If you look closely, you can see they are made of leather, have antler buttons, and that the seams match up, and the lowest lace actually attaches to the black heel.

As far as modern spat/gaiters... i wear these almost daily:


My Girlfriend made them for me and I simply love the look of them. I dont like kilt hose, and only wear them for special occasions, so these made a good alternative, imo. The only thing I would change is the lace up nature, as it takes a good while to get them done up.
