Goodie2Shoes said:So I've decided I'm going to search out true vintage stockings. I got 2 pairs on Ebay the other week. Brand new still in the box. They are great. I don't know what denier they are. One pair is french. So my question, anyone know what a "good denier" is? Like should I pick a 15 over a 30 when searching? Any help would be appreciated. I do buy what I like no matter what but having some history and fact goes along way with me! THANKS!!!!!
The lower the denier, the finer and more sheer the stocking (and also more delicate and prone to runs.) The higher the gauge, the more needles used to knit the stocking, and the more silky the stocking will feel.
