We have a living history company so we buy a lot of reenactment clothing. We like these pants for gold rush field trips and they are reasonably priced. My only complaint is the new patch/logo on the back that says "frontier classics". I am going to try to take it off but not sure I can without damaging the pants.
Received them very quickly and they are a quality product. I do recommend buying at least a waist size larger than you would normally wear, i.e. if you wear a 34 order a 36

These are good pants. They are well-made. For some reason, not the company's fault, I had assumed they were American-made; they are not. They are made in a country where labor is cheap. If you choose to buy them, note that the legs are very slender cut. These were a gift to someone who asked me to return them because he will not wear pants with no belt loops - he's a belt and suspenders kind of guy. Other than these quibbles, they're nice looking well made pants.

The cloth and stitchwork are fine quality, no complaints there - but we went with the recommended "one size up from modern" pants guideline, and the waist was baggy and ill-fitting unless the back-adjuster was winched all the way in. Nothing to be done about the baggy arse, there's no time for a return/exchange before the event they were purchased for.
I would recommend an addendum to the instructions about going one size up from your conventional modern pants measurements; measure yourself higher up on the proper waist, where the vintage trousers will sit, and unless you're a different diameter there just use your standard measurements.
(Can't comment as to durability/comfort yet; order hasn't been worn past the basic try-on, as they're all going to the tailor's to get hemmed, will update if they wear remarkably well/poorly.)

These Pants are extremely well made from good quality materials! They pair very well with the Leather Braces to make an accurate historical ensemble. I wear them during our annual Antique Steam Engine show event and continually get many compliments and inquires on where they can be purchased. Very good product for the money!

My order arrived earlier than expected. Opened the package and found my trousers looked better and fit better than I hoped for. Stout pants that will soon be my favorites. I will be ordering another pair, maybe in black, very soon. Those folks have good products and are the nicest people to do business with.

why did we ever stop wearing suspender pants. More comfortable than any other pants I own and probably as durable as my heavy cotton aroborists pants that wearat work.

These are the second pair of trousers that I have purchased from Historical Emporium. I do not use them for period reenactments, but rather, for everyday wear. These are comfortable, breathable, and hard wearing. I am a shop teacher, and wear them at work. They hide oil and grease stains, and have yet to show any wear or damage. I shall most certainly be purchasing more in the future, as these are soooo much better suited to my build, and to the job that I am doing.
You WILL need suspenders.
These do NOT fit the same as modern pants. They are MUCH more comfortable around my waist, and in the crotch than the modern pants that I am wearing today.
And the 4 pocket vest... extra pockets, and cover the suspenders well!

great pants, look and fit great. great color also. very happy with all I have bought from H E and I have bought a few things. keep up the good work.( just so you know, I where the pants and shirt for more than fun, I use them a lot.) some people look at me when I have them on and look. I love it when they ask what show or what time of life do I think I am living. I just say guess what its all about..
