Going through some of the past posts here I realized I dont have that many that are stocking focused. I feel like this over the years the secretary fantasy is slowly dying. Not too many men can appreciate nylons these days as they have pretty much fallen out of fashion. These silky little things have the nickname "Nylons" because they were made from the nylon fiber in 1939 by Dupont. They were first stockings that came above the knee and you needed a garter belt to attach to hold them in place. The stockings back then had no stretch (other than how they were knitted) so they would bag up and fall down if not properly attached. They also were not silky to the hand, they were rather scratchy. But it made the ladies legs look nice and smooth and soon had a sex appeal to them. When WW2 hit, the nylon material was then rationed to the war for parachutes and other stuff, so stockings were no longer being produced. Ladies began to paint stitches on the backs of their legs to emulate stockings, they used different inks and even gravy painted on the legs. The seams on the back of stockings were because the machines they had to create the stockings were not circular, as they are now, so they had to be cut and sewn leaving a seam up the back of the leg. Pantyhose came about in the 60's in response to the short skirt/dress craze. Before the 60's dresses and skirts were always below the knee, so the stocking and garters were hidden under. With the short skirt/dress craze of the 60's ladies had to go bare legs, but when the winter hit there was a problem. So pantyhose was created, the nylons went all the way up the legs and around the waist. So here are some pics from history just for fun.
