Fogal velour may bear the name of the well known material but it is not actually made of velour instead these tights are made from the more conventional nylon and elastane blend that tights are traditionally made from so why pick this name simply because these tights are some of the finest and softest fogal have made taking on the qualities of this velvety soft material this is because fogal uses the highest quality nylon in the world making their leg wear more like silk or velvet than nylon
