not sure this is what he had in mind for man hose, but okay.
octobre's victorian mustard thigh high stockings were featured in a rainy day treasury. it seems that the feminine mystique has not always been so...feminine.

apparently, men wore stockings (pardon me, they were called hose) long before women. they were embroidered, tied above the knee, somewhat fancy and very sultry~
by the 16th century, these two legged hose became one garment. i did not know this.
