Laddered Legwear

mass update favgroup:51955 -> laddered_legwear

For the specific type of tear seen on things like torn pantyhose. Mostly referred to as "laddered tights" in the real world but can appear on basically any nylon or nylon-like clothing (typically legwear). See post #8348205 (sensitive) for what I'm talking about.

I've sat on this tag concept for a couple of months now because I couldn't find a good name for it. I considered splitting it into thighhighs, pantyhose, bodystocking but it felt kind of extra. Laddered fabric was another option but that can be confused for a sewing technique.

Decided laddered legwear would be best as it parallels seamed legwear in clothing diversiveness. Open (and hoping for) name suggestions though. Will probably populate further if approved.

It could use an alias to something like fabric run, the other common term for it.

I believe this is a "run" in American English.

That's correct. American English they'd be called runs.

Should this imply torn clothes?

Yes. It's damaged, it's torn, so should be implied as such too.

We've already gotten rid of torn legwear, so I hate to go back to legwear for laddered legwear. It's not like you can have laddered socks.

Maybe the original sin of the legwear tags was combining socks with nylon stockings/tights. post #10257987 is a laddered bodystocking, but I wouldn't tag a bodystocking as legwear.

I can split them up into the type of clothing when I get a bit of time. The current favgroup is pretty much entirely pantyhose rn.

Split into these tags to avoid use of "legwear" in a tag.
