Spats

[webofevil]

I saw a guy yesterday in the building wearing spats. Spats! He was under 30 and wearing a suit. And actual SPATS.


For illustration purposes only. Actual spats are worn slightly higher on the shoe with a longer trouser.

Are they making a comeback? What meeting did I miss?

Thank you for posting this as though I've read the word many times I'd no idea what spats were. Detachable bellbottoms, apparently.

But my dear chap, do you mean to say you hadn't heard?

I have some spare ones if you want to borrow a pair...

The singer from The Feeling was wearing them 2 1/2 years ago, which impressed me at the time.

Are you sure that they weren't the chap's PJs, his trues pulled on over the top in great haste that morning?

I saw that dude in the palace, too! He looked about 18 and he was probably some horrible Tory's researcher.

Actually more like shoulder pads for your shoes. They look great with shorts.

More to the point, where does one _get_ them?
