what is denier hosiery
Glossary of Hosiery Terms. Type of heel on a fully fashioned stocking whereby the reinforced part is squared off above the back of the ankle, rather than tapering to a point (which is a Point Heel). See our Cuban Heel Stockings. Denier is the term used to describe the thickness of the hosiery. In simple terms, the more 'see through' (or sheer) the hosiery the lower the number, and the thicker or heavier weight of the hosiery (or opaque), the higher the number. The denier of the product will determine how the product will look on the leg. 10 denier or less.
