Description

A pair of beige felt spats. Both spats are wide at the top, taper slightly inwards, and then flare out again towards the bottom, with the front flaring out more than the back. Down the center of the spats are eight buttonholes on one side, and eight tan buttons on the other side. At the bottom of the spats is a fabric strap, that connects the opening via a silver buckle.
