Swedish Long Stockings: Beige Stockings
Figure 1.--Here we have a pair of vintage light tan or beige long stockings manufactured in Sweden. We do not know who the manufctuer was.The image comes from the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney, Australia. The Museum estimates that they were made in the 1910s. We are not sure on what basis the estimate was made. Avery high propoertion of the stockings worn in the 1910s, especially by boys, were black. We do note white (mostly for girls and younger boys) and other colors, but they were much less common than black.

A very high proportion of the stockings worn in the 1910s, especially by boys, were black.
