Stockings 101:
- RHT stands for Reinforced Heel and Toe. Typically without backseam, RHT stockings will have a welt, shadow welt, and a separate heel reinforcement and toe reinforcement.
- FFS stands for Fully Fashioned. Fully-fashioned stockings have a welt, shadow welt, keyhole, seam and heel reinforcement that extends under the foot.
- Full Contrast stands for the seam (if applicable), heel, toe and welt in a contrasting color from the leg of the stocking.
- Backseam stands for the seam that runs from welt to heel along the back of the leg.
- Stockings require a garter belt to be worn, whereas thigh highs do not. If you purchase any garter belt or girdle, you will receive 10% off any pair of stockings.
- Welt is the name for the top of the stocking.
- Point Heel, Cuban Heel, etc refer to the style in regard to the stye area where the reinforcement of the heel meets the backseam.
- 100% nylon stockings have very little stretch to them and are held in high regard and often considered to define elegance. They can only be made on very specific machinery such as the Pendolina knitting machines used by Gio. They must be handled with care by hand washing only and must be hang dried. 100% nylon stockings will often have a slight buckle at knees or ankles after being worn for long periods of time. Please be sure to reference the size charts.
- Nylon blend stockings are typically blended with a more stretchy material such as lycra. This will give them more stretch over the 100% nylon stockings.
