White zzpats!
What and how should a gent do if he wanted som some swank looking WHITE spats for his black dancing shoes.. I simply must have a pair!So i went to a leathersmith that can do a replica on my everydayspats wollen spats, but.. pricey ($120) so i want to get the pattern right.
This is the closest i think there is on the web. If the front were more straight down across the toecap i would concider buying them.
So far you have enlightened me in the fabric, thin white leather (but not glove leather- too stretchy, right?). Uhm but what about the cut. I noticed on an old movie that the spats were cut around the cap, straight down and then pretty long across the side and then up in a cut a thats a bit higher at the back of the shoe.
Look. (almost bit curved too?)
Where do you recon the buttons should be placed, along the side 90 degrees or like on the picture here?
If you have tips, pictures, please share!
