{"product_id":"gangster-spats","title":"Gangster Spats","description":"\u003cp\u003eGangster spats in slate gray give a 1920s mobster outfit polish without the loud contrast of white. The faux suede-look has a soft blue-gray cast that matches charcoal and gray pinstripe suits, and the pair closes with four dark metal snaps on the outer side plus a buckled strap under the shoe. If you want the white-over-black classic, look for our white spats shoes; for every finish, browse our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/spats\"\u003espats\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBuilding a Gangster Look Around Gray Spats\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eStart with a gray or charcoal pinstripe suit, a white or pale blue shirt and a dark tie. Black oxfords under the spats keep the outline sharp. Top it with a gray fedora with a black band, and fold a single-color pocket square. The gray at the ankle repeats the suit's tone, so the outfit reads tailored rather than costume-shop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eColors\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSlate Gray\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSizes\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eL, M\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolyester\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGray Gangster Spats at Parties and on Stage\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSlate gray works at a Gatsby party, a murder mystery dinner, a speakeasy-themed wedding or a school production of a 1920s musical, where stage lights can wash out bright white. Groomsmen in gray suits like it for the same reason.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGangster Spats FAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDid gangsters really wear spats?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpats were part of smart city menswear in the 1920s, worn by businessmen and dandies alike, and later crime films fixed them in the gangster image. Ours are inspired by that style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the gray blue or neutral?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a slate gray with a slight blue cast. It sits best with cool grays, navy and black, less well with warm browns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAre shoes part of the order?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo, only the pair of spats, in M or L.
