Our grand daughter has chosen the theme of late Victorian for her wedding. Her colors are red and Gold. The first coat, shirt and pants that I ordered were too big and I needed to return them for the next smaller size. The exchange was accomplished within 5 days. A company rep. was very helpful when I called about the problem. The replacement garments are a good fit although I will need a small alteration to the vest because my middle is larger than my chest. Quality & workmanship of clothing is excellent and I expect that they will last for many years.... and Never go out of style. Thank you! I plan to order additional items in future.

Bank robbery reenactment.

Fits well, but I am looking for an all-wool morning coat.

I needed a new coat to finish off my outfit for a special event celebrating the 50th anniversary of Dickens on the Strand this year. This cutaway morning coat fit well, has classic style, and was just what I was looking for to feel like a gentleman for the evening.

Party

I wasn't sure what to expect as I'd never ordered from historical emporium. This coat is beautiful and I will definitely be using this company for more of my costuming needs. I received the order very quickly and am very pleased with the purchase. The coat has excellent quality!

Very comfortable fit all all over.

Fairly expensive for a cotton/poly coat, but it looks pretty good. We will see how it holds up over time.

Right from the box, my new coat looked great, and exactly like what I wanted. As I tried it on, it actually fit perfectly. It's going to be hard to wait till the Christmas Candlelight Tour of Homes to wear it, but I'll try... I would recommend this coat to anyone interested in stepping back in time for Events.

Couldn't have been more satisfied

Fit perfectly

I ordered this cutaway coat in Charcoal because they did not have my size (50) in Black. When the coat arrived, I tried it on and found that the coat was too large. I sent it back and exchanged it for a 48, and this time in black since they had that in stock. It arrived today and am happy to say that the fit is wonderful.

Fine product. Size as expected

Goes well with other old west clothing.

All items ordered were of better quality than I could have imagined. The occasion has not occurred yet. No doubt the clothes will make a statement.

I just wanted to put together a distinctive semi dressy outfit to wear out with friends and family for nice events, so this coat suits my needs perfectly. It's classic, handsome, masculine, very well made and very comfortable. I am going to alter it slightly by having a black satin detailed handkerchief pocket added to the left chest area, and I'll also consider adding a matching pair of black satin trimmed pockets just below the high waist seem. I like the functionality and look of these pockets. The size 46 is what I measured for and is what I ordered, and it fits me perfectly.

Great cut. Fits me like it was tailored. A perfect selection for a fine dinner at the Historic Strater Hotel in Durango.

Just the thing for a nice dinner at the Strter Hotel in Durango. Perfect fit and quality!

Well made and comfortable. Love it!

Love this coat. Great feel and weight. Nice tailored fit. Works great for the look I needed. Delivery was super fast. Love Historical Emporium.

Very sharp and well made. Does not hold in body heat to any extent such that it can be worn in warmer climate situations. Well pleased!

Bought the Callahan frock coat to use during Museum tours of which I am a docent. Received many compliments on my outfit, all of which comes from Historical Emporium. I portrayed a Victorian undertaker for the Halloween season and was told I looked like I fell out of a history book. Couldn't have felt prouder. Heavy weight coat which should keep you fairly warm when the cooler fall weather sets in. I'm happy with the color as it is a rich black and not charcoal. Material is a bit coarse but not a problem. Fit is true to size ordered. Happy with my purchase.

Waited a long time for this, just wow.

My son was so pleased to receive this coat for Christmas. He looks quite dapper. As a tall, slim teen, this style coat really suits him.

This coat is absolutely awesome, classy and gives a dark touch to my Gothic-Victorian look. It is very comfortable, made of a quality fabric and can be worn for any occasion a gentleman needs to show up. I highly recommend it. Only downside: The sizes sometimes require adjustments depending on your size. This was my case for the length of the sleeves.

Purchased this coat for a wedding. Followed instructions for sizing and it fits perfectly. Very nice high quality garment.

I had to appear in a morning coat suit for a formal academic event with European protocol (the men wore either their academic regalia or a morning coat suit). It turns out that the coat is not easy to come by in the US, but I was fortunate to run across the Historical Emporium's website. They had the right coat in my size in stock and shipped right away. It's a nicely made coat in exactly the right style, although the materials are modern, light weight and comfortable. I'd certainly buy from them again should the occasion arise.

Very nice fitting coat as well as attractive.

Wore it to the Dickens Fair 2023

Western wear

My Morning Coat arrived in record time. It was exactly what I wanted and the fit was superb,requiring only minor sleeve alterations. The coat is good quality and well made. Great value for the money. Thanks Historical Emporium!

I love the cut. It flatters my body and is overall great quality.

Received the coat and tried it on immediately and noticed how light it was, which was a very big plus for the temperatures that we find on the middle Gulf Coast of Texas. The sleeves were about 6 inches too long, but that was good since the wife can sew (I can too, but only when I have to) and she could fit it to my arm length. Very happy with the coat so far and see no issues at this time!

We were using this jacket as a costume piece for a show. It arrived in record time which was great. We also needed an extra large size which wasn't easy to find anywhere else. The sleeves needed hemming but that 's ok better than too short. The coat was well made and can be kept for future endeavors. It looked amazing and really added to the character.

Good quality and fits well to ordered size!

An amazing coat worth every penny and took very well to minor alterations.

This is a good, basic coat - not particularly heavy, and the fabric is basic, but it works on stage

If you got your measurements done well this coat is a wonderful fit. I did some research on how the coat should drape on the person, and this rests really well on me. I am below average height for a Caucasian male in between 5'5" and 5'6". The morning coat is longer than is traditional due to my shorter stature, but I don't mind that at all. It looks like it was tailored just for you if the measurements were done right.

I am in a garage rock band, all of us 55+ years old, and we are beginning to play some larger gigs. I needed something to provide a little more stage presence, so I shopped around and ended up buying this coat. Fits perfectly, perfect look over a T-shirt with black jeans; gave me exactly the look I was after - - not over the top, but unique and a little classy. The quality of the fabric and the craftsmanship is much better than I expected - - much better than some blazers I have spent much more money for. This coat is good enough quality that I would wear to a formal party. A good purchase!

I waited two years to buy this coat and when I slipped in on for the first time I was immediately in awe over the feel of the fabric as it draped around my body. The quality of this coat has no equal. I still need to take the coat to a tailor to make the coat form fitting but this coat demands attention as is.

My 6-foot 3-inch tall husband Dan is the epitome of the Victorian gentleman in this beautifully made black cutaway coat. He has a silver collared vest, black trousers, suspenders, white shirt and royal blue puff tie from Historial Emporium to complete his ensemble for our date to the Kirkman House Museum Victorian Ball on Oct. 24. Just so pleased with the details in all the clothing and tips on how to wear some of the items.

I am trying to set a trend. As I get older I want to look my best. I wear these daily to leave an impression on my clients who never forget me. They'll say: that's the guy who wears those fine clothes. It breaks the ice with new customers. I really enjoy. Wearing them. Thank you.

This Livingston cutaway sack coat is a very well made coat with an all round tailor-made look & fit's me well the sizing was spot on to my size that i ordered. This is an excellent addition to my Old West wardrobe & highly recommended as a purchase.

The Livingston cutaway sack coat is a VERY NICE coat for the money . It runs true to my standard suit coat sizing and fit me perfectly . The only problem i had was that the top button hole was sewn too small for the button . Easy fix for me so i just handled that problem in house.

The product came in good condition, and it was very sturdy and well made. It was just a TINY bit stiff when we took it out, so trying to get it into a more natural shape to put on our actor was a little tricky indeed. Otherwise, quick service and very professional communication. Thanks Historical Emporium!

Everything arrived on time for our event with the expedited shipping and the quality of the suit jacket and vest and tie were excellent! The pants were not the correct size , so I think on the next order we would check more closely on the style and the sizing of trousers .Overall very satisfied with this company and it's products. Would use again and would recommend to others

This is an early bulletproof vest. Heavy construction fabric. I'm not sure of authenticity, but wished for an outside pocket.

Heavy, heavy coat. Good fabric. If you are from the lower half of the US you may want to save it for colder seasons. Fits well.

Coat fit perfect with fit chart. Lots of details and well constructed. Colour is exact to online photos and fabric is good quality, coat is lined. Arrived really quickly to Canada. Very pleased with the purchase.

I wear stuff like this on a daily basis, so I need it to be quality. Historical Emporium comes through every single time. The product came quickly and arrived with no damage. The fabric is very stiff, so I do recommend either steaming it, or just wearing it a lot when you first get it so it softens up. Also, it runs a little big. Maybe order a measurement smaller than you'd expect. I will definitely be buying another one of these in a different colour, eventually.

Very good coat! Material of premium quality, very well made, fits good and is comfortable to wear.

Quality coat,well made

We attended a Murder Mystery Weekend set in 1890 and I wanted a coat for the occasion. The size was perfect and I really liked the styling. It took me less than five minutes on the website to find what I needed and order it.

Excellent coat, high quality, and perfect fit. However, it was a bit heavier than I wanted and returned it for exchange. The exchange was fast, efficient, and I received it in 3 days, same as the original order. These people understand customer service and I highly recommend the Historical Emporium. I am a frequent HE patron. Love these folks.

Ordered to preform Wedding for My Grand Daughter, fit the bill to the T

Nice coat and had that period look and feel. A good fit for the actor I was building a period costume for who was leaving for a film shoot in Austria. The only problem I found was that the p coat buttonholes are too small for buttons. Very difficult to open and close. Since, the actor will be leaving the coat open the problem did not have to be remedied.

I love the coat. I had to take it to the tailor and have the sleeves take up but otherwise it’s perfect.

Nice quality garment. It looks great on my husband.

Product was great and fairly heavy but arrived with a significant crease on both shoulders due to tight packaging. I hung it for a couple of weeks but finally resorted to pressing it out. Gives a wonderful turn of the last century look.

I’ve not had a chance to wear my Livingston Sack Coat yet due to the warm temperatures but I’m glad I went for this instead of the slightly longer cutaway style,Not dismissing the aforementioned as a possible future purchase though. I think that when I can consistently wear it, It will soften up nicely and ‘Give’ a little. I will try to wear it when I don’t need to take too much of what I would term ‘Inside Pocket Clutter’ as I think any bulging would affect the shape,style and cut of the garment. Enjoying the sunny weather but roll on slightly cooler temperatures so I can ‘GET IT ON’. Fast delivery again, Always a joy shopping at Historical Emporium.

I bought this coat/jacket because I needed to fill a gap in my wardrobe. I have plenty of frock coats and fancy vests, but not a lot of practical everyday stuff. I was a bit worried about getting the size right, as it's slim fit and I'm slightly overweight. But it turns out to be perfect in size 46, all that's too big is the sleeves which need taking up, as per usual. I don't really need to button it up, but I can at least do up the first one which is all that's required. It's a coat you can dress up or down. It looks good with vintage or modern style, and to the untrained eye it just looks like an ordinary business jacket or something similar. But once you start wearing nice waistcoats and ties, people start complimenting you on how dapper you look, et cetera. You start to become more noticeable. It's best worn with bowties, I think. It really completes the look, and is less intimidating. I wear brightly coloured ones as the outfits I wear with this end up being very dark on their own. It also looks vaguely reminiscient of Winston Churchill's iconic outfits, so it might be suitable for cosplay purposes. One thing I will say, is that as with any brushed cotton coat or jacket, it's a lint magnet, and it attracts dust and detritus all over. Especially in solid black. So it's a good idea to brush it regularly, if not every day you wear it. Overall, it's a great coat and essential if you have any ambitions to wear vintage styles every day. It's a great place to start from,...

I was in general pleased with this coat ,however the stitching on the back ,is as a Frock Coat therefore slimmed down ,whereas a Sack Coat should be a DrapeBack Box Shape.The button Holes I found were too small for the buttonsI bought a size 42 though my English size is 40,so bearing on mind the slim nature of the cut a size 44 would have been better

Great fit. Sturdy somewhat stiff at first. But with a day of wear, it's worn in good. Love this coat!

This is my favourite sack coat!

I've always had a difficult time finding clothes in the style that appeals to me. Then I found Historical Emporium and ended up buying 12 items within a week. The fit and quality is outstanding on every item, and they're in a earlier style that I like much more than modern, suits or sports jackets that are heavily tailored and I find generally uncomfortable. Anywhere I go, wearing the Sack Coat and corresponding pants, vest, puff or 4 in hand tie, I get huge compliments from people who want to know where to find similar clothes. Look at the picture of the sack coat and gray Fletcher vest (which I also bought) and you're looking at pure class. Add a watch chain and you're all set. I'll be a repeat customer, for many, many more years.

Very well made a dn comfortable coat. I bought this to complete a set of Victorian clothes i was to use for a wedding. It may well become my everyday wear coat.

THIS COAT WAS EXCELLENT, FIT MY VICTORIAN THEMED WEDDING TO THE MAX, EXCELLENT QIUALITY FOR THE PRICE..

Beautiful Sack Coat. Love the styling and the many compliments received. Rich texture, deep black color and the coat size is "true to fit." Wish there were additional dark color options like a navy blue or burgundy.

I love this coat. It is cut differently than today's coats. The shoulders are wide with a little padding. It allows you to move. And unlike today's coats/jackets, the waist isn't huge. It is cut slim. The brushed cotton is heavy and just feels luxurious. I am thrilled with coat and will wear it frequently.

A quality coat with accurate sizing & authentic styling. Low shine cotton fabric is perfect for the look and comfort I wanted. A little watch pocket might have been nice, but no real complaints. I'm very pleased.

The quality of the coat was outstanding, but it was a tailored fit. I haven't been able to wear anything fitted since the last century.

Very nice coat. I'm playing Mark Twain and this a great coat for the non-white-linen-suit Sam Clemens look.

This is a nice coat, a little heavier that expected but still a nice coat.

I do love the coat. The reason I gave it 4 stars is, first, I wish the black accents across the front were a different color. They seem unnecessary in black. The second, I wish the coat was thicker. For the price I expected a heavier coat. It seems a bit thin for the price point that it is at. Other than those two points it is a great coat.

I bought my normal size of coat, a 52, and this coat fits the size in all areas but one. That being the shoulders. The shoulders hand a good 4" down my arm. I guess I needed the body of Hercules for this to have been a good fit. Unfortunately, this problem cannot even be solved by a tailor. This pattern should be re-thought. If I was not in such desperate need for this coat, I would return it. But due to the circumstances I am stuck with it.

Was certainly worth the price, plus it feels great love it

This jacket is nice to look at but the shoulders are huge. The waist fit was perfect but it would never fit anyone's shoulders. It also has some kind of white threading on both arms which is a bit cheap looking. Like the design but not thrilled with the fit or quality for the price.

The Pros: great quality coat for the price! The fabric feels and looks realistic for battle and camp use. Not too fancy but a very nice coat. Liner is realistic, too. I really liked the design and concept of this, and for the price, it can't be beat. The Cons: the fit and the buttons. It is incredibly slim-fitting, except for the shoulders which are very oversized. Basically, you'd better be in battle-shape to wear this: like a 22 year-old Marine with arms like pipes and no body fat. I tried a size above what I wear and it was too small around the waist and gargantuan in the shoulder. It wouldn't be worth it to take it to a tailor: too expensive. The buttons are difficult to work and feel insubstantial. It would be easy to replace them with something you prefer.

We were very happy with this coat, it was historically accurate to the time period and looked good when it arrived

Great fit, true to sizing. nice weight material.

This jacket has 4-buttons and is a classic - no pockets to bulge to make you look fat but slimer. Nice feel and warm. I did have the shoulders reduced a little - I m loosing weight and muscle tone, but love it.

I will use this for a Victorian Magic Show in a historic section of town.

I bought this as part of my 1880's costume. It looks and feels authentic. The only issue I have with it is its width at the shoulders. Just a little too wide, but perfect otherwise.

Finally got the right size for Husband ( my mistakes totally) We went a size up to have a layering option.

Love it fits perfect

The clothing that I ordered are for a Hickory Golf Outing. I also do reenactments / rendezvous, 1800-1850. Everything that I ordered looks good and fits good.

The pants run a little tight in the waist and thighs, so I order the next size up since they have no stretch. They are not hemmed to allow for all heights.

This coat is insane. All of the reviews are real. How is this $150? Extremely high quality. Everyone will treat you differently. Buy this coat and become a god amongst men.

Great fit top quality and timely shipment. I enjoy purchasing from your company.

Fantastic coat great fit.

This is one extremely well made coat and the brushed twill feels heavy enough for some abuse but is super soft from being brushed, I've even had a drunk seamstress rub her face on it (it was super weird). Plenty warm for fall and will be used for laying in winter, may be a bit much for summer. It does have somewhat of a greenish hue under incandescents, but brown under the sun and regular lights. True to size; I'm a size 42 on tape and in my regular suits, so I ordered the same, and it fits perfectly.

Nice chocolate brown color, deep pockets, and good construction right down to the button holes. Soft cotton fabric with enough bulk to stay warm even on chilly autumn mornings.

Is a good thing but i can't wearing them it is two numbers to big. :-( But i have take the size with your instruction. resend is not a option is to expensive from swiss to usa. that's a shame.

Great coat, great look. Lots of compliments. Heavier material and better construction than I expected. A welcome cold weather companion.

I like this coat, I wanted one for a steampunk outfit and this fits the bill nicely. I have one small criticism and that's why I didn't give it five stars. It has no hip pockets. This may be because of historical styling, but I do find it a bit of a drawback what with car keys and the like. Still, it's a great coat and I love wearing it. The sizing is good (I did take note of the issue with US sizing since I'm in the UK) and it fits really well, looks good too.
