Abstract: An elastic stocking has external and internal sides; a leg engaging portion thereof includes two longitudinal edges, and each of the edges has internal and external sides, respectively. The stocking includes a zipper which has two synthetic plastic material engaging portions and magnetic material closing means. The latter is movable along the engaging portions for closing and opening the zipper. The engaging portions are attached to the internal sides of the longitudinal edges, respectively. Upon the closing means having attached the engaging portions to one another, the longitudinal edges overlap with one another and substantially prevent the zipper being visible from the external side of the stocking.
