I can't spend £45 on a pair of cashmere tights but I really want to.

What do you think of them? www.brora.co.uk/Product/Product.aspx?WebShopCodeStr=A0&WebSegmentCodeStr=S5&WebCategoryCodeStr=CR&StyleCodeStr=WK003.

Which colour would you go for if you were (hypothetically) buying them. I think burgundy.

I thought burgundy too, then put the catalogue into the recycling before I did something silly !

Burgandy or Deisel. They do look lovely but I don't think I could bring myself to pay £45 or tights.

Good reviews though so if you love them go for it

[bearcrumble]

I am spending half my time trying to justify buying them (recent tax rebate) and half going "just don't be so stupid".

Plus I'd be bound to snag them on a rosebush on their first outing.

There's a 20% code that's valid until 9th October I think - I found it on here and used it yesterday - if you do a search? Might make them a little bit easier to justify!

[cyb]

Don;t do it. you will snag them on the first day. Go to primark they ahve patterned wooly tights a plenty, £3 a pop

[FattyArbuckel]

The compromise is M&S autograph around £10 a pair - so much better than the £3 tights I usually get. I have binned all my £3 tights now as have been spoilt by the Autograph ones!

[ebojones]

I had the M&S ones last year and highly recommend... I am off to buy more today for this winter. £45! I would hardly dare to leave the house in them!!!!!

[Heartsease]

I agree that last year's M&S cashmere and merino tights were fab and mine are definitely good to do more service this winter. I'll be buying more.

[BelligerentGhoul]

I love the M&S Autograph ones. Are they doing lots more lovely ones this year?

I've got black, grey and wine from last year, still in perfect condition - I wore them loads and they also helped to keep me warm when worn under my jeans in Prague at the end of December!

[SixtyFootDoll]

£45 on a pair of tight? I dont spend that much on a pair o Boots.
Are you a milliionaire?!

[Millie1]

If you really like them, and can afford them, then buy them . As an alternative (although I haven't even clicked the Brora link!), these from Falke look lovely.

20% off code is EASYAW10

[ebojones]

I got a lovely Autograph merino pair in Navy today to wear with a navy floral tunic / dress. £9.50!

[nickschick]

Will you link the m&s ones puuurlease

[ebojones]

Not good with links - I am a technological fuckwit. But they are on the M&S site - they are called Autograph Luxury Merino blend wool tights - 100 denier

[bearcrumble]

Thanks ever so much for the Brora code.

Also many thanks for the M+S suggestion, I'll have a look at their tights too.

Everythingiseverything There is a whole section for codes! it is in the legal and money section - www.mumsnet.com/Talk/promotional_codesbargains

[bearcrumble]

These seem to be the marks ones but they aren't patterned like the Brora ones www.marksandspencer.com/Autograph-Luxury-Merino-Denier-Tights/dp/B003RM45G8?_encoding=UTF8&categoryNodeID=42967030&node=42967030&mnSBrand=core&ref=sr_1_2&qid=1286044384&sr=1-2&rh=&page=
