Spats

[M. A. C. Newsome]

In this day and age, spats just are not seen worn outside of a uniform. So unless you are wearing your pipe band uniform, In my opinion they'd look a bit out of place. If it were me, personally, I'd opt for the green hose, sans spats.

I'd wear the green hose. Spats are only really appropriate with military-style uniform. And I admit that I even hate it when bands wear anything less than No. 1 dress with spats.

In the interests of full disclosure, I'll mention that I loathe spats.
