As a big person I am always concerned about fit. This was fine, especially through the chest where I have problems - football lineman build. I wouldn't plan on wearing a suit coat underneath it, if you are a bigger person. Good quality garment especially for the price. Not advertised as water-repellent but I think it would stand up to the rain OK - at least the kind of rains we typically get in New Mexico!

The duster is well made. It is warm at night and keeps the wind out. The duster also repells water and in a light rain should do well. I'm very pleased with the purchase.

Just would like to start out saying that the service I got from Historical Emporium is outstanding !!! The Duster is perfect for my Western Steampunk gear. Fits just right except the sleeves are a little long, but can take care of that. A coworker seen the Duster and tried it on and loved it also. IT is not too heavy either.... feels just right. For the price..... you can't beat it. Just perfect.

the duster is a great weight, light but weighty enough to make an impact visually.

Awesome duster! As a circuit rider, I try not to go for anything too fancy, expensive, or luxurious. So, when I decided to purchase classic black canvas attire, I was worried I wouldn't be able to find a suitable coat. This coat is perfect! Just the right weight, and the quality, fit, and finish are fantastic! It is the perfect finishing touch to my Old West preacher wardrobe. Not too fancy, but at the same time it has a timeless look, style, and feel that make it stand out. It is very comfortable to wear and has a lot of room to move around in. I read reviews about the armpits being high and restrictive, but I have no issues with them at all, and the sleeves were the correct length as well. The fitting and measuring instructions were very accurate. Like all the products I've purchased from HE, I cannot say enough good things about them. Always very surprised and impressed with how much better the items are in person than they are online...and the online pics are pretty awesome! Thank You for another awesome product!

The sleeves have a high tight armpit that doesnt hsve a good fit when moving your arms forward (like driving). The rest of the fit, length, and look are great.

Authentic duster. Feel as if I could wear it to Tombstone and fit right in. Sturdy and well made. Not just a costume. Not fitted in the torso with plenty of room for your holster or an ample midsection Thanks!

I recieved my duster coat a few weeks ago and whenever I get the chance to wear it, I do. Everything fits nice and my only complaint is that the sleeves were a little long but nothing that can't be fixed.

Excellent quality.

I bought this for a Civil War event, playing a gambler/Pinkerton agent for a train museum show. It was warm weather and it rained and this duster was light enough to breathe and did a fair enough job keeping me warm from the rain. It is not water-repellant but because it is canvas it did a fair job deflecting the drops. The back vent unbuttons so that when I walk, the tails flow behind me in a gunfighter sort of way. It makes good drama when I fling the edge of the coat back to reveal the Remington hogleg strapped to my hip, too. I can almost hear the "Good, Bad, and Ugly" whistle when I do that. The canvas is durable and should hold up for a good long while. I had to have the sleeves shortened on mine, but I do that with most of my coats anyway. I'm looking forward to getting a lot of service out of this coat!

Is Everything I wanted in a Duster... very happy with my purchase

Beautiful coat at a great price.

I am a history teacher and I love to play the part. Which means I like to look the part as well by dressing "historically". My recent purchase of a black duster helps me to complete my look. It is classic and more importantly it is really warm. I find I can wear it in any kind of weather so it is very functional, but also it is a great look for a history teacher as well. I recommend this coat for history teachers everywhere.

Coat is great quality fits great will buy again

It is a great coat and very useful for cold/windy weather and looks great open or closed. However it doesn't have a lining on the inside. It is big enough to fit a nice jacket underneath but fits good without one. I am really satisfied with the coat for the price.
