BBC Radio Kent/Mantyhose Interview - Sept. 25, 2009

Sept. 25, 2009 - Andrew Garland of BBC Radio in Kent interviews Steve Newman, publicist and marketing director for ActivSkin, the world's first company to sell sheer and opaque tights made especially for men.  Because of recent UK press stories related to a line of 'Mantihose' being introduced in one of the leading London department stores, interest in men's tights has skyrocketed recently.  Although not a new phenomenon in the U.S., the British seem to have been taken completely be surprise to learn that so many have been wearing tights under their trousers for years.  Reasons include for poor leg circulation, improved stamina in athletics, or warmth-without-bulk in outdoor settings.
