For those people who think that run resistant pantyhose is a new thing, have a look at these from 30 years ago.
Woodsonia was a house brand of Woodward’s department stores in British Columbia and Alberta, which operated for a century before being sold to The Hudson Bay company in 1993.
My friend had a stash of these vintage pantyhose at home and she gave it to me to sell. She bought it herself all those years back, but kept it new and untouched.
100% nylon and non run – sounds like impossible combination? At least some of the modern brands use lycra fusion to create such resistance, but here they say that it’s all about the stitch.
From a quick search online, we see that Woodsonia brand doesn’t exist anymore. Only what’s left of it is a few items advertised online for sale in either BC or Alberta provinces.
In case you want to try it, I only have one pair here in off white, Medium size. $4.99
These are made in Canada, most likely in Vancouver. Oh, those were the good times when we had pantyhose locally made here! Such pantyhose even had “Shop Canadian” logo on them. Too bad I wasn’t around yet to shop.
In British Columbia we have a long weekend because of the Remembrance Day. This is something that is taken very seriously in Canada.
