I have found that buying stockings which can generally be found 
for from 1.00 to 1.50 in 2 to 3 pair quantities generally means
that, even with normal wear and tear, I usually never have to 
buy hosiery more often then once every 18 months or more. I hand
wash them which does not seem to hurt but my job has many sharp edges
around. Some of the mesh variety last longer if I simply would
be more careful.
