Outdoor Hose Report - Browning Drizzle

A slightly drizzly evening as I hit the road off from work.  To save time on changing the shade of hosiery, I wore the "outdoor shade", Propeds Sheer Support pantyhose, Chocolate shade under work pants.  All I had to do was to convert my attire to casuals after work.  Had the black printed tee with Airism lounge berms, complete with Power walking shoes, anklesocked for this hosewalk.

The drizzle was light, yet a brolly is still needed.  After the change outside the boundaries of the "hostile area", I took the alternative route to another subway station.  Passed a few strangers along the way, before reaching the traffic junction.  While at the junction, I took the usual stance nearer to the road, without bothering who's going to look at my offskinshade hosed legs.  While crossing the road, I noticed there were much more commuters this time round.

Soon, I reached the other side of the road, still keeping the walk outside the building with brolly, for "extended hosed legs exposure" before entering shelter.  Passed by the very crowded junction outside the mall, through the underground passage.  This time, the sunnies were off when I'm wearing offskinshades even when the weather was sunny.

Stepped into the transiting metro after a short wait, after taking the non-express side of escalators.  Female commuters could be sensed standing behind me during these elevation routes but that didn't bother me.  No one gave an unusal look even though I walked through the brightly lit, less crowded transit metro hence I presumed everyone was just oblivious.

Walked through to the direct metro home and passed many people without any glances, boarded the crowded metro and soon, reached light rail.  Though it was cloudy, the sky was still bright as I walked home.  Past the traffic light, school kids, parents and some working class folks and soon I was home.

Outdoor Hose Report - Tanning it Softly

Another lesson day of the week so I went with a neutral shade to prevent unnecessary distraction.

Left on the dot as usual, changed into casuals, matched with Funfit Support Pantyhose in Suntan shade.  This was one of those with a mini toe seam area, which was not wide or deep enough to cover my toe area.  Pictures will be shared soon. Matched it off with khaki berms, default length with Power hiking shoes.

Made my way to the usual stall for a meal, and found a seat in the world of books where I could revise in comfort.  As the seats were facing away from the regular sitting benches, the visibility of my hosed legs were minimized.  This shade is a little bronzy and has a soft look from the yarn quality.

Walked to class earlier, with hosed legs seen visibly at traffic junction before nightfall and took up my usual seat.  As I took my regular seat in class, from the corner of my eye, I noticed my hosed legs looking a little tan in the dimmed lighting shielded by the classroom desk.  It was in full view from where my teacher stood/sat but she didnt notice.

Soon I was done with classes, and took the usual route back to the subway station, cutting through a mall.  The metro was crowded even when it was way past dinner time.  Took up the mid-cabin position throughout the journey and transited to the light rail.

Soon, I was walking home past the quiet pavements, home james.

Outdoor Hose Report - Chocolatey Hosed Down

Got up later than usual this morning and decided that I’ll go with the chocolate shade afater packing my stuff to get to work; the standard casuals for hoseout after work.  As my usual black sheers are done for the week, I decided to just keep the chocolate shades beneath my workpants and switch to them directly after work with casuals.

Did some lunch hour shopping and picked up a pair of very breathable capris, Uniqlo Airism blue camoflauge patterned loungewear, which will help a lot in the stuffy weather lately, and also as a replacement for garments in my wardrobe.  I had previously tried this on but didn’t quite like the length.  But after consideration of today’s attire match without having a need to reveal too much hosed legs, this length will do.

After work, changed ( at a Gents away from the “hostile area”) into my black printed tee and slipped on this pair of capris.  I had a pair of heavy built Power hiking shoes on so it’s going to deemphasize attention to my hosed legs.  Ankle socked today since the shoes do rise up to my ankles a little (and also in view of protecting hosiery from any possible rough edges in footwear).

Took my walk; to the nearby mall via an alternative route.  This time, I had no sunnies on and walked normally without bothering who’s going to look.  As I was at the traffic junction getting ready to cross the route, I stood nearer to the motorists who are stopped by the red light, just doing my stuff (randomly checking smartphone and looking around) till it was time to cross the road.  Passed several commuters of both genders, through the eatery-lined mall, and then in the open to the underground metro.  Kept my gaze in the direction of where I was headed to or just looking natural like anyone else, and soon, I was already down in the metro platform waiting for the transit line.  I took my usual position where commuters seated could see my hosed legs at eye level and boarded the metro when it arrived.

Male commuters were standing opposite or beside me in the intersection space I was in, but I doubt anyone was looking.  As I reached the transit station, which was a short walk to the connecting line, I overtook many and came across many oncoming commuters who were all engaged in their own activities.  Since the entrance was crowded at my usual spot, I had to enter another door which was less crowded.  As the train went on its journey and more commuters could be seen alighting, the sight of my chocolate hosed legs become more prominent via the empty space which widened before a bigger group of commuters boarded.  Through my observation, no one really bothered, so be it.

Soon I reached my station and transited to the light rail which will bring me to my home direct.  Hit the grocer’s, walking through the brightly lit store, got my stuff and paid at the self-checkout stations.  As the machine had some issues after I made payment, a female staff came forward to assist and everything went on as normal.  Took my purchases and walked back home, crossing the road, passing oncoming parents with their schooling kids, overtaking some female pedestrians and soon, home James.

Full Attire Shootout 1: Offskinshades & Berms

Hello guys

Decided to do a different approach of photographing my outfit while hosed up this evening, hence here it goes.

Found a good space in my cosy home for this shoot.  As I’ve never done this, I decided to go for just a few simple poses and put them together in a collage.  Hosiery shadeswise:I’m doing offskin shades today since it’s something which I have ventured into more after being confident with skintone shades.

Smoky Pearl hosiery attire 1.

 This is a pale shade match hence I went with light top, bottoms with footwear color matching the Smoky Pearl shade of my hosiery.

Smoky Pearl hosiery attire 2.

Another variation to go with Smoky Pearl shade hosiery.  The overall color theme is still neutral, hence the berms’ shade came to match with these.

Nutmeg hosiery attire.

This combination gives a warmer touch as the top has a more vibrant color.  Coupled with my favorite Brentwood slimcut grey berms, it goes well with the Nutmeg shade hosiery.

(hyperlink for black top attire shoot) – The overall, dark colored theme hence I’ve brought out the ready to decommission CottonOn Emblem grey canvas top loafers to go with it.  Chocolate shade hosiery goes infor this, but  I’ve never gone out in this shade yet. 

(hyperlink for pale blue linen berms with smoky pearl hose attire shoot) – (description) this shade yet.

These shots should give a better view of how the shades will actually look when worn, unlike those close angle shots taken by hand.  Although it was self-taken without a pro photog, I hope it was informative and useful for everyone.  

That’s it for Series 1 of my full attire shootout.  I will be touching on another series in the next update, so do keep reading!

Outdoor Hose Report - Softly Smoky

A day which I made through with deprived rest, hence, the best way to reward myself after a mentally challenged day was to go on another offskin shade.

As usual, I brought along several pairs of pantyhose for the afterwork hosewalk, such as Tan, Smoky Pearl.  Under work pants today was Chocolate, which I had considered hosing out in, but since I have discarded that pair of berms which I trailed Chocolate shade in, I decided to use it as just a "work hosiery" which are usually blacks.

Bumped into a female colleague who coincidentally finished work at the same time as me, who was also headed to the book mall near my workplace, which was also the place I had to change in, since I do not want to be spotted by any colleagues should I do it at the Gents at the office building, especially for offskin shades.

Did my change at the available cubicle, slipping into Propeds Sheer Support Pantyhose in Smoky Pearl shade, complete with vertical striped berms at default length, and my new pair of Flips Bare Classic Grey boat shoes; these came in to replace the well worn and badly fitting CottonOn Emblem loafers that served me well.  Walked out as anyone would, passing the handwash area, eatery and patrons passing through the mall.  At the back of my mind, I was wondering if that colleague I bumped into will spot me, but since I didn't see her in my exit route, the walk went on well.  As part of the 'masked look' or the attire look, I usually have sunnies on when I'm in offshades, but since it's broken, I shall just do without it.

Passed the huge library, pedestrians and waited awhile at the traffic light area.  I stood in the inner area, further away from the road side, to avoid sunlight and also any possible glances which could come from all directions as that was probably the last mental bastion from wearing offskin shades.  This is due to the gloomy weather season back then, where the sunlight casted an unfavourable shade to the Smoky Pearls.  But since the sunny season is back, I think this can be done more often.

Walked through the shaded pavement lined with eateries after crossing the junction, while occupied on my phone and taking glances for navigation, I noticed virtually no one was looking at my hosed legs.  Kept walking till I reached a busy junction, just before heading underground to the subway.  No sunnies on, so I had to live with it.  Probably this is a good way to train up offskin shade hose confidence.

Took up the waiting position at one of the busier areas where many could be seen seated, while occupying myself with phone.  I could hear those seated in eyeview busily talking, but decided not to bother if anyone will look at my hosed legs.  Took the train, placing myself at the cabin intersection.  There were a few male commuters sharing that standing area with me but none of them were bothered with what's going on around them.  Transited to the direct line, overtaking and passing oncoming commuters and I guess none of them were looking.  The train ride was alright since it was packed, and everyone was trying to be comfortable in their standing position.

Throughout the escalator journeys, I took the non-express lane to get more outdoor exposure, look and feel natural as part of the hose confidence course.  Soon, I reached the light metro which will bring me home direct, took the regular walking route past schools and neighbourhoods with pedestrians all over.  I didn't want to be bothered if anyone will look, but I noticed the sunlight during this sunnier season, was still healthy even when I was reaching home from a hour's commuting.  That was relief, as what I wanted was the hose to flatter my legs, rather than showing an indifferent shade.

Up the lift, and home James.

Outdoor Hose Report - Labour Hose

A hot Labour Day which most of the day was spent indoors till the weather was cooler in the evening.

Brought partner out for dinner and a simple outing today.   Since it has been awhile since I've done a pale skintone shade hose, today's attire consisted of a white muscle tee with grey trims, light blue linen berms doublerolled, Propeds Elegant All Sheers Sheer to Waist Support Pantyhose, Beige shade and a pair of matching Flips Bare, Denim Blue Pinstripe boat shoes.  Afterall, a pair of light shaded legs should be accompanied by matching attire.  Hose are protected by Model 207 Funfit boat socks.

Took a slow walk to a nearby coffeeshop for dinner; it was of a small seating capacity interior, but cooling enough for the still warm-aired evening.  Walked past oncoming pedestrians, loitering foreign workers at the nearby supermart but no one took noticed of my fairer than normal hosed legs.

Ordered dinner as usual, with hose legs in full view of patrons sitting right outside the stall, but the shade and temperature made the hosed legs unnoticed.  I had to take a brief walk as we occupied the seat farthest away from the stall.  

There was a family dining beside us but as they were occupied in their own conversation, and soon took off when they're done, hence no one noticed it.

Took a direct bus to a nearby town, which was split by a highway from where I live, and took a walk in a soon to close all-you-can-find store.  As the store was brightly lit internally with neutral white lights, so are my hosed legs brightly-lit.  Walked through most of the  merchandise rack but found nothing I need, hence headed off to the supermart to do some grocery run.  Everyone was busy with their own shopping at these 2 premises, hence no one took notice.

After the whole trip was done, took the bus in the opposite direction home.  In both directions of the journey, we had to walk to the second half of the bus where seats are available.  During this walk, my hosed legs came in full view of commuters seated in that area, but I didn't bother if anyone was taking a look.  Afterall, it's been quite sometime since I've gone public with hosed legs in skintoneo shade.  The finishing effect of this pair of hose was great; although it's a 20 denier, the finer yarn count made the overall appearance more flattering than the regular support counterpart.

As we took the lift up, my partner commented my legs look very fair and I assured her it was alright.  Probably she's still not used to seeing me in something more deviative in the skintone spectrum of hosiery when we go out together, but that'll just be a matter of time.

Outdoor Hose Report - Warmnut Hosed

It was one of the similar sun-turn-rain day, where the sun was extremely hot before lunchtime, and the weather dips to the other end of the pendulum, with a heavy downpour that lasted for an hour or so.

Having this being an off day from work, I decided to do an offskin shade hosewalk since it has been awhile since I have a chance to go out in the earlier hours of the daylight in such shades.  Chose Propeds Sheer Support, Nutmeg shade to go with my favourite, slimcut grey berms, doublefolded and matched with my Wtwo grey boat shoes.  Love these shoes as their lowprofile style extends the exposure of those hose-wrapped legs.

Took a walk to a bus stop where the bus journey's much shorter to the nearby, more bustling town but detoured back for a quick meal as it was late in the afternoon and I had not ate at the regular hours.  The sunlight had began to creep over the passing grey clouds, hence the shade of the Nutmeg toned legs are moving from a grey-purplish hue to something of a warm grey with a pale hint of purple, which flatters the legs much more than Smoky Pearl shade.

Had my meal at a sandwich bar, which became crowded with patrons after I was halfway into my meal; no special notice was spotted throughout my walk from home to this detour.  Done with my meal, took the crowded escalator up and then the route back to that "express route" bus stop, mandatorily stopping at traffic light junctions, but I decided to put off any mental concerns of whether anyone will look at my hosed legs.

Waited about 8mins, took the bus ride, up on the upper deck seat (it was unusually crowded for a midafternoon) and chucked myself into the window edge of a loosely occupied aisle seat.  The bus journey was pretty smooth and soon, I reached my destination.  The exit area which was near the staircase, was a "hot sight" area, but I couldn't really be bothered whether those women at the priority seats, or those near the door will look.

Took a slow walk to the traffic junction, crossed the road, with offskin shaded legs in full view, but from my radar no exceptional glances or stares.  I took awhile to locate the library as it was located at the edge of the town centre.  This required me to walk past crowded places like coffeeshops, retail shops and pedestrian walkways.  Eventually, I found the place and planted myself in a reading room seat to do some stuff on my tablet.  Everyone in the room was engrossed reading newsprints, hence no one noticed my hosed legs.  Moreover, the warm light (unchanged in this town's library) is still of the warm temperature shade, hence my legs' hosed shade could not been seen obviously.

When I was done, I took the circumferencing walkway back to the bus stop which would bring me home.  Past many stores, pedestrians and past a grey hosed OL, who too, was oblivious of my hosed legs despite it becoming more obvious in the falling sunlight.

Once again, took the upper deck, sat beside a schoolgirl who was completely unaware despite the white light brightly lighting up the bus interior and showing my nylon-clad legs.  Reached home shortly, walked through estates while noticing the nutmeg shade becoming warm, past another OL in Nude shade, also oblivous to my leg shade, and into the lift with lady who was engrossed with her smartphone.

Home James, Hosed Mission Successful.

Outdoor Hose Report - StarHose

Another rainy evening and I managed to get off work at the usual timing, equal or the same as some colleagues.  Overheard a colleague sitting nearby she's done for the day, so I had to do some evasive measures.  Initially,  I had plans of dropping off at one of the floors in office building to change into casuals, but thought it might be a better idea to do it the regular way, since it wasn't my plans for them to see me in hosed legs.

So I got to the regular food court Gent's, into casuals, linen berms and Propeds Elegant All Sheer Support Pantyhose, no show socks and loafers.  The cubicle is much cleaner today so I could get it done quickly.  Took the usual route from the other side of the library which was less crowded, and then the crossing at the big junction.   Stood at a normal position, getting my mind used to having hosed legs and eliminated any self-consciousness.  Crossed the road as the green man appeared, and took position at where the bus might stop; it's kinda dim so nothing can really be seen on those hose-wrapped legs.

Soon, my bus was here; an OL was beside me, and I went up as the bus entrance was right infront of me.  There was an middle aged man seated right behind where I boarded who might just be looking, but I didn't bother.  Walked through to the centre of the bus without attracting any odd glances.

Reached my station, took a slow walk, passing oncoming pedestrians exiting the station and down the escalator, making it to the almost departing train.  I took stand at a space nearer the inactive door beside an OL, who was completely engrossed in her phone.  Halfway through the journey, a trio of OLs entered, chattering among themselves though one of them glanced in my direction soon after stepping in; might be a looking for a comfortable standing spot since this is a partial-standing cabin.

As I was approaching my transit station, I noticed an Indian lady near the middle of the seated area looking at my hosed legs.  From the direction of her eyes, it could very well spell that she has noticed it, but after awhile, she went back to minding her kid.  As I was alighting, at my transit station, an OL with a skirt that's probably 2 inches from exposure turned around and glanced at my hosed legs; probably the little sheen from this hose caught her attention, but I wasn't bothered.  Throughout the ascension on the crowded escalator, I had to stop a few times due to the built-up commuting crowd.  This USS (Ultra Short Skirt) OL took the other direction of LRT, so I went on to my waiting platform.

Boarded the train, reached my destination and went to grab a Christmas beverage deal from a popular coffee outlet.  The cashier was stationed right in front of a long table where many students could be seen muggling over some food and beverage, putting my hosed legs in full view.  Waited for about 5mins at the pickup station and there was a young lady who was seated beside where I stood, but she didn't notice my hosed legs.

After I was done, took a regular paced walk out.  It was drizzling so I had to put up with a "rainspotted hosed legs" saga for a shortwhile before I hit home.

Shared the lift with a lady neighbour from another floor; she stood almost inline beside me while waiting and in the lift, but she didn't take note of my hosed legs.

Reached my floor, home James.

Outdoor Hose Report - Midjourney Restocking

This is the 3rd consecutive day in the week, to show hosed legs after a working day.

Went to the usual foodcourt Gent's to change into casuals with above knee berms, no-show socks and loafters.  Took the rear pavement of the library; raining again hence I was a little concerned about water splatters making my hosed legs look more prominent, but heck; no one stop and look in the rain except at waiting areas such as traffic lights.

As I waited at the traffic lights, motorists lined the road when green man appeared.  Walked across the road, accompanied by passing pedestrians wielding brollies, everyone went on with their ways without paying much attention to my hosed legs.

Entered the mall, crossed over the overhead link and reached the long and croweded bus stop which was just behind a street shopping area.  Took a small run but my bus ran off, hence I walked back to mid junction, without bothering about any glances from those middle aged women seated benches where I ran past.

Soon, my bus arrived, took my short ride and transited at the subway station.  Since I'm a little earlier, I decided to stopover at midjourney station to do some restocking for my favourite pantyhose.  The last time I came, I was still shy to shop as there were many middle aged salesladies around.  This time round, I'm in hose legs with berms.  Took the escalators nearest to Isetan, passing eateries and walking right into the hosiery section.  Found my optimum size (L-LL) and there were only 3 Beige pairs left; seemed like it's a popular shade as the remaining were nudes that were abundant in quantity.

"Swept" off the last 3 pairs, walked up to the cashier near the cosmetic boothes, with lots of cosmetic salesladies (most are tastefully hosed).  Initially, I was hesitant to stand right behind the customer who was almost done with cashing her purchase as it will put my hosed legs in full sight (lights were very bright in this section for some reasons), but heck, I went up and stood to wait for my turn, without bothering about how or if those girls will look at me.

After paying, walked past some promotion event areas in the store, saw some Sarah Borghi pantyhose on offer, but didn't really look into detail as I've already got what I needed.

Took the same crowded route nearest to the subway station, without hurrying and took a gate which soon got crowded with commuters.

Made my way up to the LRT station soon; with some stopping even on the express lane as it was hitting the peak hour for offwork commuters.  As I walked to the platform, saw a young mother with her walking toddler but none she wasn't looking at me or noticing my hosed legs.

Soon, I was walking past a traffic junction lined with motorists, some male pedestrians and soon, I was up the lift and home James.

Outdoor Hose Report - Refuelling and Hosed Up

Another lesson day of the week; weather had been cooling by the time I got off from work to get ready to refuel for the evening.  Decided to take a step further this time to gain hose experience by going to have dinner with exposed hosed legs.

Went to the nearest food court's Gent's for casual change, and slipped on my favourite Propeds Elegant All Sheer Support Pantyhose in Beige, along with an above knee berms, no show socks and low back loafers.   Took the busier pavement of the side nearer to my usual dining area where there are more pedestrians around.  Since traffic light wasn't ready, I had to wait at the junction with full view of hosed legs.  I didn't take the path which passes a beautician where the girls (sometimes in opaques or sheer hose) can be seen distributing flyers outside at certain hours; shall leave this to the next round.  I deliberately passed a taxi stand where a handful of commuters were waiting, a hosed OL in black pantyhose puffing away with her companion before I reached the traffic lights heading to my dining area.

Ordered my food, had my dinner (hosed legs in full view despite the familiar faces of the workers there) and made my way to library for some revision before classes.  From the journey after slipping into hose and berms, I took random visual scans around, walking naturally and noticed no one actually looked at my hosed legs.  During mealtime, I saw a bunch of male office workers seated beside me in a group dining; as I was done, I picked up my stuff, walked confidently pass them, passed working staff and a crowded traffic crossing where I came from.

Soon, I was in the library revising.  I chose a bench seat as the couches are more comfortable than high tablechair sets.  As I sat the edge of berms slided to half thigh, exposing my hosed legs more.  Librarians, library patrons walked past me and I wasn't bothered whether they will be looking at my hosed legs as I continue with my revision.

As I was about to go for classes, a big sized guy plonked himself on the same bench as me, flipping his book and muttered to himself in exclamation; I could make out things like "...first time.." in his spoken dialect; he may be looking in my direction and commenting about his "visual surprise" but I didn't bother.
Entered class as usual, went through lesson smoothly while hosed legs could be seen peeping back at me from below my own table area; my favourite classmate still didn't notice though we were sitting near in the small classroom.  Last to leave the class, noticing if my teacher spotted it but she didn't, moved out with other departing students and towards the subway interchange.  Passed a pub restaurant where many Caucasian patrons were seated near the walkway to the mall.

Didn't want to hurry though there was train leaving, hence that gave me additional exposure time till the next train arrived.  As I was waiting, I noticed an OL facing me, 3 gates ahead of me and possibly spotted my hosed legs but I wasn't bothered.

Boarded a pretty empty train to transit and stood near the grabpole, across the transit station and then a crowded train homebound.  No one in the train bothered to look (based on my surveillance intel).  As I was reaching the transit station at my hometown, a lady took the empty seat infront of me where my hosed legs are at full view (she was glued to her phone), while a man, alighting, seemingly took glances at my hosed legs.

Caught the sight of a lady seated at the corner through glass reflection, and noticed she was looking at my hosed legs direction.  Didnt bother and once again, took the central area as train was reaching my station.  Ascended the crowded central escalator to LRT platform and got stuck at the express lane due to the commuting crowd.  That gave me some time of exposure and I heard a PRC lady behind me talking about "pantyhose looking odd", probably at the sight of my hosed legs.

Entered the LRT and took stand near the exit door.  Despite having hosed legs at full view of a few lady passengers, none of them were looking.

Took a regular paced walk from LRT, passing pedestrian walkways without attracting weird glances, and home James

Outdoor Hose Report - Additional Silky Exposure

Off work earlier as usual; hence I went to the nearby foodcourt's Gent's to change into casual wear so as to avoid being spotted by colleagues who finish around my timing.

Time to decommission another pair of black drugstore housebrand hose which has served me well for almost 20 wears which I wear under workpants.  Decided to show more hosed legs today by wearing a low back loafers and no-show socks.  Slipped into my favourite Propeds Elegant All Sheers Support Pantyhose, Beige along with above knee berms and walked out after getting that "heaty face sensation" off.

Walked across the library, passing walking pedestrians and those sitting at benches outside sheltered area and waited at the traffic light to my restocking zone.  Did a quick visual scan across and got busy on my phone; no one spotted my hosed legs.   Once lights turn green, I moved across with normal pace, passing young teriary girls, boys, working class and subsequently some diners seated at restaurants just along the walkway, right into the mall without anyone spotting my hosed legs.

Took the escalator up; this time I decided not to walk up quickly but allowed it to bring me to the next level.  There were OLs behind me who could immediately spot my hosed legs but it didn't bother me.  Went on to my regular store to stock up more of these hose I'm wearing since it's already a "spot on" style and color to my preference; didn't spend alot of time at the hosiery section as I already knew what I needed so it was a quick pick and go.  At the cashier, there was an elderly family but none of them were bothered spotting my hosed legs.

After paying (served by a sweet looking girl who appears to be a tertiary student), I walked past the main areas where female sales promoters could be seen before exiting the store; slow strolls to the escalator down to run some errands before taking the subway; queued behind a Malay couple while the lady was facing me as her partner was using the machine; there was another OL queuing for other ATMs beside me, at a distance where my legs could be seen in full view.  When both were done, none of them noticed my legs and so I did my stuff and headed for the subway.

Walked through the interchange, climbing stairs without hurrying in worry to be spotted in hosed legs, I did another visual scan around me quickly as I walked up to the platform.  Not the least uncrowded but I wasn't bothered and went to my usual gate.  While I was waiting for the train, I noticed a middle aged OL on the other side looking in my direction; she could be looking at my hosed legs but no matter.

During the trainride, visual scanned randomly and noticed no one was looking at my legs; not even the OLs sitting at the door seats facing me as I was standing at the inactive door side.  I chose this position as it was in full view of anyone who walked in to gain confidence.  As train was reaching my destination, walked nearer to door, stood in the middle section near the grab poles (an even more full view position) till the doors opened.

Walked naturally out, took my time walking up the "express" side of the escalator as it was a long way up at the transit station, reaching the LRT platform.  During the train ride, there was a middle-aged man standing facing me where he could see my hosed legs but I noticed he wasn't bothered.  Upon exiting, walked pass an OL (I noticed yarn color made my legs look a little tan under the warm lighting), passed the exit gates and crossing roads, other pedestrians who were completely oblivious to my hosed legs.

Took my time to open mailbox and got a vacant lift ready, home James.

Outdoor Hose Report - Weekend Repantyhosement

A grocery run for the weekend.  Though I was up at 4am, only went to the grocer when the sun was up and a more regular hour.  This was planned to gain outdoor confidence.

After getting some work done till the sun was up, I slipped into my Propeds Elegant All Sheer Pantyhose in Beige, along with above knee length berms, no show socks and loafers along with a singlet.

Took the lift down and it stopped at several floors; first, a couple entered, then a dog lover with his pet.  I was located at the rear of the lift where my hosed feet could be seen full view when the lift opens.  As the lift descended, I noticed the lady was looking somewhat in my direction through the corner of my eye; she might be looking at her phone or the dog but no matter.

The couple were the first to exit at the carpark level, leaving me with the guy and his dog.  As he commanded his dog to sit properly, which it did, he was bending forward to touch his dog right in front me as his right faced the lift doors; this was also a prominent position for him to spot my hosed legs but he didn't.

When the lift reached the first floor, I took the route passing letterboxes which was more popular, instead of routing to the back.  Passed the regular shelter, saw a few neighbours walking to and fro but no one noticed.  I took the shortcut across the road as there were no cars, landed at the other side of the road; cars and pedestrians could be seen along here but from what I see, no one were looking at my hosed legs so far; passed an eatery before I entered the mall; which was a crowded place, still no one noticing.

As it was a weekend replenishment, I spent more time at the supermart.  Grabbed what I needed after walking past several areas in the supermart, of some were crowded with people but I just stood there and got what I got.  While going around, I saw the working staff grouped and briefed by their supervisor.  One of the ladies is in nude tone pantyhose and I walked past them, hosed legs unnoticed.   After getting what I needed, I went to a place to pack my items before payment, also where it wasn't isolated and crowded.  Saw the same supermart lady in pantyhose walking past me as I made my way to the cashier again; so far no unusual glances.

After I was done, took the more crowded escalator up; although there were not many people in the mall at this hour, many could be seen walking around.  As I exited the mall, I took the route on the other side of the eatery, stopped at traffic light to get the lights ready, still no unusual glances from what I can see.

Took my time to walk past traffic lights, passed a couple with pram, lone male walkers, passing right by their side and none noticed.  Got into an empty and ready lift, up I went, home James.

Outdoor Hose Report - Repantyhosement

Outdoor Hose Report (updated)

Wanted to go out in berms and hose earlier but was occupied, but eventually got out of the house for a grocery run.  Since I have been to the grocer's nearby, today's venture will be at the bigger store at the other side of the road.

Slipped into the L-LL size of the Propeds Elegant All Sheer Support Pantyhose in Beige, put on my no show socks and loafers since I didn't properly "expose" these hosed legs at the last 2 outdoor experiences, I shall keep the footwear minimal and comfortable.  Wore a pair of above knee berms to maximise this.

Took the lift down, walked past a sheltered MPH, pass a man and woman (OL heading home after work) who didn't notice it though there were lamps lighting the pavement.  Crossed the traffic light with car headlamps shining directly at my hosed legs as I walked on (no, this time I didn't try to look busy), took the busiest escalator down to the grocer's at basement.  Walked casually around with quite a handful of shoppers around in the bright store.   Before reaching the cashier, I deliberately weaved through a mother who was pushing trolley of purchases and went ahead to make my payment.  Passed the "roadshow" booth outside the grocer's, a man in shirt and pants, and took the travelator.

When I reached my block's lobby, a guy was also waiting for the lift; I decided to stand behind him as I still had a little worry about him noticing it (unavoidable when we enter the lift).  Soon, the lift came; I pressed my level and he got his, at the corner of my eye, noticed he probably took a glance without bothering much.  Soon, he was out at his level and I had the lift all to myself till my level.

Home James.

Hose Review - Propeds Elegant All Sheer Support Pantyhose

Another pair of pantyhose up for review.

This pantyhose comes  in a single pair pack.

Considering its price that doubles that of the Support model, the quality has to be good, so remember to bring your own spare.

Waistband
Slightly wider than the Support counterpart, the waistband holds on to the body snugly.

Material
The yarn feels more elastic with a better fit, hence it grips the skin better.  Despite being 20 denier, it does feel thicker, probably due to the finer weaving.  Also, it features matt look as compared to the Support counterpart, hence it goes well if you do not want the legs to look too glossy. 

Panty
This pantyhose is Sheer to Waist, hence works well to go with short bottoms wear to avoid awkward panty seam joint at the thigh area.

Foot
This comes with a sandaltoe so it works perfect with sandals or open toe shoes.  However, do take measure to keep toenails or shoes smooth to prevent runs.

Support strength is still graded as moderate and is just right for me.  However, it does feel more firm due to the construction of the yarn.

It comes in various attractive tones to enhance the legs when worn so it will be just right for everyday wearing.

Comfort: 8/10
Durability: 7/10 (estimated wear count: TBA)
Fit: 8/10

Conclusion
By comfort level, this is one of the pantyhose suitable for daily wear.  Chose Beige as it matches my skintone best.

Outdoor Hose Report - Grocer 24 Hosers

One of the moments where an early grocer visit was needed since bread ran out at home; woke up earlier than usual so that I had time to choose the pantyhose I wanted to go with for this morning trip.  Fortunately there's a 24 hour store nearby for such times, so I might as well take this chance to wear it out.

Decided and slipped into a pair of Propeds Elegant Sheer Support, Nude color with berms, no show socks with regular walking shoes and headed down.  Walked past a domestic maid who didn't notice my hosed legs, then past a couple of men who were at the dropoff area near my place; didn't notice if they saw my hosed legs.  Passed a resident (elderly man) at lift landing of an adjacent block who should be heading off for early shift work; he didn't notice me either.

After passing a few car headlight beams and a few more people, I reached my grocer.  The lady was manning the place alone and busy packing some stuff near the cashier she is also manning; got what I needed and made my way back.

At my lift landing, saw an elderly man in the lift that I needed; was wondering if he will notice my hosed legs; but when the liftdoor opened, he exited, I entered; nothing.

Reached home.
