Tall, dark and mysterious, our Charcoal Callahan Frock Coat creates an enigmatic image for the 19th century gentleman. A shadowy yet still stylish substitute for black, our men’s jacket will keep folks whispering about your reputation.

Before the shorter, boxy jacket of the “sack” suit (still being worn today), the frock coat was the standard silhouette for men. Longer and seamed at the waist, our vintage-look coat features charcoal gray fabric with a hint of blue hue, matching fabric covered buttons, a notched lapel and intricate detailing on the back. Necessities can be kept at hand in the interior breast pocket. However, should you encounter an unsavory character in some back alley or less-traveled road, your valuables will stay hidden in two cleverly tucked-away tail pockets. Part of a matched Callahan set. See our entire Callahan collection.

Fabric is 72% cotton, 20% polyester, and 8% rayon with a full acetate lining. Imported. Dry Clean Only. Available in sizes 36 - 54 and 38L-54L for those that need extra length. Also available in a double breasted style.

Note: although this fabric appears to be a solid color at a distance, you will see slight color variations and speckling in the threads when viewed up close. Please see the fabric closeup image for an example.

Sizing Notes
Our coats are made with typical American sizing, meaning your chest measurement (in inches) is the size you should choose.
To measure your chest: Raise your arms slightly and measure just under your arms. Be sure to cross over the shoulder blades and the fullest part of the chest. If your belly measures larger than your chest, use your belly measurement for coat size.
Longs: If indicated in the selection list (e.g. 46L,) long sizes may also be available. Longs are approximately 2" longer in the back and sleeves.

Frock coat is perfect!
I spent many hours trying to find a frock coat close to where I live in Portland, Oregon, and came up empty. Then I went online and discovered The Historical Emporium and the Callahan Frock Coat. I measured my actor and when the coat arrived shortly after I ordered it, I tried it on him and it fit perfectly. He is portraying Harvey Scott, the long-time editor of The Oregonian newspaper, so he had to look dignified. Plus, we are filming the short play he is in, so I could not get by with some kind of cobbled together fake frock coat. The Historical Emporium is an excellent resource with good customer service and I am delighted to have found it in my moment of need. Thanks so much! Ellen Spitaleri, costumer New Century Players

Lovely well made Frock Coat
This lovely Frock coat was purchased as a gift for my son. The quality is outstanding. It fit my 6'4" sons frame perfectly. He absolutely loved it. Look forward to doing business with Historical Emporium again.

Bad Cut
I wanted to love this coat, but the cut was bad. Too much extra material in the upper chest. You would have to be a weight lifter with a big chest and slim waist for this to fit properly. I returned this and got a cutaway coat instead which does fit better. But paying shipping three ways made it a much more expensive purchase. I would order a different frock coat, but won't take the chance. I'll look local where I can try things on ahead of time.

SEEN ON OLD PHOTOS
The coat was lightweight and well constructed. It fit nicely, and I intend to use it as my "preacher's coat" for many occasions.

Great frock coat
This is a great frock coat. I like the way it fits and looks. The material, though cotton, is heavy. I thought it would be much more lightweight for the summer which is why I got the cotton instead of wool. It still deserves 5 stars..

Written In Stone
The Callahan “Tombstone” frock coat - charcoal, is yet another Great Masterpiece by The Emporium. Its rugged elegance and mischievous charm goes far beyond most coats that I have ever seen. It's silky smooth, dark metallic hue is awe inspiring to say the least. And It's wide, brooding top in opposition to its tapered sleek waistline projects a majestic as well imposing appearance onto any garment that you might pair with it. And be certain that this coat is just as tough as the nickname of the town that it evokes, as the well crafted, heavyweight and durable construction is guaranteed to last you for several years to come. Trust me when I say, no serious gentleman’s wardrobe should be caught dead without the Callahan “Tombstone” frock coat. What more can I say, but thank you once again Emporium!
