When I received my order, the coat was a little too big. Big enough to drape over my shoes. I had to get it refitted at a tailor, despite ordering the smallest size available. I do not regret buying however, as the coat is of good construction and quality, drapes nicely, and fits in very well with a historical or historically-inspired wardrobe.

Fit: This garment is intended for you to be able to wear warm clothing underneath it so, it's sized bigger. If you aren't planning on layering underneath, order a size smaller.
Finish: The coat appears to have been well constructed. No errant threads. Straight seams. Thumbs up!
Materials: Totally decent. Better than expected at this price-point. It doesn't feel like a "expensive" tweed but a respectable one.
Delivery: Much faster than promised on the website. Was it necessary? No. Was it a very pleasant surprise? Definitely.
Overall, I'm very pleased with the coat and I'm looking forward to wearing it for Yuletide!

What I was looking for. Seems like it will definitely warm enough, with plenty of room for a sweater underneath if I think I will need one where I'm going. Long enough to keep the Kansas wind off my legs.

I knew the coat ran big from other reviews, and it was super big. I absolutely love it it anyway, and will order more stuff really soon. We received the delivery super fast (great service).

This cape is actually better than described, with very nice tweed fabric and well-sewn shape.
If the fabric was any thicker, the cape would probably be too heavy to wear. As mentioned in the description, they do run large.
I ordered a "M/L" size, and it is almost too big. I am usually a 46-48 inch chest for jackets and almost 6 feet tall, and I'm glad I did not order a "L/XL."
A really well built cape, that I will put to work in cold, wet weather.

If you want a coat that attracts attention, this is it. There is much material (and thus much room) in the coat underneath. so it works with just a vest, or a full frock coat. The material is a medium weight - if it was heavier the coat would weigh too much to carry around. I like the material - not a super quality but close enough to a fine wool to pass, and it seems sturdy enough for good service. Be careful on a windy day - the cape can blow around.

A wonderful costume piece
I love the coat, it goes well with one of the characters I bring to life, even just for the fun of it.

This is a top quality coat and quite a value. I am 6' 1", around 230 lbs and the Medium/Large is just right for me (just like the sizing chart indicated). This is clearly a genuine coat for outdoor wear. Fine craftsmanship and quality material. A little heavier than I anticipated, but perfect weight for fall and winter wear. I would recommend to anyone.

My great fear was that this would be made from a cheaper, "costume-weight" fabric. When the small box arrived, my heart sank. I opened it up and could not believe how much coat you could get into such a small box! This is a real, outdoor-worthy winter overcoat for almost every locale. (I wouldn't warrant it for Chicago in below-zero January, but that's a whole different standard of human tolerance and garment expectations.) This is a very handsome coat with a most subtle gray herringbone pattern to the fabric. They do run Full and LONG - which I like, but others may want to adjust their order as some here have indicated in their comments. Full-figured fellows will want to stick with the larger sizes. Thanks for a great internet shopping experience.

Just perfect for putting over a town coat for cold New England winters.

Very nice, authentice styling, runs large
This a really nice coat, it is not some cheap thrown together from overseas. It is Huge but it is designed that way to go over jackets etc. am border line L and XL. I first tried a XL and it was swimming on me. The large was a better fit if wearing alone. Historical Emporium is a very good seller, they go out of their way to make things right.
