American Stockings is a directory and catalog of American Stockings. 

May include any of the following:

• Cuban-Heel -With a heel made with folded over and sewn reinforcement.
• Demi-Toe - Stockings that have a reinforced toe with half the coverage on top as on the bottom.
• Denier - The lower the denier number the sheerer the garment. Stockings knitted with a higher denier tend to be less sheer but more durable.
• Fishnet - Knitted stockings with a very wide open knit resembling a fish net.
• Fencenet - Similar to fishnet, but with a much wider pattern. These are sometimes worn over another pair of stockings or pantyhose, such as matte or opaque, with a contrasting colour.
• Full-Fashioned - Full-fashioned stockings are knitted flat, the material is then cut and the two sides are then united by a seam up the back. Full-fashioned stockings were the most popular style until the 1960's.
• Hold-ups or Stay-ups - Stockings that are held up by sewn-in elasticated bands.
• Matte - Stockings which have a dull or non-lustre finish.
• Mock Seams - A false seam sewn into the back of a seamless stocking.
• Nude Heel - Stockings without reinforcement in the heel area.
• Opaque - Stockings made of thicker yarn which give them a heavier appearance (usually 40 denier or greater).
• Sandalfoot - Stockings with a nude toe, meaning no heavier yarn in the toe than is in the leg.
• Seamed - Stockings manufactured in the old Full-Fashioned manner with a seam running up the back of the leg. In the past they were manufactured by cutting the fabric and then sewing it together. Today stockings are generally fully knitted and a fake or mock seam is added up the back for a particular fashion look.
• Seamless - Stockings knit in one operation on circular machines (one continuous operation) so that no seaming is required up the back.
• Sheers - Stockings generally of a 15 to 20 denier.
• Knee-Highs - Stockings that terminate at or just barely below the knee.
• Thigh-Highs - Stockings that terminate somewhere in the mid-thigh.
• Ultra Sheer - A fine denier fiber which gives the ultimate in sheerness. Usually 10 denier.
• Welt - A fabric knitted separately and machine-sewn to the top of a stocking. Knit in a heavier denier yarn and folded double to give strength for supporter fastening.
