I had been looking for a good pair of this style of pants for several months to keep from having to wear either of the authentic pairs I had. These were overall very good quality. I did order them two sizes larger than I wear just in case and they are made to a slimmer size or possibly a "true" size instead of an American size. The quality, fit and comfort is very good and the craftsmanship, being part of a consignment made for a theatrical company, were quite good. The only thing I would check is the garments must be a few years old since the thread in some places is weak or dry rotted so I had to do some reinforcing in stress areas. Luckily I actually tried some fencing stretches just for this reason to prevent unfortunate malfunctions. I would buy these again as they are and if they were made of a heavier weight wool material they would be excellent!

Blouse fits, but sleaves hang well past my fingertips. I will have to have it altered. :(

This coat is one of the best things I have purchased for my reenactments, It was a perfect fit, light weight, and stylash. IT LOOKS GOOD. My wife loves the way I look in it, she say's it gives me class and style.

Looks great and super easy to tie. I just wish I had more of these availalbe in different colors and maybe fabrics as well. That would be good. Get on it H.E.

Excellent quality and style. Love how it looks on my body type, which is thin and tall. However, be mindful when ordering your size. I am a medium in all the shirts that I ordered and they fit great, but with the Morning coat I ordered a medium and it was simply to small across the shoulders and back making the sleeves a little to short as well. I exchanged it for a large and that size fit perfectly. Very happy with the outcome and the exchange process was super easy.

I am mostly pleased with this product except that a better job could have been done securing the bib buttons. I had to have them all more securely fastened. And again was forced to take a 2nd choice color in Natural when I wanted the shirt in Red 2XLT.Please advise when available

I am extremely pleased with this product,however the brown vest was a forced 2nd choice. I very much want to have this same vest in the Sand color but was informed at time of purchase that Sand was not available in the 2XLT Please advise on next availability

I can't comment on the product, since I wasn't the recipient, but your customer service was very accommodating when the first shipment was returned because my recipient moved without telling me. The product was re-shipped quickly and without trouble.

You are just fine. The problem is the cut of the coat. I wear XL Jackets/coats all of the time. This coat fit through the shoulders and chest, but was cut skimpy in the middle and would not button. It was about 3 too short. Made in India?

Overall, I am very pleased with the Coachman's hat that I recently purchased. Unfortunately it is too small. I'm not skilled at measuring my own head to determine my hat size and I ordered a size Medium rather than a size Large. I am pleased that the cost of the hat was not exorbitant in price and well within my means and the time for shipping also exceeded my expectations. Your hats are considerably fine quality (according to the haberdasher who attempted to stretch it), which of course disqualifies it for return.

Good service and great quality. I ordered pants and suspenders, the pant fit good. They are a bit more straight legged than I expected but that is how pants of the era were, not baggy like today. I will be ordering a vest and other items from you again for sure. Just the fact you put out a servey is great. Thanks again

Yes absolutely. Of course very few situations in which I'd recommend but if I had another steampunk curious friend I would send them here first. No other site has the classy quality selection of vintage style clothing that I've found here, everywhere else I've looked feels more costumey, while I'm looking for something to authentically wear.
