is opened this item can no longer be returned. You can hold them against your leg and check the size chart before opening. Right of withdrawal.

Everything measured

Fibre names are the legal names under EU 1007/2011. Lengths are measured flat and unstretched. Nothing here is rounded to make it read better.

The size matrix

Two axes, because one letter cannot describe a garment that has to fit a height and a body at the same time. Ranges overlap deliberately — if you land in two cells, the matrix will tell you what each choice costs.

Snagging

At 50D the knit is denser than a sheer and resists snagging better, but higher denier resists snagging better. no tights are snag-proof.

Your legal rights

Your legal rights under Dutch law are not limited to a fixed number of years. How long a product must last depends on what you can reasonably expect from it. Any commercial guarantee we offer is in addition to those rights, never instead of them.

A ladder from catching the fabric is wear, not a fault. A seam coming apart on first wear is a fault. Guarantee and conformity.
