It's difficult to strike the balance between extravagant and appropriate; something you could wear to a party or a formal occasion, and at first I was suspicious about the brown with black velvety accents as being too much one or the other, but I took a chance, and am very pleased with the results. This coat is like no other I've seen, and reminds me of the sort of things seen in bicentennial portraiture. It still has the traditional true-frock cut (e.g. the lower panel is a separate piece of fabric), yet remains both striking and and distinctive. A light all-wool shell makes it functional too. Despite being wool, this is not intended as an especially warm coat, so it could be worn most any time of year.

With a traditional cut lacking exterior pockets and having a separate piece of fabric for the lower part of the coat, this sleek coat catches the eye with a distinctive and classic flair. At the same time the heavy cotton, vaguely reminiscent of the early days of denim in the 1800s, is hardy and comfortable. I've received many compliments wearing it with or without the full period complement. I'll caution that it is a bit stiff at first--I had to wear it a few days before it felt more natural, as it the case with heavy cotton fabric. Most of my traditional coats are black. This is such a fun contrast.

I really like this one - nice and light.

This is my 4th pair of historical emporium trousers and my favourite. They are lighter in weight than the canvas trousers but still quite sturdy. I wish they would offer wabash/stifel stripes.

This hat came close to being 5 stars but it lacks structure in the headband. It is nice and light and has a nice wide crown - very hard to find. Perfectly good for the price.

What I was looking for. Seems like it will definitely warm enough, with plenty of room for a sweater underneath if I think I will need one where I'm going. Long enough to keep the Kansas wind off my legs.

First, I buy these vests for work - as the title suggests. I wear vests often for the warmth without the sleeve constriction of a full Carhartt jacket. We live on a horse farm and could well have a good number of outdoor chores and repairs any given week that would require freedom of movement. This is a good made vest. I was disappointed when I opened the package and noticed immediately that it was not a Wah-Maker brand. This vest was replacing a ten year old Wah-Maker that has finally given up it's seams and button holes. Thankfully, it seems cut from the same pattern with stout canvas as the Wah-Maker - so it fits like my old vest. A very good thing. The buttons though are not metal like the Wah-Maker - time will tell if these plastic buttons will hold up. Good pocket depth.

Was so Happy when my apron came !!! It is just what I wanted and fits great. Thank you for providing such a good product, good strong material. We are holding a 1800's program and I'm serving food to my family and it helps my costume look just right. I also bought a Bonnet from your company and long skirt to wear as I speak about our ancestors. Thanks again, Patti

As advertised. I wore them with my banded collar shirt, vest, and black wool gambler hat to my favorite bar gathering place. I received many compliments. The garters were the perfect wardrobe complement.

I bought this for my husband and it fit perfectly. Very well made, we will certainly continue to shop with you in the future.

I followed the directions on doing the measurements for sizing and the dress fit well. It was crazy long, but alas I am only 5'1" so there's that. This fit my needs perfectly and shipping was super fast.

It was just what my husband wanted.
