Black Hose

19 years ago

Several months ago someone on this forum said that black hose were no longer fashionable. The ladies around here still wear them. Do you wear black hose?

Sure, if I were to wear black nylons, it would have to be the sheer type, not the kind that look like tights.

Sheer black with dressy dress unless you have really great looking legs and can go without stockings. The fashion experts recommend no stockings, but I can't do that unless I did a quick fake tan. I don't like the way nude or tan stockings look with dressy dresses in the winter or summer for that matter.

I wear black tights with shorter skirts and flats. I think it is a good look, particularly with plaids.

After market hose kits are available. Are they any better than the original? Not sure. Mine is rubber, but also, not very flexible when recoiling. Go to Sears or any big box store and compare the quality difference. I really don't use my washer enough to have it really bother me, but when I do use it, I end up trying to untangle the hose more than once to get it to recoil properly. You would think for what even the cheaper gas models cost, they could at least supply them with a hose that remains flexible enough condusive with the working pressure of the washer.

Is there such a thing as softer, more flexible low pressure hose?

tof, Me again. There is but possibly not for your intended use of irrigation. The black poly pipe which I believe you are referring to has two purposes. Provide the cheapest quality material for pressure loss and longevity properties. You can get more flexible hoses but they will not have those properties unless you buy more expensive industrial grade products. The second reason the poly pipe is less flexible, is that it is made to puncture irrigation fittings into the pipe. You would not be able to do this with the puncture tool if it was not stiff enough.

Thanks for the quick responses. If this is indeed the crankcase breather hose (which certainly makes sense), I think it's probably still connected to the crankcase breather...I think I just need to insert the other end in the hole in the air filter assembly. Just so I'm sure about this, it sounds like I'm looking simply for a hole in the air filter assembly that's approximately the diameter of the hose, NOT a fitting per se., correct? And crankcase fumes travel through this hose, through the opening in the air filter assembly, so they're processed through the filter? Sorry if I'm sounding idiotic but I just want to make sure this is right. Thanks again in advance for assistance and I hope y'all are staying cool! Larry

I'm not one to go with fads. I'm overweight and I find that black bottoms (skirt or pants) with black shoes need black hose to help elongate the leg and look slimmer. I'm not necessarily talking tights, but at least hose. Nude hose or (God forbid) no hose "break up" the leg, so your eye stops and doesn't travel down the body as well.

Just my 2 cents!

I only wear beige colored stockings anymore.. with everything. I used to wear black skirts and black stockings until I saw a picture of myself in all black from the waist down, and THAT is all I saw! not the beautiful jacket I had on. Now, I wear a jacket and skirt in any color BUT black with beige stockings and NOW you see my outfit and my face...and for me, it has had a slimming effect.
