You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.234.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:36, 2 January 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Kayser-Roth Corporation''' (a subsidiary of ((Interlanguage link multi|Golden Lady Company|it))) is an [[underwear]] and [[hosiery]] manufacturer based in [[Greensboro]], [[North Carolina]]. The company currently markets three owned brands in [[North America]]: [[No Nonsense (brand)|No Nonsense]], Hue, and Burlington.

==History==
Julius Kayser & Co., the predecessor to the modern Kayser-Roth Corporation, was founded in the early 20th century by [[Julius Kayser]] and was a manufacturer of [[hosiery]], [[lingerie]] and [[gloves]]. In 1958, the company purchased the [[Chester H. Roth]] Company, forming Kayser-Roth. [[Alfred P. Slaner]], the first head of the merged company, developed Supp-Hose hosiery.<ref name="Kayser1958">((cite web|url=http://www.textilehistory.org/Kayser-RothNC.html |title=Kayser Roth Corporation |publisher=Textile Industry History |accessdate=2010-09-04 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100910094718/http://www.textilehistory.org/Kayser-RothNC.html |archivedate=2010-09-10 ))</ref><ref name=SunSent>((Cite web|first= |last= |authorlink=   |title= Alfred Slaner, Executive Who Developed Supp-Hose |publisher=[[South Florida Sun-Sentinel]]|date=March 15, 1996 |url= https://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/fl-xpm-1996-03-15-9603140672-story.html|accessdate=))</ref>

In 1962, Kayser-Roth acquired Interwoven hosiery company,<ref>((Cite web |title=Interwoven Mills, Martinsburg (1890-1976) |url=https://theclio.com/entry/82317 |access-date=2023-04-20 |website=Clio |language=en))</ref><ref>((Cite web |last=Jenrette |first=Jerra |title=Interwoven Mills |url=http://www.wvencyclopedia.org/print/Article/863 |access-date=2023-04-20 |website=The West Virginia Encyclopedia))</ref> continuing to use the Interwoven brand, until it was merged with Esquire brand in 1971 to Interwoven-Esquire.<ref>((Cite news |date=1971-12-08 |title=Brands to Be Combined |language=en-US |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1971/12/08/archives/brands-to-be-combined.html |access-date=2023-04-20 |issn=0362-4331))</ref>

In 1968, a merger with [[Penn Central Transportation Company]] was explored, however terms could not be agreed on.<ref>Kayser-Roth to join Penn Central about Jan 1 ''[[Railway Age]]'' October 7, 1968 page 1</ref><ref>Merger dropped by Penn Central ''[[New York Times]]'' November 7, 1968 page 65</ref><ref>Penn Central, Kayser-Roth merger halted ''Railway Age'' November 11, 1968 page 7</ref> Kayser-Roth merged with the [[Commonwealth Shoe and Leather Co.]] that same year, acquiring the Bostonian shoe brand.

In 1973, in order to compete with the L'eggs brand (currently owned by [[HanesBrands]]), Kayser-Roth launched No Nonsense, which was one of the first brands of hosiery to be sold in [[supermarket]]s, [[pharmacy|drugstore]]s and [[discount department store]]s. In 1975, Kayser-Roth was purchased by conglomerate [[Gulf and Western Industries|Gulf+Western Industries]].<ref name=SunSent />

In the years under Gulf+Western's ownership, improvements were made to Canadian manufacturing plants, most notably in [[Ontario]] and [[Quebec]]. Forays into diverse markets such as the automotive industry were carried out.  During the late-1970s and early-1980s almost every [[General Motors|GM]] automobile produced had Kayser-Roth components on board.((Citation needed|date=September 2017))

In 1984, Kayser-Roth acquired the women's underwear division of [[Calvin Klein (fashion house)|Calvin Klein]] Industries and the use of the designer's name for that business.<ref>((cite news|title=Calvin Klein, Kayser-Roth|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1984/08/28/business/calvin-klein-kayser-roth.html|work=The New York Times|date=August 28, 1984))</ref>

In 1985, Gulf+Western began divesting all of its non-entertainment enterprises, with Kayser-Roth being sold to the [[Wickes Companies]]. In 1993, the Mexican hosiery manufacturer Grupo Synkro purchased the company for approximately $230 million.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.thefreelibrary.com/GRUPO+SYNKRO+AND+MEXICAN+INVESTMENT+GROUP+AGREE+TO+ACQUIRE...-a014659839|title=GRUPO SYNKRO AND MEXICAN INVESTMENT GROUP AGREE TO ACQUIRE KAYSER-ROTH CORPORATION|publisher=PR Newswire Association LLC|accessdate=2010-09-04|archive-date=2012-10-21|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121021020746/http://www.thefreelibrary.com/GRUPO+SYNKRO+AND+MEXICAN+INVESTMENT+GROUP+AGREE+TO+ACQUIRE...-a014659839|url-status=dead))</ref>

In 1999, Italian Golden Lady, the largest hosiery manufacturer in Europe, acquired Kayser-Roth Corporation from Grupo Synkro and reorganized the company. During the 2000s, the No Nonsense brand expanded to include [[Brassiere|bra]]s, [[panties]], [[sleepwear]], [[sock]]s for women and men, and foot comfort products.((Citation needed|date=September 2017))

In April 2011, Kayser-Roth partnered to become an exclusive distributor of socks and hosiery for [[Jockey International]].((Citation needed|date=September 2017))

Today((When|date=June 2020)), Kayser-Roth products are featured on the television show ''[[Gossip Girl]]'' (2007-2012) and have also previously been showcased on ''[[The View (talk show)|The View]]'' (1997-present).((Citation needed|date=September 2017))
