1960s - Tights Man!


Hardly had the demand for seam free stockings been met when there was a new innovation in the hosiery market - tights. It was in 1967 that Aristoc first began producing tights using new techniques of joining separate bodies and legs. Over-production, price-cutting and the wearing of trousers with knee-highs was causing concern for all hosiery manufacturers, with foreign imports rapidly becoming a threat to the British manufacturers. The British Branded Hosiery Group was formed to combat this threat by promoting British brands to the public.
