I own a number of frock coats and morning coats; this one rapidly became my favourite. The cut is superb, and adds a certain air of style and an olde worlde charm that's very flattering to the wearer. It's an elegant looking coat in anyone's book, uncluttered and spare in its design (and yet still more than a little exotic in our rather mundane modern world of unflattering men's suits that all look the same), presenting a very trim silhouette, and let's be honest - who doesn't love a coat with tails? I was also lucky that the fit was perfect out of the box; and can I recommend trying it out with your best and brightest waistcoats? Whether worn open or with the button fastened, the contrast of the coat with a little something in silk or velvet in a cheery hue helps to show a little play alongside the cutaway coat's more sober work or formal lines. Any day I get to wear this coat is a very good day indeed.

I bought two pair of canvas braces a few years back when I started shopping at the Emporium, and never looked back (fact: belts do not work as well as braces in keeping your trousers up). Buying a couple of new pairs of trousers, I decided to buy a couple of new pairs of braces as well, and as much as I was an instant convert to braces, I'm an equally instant convert to braces with an elastic tail, for reasons of functionality and comfort. Definitely recommended.

I used to own a pair of elasticised metal sleeve garters, but lost them at some point while moving house, and so bought 2 pair of these silk sleeve garters. In comparison, they don't have as strong a grip and require frequent readjustment. If I wear a coat (and I do, all year round), the garters end up at my wrists when I take it off, which is not ideal. They have an attractive look, but require greater functionality.

I needed some new work shirts and a couple of these bad boys did the trick very well indeed! The fabric is quite pleasantly textured and a little heavier than expected, but very comfortable to wear. I'd probably recommend sleeve garters be worn in conjunction with this shirt, but that's probably just a personal thing. The lack of collar gives the shirt a pleasantly casual air, even when worn to work with a suit. Matter of fact, it's just the ticket if you're looking for something to break up your work wardrobe with. Now to try a few in different colours...

Wearing a purple velvet jacket is probably a good way to start. Whether in my workaday life or as a gentleman-at-play, every time I wear this jacket people notice it, double-take and ask, "Where did you get that jacket? It's superb." Which it is. And neither statement is an exaggeration. People notice the purple! The cut is excellent - an accident of sizing, I know, but the 46R fits me as though tailored; shoulders, chest and sleeves - the construction is also quite durable, and the velvet is lush and rich in texture and colour; I wear a lot of velvet in waistcoats, coats and jackets, and the velvet of this coat is as easy to the touch as it is on the eye. A real stand-out, and comes highly recommended. You won't be disappointed.

The three adjectives I've used in the review title pretty much say it all. The midnight blue velvet is rich and lush, a thick texture as well as being quite easy on the eye; the colour is superb. The sizing was also spot on - it fit like a glove on taking it out of the box; a moment of marvellous serendipity! Highly recommended in terms of look and construction (it's quite durable as well as attractive and a fortuitous fit), it breaks up a predominantly black-suited work wardrobe with a bit of dash and savoir-faire!

...just wear this waistcoat and see what happens! The photo doesn't adequately show you exactly how vivid this waistcoat is - and boy, is it vivid! The purple leaps out at the eye and provides an excellent contrast against a black suit (I wear it with a Victorian cutaway frock coat and Livingston brushed cotton trousers) and a white shirt. Like all of the other Bonaventure waistcoats, the velvet has a lush texture, the colour is of an impressively deep and rich lustre, and contrasted well with the offset black trim (in both colour and texture) and the bright antiqued buttons. It is a very handsome addition to any gentleman's wardrobe, and comes very highly recommended. The only way you won't make an immediate impression on entering a room while wearing this waistcoat is if everyone in the room is asleep, or if all the lights are off. Mind you, in the latter instance, the purple is so vivid I'd be surprised if it didn't glow in the dark...

Spinal Tap references aside - this waistcoat is seriously black. Not so much just 'black' as BLACK. It's so black it even provides contrast against other black clothes. It's so black that light bends around it. This is a good thing. Like all of the other Bonaventure waistcoats, the texture of the velvet is is lush, the cut is sharp, the colour is rich and deep, and the internal contrast provided by the bright antiqued buttons and the trim (through texture and sheen) is a strong design feature in and of itself. A highly recommended purchase, and one I wear regularly to work, and casually. It also works as a formal waistcoat, naturally, and is durable as well as attractive. It also has the dual benefit of going with absolutely everything in my wardrobe and immediately raising the tone of anything I wear it with. It is pure class in waistcoat form. You will not be disappointed with this item, believe me.

Like all of the Bonaventure waistcoats, the texture of the velvet is lush, the cut is very fine, and the contrast provided by the black trim (in colour and texture) and the bright antiqued buttons is excellent; the colour is also deep and rich, but in this instance, very dark, depending on the lighting you're standing under. Occasionally this waistcoat looks black under artificial lights - sunlight does bring its rich green lustre to the fore. Regardless, it's a handsome addition to anyone's wardrobe.

The pictures really don't do the waistcoat justice. The cut is superb, the texture is quite lush and the colour is rich and vibrant, and offset perfectly by the black trim. I wear this to work on a regular basis and it always gets compliments - works well with a black coat and trousers (I wear it with the Livingston brushed cotton trousers and the Victorian cutaway frock coat) and a white shirt for excellent contrast. One of my favourite items in my wardrobe - you'll probably find it becomes one of the favourites in yours, too.

A nice change from the more traditional black and black pinstripe suits I'd usually wear, the Humboldt stripe trousers, when worn with the matching Humboldt waistcoat, are guaranteed to make you stand out. They work well as casual trousers or something more formal, or for workwear (try matching the Humboldt trousers and waistcoat with the Livingston black brushed cotton town coat, black boots, a white shirt and a black tie. Trust me - it works). The trousers are generously cut (a little loose in the middle, truth be told; the adjuster in the back takes up some of that slack), and the fabric has a nice texture to it that does lend itself to play as much as work. The buttons match the colour of the stripe perfectly, by the way. If you're thinking of buying them, I'd recommend it; you won't be disappointed.

I've never owned a suit that wasn't black, or a black pinstripe; the Humboldt stripe vest (and matching trousers) makes for an excellent change, and one that stands out and gets you noticed. The fit is generous, the colours compliment each other very well (and the buttons match the stripe perfectly), and the texture of the fabric makes the waistcoat suitable for casual wear, as well as part of something more formal, or as I do, for work, on a regular basis (I match the Humboldt vest and trousers with the Livingston black brushed cotton town coat, black boots and a white shirt and black tie combo as in the pictures above - trust me. It works). If you're thinking of buying it, believe me, it'll make a very fine addition to your wardrobe.

An attractive and durable coat with a generous cut, my only issue with the Livingston Town Coat is that the two external side pockets are slightly awkward in terms of size (the coat is a large fit, but getting my hands in and out of the pockets while I'm wearing it is a little more difficult than it should be, should I try to retrieve my phone or wallet in a hurry, as the pockets are relatively small) and positioning. And given the coat is unlined, there are no internal pockets. Hence the four instead of five star rating. That said, the coat matches VERY well with the Livingston black brushed cotton waistcoat and trousers, to present you with a three piece suit of a unique appearance and texture; I wear mine to work regularly and am complimented on its look.

Although I love the quality and look of this skirt, it wiil have to be altered due to the long length. It is easily 6 inches longer than stated length.

Love the quality. Length was as stated snd size is perfect.

While the color of the blouse was right on, the fabric was not one I would have ordered. I like cotton and it was a mix so I thought it would be OK for wash and wear. It is, indeed, a "linen" and while it is classy, it requires alot of manual maintenance. It just looked like the same fabric my previous order was; a smooth cotton blend fabric.

Very nice hat but Capt. Woodrow Call would've preferred it a bit thicker material. Will look great when I add my sorrel and black braided horse hair stampede string cuz first thing I did was throw away that "lil chin strap" as they call it and "season" it for 2 weeks hanging in barn. Nuff said! Woodrow this ones for you :))

Remember the boys in Northfield bank heist? That's the look I wanted with this swashbuckling duster. Duster was quality material and looks great after I "seasoned" it by hanging in dusty barn for 2 weeks. This duster is cut very generous so it can go over frock coat and still stay true to your size. I washed it first thing in warm water and medium dryer with "zero" shrinkage! The ladies in the Walmart pharmacy can't get enough of me now!! 5 Woohoo's for that kind of attention. ;)) Frank, Jesse and Cole would all be proud of this one!!

Remember the buffalo hunter Big Swede in Lonesome Dove? That's the look I wanted with this swashbuckling tall bowler and my duster. Hat was quality material and looks great after I "seasoned" it by hanging in dusty barn for 2 weeks. Tossed out the standard feather and added my own longer feathers for one of a kind accent. The ladies in the Walmart pharmacy can't get enough of me now!! 5 Woohoo's for that kind of attention. ;))

This ascot is great for weddings...formal events...or any occasion. Great cream color matches almost anything. Get this one and you can thank me later...A MUST HAVE!!!

MASCULINE..SIMPLY SOUTHERN..AND TOP QUALITY

When I received this ascot it was even more than expected. Looks great with the matching pocket square. lots of good compliments on this one..and the ladies love it too

Very happy with the quality of this shirt. The material is comfortable and it really looks "the part." I especially loved the frilly lace at the bottom of the sleeves. There's an elastic material in there that allows you to easily move the sleeves around to your liking.

Fits well, looks good, I added a few stitches to each button, they seems a little loose. All in all I am very satisfied.

The hat is much more puffy and a large roundness to the shape, different than what the photo shows. I gave two stars because the photo does not clearly show the overall shape of the hat. I wish there would of been dimensions, then I would of known I would not like this hat, different than size dimensions, no problem with size dimensions. I know I can return though I will have over $15.00 in shipping fees with delivery to me and return to you.

Fabulous vest. It does not disappoint in appearance or workmanship. The only downside is that it is 2 inches short on my 6 foot tall son, so is needing alterations. If you are thin and long-waisted and/or over 5'10", you may find this vest short. In a perfect world, tall lengths would be available in the smaller vest sizes as well!

This shirt is twice as nice as I expected. Wore it while traveling for comfort, but received so many compliments I decided to wear it in more formal meetings. It was well received. Comfortable, well built, a great look. I give this shirt an A+!

I was very pleased with the quick delivery and the quality of the belt was better than I would have expected considering the modest price. I will definitely use your business should I need to purchase your type of products in the future.

We bought a medium for my fiancées groom outfit. These shirts are very Victorian, very long, almost like a nightie! Works great with the sable trousers, the front of the shirt is great with the detail and little silver button at the collar. We are going to be taking it in around the chest just because it is quite baggy when tucked in to the pants. It works great with the pants, I don't think I would have been able to pull this off with a plain modern business shirt. Keep up the good work!

We bought three pairs of these trousers. We bought one for a size 32 man, which are great quality but did need to be taken up and taken in just a smidge. The others are perfectly fine, except we got them all taken up cause they are looong pants! The style of these pants in their nature are wider than the modern day pants, so it depends on what you want. They are fantastic quality, I recommended them to people who want that Victorian style pants with no belt loops! Ya hoo!

Great craftmanship! Looks fantastic! Looks like it costs much more than what I actually paid for it. :) great accessory for the puff ties to make them shine! :)

Love it for certain occasions

Fantastic vest perfect fit perfect color. Thanks

Nice cut and fit...a little heavier material than I expected or wanted.

Very happy with this helmet; it fits well and is comfortable. It will make an interestingly authentic statement as part of my steampunk explorer costume.

This mustache should be taken off the market. The paste-on directions say that chemicals in the paste-on strips contain carcigens that are known to cause cancer. What Director is going to ask he actor to use something harmful to his health? Not me. I am returning the poduct and asking for re-imbursement.

I do have an issue, however let me begin by saying I have always been pleased with the quality of products that I have ordered from your company. I recently ordered a top hat which to my dismay did not fit. I returned it and all went well except that I ended up paying shipping for receiving and returning the product. I feel it would have been good customer service for the company to have reimbursed me for the return or original shipping.

Great weight for the Steampunk Cruise 2015! Love them.

These are legitimate, tough, real leather braces. They are stiff brand new but a little use and even some leather treatment form them up nicely. They are unique and very stylish in addition to being "bullet-proof." I deducted a star because they very nearly didn't fit. I'm 6'3 and have them near the bottom most loops which created a hoop at the point of attachment to the button gussets which is annoying and unsightly but they are slowly stretching around to be flatter against the abdomen. If you are over 6'3 or have a long torso you might consider a different set.

Sizing: RAN SMALL. I wear between a 36 and 38 depending on the pant (most 38's brand new are comfortable bordering loose). I ordered these in a 38 to be safe and I can barely squeeze the button together around bare skin. With a shirt tucked in or sitting down these pants are toast. I would need at least a 40 (that would be the only 40" pant I've ever worn). My other complaint was the width through the leg to the opening. In the pictures it seemed it was tapered to fit well into a boot or snugly over the top, but these are WIDE, like a relaxed or husky fit; they swamp any boots I would use. Measurement details for the pant would have been helpful. Those things being said, the quality is good for the price. I would just order up on the waist and consider finding a tailor to taper the legs in if you aren't into the baggy look.

Brighter and more purple than in the photo. Well made. Shipped promptly. Thank you.

Correct Leight, color, style. Fits like a glove. Material soft and not to heavy to wear, comfortable to wear in cold, cool weather. Will see how the material holds out the warm to hot temperatures.

Fits fantastic. Material just impressive not to out there.

Fits perfectly. Material fantastic.

Fits fantastic. Color is fantastic.

The pattern and design are terrific but the material is so light weight it hangs like a cheap T-shirt. A heavier material or lining might help.

Great accessory for pants and jacket that I ordered.

Works great with jacket for a safari costume. Made nice..

Great safari costume

Even more beautiful in real life. Well-stitched, beautiful fabric on both sides, and durable snaps n straps. The perfect accouterments to my Haunted Mansion Mandalorian costume. Will definitely shop with you again.
