Great quality product. Fits as stated. Haven’t used them yet but know they will work

As I had mentioned in a another review on this site, I found Historical Emporium [HE] while doing a Google search for "spats". There was a surprisingly large amount of info available. After looking as some sites I found HE to be the best; best in product selection, information about items, historical background about the products with the most important info being why these items were made and used to begin with. Proved to be very enlightening. I've used these spats with my regular shoes at the office to keep the cold air under my desk from getting my ankles too cold; I do have a footwarmer heating pad for my feet but the spats help to keep my ankles warm without having to wear ankle high boots. A surprisingly clever product that still has a place in the fashion/clothing world of today.

Perfect condition, great quality, fast delivery!

Nice quality. My husband loves them!

I am a professional living history entertainer and as such, my costumes must stand up to regular heavy use. I was very pleased to find that the materials used in making the spats was of good quality and should stand up to regular use and laundering. Thanks for an affordable option.

This product was here is an relatively short amount of time. Also, it is what they say it is. I have to say that their merchandise has great quality to it.

These were the second set of spats that I ordered from you guys and I couldn't be happier!!! They are constructed extremely well and the canvas is nice and heavy, making a very cool statement. They button easily and are perfectly sized. Thanks so much for your company and excellent customer service!! I will be ordering from you again very soon!!

I was concerned about the sizing being different from what I was used to, but the measurement guide on the page was spot-on. They fit my shoes perfectly and don't impede me while wearing them. They fit over tennis shoes as well, giving me the ability to wear comfortable shoes without my shoes breaking the illusion of the overall outfit.

Great spats. High quality. Better than I expected. I’m using my spats on a character I’m creating for use at the Port Of Ludington Maritime Museum. You should see it. Fabulous.

True to size! Very nice!

I got a hat, cane, and spats for my son's steampunk theme wedding. Everything was perfect.

These are so very, very high quality. They're listed as 'silver' but I feel a more accurate description of the color would be 'pearl grey'. And the sizing chart that accompanies the various spats available is absolutely spot-on. They fit as if they were custom-made. I am consistently amazed by the quality of every single item I've purchased here, and these silk spats are no exception.

I just received a pair silver jacquard spats. As part of a 1920's costume it seemed like a good add on. I am very impressed! Good material and nicely finished. Clearly, you get what you pay for. The label stated Historical Emporium so was a unique product. I am very happy with them.

The very first time I wore these I was asked, twice, where I had procured them. "I have been looking for spats like those, where ever did you find them?" Indeed, these spats are much nicer than the typical sort of spats you might find. I am quite pleased with them. These spats do not slide around or misbehave the way poorly made spats might. Note that I used the sizing advice and found it to be accurate. Measure your ankle and buy with confidence.

The size chart worked perfectly. Measured myself looked at the chart, ordered my size, everything fit exceptionally. Great product, great service, greatest online experience. Thank you Historical Emporium

Good product. Looked good and functioned well.

These spats are made extremely well and are of beautiful material! The other very important factor is that they button and unbutton easily. And when you need to get in and out of them quickly like I do, this is a pretty important deal. I'm so glad that I found you guys!! I will definitely be ordering from you again!! Thanks a million!!

Ascents the traditional outfit.

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.

They look great. ...

High quality materials and solid construction. Looks good with my period tuxedo ensemble. Only wish there were more color options like possibly black-on-red Paisley. Will definitely stop here for my future needs.

Great spats! Fit perfectly but what surprised me the most was the quality of materials used. Very impressed and will be buying more clothing from this site!

So, I bought these to complete my outfit but was very surprised at the quality of them. They are not one layer of fabric, they are lined with a very nice black fabric. Both layers are good heavy cloth that should last a good while. Sizing was spot on and they just look great. I'm going to enjoy these.

The products here are always 10 out of 10

Well made, good looking spats. I use them for LARP and put them over a pair of Easy Spirit leather tennis shoes so that I can walk around on site with slightly less modern looking shoes that keep me from hurting my poor foot bones. The elastic has held up well so far (two three-day events so far) and I have gotten lots of compliments on them.

Delivered 7 days ahead of the deadline. The spats themselves are of amazing quality and seem more than durable enough for long-term wear.

awesome, the real deal. embroidered with beautiful design

Ascents the traditional outfit.

I'd personally describe these as burgandy rather than crimson, but regardless, I am very happy with them.

I picked this set up to go with a specific anachronistic ensemble. They were such a nice visual touch, tying together other red elements higher up. I get complements on "those shoe cover thingies" (as nobody seems to know what to call them). I think I'm going to get more of these in different colors and add them to my more contemporary outfits. These seem to be nicely made, rugged looking. Thumbs up!

Nice & easy purchase, very speedy delivery to England. Excellent quailty & fit, would recommend this website.

After much debate on what to wear for Comic Con this year (I vacillated between investing in a high-end Star Wars costume, the Bandersnatch from Alice in Wonderland, etc), I at last decided to go as a Victorian Doctor and purchased an ENTIRE outfit along with many accessories, all at the VERY last minute, from Historical Emporium. Everything I ordered was in stock (Woot!) and I upgraded the shipping to Next Day Air based on my indecisiveness and my waiting to order 3 days before Comic Con. I placed my order on Sunday night. My order arrived Tuesday! EVERYTHING I ordered was perfectly amazing and of high quality! I was (am!) blown away! AND, to top it all off, Historical Emporium refunded my Next Day Air Shipping ($63!) because I live in Southern California, which is within their 1 day ground shipping zone already. What? Who does that? Holy moly - what a great company, what outstanding service and what amazing products! I'd write more but Comic Con starts in 24 hours and I've got to get ready!

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!

First pair of spats I have ever owned. I would love to see these come back into style! So classy and only got them for Halloween! Thank you!

My husband loves them. Wears whenever we have a special occasion.

Good price..excellent quality...fast delivery... Thank you!!

These spats really take your sartorial splendor up a level.

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!!

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!
