Dealer in socks and stockings (6)
I believe the answer is:
hosier
'dealer in socks and stockings' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for hosier that I've seen before include "Dealer in socks and stockings" , "Shopkeeper who sells stockings" , "Manufacturer or seller of stockings" , "seller of 24 [NYLONS]" , "One sells socks and stockings" .)
