Diesel hosiery

13 pieces

Tights, stockings, hold-ups, and fine socks from the hosiery houses. Denier gives the weight of the yarn: under 20 is sheer, 30 to 40 is semi-opaque, and 60 and over is opaque and warm. A reinforced toe and a flat-seam gusset make a pair last and sit better. Hosiery sizes run by height and weight together, so read the shop’s chart instead of a letter alone. Prices and sizes are as each shop last listed them. Diesel hosiery: 13 pieces in the shops this guide follows.
