REENACTOR COLONIAL 18th C VERTICAL RIBBED TAN IVORY STOCKINGS COTTON NEW SUMMER

Description

TAN FOR ANY MAN....OR WOMAN.
Lady Ellens Fine Ware brings a brand new unisex 18thc style Mens/Women's regular adult size Colonial Reenactor Stocking fresh to the marketplace this month to celebrate Hot Summer days and year round active reenactment activities that will take place all over the country starting now with a glorious new active  season! HUZZAH to all Rev War Reenactors! PUT your FOOT HERE, MY DEAR for a rib-tickling look! These are juried and museum approved.
This a brand new and limited edition color I  have not offered before: the base is light Ivory and interior stripes when stretched show a classic and gentle tan beige color contrast most colonial compatible! They are truly a gentle and subtle color combo, yet very noticeable and highly sophisticated, so you can be the first of your TROUPE to cut a handsome SWOOP!  Style galore and more!
The new item debut this week is a VERTICAL RIBBED Stocking in soft Ivory/Tan. How is this different, you ask, than Lady Ellens' stocking item referred to as vertical stripe?  Well, in this model of construction, the ribs are raised and tactile, and when pulled onto leg and foot, the stretch yielded becomes an inner color peeking through that was hiding when stocking was at rest. They are more plushy than our regular smooth weave stocking, and resemble elephant wrinkled twisted trunks unworn. Every time they are laundered, they return to this wrinkly state waiting for you to make leg magic again. The magic unfolds when they are stretched, you see above I inserted my arm to show you the result. There is just sufficient elastic in there to avoid bulky gaters/garters for formal dress. All of our stockings have a fitted toe foot like modern styles and a stay put top cuff.
The Stockings are very soft and durable and the stripes will be a touch more dramatic as you pull them on. Perfect for Working Colonials, Dress marches and English Country Dance! I show you how I fold them for sale and shipping with natural yarn tie and the loft they have. I purposefully showed you what they look like at rest at all angles, and the color that appears when pulled onto your leg.  One things for sure.....these are NEW for YOU and exceedingly handsome.
FAIR NOTICE; This is a very limited color so don't "watch" and wait or be late. Please HEED if you NEED!!!! Don't lose out give us a shout!
My husband grinds these into his dancing shoes and marching boots walking all over God's creation and we haven't killed a pair yet....they are truly sturdy don't let the fancy ribs scare you off!!! My sister loves the pink ones.  I also carry straight grey tone. They are classy on either ladies' or men's legs. Please see my other colors on offer on this site.
Our Stockings are 32" long measured from top to toe and will clearly go up over your knee as needed when wearing breeches  for men and petticoats for women.  The finely ribbed cuff has a touch of elastic to keep Stockings up on your leg without use of gaiters/garters, and a have a fitted and reinforced toe/heel area to prevent uncomfortable bunching in marching boots or dancing shoes.  As you may know, "socks" is a modern word, and knitted stockings is the period correct definition of 18th c leg wear.
These are pure soft cotton to the touch, in a solid two tonal color, for an all-purpose work or dressy effect that matches most colonial outfit colors of earthy tones. They enhance almost any outfit with their subtle, period correct form and appearance. In colonial times when men's leg wear was of importance, these portray the correct representation. They are proudly made in America on antique restored machinery and period perfect for the 2021 Decade all- season ahead.
Thank you to all of my previous stocking Buyers, I think you will want to add a pair of these to your wardrobe as well.  Prevent stinky feet in hot weather in pure cotton and prevent embarassment by always having a fresh pair of stockings handy in your haversack!  Go ahead, "sock" it to me, and wager a shilling or two today!
PLEASE NOTE Due to the ONLY EVER poor feedback left by an oversized individual, these reenacting stockings are meant to fit all average adult persons, and the undeserved feedback was the ONLY undeserved complaint in the entire time I have sold sock items. If you feel you have an overly large proportioned body or are massively overweight, please contact me to see if these will fit your special needs. Thank you for attention to the sizing matter.
If, for any reason, you feel dissatisfied with your purchase after arrival, despite very clear listing information provided, please contact me BEFORE leaving Neutral or Negative feedback, and I will discuss and correct any situation that may arise with you. Leaving opinionated unfounded comments serves no purpose to other Buyers when I allow you the chance to communicate openly with fast response, and EBay now posts a Report Buyer option for inappropriate feedback to honest Sellers.
IMPORTANT UPDATE:  ALL SALES FINAL and NO BUYERS REGRET.  If you open a case trying to force me to give you the item at a discount by creating unrelated excuses, all such Buyer activity will be reported to EBay by both the "Report Buyer" feature AND by phone call.  Do not leave Neutral or Negative Feedback unless you contact me first as all issues seem to be caused by buyer misunderstanding or not reading the clearly written listing terms.  Buyer Blocking will be in effect to all persons seeking to argue about period correct issues and rude correspondence.  It has been a pleasure to serve my good customers but sadly as the business grows, so has the number of dishonest buyers on this site.  All of our items are guaranteed, genuine, and carefully described for purchase very clearly.
