Have you tried your local "Spats R Us" store?  A quick google search with the keywords "spats sales" produced way more results than I expected. Most appear to be in the $25 range. |

i assume you've tried your local 'snoopers paradise'? last time i was in there they had gaiters, jodhpurs and a few pairs of spats, so it could be worth a try if you havent already  |

Don't buy those "Fancy Dress" felt spats - they're rubbish, and look terrible.
Anywhere near you involved with Scots-style Pipe & Drum bands? The be-kilted ones wear spats.

They're actually remarkably simple to make - I'm sure you could find a simple pattern with relative ease. |

I have seen some at costume stores in different sizes and are quality made!
They are made from nice white or ivory material and have the nice buttons!
Hope this helps!

Depends what you mean by spats. If the style Doctor When linked to are helpful I can get them in black or canvas and mail them to you. I'm picking myself up a pair tomorrow hopefully so I'll grab a pic then.
