I really want to like these tights, in fact, I do like them (soft, good thickness, and nice colors).  Problem is that in the case of two seperate orders, the tights came with holes in them.... large holes below the knee that can't be hidden.  On the second order I checked the outside packaging (from Amazon) for damage, and that wasn't the issue.  I took them out of the wrapping very, very carefully... but low and behold a ginourmous hole. My assumption is that the holes are made during the process of preparing them for sale (the little card they insert in the leg, etc).  I could handle this happening in one independent instance, but not on two seperate orders.  I have to wonder if this issue is known by the manufacturer, but they ship out anyway.
