However, by 1942 demand for nylon for military use (for example for parachutes) was so great that very few stockings were made. It took till March 1946 for Du Pont to satisfy demand in the U.S.

∙ 11y agoNylons were a brand new invention just before the war, they were almost only available in America and even there for just a short time.
When the war began, the import and production of nylon stockings came to an end, the materials needed for nylon became very hard to get by because of war and any nylon that could be made was needed for the war effort.
So in America people had to manage with the amount of nylons made since their invention till the sales stopped because the war started.
Nylon stockings became rare even in America almost from the moment the war started.
In Europe most women never even saw nylon stockings till after the war.
