Holeproof Hosiery

[3] In October 1928 the corporation was sued by Gotham Hosiery, which charged Holeproof with a patent infringement.

The hose were made of a synthetic yarn composed of derivatives of coal and iron manufactured by Du Pont.

[6] Holeproof Hosiery was made a division of Julius Kayser & Company[6] after it was acquired for $13 million in August 1955.

Holeproof's fixed assets were absorbed by Kayser during a five-year period concluding on June 30, 1960.

The company went public in 1929 and opened the first Holeproof mill at Brunswick, Victoria in 1930, becoming the first manufacturer to produce and market Australian-made self-supporting socks.
