The advent of the nylon stockings took women's fashion by storm. Following the 1938 announcement of the invention, production was already in full swing by 1940. Propelled forth by the huge public success (women were quite literally lining up in front of hosiery shops), in the first few days alone 4 million pairs of nylons were sold.
