Inverness capes, and Coburn great coat. Not worn yet. But I know I want to wear different coats depending on my mood.

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.

Excellent fit! Had the trousers hemmed and cuffed by a local tailor, very happy with it all. coat and vest are perfect fits. Good material, wish it would be just a slight bit thicker but overall pleased. Finally a nice suit!

I'm happy with the coat. It is cut too slim around the belly and unfortunately there is not enough cloth left to expand. We're not talking big belly, but I haven't had that hourglass figure since I was 18. I removed the shoulder pads. I appreciated the incredible hulk look, but it was not appropriate. Small changes would make it a perfect product.

Bought for a stage costume. Quick shipping.

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.

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.

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.

One of the numerous privations inflicted upon me after being cast 140 years into the future, was the utter lack of any clothing that bespoke my due place in society. Historical Emporium was of material assistance in addressing this, and in consequence, I will neglect no opportunity to sound their praises.

Good quality, good price and good service. Exactly what I needed.

Purchased for Horace Vandergelder in Hello Dolly; we decided it was time to build our late Victorian costume stock by investing in a few quality pieces. Unfortunately, this jacket reads dark green, not true grey. Also it was folded for so long that there are deep creases where the shoulder padding meets the front of the jacket that I don't would come out without major steaming. I plan to exchange for a wool frock coat, assuming the 40R works for this long-armed actor; otherwise will have to use this one in black (due to the unfortunate greenish tinge of the grey cotton).

A nice looking coat but was advertised as cotton but in reality is only 75% cotton. Might get to use this if I change the buttons. Good fit though.

I ordered this and several other items for my daughter's upcoming wedding. The entire package arrived several days earlier than expected, and I was skeptical of the purchase, but once receiving all the items I realized the material quality was high the fit was perfect and the price was great. I could not have bought a suit for the same price. I am amazed at the outstanding customer service from historical Emporium. I even had to change my pants size day after I ordered and it was corrected and I received the proper fit.

Looked great, fit well, terrific details on the back. Pair this with a top hat and some plaid pants and you're good to go!

Halloween 2023 is the event. Haven't decided as to how it will look or feel. Just being in disguise like everyone else. It's funny as to how many adults dress up for Halloween.

I'm an old west re-enactor. I play Wild Bill. He wore coats like this one. I'm very satisfied. Thank you. 

Its a better in person than on line. Delivery was quick and it was true to fit by the scale on line.

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

Had to exchanger for a larger size.... but Customer Service as always is there to please and help me out. Thankfully they had the next size up on hand. But overall..... the coat looked awesome. Got this for another WILD WILD WEST CON outfit.

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.

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.

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

This is not the first one of these I've bought. The ones I have for myself have held up over several years of occasional use. This was for my niece's "white coat" ceremony, now that she has proven herself in the family ranks of super geniuses.

I am 5’7”, 195lbs. I ordered the med/lrg. It is big. I knew it would be long after reading the reviews and expect it to be loose but it is BIG. I feel like a child in my dad’s shirt. I’ll attempt to talk my partner into some alterations for a better fit. All that said, this is a nice lab coat. Heavy fabric, much better than a costume piece. It does have a chemical/plastic smell, I believe from packaging or storage. If adequate measurement were added I’d give this 5 stars. Overall nice product.

I order the lab coat for an event and it was great.

The material is great, the construction is sturdy, and the design is perfect! I was a little nervous about the price point but it is well worth it 10/10

I decided on a mad scientist costume for our Halloween party, but was disappointed with the quality of the costumes I found. I risked spending a little more on this lab coat and was very pleased with the material and construction. This was my first order from Historical Emporium, but unlikely to be my last.

This coat was a little big on me and required some refitting on the edges, even after ordering a small. If you are also a small guy, make sure to consider that. It looked great and was perfect for halloween and will be used for many years!

6'2" and 220 lbs here. The Medium/Large fit really nice except for some short sleeves. Cosplay has gloves so this is actually a plus. The XL/2X fit like a circus tent - definitely for a plus size fella or someone who wants to do their own tailoring. Everything else is as expected. Super thick fabric.

Made of a nice strong durable material!

I just purchased 3 for an opera. Quality fabric and design. Well made and I was desperate for a quick delivery which they did. Actors love the costumes. Highly recommended. Julie

Very well made and something not seen before which prompted my creative mind. Your vision of accessories is outstanding and leaves one to expand to suit personal taste. Material and construction quality is beyond reproach. The purchase procedure and delivery was flawless. Many thanks, Rick

I have 2 of these in black and white. They have added a great touch to my plague doctor/mad scientist costumes. Product is good quality and looks great. I’ll continue to order from HE for all of my Halloween costume needs.

I am very very happy with my purchase.

I was looking for a legitimate Mad Scientist outfit for a cosplay photoshoot and You guys did not disappoint. Great outfit for my character. I purchased the lab coat and the black gauntlet gloves. It was well received.

Costume for the home lab.

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

The coat was exactly as advertised. The fit is great, and the material is high quality. Order with confidence.

Lots of nice detailing in the back.

What a very nice, well made coat! Upon receiving, this coat is exactly as it shows in the pictures. It hangs perfectly and all seems are tight. The material is very nice, tuxedo quality. Glad we ordered this coat. If all other items Historical Emporium offers are of this high quality, I'll definitely buy here again!!

Looks great. Great fit.

The Callahan frock coats are the best value frock coats that the Emporium offers; I have one in each colour!

The frock coat is well made, looks good and a fair price for what it is. I am happy with the coat, but wish there were a few changes. The padding in the shoulders feels a bit too stiff and bulky, something with a more natural shoulder shape would be nice. I was also a bit disappointed with the weight of the coat. The site does state the weight clearly, so this was more built up in my head, but a coat with this design, but made of a heavy material (such as wool), would be amazing. All in all, a good coat and I look forward to seeing what other coats Gentleman's Emporium releases in the future.

The coat is nice over all, well made. But I expected(wished) more rich looking fabric. Also because of thin fabric , I can see through the metal part of covered buttons. I think it may be easy to torn. I wish that more measurements are available when purchasing.

Good fabric, nice details on the back vent of the jacket. This gives it a tailored look even though it fits a spectrum of sizes. We were very pleased.

This is a great coat, fits well, and looks rather dashing. An excellent way to show your Browncoat allegiance.

I purchased this coat for my husband as a birthday gift. He loves the coat and it fits perfectly. We have purchased other items from Historical Emporium and have never been disappointed. I was pleasantly surprised when the coat arrived sooner than estimated.

The coat is great, better than I expected. The fast service was a plus. Truly 5 star!!!!!

I've worn this coat a few times and i can honestly say it really does turn heads.This coat is already one of my favorites.

Beautiful Coat, Nice Fit, perfect for Theatre!

We were very pleased with the quality and price of our frock coat. I'd highly recommend this coat and this site to anyone!

I purchased this frock coat for my husbands birthday and we could not be happier with it. It arrived in a box packed with enough paper packaging to cushion. The size chart was very accurate so I'm glad we measured before ordering. The detail pleating in the back was very crisp and all stitching throughout the garment is very neat. We recommend this coat to anyone looking for an accurate historical frock coat. It has really taken my husbands steampunk attire to the next level.

I plan to wear this garment as part of my internet profile picture. It suits me perfectly.

The coat was exactly as described and pictured but I ordered the wrong size (I ordered a Large and should have gotten a Medium). Even though I'm relatively geographically close to the warehouse I got an incredibly fast return turnaround delivery. Great (fantastic) customer service and excellent product.

The warmer months are upon us and that means it’s time to break out the light to mid weight coats. If you are looking for a stylish, comfortable and rugged coat that not only looks great but also keeps you warm on those breezy days and chilly nights, then The Mason Chore Coat checks every box on the list. The construction of this coat is extraordinary! This coat should be double the price or more based on its make and the materials used to construct it. The canvas is made of 100% cotton and it has a rich and unique texture that has a very durable feel and nice heftines to it, very similar to a trucker jacket. And the barely noticeable but tight stitching in the fabric is a testament to how well this coat has been constructed. I just love the modern style and the traditional charm that this coat brings with it. Fair warning, there is a very strong odor in the canvas that takes some getting used to, but for me, it just adds to the already intriguing allure of this coat. The odor becomes less pronounced over time and wearing of the coat. I am a big and tall guy that wears between 54 and 56 in the chest, 48 in the waist, sports a 19 inch neck and wears a regular size and this coat fits me perfectly. The relaxed fit allows for a free range of motion and I love the tapered look around the waist and midsection making the coat appear more form fitting rather than giving the wearer that boxy look that most chore coats present. This coat can be dressed up or down and the...
