I bought this coat to go with the Victorian outfit I put together for strolling around the historic buildings at Greenfield Village. The fit is good and it looks great!

We are purchasing costumes for ghost tours. I ordered the wrong size, returned the item, got an email the same day it was delivered back. They will send the correct size when it is back in stock. I am VERY impressed with the level of customer service! This will now be our go to shop!!

Good quality and feel.

Perfect size and fit for 46 L. Looks professional.

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.

I'm what is known as a serial kilter . Which simply means if I'm not at work I'm in a kilt. The cape I bought will be a great addition to my outfits in the winter when it gets cold here in Ohio and I'll still look stylish and look even better once I remove it. It's very pleased with the quality and it was worth the price. Be ordering from you soon.

I purchased this not for historical purposes but as a layering option. We've had a few cold days so far here in southern Wisconsin, and the Inverness Cape has performed very well. It's quite warm, and though I was worried about sizing since it's a one-size garment, it fits me well. Even generously; I'm 6'0" with 34-inch sleeves and the cape falls just above my wrists and mid-calf. I've worn it over a collared shirt and over a fleece hoodie, and I'm confident that it will fit over a heavier coat as well. The one criticism I'd offer is that the front of the cowl is liable to blowing open in the wind. A button to secure the cowl in front would be a convenient addition, though possibly not historically faithful to the garment as worn originally. I might work with a tailor to add some method of securing the cowl against the wind. But that's a minor point; I would still buy this cape again and I'm quite happy with the purchase.

I purchased this to for Dickens on the Strand this December, and to take with me to Scotland but it was more than I needed for Scotland. I look forward to wearing it this winter.

I wore it together with other Emporium Clothers for the Charles Dickens Festival in Deventer, Holland. It fits perfectly, is very good material and keeps wonderfully warm. I only can recommend it

We live in Michigan and winters can get pretty bitter. My husband had been looking for an Inverness cape for a couple of years, but they’re pricey or costume-y. I stumbled on this one while trying to find the name of the style coat and was surprised to see it was made of wool…and had good reviews. This one runs about the same price as a good quality topcoat, so it wasn’t unreasonable. When he opened it, he was delighted for three reasons: 1) It fit! he’s 6’4” and broad-chested, so normal clothes are screaming for mercy) 2) It was a heavy-weight wool. This weighs more than the Swiss-issued military dress coat he has. Fits him better, too. 3) It is warm. We are at the beginning of our winter and it was too warm for him at 32°.

Honestly this is such a nice coat! It arrived in a timely fashion and looks good on stage! It’s a little heavy but that’s because I’m weak!

My husband loves wearing this cape. When he is really cold there is room to wear it over his casual winter coat and still look good. A complete success.

Good quality. Warm and substantial but not overly "heavy weight". Fully lined. Expeditious delivery. Reasonably priced. No complaints.

I wear formal Scottish attire frequently, and the Inverness is the traditional outerwear. Yours fits wonderfully, and is suitable in any weather. I do not hesitate to recommend it as an excellent value.

Possibly the favorite item I've ordered from Historical Emporium so far, this is a strong, sturdy, and warm overcoat with great style. Definitely draws attention, but doesn't look like a cheap costume coat at all. Warm, practical, and effective... kept me comfortable and dry on a recent boat tour of Prince William Sound, Alaska.

For Halloween

Always excellent!

I was recovering from an injury and really wanted a new cape to look forward to wearing when I got better. This cape is amazing and very well made. It's high gloss satin and feels luxurious. I'm looking forward to buying the wool one as well, it's a vibe, ya'll!

This is a very nice cape! Very heavy and well made.

I bought this cape on a whim during the sale. I had a slight snag when ordering (not their fault), but worked with customer service on the phone. My issue was resolved quickly and painlessly, and I now own a really nice piece for Halloween and theater. So much nicer than any piece of junk you'd get from a discount store.

This is a great cape. Solid construction and stitching. I am planning on wearing it for conventions but it seems durable enough for frequent wear. I am Definately recommending this product and this website to my friends.

I ordered this cloak in hopes it would make it here in time with standard shipping. To my delight, the package arrived well before the expected date. Then I opened it. Wow what great quality. The cloak was amazing. This is not a cheap costume piece. Thank you H.E. I will definitely be doing more business with you and have already referred you to others who asked..."Where did you get that?"

I ordered this cloak along with the Historical Emporium's Vintage Black Velvet Smoking Jacket in order to dress as the Third Doctor from BBC's Doctor Who. Worked like a charm, and I can always dress as Jack the Ripper for those more horrifying of times. I am most certainly enjoying it. The satin has a nice shine to it so the red catches the light quite nicely. A downside to my combination of clothing is that the satin slides off the velvet so I spent a bit of time adjusting it to look right, but when I did it was glorious.

Will be looking good on Halloween!

I love it

The cloak was an amazing piece for my steampunk court outfit. It was a huge success and looked good.

Theater 1890s show

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.

Work clothing.

Fit great look good

Basic duster... roomy, long, tough material, great for mild weather

Duster looks great. Fits me perfect. I wear a size 42 regular, and the medium was the right size. It also gives enough freedom for my Cowboy Action Shooting matches. I'm 5'11" and hangs right at pant cuff level.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It’s just what I needed for my art and craft projects.Sorry this is not for cosplay or fancy dress I need it practical reasons.And this just perfect for acheiving my goals.
