TICKLE YOUR IVORIES....
....THATS' FEETSIES WITH LADY ELLENS FINE WARE STOCKINGS! We are excited to offer the reenactor purist a very useful ALL PURPOSE natural Unbleached ivory colored Stocking this week! Lady Ellens Fine Ware brings a brand new unisex 18thc style Mens/Women's regular adult size Colonial Reenactor Stocking fresh brand new color to the marketplace this month to celebrate a new season and year round active reenactment events requiring proper foot wear! HUZZAH to all Rev War Reenactors! The color here is true colonial PERIOD CORRECT RESEARCHED Ivory that works for 18th and 19th c costuming needs.
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. I show you the loft when folded over, good thickness quality.
In colonial times walnut shells, moss, onion skins, bark, cochineal, used sugar cone papers, coal, soot, etc could all be used to dye colored fabrics.
These are pure soft cotton to the touch, in a practical solid matches-all pattern, for a good middle class statement of leg wear in candle light environ. They enhance almost any outfit with their fine, 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 2024 All-Star season ahead.

Please be active if you want them as I will require quick notice during busy spring sales to mount my horse for the trip to Post Office. This is a very good price for quality stockings that will truly fit comfortably and launder easily. Reenactor items are selling fast.
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.
