For true nylon aficionados, our Cuban Heel Fully Fashioned Stockings represent the pinnacle of vintage hosiery. Made on original 1950s Reading knitting machines, these stockings are crafted to the exacting standards of mid-century glamour, offering an authentic look and feel that’s impossible to replicate with modern techniques.

At a Glance:

The defining feature of these classic stockings is the Cuban heel – a bold, squared-off rectangular heel that rises high at the ankle, creating a strong, structured finish that perfectly complements the back seam. Sleek, sultry, and undeniably vintage, this is the ultimate stocking style for those who love a little extra drama below the hemline.

A Note on Fit and Availability

Like all fully fashioned stockings, these are delicate and size-specific, designed to fit a traditional vintage size range. Due to the rarity of the original machinery and production limitations, we’re unable to offer extended sizes at this time – though we know how frustrating this is.

If you’re at the lower end of the height range for your size, consider sizing down for the best fit.

Perfect for pin-up shoots, evening wear, or adding an extra touch of vintage polish to your day, our Cuban heel fully fashioned stockings are a glamorous essential for any retro wardrobe – proudly made in Britain, and steeped in authentic hosiery history.
