Stockings, Hose, and Garters - Sharon Lathan, Novelist
Stocking, hose, sock... These are just a few terms for the many types of leg coverings that are woven or knitted of cloth, silk, wool, and cotton to provide both warmth and modesty. The styles, lengths, materials, weaves, etc. would change over the centuries, usually in response to garment fashion.
