Decent. Made overseas - disappointing. buttons could be better - perhaps a copper tone. I bought some aftermarket buttons to replace on the front. Other than that, coat is nice.

Want to feel epic? Put one of these coats on and feel invincible. Wears comfortably, hangs and flows with just the right amount of dramatic flair to draw attention without being flashy.

Nice! Love the long design and details on the back.

i am 5'10 3/4 i asked for suggested size figuring about a 44 inch chest- about 4 inches for under clothing vest be ok but the arms wish were inch longer and bulkier around the elbows- provided it never shrinks good for late spring early fall- lining not that great sewed in and knew from ordering be too long about 3" too long really- think the stitching be better- now it does have small front pockets fits about 4 of my fingers comfortable and wonder why anyone make coat with such small pocket- then dawned on me they are a perfect size for deck of cards and Dillinger or some small hand gun that 4 fingers could grab hold of and access without fishing around in over sized pockets- i knot sure thats the reason but does seem practical- i do like the coat but for the price idk thats kinda iffy- think if took more stitching and resized the arms yeah but i still questioning the value over cost- but it is an interesting coat and i do like it fact is wore it today- it my take mom to dr's and go to bank kinda coat- but is nice in appearance

Nice coat, well made. Too long though. Would like another button or two down the front. And a way to turn the collar up to close and button around the neck. That might be a different type of coat though.

I have been looking for years for a genuine rifle coat for years when I finally got one from historical emporium and it is absolutely magnificent. Quality of materials, workmanship, and tailoring are superb. The finishing touches on the garment are just outstanding. Can’t go wrong here!

I have coveted one of these coats for a very long time, and it took a lot of searching to find what I specifically wanted. This fits the bill exactly! You can wear it anywhere and people always comment on cool it looks. I may need another one!

I bought this for my husband and he wore it to a recent show we saw. I has lovely tailoring an a great flow to the cut.

Absolutely loved the Black Rifle Coat. Lightweight, comfortable and great lines. Bought mine at my size as I intend to use it as a coat, not over coat. Will now need to get another one. :) Made the mistake of wearing it to see a musical version of Calamity Jane and upstaging the actor playing Wild Bill Hickok. Love this coat.

excelent

The coat came exactly as described. I am of average height (5'9") so it is a little long (I'll take it in to be hemmed). The sizing was exact in that it runs a little large so it can be worn over a dress jacket. Exceptional service by GE. Would definitely do business with them again.

Exactly what I ordrerd , perfect! Delivery was as communicated. If you like this type of clothing I would highly recomend this site.

I purchased this for a costume design for Watson and it worked lovely! We were able to Quick Rig it on and off the actor so quick costume changes were possible. Will be buying time period stuff from here always!

Hope he likes it.

Very well made. Heavy frock coat. My correct size is 44R but it was too big in the shoulders. It's such a nice coat I choose to have it altered rather than spend it back.

The coat fit great and I was surprised at the quality. Looks fantastic!

Having been a Civil War reenactor for almost thirty years, in various time periods, I like the look of a frock coat. And wonder why they were ever shortened to the sack suit. The Emporium is my go-to shop for period clothing. I only wish I could afford more!

I purchased a very very nice Emerson Frock Coat - Gray Herringbone Tweed. I love it. It fits like a glove. Fast shipping but very high Custom fees. But still a great experience shopping at Historical Emporium Stores, Thanks.

The Emerson Frock Coat is very well put-together. It's a little heavier than I was expecting. Not too much so but, with a cardigan, would make for a quite reasonable Fall weight overcoat. The inner pocket is a bit higher than one might expect, but not at all difficult to access. Just an adjustment going from my Coburn to this (plus left/right transition). Very happy with the build quality, fit, and finish.

This coat is exactly what I was looking for it is well worth the $$$$

Just what I needed for a slightly less formal frock coat.

As advertised. Great Quality

When I originally ordered it, I specified a size 42. Turns out that these run about one size too large, so I had to exchange it for a 40. No problem. Instructions were easy to follow. I repacked it with the exchange form from the website, shipped it off. Within three days, the corrected size arrived. Easy!

Bought this for my Victorian-themed wedding outfit and everyone LOVED it! It paired exquisitely with the darker grey vest I also got from Historical Emporium. The color and texture of the fabric are lovely, and it's also very sturdy - a great bonus for a formalwear garment. I'm around 230 pounds of a somewhat athletic/hefty build, and the 46 fit perfectly. I wore it all through the ceremony and all day with no desire to take it off. I could wish for some external pockets, but it does have two inside pockets, and if you're wearing a vest with it, you've already got some pockets anyway. Great purchase! It will be a mainstay of historical dress-up occasions with the other items I've bought here.

I bought this for Mark Twain Days. Lots of people dress is 1860's attire for the event. I look like I just arrived out west during the Comstock Era.

With a traditional cut lacking exterior pockets and having a separate piece of fabric for the lower part of the coat, this sleek coat catches the eye with a distinctive and classic flair. At the same time the heavy cotton, vaguely reminiscent of the early days of denim in the 1800s, is hardy and comfortable. I've received many compliments wearing it with or without the full period complement. I'll caution that it is a bit stiff at first--I had to wear it a few days before it felt more natural, as it the case with heavy cotton fabric. Most of my traditional coats are black. This is such a fun contrast.

Exactly what I was looking for. Quality is very good, a fully lined coat.

Product was exactly what we expected. It will be an excellent addition to our costume stock.

I got the Light Gray Cotton Frock Coat at a great price. It is well made and I love it. Delivery was prompt with no problems. I will soon be purchasing the matching pants and vest. Thanks, I believe I have found a new "go to" for period clothing which I love.

Used this for a play and was impressed by the quality and durability. It looked great both up close and on stage.

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.

nicely made with period features. The fit was as discribed.

Worth every penny! Got so many compliments during the bridgerton experience!

An absolutely delightful coat, very well made, and good fit. The tails go down to the back of the knees on me -- 5'7" female in an XL. Sleeves are a little long, but expected for the time period.

I am not the usual skinny person who can buy a medium or large of anything and have it fit them. I've had some trial and error trying to find a tailcoat for a vampire event. I ordered using the size chart based on my shoulder and chest size and the jacket fits perfectly. Very happy with the fit as well as the quality.

A beautiful, well made piece that I expect to have for years to come. It's the final part of my "Regency Tuxedo" and fits quite well with the black Drop Front Pants and red Cavalier Vest that I had purchased previously.

Decided to go to an "early Halloween" party in steampunk drag and needed a proper cape to set off he stuff I had. I paid for expediated delivery and had the item the very next day, and very nice it is too. Not too heavy and still quite warm. I am 5' 8", 255 lbs with a 20" neck. The cape fitted well but the neck was tight when not wearing a collared shirt. I thought I might wear it open anyway, but wanted it not to slip off my shoulders, so I made a cape fastener by sewing two 22 mm buttons back-to-back with a small gap between them, and hot gluing decorative cogs to one button. By slipping this contraption into the open buttonhole opposite the top button and linking it to the cape's top button with a chain loop the cape was held securely, open slightly to display my ascot, with no danger of falling from my shoulders. Based on this purchase I will be using Historical Emporium for future costuming needs with no reservations.

I'm an Actor needed in a dark, dreary, outdoor cemetery scene of ages ago, and this caped cloak enhances the look perfectly.

It is a bit concerning to buy clothing that only has one size, but I am happy with the Inverness Cape I bought. It is a large and encompassing coat and depending on how much you wear beneath even the cotton version gets warm. I am 5'10" and 170 lbs and west the cape over a suit jacket and it work well. The wool version might be more rugged for ongoing wear, but as a costume the cotton one is fine.

The cape is great. It is much better quality then I expected. I am very happy with it.

This thing is GIGANTIC! 5 Stars for quality--really well-made--but would best fit 6'3 & 215lbs (tee-hee). Seriously, this cape is comparable to a Mens 3X--maybe larger. A great piece for hard-to-fit Tall & Hefty actors who want quality outer-wear. I will pass this along to another Victorian cosplayer--it's too nice to return. Historical Emporium: Please make this selection in a more realistic option (Men's Large, perhaps?). I would gladly purchase it again if it were available in a smaller size.

I have purchased several items and they have all been awsome.

Got expedited shipping and received within 48 hours. Cape is well made and has lining. Material is soft. Recommended.

Nice, lightweight cloak. Flows nicely and well made.

Absolutely perfect been threatening to buy for a year now and glad I did it's my new weekend uniform.

It is well made, but it's a little towards costume-like rather than Saville Row, but it will be cozy and festive on Christmas morning. The velvet is soft and the color is rich. If you want the couture quality craftsmanship for a smoking robe, you can spend $300 more.

It is a quality costume product. Price was a little high though.

Very nice for an Edwardian motoring outfit, I think. Fits nicely.

I ordered a 2XL, which is slightly too large for me (XL is almost too small, and 2XL is too big). The jacket is very nice and very attractive, but it is very large through the shoulders. I may have to have the jacket altered for better fit (but I accepted that eventuality when I ordered the 2XL). The items I ordered arrived quickly and in good condition. I look forward to future purchases from Historical Emporium. I love the styles -- apparently, I was born at least 100-years too late.

I love this Mad Scientist lab coat. I am doing a Mad Scientist Cosplay for my next comicon. Good Quality!!

Costume lab coat. Good fabric, decent construction. Cut very generously- full in the waist (there is a belt in the back to take in some of the fullness) and the sleeves are straight cut and wide at the cuffs. Standing collar is rather tall and has some body to it so it won't quickly roll or collapse. A very good costume piece , large enough to wear over a sweater or jacket, which has much possibility to be tailored for a better fit

Definitely Measure Yourself Instead of Assuming! I'm a shorter, curvier person who likes a bit of wiggle room in my clothes. I've been wanting this for ages, and when I finally got it I ordered the wrong size not once, but twice! Why? Because I'm used to always getting a 3x/4x , and then the 3x was too big, so I went to med/large, which was just a barely too small to close! And finally, I got the perfect size (XL/2X), which fits PERFECTLY. I can now live my stylish mad scientist dreams, and look absolutely amazing doing so. This labcoat looks nice on the body, making a great silhouette, and makes the user -- or me, in this case -- feel confident. It's amazing quality, too!

Fits perfectly, made well, No complaints.

Wow! I am extra happy with the coat. The materials (fabric and buttons) are quality and the construction is very professional. It FITS!!! Yeah. I love Halloween and first time since childhood that I will have a costume I love and it FITS! Thanks.

It fits the 3x/4x is true its true. Being a big person it's always a crap shoot when ordering something like this when I go to the event I'll take some photos. Extremely happy.

You tired of the back and forth with amazon. Poor quality, runing late, and lack of durability. These is the answer. It has a great thickness balanced well with the wieght . I followed the instructions on sizing and it fits perfectly. Buy these guy you will not regret it, don't be fooled buy the others. This one is for keeps.

The quality of the coat is well worth the money payed for it. It's made from good material and you can tell this isn't some crappy costume you would buy at a store. I bought a size small and thought that even then it might be a bit too big for me but it fit great, although a little long (seeing as I'm only 5'4"/female) it's not an issue. If you are looking for something like this I definitely recommend buying it from this seller, you wont be disappointed and will most likely be buying something that will last a long time and make many awesome memories no matter what occasions you dress up to.

This costume is awesome! Absolutely perfect for the mad scientist look!

It is incredible. To be honest, I wear it while I'm cooking! Yes, a little mad alchemy in the kitchen. It's so much fun! Thank you

This is a fabulous item. This is the second version of this coat I have purchased. This is for a plague doctor. I also own a white version to be a mad (well, slightly peeved) scientist. Both fit wonderfully and are comfortable to wear for an extended time. The only negative is the buttons can be a little difficult to work sometimes due to placement. It is a great purchase that will last many years (my white coat is around 5 years old and in near-perfect shape).

Superb quality fabric and excellently adhered buttons. It is indeed larger than expected and sizing down is a good idea. This is a commercial-quality coat that has so far done a fantastic job of repelling the blood and fluids of political prisoners and coronavirus-infected degenerates.

Do not confuse this with halloween costume crap - it will stand up to close scrutiny - all the buttons are working buttons. It is stage quality. Bought this for an Uncle Fester halloween costume for 2 reasons: it appeared to be well-made and it wasn't a monks robe (which every other dealer tried to pass off as Fester's coat). Alright, this wasn't going to be Fester's coat either, but it looked much closer than anything else I could find. It was perfect! I ordered a XXXL because I wanted to stuff a pillow under it and the fit was still a little loose - at 5' 10" the length was all the way to the floor without tripping over it. Add some makeup and a trick light bulb and, poof - Uncle Fester! Helps to start out with a bald head because skull caps are a pita. I also bought a pair of German made welder goggles with 3 different pairs of lens shades - only ones I could find that actually had metal rims, everything in the steam punk world was plastic. Take off the makeup, add the goggles and some wild hair (or not) and let the mad loose. The coat is made from a good cloth and stitched well so it should last for years, unless you really are a scientist, mad or otherwise, and expect to use it daily. I could see using this for a Mortician as well as the Uncle Fester and Mad Scientist costumes. I just ask myself, "What would Christopher Lloyd do with this coat?"

Really, no joke. It is almost too big which for me is a pleasant surprise, I ordered a size larger out of habit expecting to have to send it back for being too short, or not being able to put my arms through the sleeves, instead a well made and accurate sized garment arrived in record time. I am quite pleased.
