We have not found a lot of other patterned stockings besides striped stockings. WE do note argles. They were primarily associated with Highland outfirs, but we see them worn with suits as well. This ws not bvery common, but we do see examples. Our English archive is not large, but is growing. This it is a little difficult to assess trens such as chronology and age. One complication here is we are not entirely sure about the type of hosiery involved. The argyles worn with Highland outfits were knee socks, but turn-or top socks. And turn-over tops when pulled up are esentially long stockings. We are still working out how to categorize them. It is difficult because when worn with knee pants or knickers it is difficult to tell how long they were.
