These looked great and fit well but do need to be shortened and the material was a little heavier than I expected but manageable.

I ordered these from Australia, so there was no returns as far as I'm concerned. I'm glad I took the risk - I'm really happy with the fit, style, and quality. I use them in my professional context (counsellor) where in winter I like to wear a waistcoat under my tweed blazer, and high pants are much better for that. These fit the bill perfectly, and the material complements the other quality fabrics I wear. I normally wear 36 and so I ordered 38, and the fit was spot on.

Exactly what I needed! I perform old time music and needed traditional attire. I was hesitant to buy clothes online but this was spot on. Be sure to measure yourself properly and you will have no problems!!
excellent quality, look and feel. only down side was the length. as a size 32, was advised to order the size 34, which fits perfectly around the waist though requires some serious length trimming. either way, very happy with the product

Excellent pants and quality. You definitely need to order a size or two above your normal pants size as suggested.

I received my first order today, the promptness of which surprised me, moreover, I was delighted at the quality of the merchandise, it being beautifully made and of a far heavier cloth than what I'd expected. I look forward to buying from you again.

As other reviewers have noted, these pants are sized small. Someone recommended going up two sizes and I thought "that's ridiculous". Well, I'm now waiting for my exchange that is two sizes larger than what I wear normally. I would not have even fit in my normal size and one size up may represent period appropriate "fashionably tight" - I really don't know. Despite this the pants are excellent and well made.

These pants are made for comfort. The fabric is extremely soft, though sturdy. They are "high wasted", though all that means is that they come up to your actual waist. As one of my co-workers put it, "It's like a hug all day". They don't restrict movement so if you're looking to buy for LARPs you can't ask for much more. I've bought them originally for a LARP event but now wear them for work and will be using them for a wedding as well. Top quality product, and amazing customer service!
For size fallow the suggested messurments, they are pretty spot on. I'm only going to have to get them hemmed about half an inch.
I also bought the "Livingston Black Brushed Cotton Trousers" and "Classic Canvas Trousers - Brown" same experiance on all of them.

I wasn't sure what to expect. Past experience with costume shops had me ready for average products, at best. So it was a big surprise to receive high quality, heavy weight trousers. The rest of the outfit was just as nice, in quality, and style. The clothing is easy to mix and match, so if you can't afford one of the more elaborate outfits, you can start with a shirt, and trousers, then add additional items later. It's not like the clothing is going to go out of style. My only caution is to pay attention to the sizing recommendations. I'm a slim, distance runner, and still had to get used to the higher waste on these trousers.

My pants were far too tight, though I'd given the right measurements. I'd have rated 5 if it weren't for the fact i had ordered wrong. They are well made and historically on point!

I bought the sable sack coat earlier, which I loved, so ordering these matching trousers was a must, and I could not be happier with the style, quality and fit of these pants. When I put them on for the first time and looked in the mirror, I laughed out loud, because it was as if I had taken a ride in a time machine... the high waist & required suspenders make them completely unlike modern clothes, but they really are intensely flattering in their own way, and they seem actually more comfortable than modern pants cinched with a tight belt. I received compliments every time I wear them. The fit, as I said. was perfect, as I followed the guidelines carefully. I have since bought other trousers in a similar style on this site and don't expect to be wearing modern clothes any time soon. Completely delighted.

Sable Brushed Cotton Trousers
Beautifully made garment with buttons that look as though they will not need sewing back on anytime soon. As others have stated, I also suggest would be buyers purchase one size larger than their waist size since to the high waist band partially covers the stomach.

They are exactly what were described in the ad. They are a heavy, everyday type of trouser that should last a good long while. I would rate them five stars.

Great fit; nice feel; good looks.
But don't forget the suspenders!

Fits Like A Glove - Uh, Pants...
Good quality heavy weight trousers. I ordered based on the measurement recommended and they were a little loose. Luckily they are 100% cotton so I will be able to shrink them to fit. Highly recommend!
