This coat is perfect for the fall/winter. Its has weight to it and very well made. I needed it for a cemetery tour I was involved with.

This was described well both in the description and in the comments. To be clear to future people purchasing, this is a very thick garment...almost as thick as a jean jacket, but stiffer. I purchased this for everyday dress up and I love it. but it will take a minute to break in and if you are in a warm climate, this is not the best choice. I look forward to purchasing other colors as well. Thank you!

True to the description and images. Also true to size with room for a think garment underneath if desired.
Not many options out there for this style of frock. This looks better than just a costume piece
The fabric is sturdy--essentially denim. Brushed, so with the soft hand of old denim, but with the stiffness of new denim. The fit is correct to slim--for a more casual fit, maybe order one size up. I'm not wholly happy with the seems on the shoulders--they don't lay quite right, but perhaps as the garment breaks in, the folds will relax into a more flattering lay. Still, overall, a very nice coat.

Wonderful coat, comfortable and well-made
As I mentioned in my review of the Livingston Black Brushed Cotton Vest (which I love), I am a professional carriage driver and I wanted some Victorian era clothing to help me look the part more. While this coat, like it's matching vest, does tend to attract horse hair rather well (which is remedied with the simple application of a lint-roller) I am absolutely in love with it. The fabric is high-quality, as is the stitching that holds it all together. I love the simple yet elegant design of the coat, as well as the handy inside chest pocket and the (very cleverly hidden) two inside tail pockets. These tail pockets were so cleverly hidden that my girlfriend and I couldn't seem to find them, though the wonderful customer service representative at Historical Emporium gladly pointed me right to their location inside the tails of the coat in the lining. This coat is also rather warm on a chilly night, but not so warm that I cannot wear it on the warmer days. I have a 43-inch chest, and I ordered this coat in a size 46. It fits me quite comfortably over my vest(s) and other attire. I would gladly recommend both the Historical Emporium and this frock coat to others!

This coat, (as I named the review) is very simple.
The material has a very thick industrial feel. It's possible that some of the frock coats of that period were. There are no pockets at all on this coat. So with these two facts I could not use this one.
This coat is more outfitted for western wear the period maybe the mid 1800's if you are using the coat for costume it would be fine.

It feels and looks great. High quality build and material. My only issue is it feels a tad stiff in the torso area.

I bought this for a formal civil war dance; the fabric is soft and the fit is good. Looking forward to the white tie affair.
