Nothing but class... Item is well constructed, very well sewn so elegant. It topped off the black and white ensemble with the top hat and killed the crowd for the evening!

I bought these white spats when I bought my grey pair. I have not gotten to wear these yet as I bought these for formal wear. I love the fabric though! Very nice looking. If the grey pair I've already worn for 2 weeks gives any indication, then these white pair will certainly be a delight!

Fantastic product. I have worn them for a now out with my wife and everyone was not only praises how sharp I looked, but mamy praised for knowing what spatz are. I bought an extra pair just incase.

The Spats are a great look with dark trousers and black boots or shoes. The ankle measurements provided made for a great fit.

I used the measuring guide to order and had to return. The product appears to run small. However, when you get the correct size for your foot- very snazzy!!

The material of these spats is high quality and the covered buttons make them perfect for a Great Gatsby white tie affair.

This is the third pair of spats I've purchased from the Emporium, and as always, they're quite pleasing. This time, however, I had a special project - tie dyed spats for Easter. So this review will come in two parts: General and Crazy Crafter Who Drops $30 On Spats They Might Destroy. General - lovely spats! They're made from a soft, light weight twill with satin lining. Very comfortable. I did not think until after it was far too late to call customer service and as "are these preshrunk cotton?" that they might be preshrunk cotton. (Spoiler: they're preshrunk cotton) The one word of caution I would give is that after leaving them sopping wet for 24 hours, there was rust coloured staining on the buttons. Given that these are not meant for puddle hopping this will likely not be an issue for most people, but if you do fall in a lake or some such, at least hit them with a hairdryer somewhat sharpish. I tumbled mine on low in the dryer and they came out Just Dandy. Crazy Crafter - survived being tied up and dunked in boiling dye baths repeatedly like a champ! I used RIT's Dye More line because I had it on hand, but since they're cotton, the regular RIT should do. Took the colour beautifully, not only outside, but inside as well. This means that the white satin spats would likely also dye. Don't let them sit wet overnight (see above). Tumble dry and iron on medium heat. Preshrunk cotton, so order the size you want rather than a size up. An excellent option for weddings,...

I love these! They are very well made, and the overall quality was better than anticipated. They look very snazzy on my hubby.

Very attractive spats and they sure show off when you wear them with a suit and black oxford shoes.

As with everything else I've ordered from Historical Emporium, these spats are of excellent quality. These are not costume or novelty items, they are made to be worn. I wear a 10.5 and my ankle measures just over 10" so I ordered the large to be on the safe side. They fit perfectly over a pair of wingtips, look sharp and button securely.

excellent quality

Great pair of shoes. Perfect for my late Victorian reenactment.

I normally wear a size 11 shoe, but when I received my original order in this size, my foot was moving all over in a too large shoe. The size 10 replacement (raising the cost with the addition shipping and return charges) was fine for size but is very stiff and the sole is not near as comfortable as other shoes I have ordered from the emporium, which I can wear all day with no pain.

This is a very attractive boot. Unfortunately, I have sent mine back for a refund. The width was just too narrow.

I feel dressed up just thinking about them. Plan on breaking them in. The pull on strap broke straight away. They offered full exchange including shipping but I declined as I had worn them a bit and it seemed a minor issue. More of an issue is how the top edge of the boot cuts in at my ankles. Perhaps it is my shape, but I think they will be fine after some wearing in.

SOOO AWESOME

The quality of these boots is unmatched! Supreme.

These Boots got to me only the other morning & What a Grand delight they are they fitted perfectly if slightly tight .these boots will go with me to bloodlust ball for my Edwardian Dandy outfit then again when i go to the gangsters ball a great purchase indeed.

Package was received on time, However I was utterly disappointed with the quality and look of the shoes. The leather was already creased and it was constructed poorly and made from cheep materials. I will certainly be returning them. If you're looking for a decently maids that shoe, look elsewhere.

I saw these boots here on Historical Emporium and was astonished at once. Ordered them both in black/white and in brown. I love both pairs, the look is unbeaten. Once you manage your feet inside, you will find that the little struggle was perfectly worth it! Will order these again if they ever wear off. The sole is high quality.

These spat shoes are every bit as gorgeous as the photo. They get gasps and positive comments everywhere, However, they are really very tight and the upper is not very high quality. I had trouble getting them on (they are sized a tad small), and the rear tab broke the first time I pulled on it. I took them to bootmaker to see if they could be stretched and the answer is no. Apparently they are made of corrected leather, which is pre-shrunk. So there is no way to stretch them. Get them a size larger than you think you need. Unfortunately, I am a size 13 and that's the largest size they offer.

Love the fit and style of this shoe. The only reason I can't give it a full five stars is because there is a Blemish near the zipper on one of the shoes. It looks like a blot of black tar. It is on the white part of the shoe. I decided since it did not effect the function of the shoe, it was not a big deal, no need to return it. Highly recommend this stylish shoe of yore.

These shoes have gotten attention from day 1. Arrived packaged very nicely, true to size and very comfortable!

This is a quality made shoe. The size on the box was 10D. I think "D" means wide. This should have fit my foot, but it was too narrow. Called the store and they said they have nothing wider, so I had to return it. I had been concerned the "spat" portion of the shoe would not be visible below my trousers. But it was and looked great. Sorry to have to send it back

Great quality, great service, great delivery time. I'll be back to order in the future.

The piece de resistance of my ensemble incorporated to play my part as the eccentric--if a bit foppish--Uncle at my neice's wedding this summer. Sublime.

Beautiful product but it is very hard to use. The buttons are very hard to put in place and you must twist and turn in order to get this to work.

I am very pleased at the time of shipment from the time of order. Upon opening the package on arrival,I am EXTREMELY pleased with the craftsmanship and durability these spats seem to possess. VERY well made product.I definitely will be ordering another pair or possibly pairs to match some vest colors and jackets! Thank you so much for an easily navigable web page, incredible choices in products, very timely service and extremely professional business manner and customer service. Historical Emporium definitely has retained me as a supportive & returning customer.

I've been wanting to get more spats to give me more flexibility and these are just a great as all the spats and other products I've received from the HE. I will, of course be buying more as I widen my color choices.

These add a lot of character to the outfit...Thanks...

These are the third pair of spats I've purchased from Historical Emporium and they are superb in quality and price

I bought 2 pairs of spats. 1 pair of brown, 1 pair of crimson (which are more of a burgandy color). The quality is first rate. The shipping was fast and the sizing is spot on. Gentleman's Emporium is one of my favorite web stores to shop at.

What can I say? They're comfortable, stylish, and I get lots of compliments on them. Plus the brown is a nice shade; it matches a safari jacket I got here that the store no longer carries. If you need good spats that are noticeable (but not overly so), these are them.

Had a roaring twenties New Year's Eve party to attend. These spats over my wing tipped shoes was the bee's knees!

Very well made, excellent quality, authentic style, and they perfectly match two of your double breasted vests that I have in my closet. Couldn't be happier.

super Item!!

This pair of spats will go perfectly with my business suits as I go to work in the colder months. I own 2 pairs of my Army issue black oxford shoes, as well as some vintage Florsheim Imperials in cordovan. With these spats, they will offset my navy, dark grey sharkskin, and green Alexander London worsted and tweed suits quite nicely. These appear to be a quality product, sewn ruggedly, made with durable material.

Needed spats for a wedding, Historical Emporium came through with fast delivery.

A must have in an cool outfit

They covered a bit more of the shoe than I thought they would.

I was happy to get this pair of beautiful, burgundy velvet spats! The fabric is luxurious, and the ribbon ties are dainty. My concern was whether I would have difficulty sliding them over my booties, but they were easy to get on and off. They stay in place and look elegant. Happy with this purchase!

They are cute, and seem like good quality, but they seem too small. I didn't think I had "cankles" but when I laced these up there was a large gap across the top. No one seemed to notice though.

Steampunk outfit for Halloween. They look great and complete the outfit.

Match the hat spat I purchased last year perfectly and if I find it the puff tie. Excellent service and quality

Great Product. Well made, great fit, price is very reasonable and they look just as they do in the photo if not better. Will certainly purchase more. Thank you Historical Emporium!

These velvet spats make the boot look very Victorian. Love the look.

For the life of me, I cannot figure out why there are not more reviews on this product! I dress in costume for a local group of women and I wanted a pair of spats that I could wear over my existing shoes and save me a purchase of another pair of boots or shoes. These fit the bill ... perfectly! Oh my goodness, they are so easy to put on and they're very comfortable. I did not notice once during my time in costume that I knew I had a pair of spats on. I love the way they shape my ankle. I had another pair that I had custom made with a pattern, and I thought the spat made my ankles look like elephant ankles! These hug my ankles and give the illusion slim and long. I'm short; 5'2"! ! I'll take any length I can get! The quality is that of hand made. The velvet is of quality and the ribbon tie is a very stylish touch. The elastic that runs across the bottom of the foot is secured tightly so you won't have to worry about it slipping around or a malfunction of the stitching coming undone. They are secure! Overall, it is a purchase that I have no regrets and ... the spats have been getting a lot of mileage from this gal. They really are great!

Love them! Looks great with my saloon girl costume. Very good quality.

Really pleased with how these spats look with my boots! Customer service very helpful and friendly! Will definitely be back to shop again!!

They fit great and was ver well received by others.

This is my newest pair of Spats from the Emporium and they helped set off my evening at the Tremont in Galveston this year for the Dickens Fest. Got all kinds of complements on my dress . very well made and stylish, , will wear them again to the black tie dance and diner for Christmas .

The fabric is wonderful, I also have the matching Satin puff tie. You may say people would not take a look at a man's shoes, nevertheless they do! Otherwise I would never have recieved such great compliments.

Really set of the New Years Victorian-style dress

These are going in my Airship Pirate Doctor attire, and hide a secret as they cover knee high boots I piratized and go excellently with the overall look making them look like dandy brown dress shoes, along with the Sable Brushed Trousers that complete the covering. Suburb quality of any aspiring gentleman.... or sneaky pirate

Like: Material and fit of the Spats was very good Usage: Roaring 20's themed event with black and gold colors focus

Ordered a pair of these to dress up my Formal Hufflepuff outfit and they're great! In the past I've only be able to find cheap, vinyl costume spats which, while effective, have also been rather uncomfortable. These were much more comfortable, especially about the ankle (I have just over a 9" ankle and ordered a pair in small), and look smashing! I'm already looking at different styles and colours.

Matches my smoking jacket perfectly!
