Warm, rich, and deliciously retro, our Mocha Semi Opaque RHT Tights channel the practical sophistication of service weight hosiery once favoured by working women in the 1950s and 1960s.

Key Features:

Colour Brown
Details RHT, light support
Sizing Fits up to UK size 18 / US 14
Fabric info Officially 70 denier
Fabric composition 78% nylon, 22%  elastane
Country of manufacture Italy

Knitted in Italy from 78% polyamide and 22% Lycra, they have a soft, stretchy fit that offers gentle light support — ideal for long days on your feet. The mesh-style knit gives them the lightly textured appearance typical of vintage hosiery, while the higher denier yarn (officially 70) appears closer to 40 when worn, offering a semi opaque, “demi matte” look.

The reinforced heel and toe add both durability and authentic period detail, making these tights a superb choice for WWII reenactors or anyone who loves the look of true mid-century hosiery.

(Note the factory is no longer making this colour way so when the stock is gone it is gone!)

In a deep chocolate brown shade, these Mocha service weight tights are endlessly versatile — elegant with tweed and wool for daytime wear or beautifully warm paired with autumnal tones.

The color is exactly that rich mocha brown, and the semi-opaque weave gives them a nice, sturdy feel without being too heavy. I wore them for a full workday and they held their shape, no sagging at the knees.

These feel like they were pulled from my grandmother’s best era—proper service weight with a retro sheen that looks amazing under wool skirts. The rich mocha tone is deep enough to read as a true color but still lets skin show through subtly. Wore them through a full cold day and they held their sha
