G.Lieberman & Sons(ActivSkin) announcement

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!


This week G.Lieberman & Sons and Activskin announced today some news and I thought you should read it from what they wrote on LAUF Forum

Looks pretty bad from what Steve is saying though yes indeed we are getting a 20% discount however it shows us the harsh reality that "Women just aren't wearing hosiery anymore."(maybe in the US?) really affects the business of hosiery manufacturers but I'm pretty sure with the coming autumn and winter both men and women will be shopping for hosiery again! I'm pretty sure this one setback will make Steve stronger as the company transitions with a new supplier! Let's help him to clear his inventory! 

Thanks for support in advance!

Weekly Vibe #45

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

Welcome once again to the end of the week and to the 45th edition of Legwear Fashion For Men's Weekly Vibe! Firstly I would like to remind you readers again that the special discount on Activskin legwear expires at the end of September, you need to get your orders in before the end of the month to enjoy the discount. The discount code is " LFFM2013 " without spaces and the ""'s it is your time now to stock up! :) 

I experienced something pretty interesting, at the end of the working day on Saturday I was changed and getting ready to go for the gym, I was sporting my military branch's physical training and Knittex's Sporty Leggings and my female colleague noticed and gave a big laugh and she said "Why are you wearing tight?" Well I assumed her bad grammar was supposedly referring to"Tights" and then I said.. "Oh yeah.. they are compression legwear, I wear to run" and suddenly then she kept quiet about it. I was actually laughing in my head... well why? Simply because I felt that she probably had nothing better to say or just had to agree with me that there is nothing wrong with me wearing it! Hahaha!

Most of you might not know but I'm actually going through physical training and eating regime, well most people would say.. "You're on a diet!" Well yeah and I have lost over 4kg or 8.8lbs over a period of 4 weeks. Which included 20 mins plus running the treadmill and 10 mins on the striding machine, (However I ideally would prefer a 40 mins run on the treadmill due to gym regulations. I would eat fruits for lunch and soup for dinner or vice versa, breakfast would still be sandwich because I needed the energy for my job. I'm really glad about how it's turning out and I looking to reach the weight of 85-86kg by the end of the year(currently 94kg and started off at 98kg) I'm so excited!

Anyways on to hosiery news! UK Tights have a sale up to 75% off! On discounts are brands such as FALKE, Gerbe, Charnos, Miss Oroblu, Kunert, Jonathan Aston and many more! To start saving, click here!

That's all I have for all you! Have a great weekend ahead!

Just Arrived : Charnos 60 den Opaque Tights

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

I ordered 2 pairs of Charnos 60 denier Opaque tights from Tightsplease in early November, and they have arrived! It took about 4 weeks to arrive.

I ordered a Navy and a Chocolate in XL, I'm not too sure about how the sizes go, so I decided to go bigger just in case they didn't fit me! Look forward to coming review posts when I try the tights on! Oh and a little something extra to share, my mum really enjoyed the Activskin A839 and the best thing is that she actually told me that one pair wasn't enough and she wanted more!! She told me to get more of them for her! She also commented that her feet was really rough and then after wearing the A839s she feels that they gotten softer and she is really pleased with them! Kudos to Activskin! 

Thanks for reading!

P.S Sorry for not posting for a long time, been really busy with my other life commitments, I will post more often when I have the time! :) 

Just Arrived : Activskin A866 & A839

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

I received the A866 & A839 tights from Activskin on Friday, delivery time was somewhat a few days slower. Which is okay for me..

As I have written before, the A839 is a gift to my mum so I won't be reviewing on them but I asked her to give me a review on them. As for the A866, I will most likely be using them for my outdoor jogs. I will give them a review when I can.

In Focus: ActivSkin A857 Thermofabric Ribbed Light Support Tights

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

Here is my review on ActivSkin A857 Thermofabric Ribbed Light Support Tights
 

At first look the Activskin ribbed tights look pretty small to fit my rather broad body, I was actually a little apprehensive about support hosiery as I didn't like putting them on due to the fact that it might be real hard to put them on... but when I pulled the first leg up, it felt really stretchy and really really smooth, soft and comfortable!! I wore out these with shorts to church and I had no negative comments! I had a church brother in my cellgroup that complimented me and said that it takes guts to wear them out like that. I suppose that's the perk of being in a contemporary church! Hahaha! Anyways, on the light support that the product says that it gives, I don't really feel my legs were gasping to breathe but my legs feel good for the entire time, not full of aches and pain by the end of the day. It isn't as sheer as it looks on the picture that Activskin provides, it is pretty opaque as you can see in the photos below. The ribbing isn't very obvious from far but only at closer inspection.

 Cowl flap collared T-shirt: NEWLOOK  Shades: H&M   Shorts: THOMAS SMITH Tights: ACTIVSKIN Shoes: TOPMAN
Bag: BLACK SHEEP COLLECTION  Model & Photographer: A. LUCIUS. KUNSTWERKE

Price: US$15.99

Material content: 93% nylon microfiber and 7% Lycra® spandex

Sizes offered: M to XXL

Colours: Black

Pros: Soft, Stretchy, Smooth, Good opacity coverage, very stylish, keeps your legs comfortable by the end of the day & not too expensive.
 
Cons: No fly, but then again without the fly it made it cheaper, may/may not need to wear underpants when wearing them(the regular brief wasn't thick enough to protect from the rough slight brushes against the pants zippers.

Overall I'm very pleased with the A857 Thermofabric Ribbed Light Support Tights. I give it a rating of 5 out of 5 stars.

New Tights Order: October 2012

Hi Creative and Fashion people!

I recently placed an order on 2 pairs of tights from ActivSkin. Two of them are manufactured by G. Lieberman & Sons, Ltd.

One of them is the A866 Thermofabric Full Support Tights with Fly 

There was only black for this variant and  it is priced at US$19.99

The other one is the A839 Thermofabric Opaque Light Support Tights

There is only black for this and it is priced at US$14.99

This is my 2nd purchase with Activskin and I'm really enjoying their products! In fact actually the A839 is for my mum! Hence I will not be reviewing the A839 but the A866 and I'm absolutely looking forward to receiving them and trying them on! Stay tuned for the reviews and fashion styles for these tights!

In Focus: ActivSkin A894 Camouflage Tights

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

Here is my review on ActivSkin A894 Camouflage Tights:

At first look, it looks like what I would wear in the desert front..Hahaha! But looks absolutely awesome!!! As I started bunching them up to wear they feel really stretchy and soft, they feel really smooth against the skin as I pull them up the fit is fine, I started seeing some pattern stretch on my calves, which I believe is normal.. one thing I realised is that the patterns have seams on the sides which I think is the one thing I didn't really like. As I was adjusting my tights I saw a pretty weird stain or mark like as if some nail polish has spilled on it or something.. well good thing it was on my upper thigh area where my legs wouldn't be exposed. 

A weird unwashable stain on my left thigh as I pulled them up for the first time.

The coverage was pretty good, it feels more like a sheer than an opaque hose. I really like the fly that it came with. One unique thing about Activskin tights is that you don't need to wear another undergarment like I normally would with other tights.

Cowl flap collared T-shirt: NEWLOOK  Shades: H&M   Cargo pants: UNIQLO Tights: ACTIVSKIN Shoes: TOPMAN
Bag: BLACK SHEEP COLLECTION  Model & Photographer: A. LUCIUS. KUNSTWERKE

Price: US$24.99

Material content: 90% Nylon microfiber and 10% Lycra® spandex.

Sizes offered: M to XXL

Colours: Camouflage

Pros: Soft, Stretchy, Smooth, Good opacity coverage. Male panel with Fly opening & Stylish
 
Cons: Not the most economical, side seams(well I see it as a con as I prefer patterns without seams) & that weird nail polish stain(forgivable as it's on my upper thigh area)

Overall I'm pretty pleased with the A894 Camouflage Tights. I give it a rating of 4 out of 5 stars.

I wore out earlier today to do some shopping, I took the public transport, there was some looks but people don't really care.

This is actually my second time wearing tights out with shorts and I feel really good! I feel that as long as the outfit is right, it is really no problem wearing tights out with shorts at all, the war is really all in the head!

Just Arrived : ActivSkin A857 & A894

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

After about a week, my ActivSkin tights have arrived! 

I will be doing a review on them in the days or weeks to come, I still do remember that I still got reviews to be done on the ADRIAN Grating Argyle tights. Meanwhile it's time for me to wash them first! Most importantlyI showed it to my dad and talked about the health benefits of wearing support tights! And he said that it would be good for wearing it in colder places! Wow! Now even acceptance from my DAD!

Thank you for reading!
