A fabric covering for the instep and ankles. A popular men's fashion in the late 19th and early 20th century, and still worn in parade settings. Were spats functional or were they strictly a fashion statement? Spats, top hat, and a cane. My 89-year-old friend Jack assures me that wearing spats would have been a sign of a dandy in 1920s and 1930s San Antonio, Texas, where he grew up.
