Nylon
Synthetic stocking material
Nylon is a synthetic polymer used to make fabric, rope, and molded parts.
As a textile, nylon is strong, lightweight, and quick-drying: nylon stockings, a nylon windbreaker.
The plural nylons typically means women's stockings or pantyhose: She snagged her nylons on a nail.
