Nylon being a synthetic fabric made from petroleum was developed in the 1930s as an alternative to silk as in silk stockings, but was unavailable to civilian consumers due to World War II. Developed by the Dupont Chemical company.
Nylon is great for its light weight and tensile strength, durability, and resistance to damage. Can be dyed easily, made available in a wide array of colors for consumers.
It is the 2nd most used fiber in the United States, since it is so versatile and relatively easy to make. Plus it looks great on women's legs!
