With all the hype surrounding the concord XI’s Re-Re-Retro dying down, now is the perfect time to take a look at the original “concord 11’s”, their called Spats. Spats (used today as a traditional accessory for marching bands) was a popular accessory in the earlier part of the 20th Century often symbolizing wealth or eccentricity and commonly worn by gangsters. They were usually worn over patent leather shoes and usually with very expensive suits. Check out the theatrical trailer below for Some Like It Hot and check out George Raft rocking some some Spats (his character was named “Spats” Colombo). For more info on Spats visit Spatzboots.com
