Clocked stockings were worn by all genders for several centuries in different forms. As late as the 1920s and 30s, they still regularly appeared in women's fashion. These are a great style choice even with modern clothing. A simulated seam runs down the back of these stockings, which gives them a little extra style and authenticity.  Historical Note-"Lace clocks" were a result of various attempts by hosiers in the 1760s to create an openwork fabric, which led to lace clocks, then to machine-made lace. Lace had for centuries been made only by hand. A form of lace was produced on a stocking frame around 1769.
