What exactly are real
nylon stockings ? It is a frequently used concept but unfortunately also often used incorrectly. Real nylon stockings have a rich history and there are different types, each with its own specific characteristics and wearing comfort. The development of technology has had a major influence on this and has created a uniquely rich history.
There are two different forms of real nylon stockings:
Both types of nylons are characterized by the material composition of 100% nylon and a knitting density of 15 denier. This means they are not stretchy like modern stockings with Lycra, making a good size essential.
The Fully Fashioned (FF) nylon stocking
GIO Fully Fashioned Nylon Stockings Flat knitting of the nylon creates a base in a shape comparable to that of a butterfly. The sides of this are brought together and then sewn together. This creates the well-known rolled seam at the back and is unique to the Fully Fashioned Nylon Stockings, also known as seam stockings. The folded edge is then made, ultimately creating a hole at the top back of the nylon stocking. So you can safely say that these are real ready-to-wear pieces. This method of production gives Fully Fashioned Nylon Stockings their special characteristics:
the appearance of elegance and charm;
a pleasant and easy wearing comfort that gives extra self-confidence;
it does not twist around the leg if you choose the correct size.
Fully Fashioned Nylon Stockings are best worn as high as possible and the choice of good lingerie is essential for pleasant wearing comfort.
Reinforced Heel and Toe (RHT) stockings
GIO RHT Stockings Freely translated, these are nylon stockings with a reinforced heel and toe and the successor to the Fully Fashioned Nylon Stocking. Due to the development of the circular knitting machine, finishing flat material was no longer necessary and this stocking was introduced. Because they are knitted in the round, they have some stretch, but here too, length and girth are not linked to each other. If a size that is too large is chosen, space will quickly arise around the ankles. Especially in the 1950s, this was a nylon stocking that was commonly worn. Even today, they are still available in many colors and can be a good choice if you start wearing real nylon stockings. But good lingerie is also essential for these stockings to ensure pleasant wearing comfort.
