The Thermal trials - Part 2

So, time for a man's point of view...

Paul, a seasoned long john wearer and therefore almost expert in such matters, trialled our men's long johns.

Men’s thermal long johns - £7.95

Just dropping you a line expressing my thanks for the men's full length long johns. As you know, I purchased them mainly for playing golf in and when I'm out walking on these bitter cold days. I found them a perfect fit and extremely comfortable, much better than a leading store brand. The garment is very practical due to it's lightweight properties, easy to wash, dries quickly and no need to iron. Taking all this into account, I have found the garment extremely good value for money. (Paul R)

As well as the full length long johns, we also sell 3/4 length long johns which are perfect for men who like to wear them under work trousers to meet their socks.  They are also more discreet around the ankle.

Coming up...our third and final thermal trial - children's long pants.

The Thermal Trials - Part 1

A couple of weeks ago, I put out a request for testers.  Tykes Tights are introducing a range of thermal wear for the whole family and I needed to know whether the stock I had in mind was going to be up to the job.

Based in the UK, our suppliers manufacture the stock locally, meaning that we have no huge shipping costs, customs fees or bank charges to worry about.  This is great news for the customer as we can offer really competitive prices on fantastic quality thermal wear.

So, what did our testers think?

Boy’s thermal long sleeved t-shirt - £6.95

“Size wise as an age 3-5 it was pretty generous. Will wears a size 4-5 long sleeved t-shirt normally and the thermal vest was longer in the arm and lovely and long to keep his bum warm! I really liked the cuff on the sleeve and the material was lovely and soft.

I layered a short sleeve t-shirt over the top as I would with a normal white tee and it looked fine.

He was warm around the house with no heating on and very toasty out and about. I forgot his gloves and he didn't once moan his hands were cold like he normally would.

It is a lovely soft and warm higher than normal quality thermal top that I would definitely recommend.” (Lee-Ann S)

Thank you to Lee-Ann and Will for testing for us. 

Next up...how did Paul fair with the men's longjohns?

Going Thermal!

It has been a busy week at TT HQ, with lots of phone calls, meetings and wheeling and dealing.  The result?  Tykes Tights will proudly be retailers of thermal underwear for boys, right through from age 2 up to age 13.  We can’t wait!

So far, in our catalogue of thermals, we have boys long pants, t-shirts and long sleeved tops.  And it’s not just about the boys – what about matching thermals for dad too?

Our men’s range contains the same items as the boys as well as three quarter length long johns – perfect for those men who don’t want to risk their long johns being spotted around sock level!

Our thermal wear is British made and manufactured by a company in Leicester.  All stock comes directly from the factory meaning that we are able to provide the customer with both fantastic quality and fantastic value for money.   Over the next few weeks, some Tykes customers have kindly offered to ‘test-drive’ a few of the items for us.  We can’t wait to see what they think.  We will, of course, publish all results here on our blog and website for you all to read.
