Maker of stockings (6)

I believe the answer is:

hosier

(Other definitions for hosier that I've seen before include "Shopkeeper who sells stockings" , "Dealer in socks and stockings" , "Manufacturer or seller of stockings" , "tight merchant" , "seller of 24 [NYLONS]" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
