Until the end of the 1930s, the best socks were made of silk, but when Dupont Chemicals invented a new material called "Nylon" in 1935, it changed forever. Although nylon stockings were at the same price as the silk stockings, The Americans have come to them in abundance, and Dupont has struggled to produce what meets the demand of American shoppers who bought most of the company's production, while part of the nylon production goes to the US military.
In 1942, America announced its entry into the Second World War. Most of Nylon's Dupont became war-oriented, they made nylon to make umbrellas and bomb frames, and the production of socks fell considerably, but the Americans did not succumb to despair after getting used to nylon.
A new trade has emerged, called the "draw of the socks," presented by beauty salons. Alongside make-up, manicure and pedicure, salons are using cosmetics to draw a sock shape around the legs. The fashion spread overseas to England, The lack of nylon globally, although it was still a recent invention, exists only in a limited number of countries.
At the end of the war, less than two weeks after Japan surrendered, Dupont returned to produce women's heavy-duty nylon stockings. The stampede of the women's shops led to a series of riots in 1945 and 1946. In other countries that remained economically disadvantaged after the war, "Dupont" was used throughout the 1950s, and Dupont has flourished. Nylon has been used in many commercial products, such as nylon bags, food wrappers and bags, but women's socks have always been on top. Today, Dupont ranks second as the world's largest chemical company in terms of the value The market, and the fourth in the world in terms of revenue.
