As readers who know pantyhose or tights know, or you know men buy tights skils, FALKE relaunched their range of Seidenglatt tights, with a series of significant improvements.
Men Buy Tights – Falke Seidenglatt 80
The FALKE Seidenglatt 80 Tights are part of FALKE’s Seidenglatt range.
Packaging
The FALKE Seidenglatt 80 Tights are folded around a card rectangle that provides information on the FALKE Beauty Plus collection on one side, and instructions on the reverse on how to put the tights on.
This is then enclosed in a larger card sleeve, and then housed in a cellophane envelope.
Materials and features
In upgrading the Seidenglatt range, FALKE have given the tights an improved, even knit structure to ensure a silky feel on the skin. There is also a new, comfortable waistband which promises not to roll or dig in, ensuring the highest possible comfort. Toes are also designed to be non-laddering.
The Seidenglatt 80 packaging says that these tights are “new quality”, and highlights the following features:
- New with seductive, silky sheen
- Opaque, shiny silk tights
- Improved, even mesh structure for a silky sensation on your skin
- New, comfortable waistband for the highest level of comfort: no curling and no pinching
- Innovative mesh gusset with hygienic effect in sizes S-L and comfort gusset in size XL, with non-laddering toe.
Made in Germany, the Seidenglatt 80 Tights are 93% polyamide and 7% Elastane and the elastane content has increased. The improved Falke Seidenglatt 80 tights still retain the incredibly soft and sensual feel. In fact, the Seidenglatt 80 perhaps feel even slightly more silky.
The tights are sheer to waist with no demarcation from the leg to the brief/panty. Seams are flat throughout and expertly engineered as you would expect from Falke.
The brief is deep, as is usual with Falke tights, measuring 25cm from the top of the waistband to the crotch.
Toes are rounded and have almost invisible reinforcement.

Colour Range
As of today (May 3, 2020), the Falke Seidenglatt 80 Tights are available in 3 colors at amazon:
- Anthracite Gey
- Coffee Brown
- Black
Generally speaking, I prefer to buy Coffee Brown tights. For men, my recommendation is to buy a large black.
Socks and Hosiery size chart
The FALKE Seidenglatt 80 Tights are currently available in 4 – 7 sizes at Amazon:
Falke Seidenglatt 80 provides even coverage, that hides blemishes and leg hair unless the yarn is over-stretched. Although FALKE says the Seidenglatt 80 has an improved mesh structure, I found it was hard to detect this with the naked eye.
The Seidenglatt 80 felt slightly softer and silkier to the touch and when worn on the leg. I am not sure you could get any other opaque with such a wonderfully soft feel. It is truly luxurious. The Seidenglatt 80 also definitely looks much more glossy on the leg, with a very noticeable shine not fully captured in the photos.
I wore both styles in the V – Extra Large size. I always go for this size in Falke as the fit is perfect and consistent. The brief panty stretched comfortably over the waist and hips but sits even higher if needed.
A big improvement is the newly-designed FALKE ‘comfort waistband’, which provides support but with no digging in or construction at all. The overall wearing experience was exceptional. These tights are so soft and comfortable that you won’t want to take them off.
Conclusion
One wonders if FALKE could have improved them, but they have indeed done so. Fit and feel have been further enhanced, with the new yarn. The upgraded “comfort waistband” also works extremely well.
With such outstanding quality, the $31.95 – $33.60 pricing looks reasonable to me. And Seidenglatt 80s seem as robust as the previous 70 version. So they will last a long time if looked after.
worth buying.

I LOVE WEARING PANTYHOSE
Hey nice review you have there about pantyhose. I have heard little about pantyhose from a friend. Having stumbled into this review, I now have a better perspective of it. The Falke Seidenglatt 80 is truly unique and will be suitable for me to use as a beginner due to its excellent features and the comfort one will derived from it.
Hello there! this is an amazing review you’ve got here. First of all, this Beauty Turquoise Necklace caught my attention immediately I open your site, I will love to get it.
Moreover, I will recommend this Falke seidenglatt for my husband though he’s not familiar with falke products. Thanks for sharing this with me, I love it!
Hello there! This an awesome review,I was the type who don’t really like such stuff,still my girlfriend surprised ordered these for me.it was really super smooth and soft.I never wore anything like these.I do know how nylon feel on her and I love them,I really do not know I am wearing them until I touch it
thanks for sharing
Wow, I think you have a girl friend who loves you very much.
Hello there, thank you so much for this very detailed and informative post, my friend has always encouraged me to getting panty hose but I’ve always been skeptical about it, but seeing from this review and how it really will benefit me especially in the cold I’m having a change of mind already, I would try it out and see it’s effect for my self and I how I won’t regret it.
Thank you for this information,
I have certainly bought pantyhose for myself but would never have thought to buy for my boyfriend. Now that I have read your post I can completely understand why a man would buy and the benefits from doing so especially if they work outside during the wintry months.
I like the information that you have provided on the feel and fabric of the pantyhose which I will certainly look at purchasing for myself.
Thank you so much
Ok this is a little different for me – I had not even considered Men’s Pantyhose and frankly, I was skeptical until I started reading the reasons why in your posts. First off, the Winter Wear – now that makes sense, especially when doing winter activities. The idea of adding warmth without added bulk is a great idea. The compression pantyhose with a fly is definitely something to explore. I noticed that on Amazon it is currently going for $38.44 US. How do I go about sizing myself and how long could I expect this type of hose to last?
Hello, Steve G
Thank you for your feedback about the price. The price given in the blog is the price at the time of my review. I guess the seller may adjust the price. Generally speaking, the error will not be very large.
In addition, regarding the size, you can click on the Size Chart on the Amazon purchase page to view it. You can buy it according to the recommendations. In fact, this type of Tights has good flexibility.
Thank you for this great review ! I would like to know more about it. Wearing those men tights while hiking or skiing, will it give a warm feeling on the skin ? Sometimes, the temperature outside is very cold and I wonder how to get warmer as a woman. So I guess the men need the same. Do you think those tights could be good for it ?
Hello, Lauranne
Thank you for your comment, sincerely said that when you hike or skiing, my suggestion is to wear tights or pantyhose, which can keep your legs warm, it is really useful.
I had a misconception that men that wear pantyhose were dancers and exotic folks but this post has helped me shed much needed light on the variety of pantyhose for men. All the pantyhose listed in this post have great features but for me, the Falke Seidenglatt 80 stands out the most. However, I wonder if I can get one of this for myself as a woman?

As a man, I often wear pantyhose. Although it is almost summer, I still wear it because my job is standing all day.
Falke seidenglatt 80 I knew this brand very early, and it was really great because I bought 2 pairs for daily wear last month.
When I told one of my friends that I was thinking of buying a good pantyhose he told me that the Falke Seidenglatt 80 is a very good pick but because I have not heard it before I decided that it will be a good idea to come and see myself all about it. You seem to have some good information about this one. I think black will do. I will go for that.
Hi Jess,
You have an interesting niche products: unbreakable pantyhose for men and compression pantyhose for unisex. I am a fan of pantyhose and I always buy pantyhose but you have a special and niche product offer which is catered for men. Now I learn the 7 reasons guys wear tights. All your articles are good read and it shown that you know best what you offer. I always break my pantyhose so i wonder how’s the quality of the unbreakable panty hose for men. I am sure you have got your husband to try it out.
Best wishes,
Melanie
Hello Melanie
I think Sheertex’s unbreakable pantyhose is the best pantyhose on the planet so far, but its price is even more expensive. If you do n’t care about quality, I think you can choose more brands when you buy online. For example, Falke Seidenglatt 80 introduced in this blog
Good Day,
At first I couldn’t believe the name of your website, but I realized that the we used to do back in the day, has now turned into a profitable business. I’m talking my days in the army back in the ’80’s. We had to do some extensive training in the field during very cold winter conditions, next to snow covered mountains.
The custom, which was passed down from one new group of army recruits to the next, was “bring along a few pairs of pantyhose”. They worked VERY well against the cold.
I guess the trend has moved into everyday wearing, especially with all the health benefits which are associated with wearing them.
Very interesting and quite insightful article!.
Thank you!
Hi, Andre
Whether it ’s army recruits or men ’s friends, wearing pantyhose in the wild has many benefits. Of course, in some places now, some men can be seen wearing them as everyday clothes on the street.
