Non-stretch slinky plain knit 100% nylon seamfree stockings, made in Italy. The stockings have a shaped heel and toe, but these are not significantly reinforced, hence our classification as Shadow Heel and Toe.
The denier of the yarn used in the manufacture of these stockings is not specified, but we would assess these to be very sheer 20 denier. The manufacturer states on the pack
like silk
which is a very accurate description, because they have a silk-like feel and a lovely, distinctive, silky sheen.The 72mm-deep welt (aka stocking-top) is stretchy, for additional comfort, and the under/afterwelt is almost non-existent ( a mere 8mm), which makes these lovely vintage nylons perfect for those higher hemlines.
