Question
According to Mishmeret HaTorah one must wear 40-denier foot tights. I wanted to ask whether for black tights as well one needs 40 denier. There is also a type of foot socks/tights in a very dark color — vizon color — and I bought 40 denier, but after one or two washes they became really thick and looked almost like regular thick socks and as opaque as 60 denier. Is it permissible, in the dark color, to buy only 20 denier?
Thank you very much!!
Thank you very much!!
Answer
Shalom and blessings.
Everything depends on the level of opacity, and not on the “number” that is written.
However, generally speaking, the number indicates how opaque it is.
