[edit] spats or gaiters?

are these? Paris By Night 18:56, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

 They are spats.
What's the difference then? I know I called them 'gaiters' all along.

[edit] Chinese advice in popular culture section

The reference to "avoid spats" is clearly meant to avoid arguments. (as in lovers spats) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.74.65.11 (talk) 22:05, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

"The Disney comic and cartoon character Scrooge McDuck, a stereotypical capitalist, wore a top hat and spats—but no shoes."

"Scrooge McDuck, the Disney character wears spats - however only over his webbed feet."

These statements are redundant. ~ Rny2 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.214.199.161 (talk) 01:27, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Steampunk

Mostly just another note for the popular culture section. Steampunk as a lifestyle/fashion is bringing them back to some extent. In the third edition of the Steampunk magazine there is actually a printable pattern to make your own. - NemFX (talk) 04:22, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Spatterdash

Text on Spats re spatterdash contradicts 83rd Regiment of Foot (Royal Glasgow Volunteers). One says the spatterdash was tall, over the knee. The other says it was short, over the ankle. Which was it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Una Smith (talkcontribs) 21:43, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
