I finally persuaded my husband to wear tights after the MANY times his 
jeans rubbed the inside of his knees bloody raw.  He has terrific legs and 
he looks just fine in them.  After all folks, look back in your history 
books to see how the men of many cultures wore tights with some sort pants 
over them.....the Spanish and Italians in Columbus' time, the English in the 
18th century.....the list goes on.  We think they look odd just because they 
aren't in vogue at the present.  Who knows, in a 100-200 years, maybe 
they'll be back.
