Industrial net thigh highs - hosiery by Leg Avenue - review by blacklodge

First look:
I've needed a pair of fishnet thigh highs for a while. What caught my eye about these were the price. Sometimes if you buy the cheaper item, it ends up falling apart on you. This is not the case here. These are durable, comfortable, and decent quality. I'm not saying these will last you forever, but they definitely are up there with some of the pricier stockings.


Material:
These thick fishnets are made of 100% nylon. While the actual fishnet part is super soft and stretchy, the band is a little less soft and not so stretchy There is no reinforced toe, the stockings are just sewn together at the end. The length of the seam is about an inch. It kind of reminds me of a sack of oranges. It's not that much of a bother unless you're wearing tight shoes. The stitching is done really well though. I don't see it coming apart anytime soon.


Sizing and fit:
Laying flat and unstretched, the total length from the top of the band to the bottom of the toe, is 25½" long. The band is 2" thick and measured across the top is 6". When wearing them, they stretch up to 27" long on me. I have longer legs, and these are lower on me than they are the model on the product page by about 3 inches. My thigh is 19½" around where the band comes to. It's a little tight and sort of gives slight muffin top thigh. It's not too bad, but if your thigh is any bigger, I feel it may be too tight.


Care:
I had wash these in warm water and light detergent, then I hang them to dry. I don't trust these to last through a washer and dryer.


Wear it with:
The band is thick but since these are a little tighter on me, it tends to roll down. I use metal garters to keep these up and it works great. Plastic garters might be harder to put on, since the band is two layers of fabric.
