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 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.

Great Duster. I am a good sized guy. I wear 3x in all shirts, coats, etc. I got this duster in 3x. Honestly I am 99% sure the 2X would fit fine. This is roomy, which is great, I can wear it over a shirt and vest with a gunbelt on and it does not bind anywhere. Well made

It's hard to get an idea of what a product is like without actually touching it and seeing the quality for yourself. I can tell you first hand that after I received this I was VERY happy to find that this is no movie prop, flimsy, cheap duster. This is a heavy duty, well constructed, quality garment that will hold up. Thanks Historical Emporium! I love your products.

While this jacket came as described on the website, I did find that it was a bit roomier than expected. I ordered a 3XT and ended up having it tailored with darts to eliminate some of the extra fabric across the chest. I still recommend this jacket, though if in doubt, you can size down for a more tailored fit.

The black duster goes great with the slouch hat as part of the warrior/priest outfit...it is the look I was looking for....thank you.

I have been dying a white cotton duster and am delighted to finally get a black one!

The label says 100% cotton however the material is uncomfortably rough.

This is a nice Duster for the price. seems to be made well and price is right on.

The duster is just as advertised. As I was checking the tracking, it said it was already at my door! I am well-pleased with both the coat and you're service. Order your normal size.

I wasnt expecting much but it is very well made. Its a thick canvas and heavy-duty stitching. I put a waterproofing spray befor its first use. I bought the coat one size to big because i wanted it to fit over my body armor. I am an armed security officer.

I can't wait to wear this at an actual event!

LOVE LOVE LOVE this duster, will be ordering more.

This duster is more than I was looking for it to be very happy with it

Duster is high quality and well made. A great duster for the price!

Purchased this as a gift for Grandson and he loved it! Made well & looks authentic- great price and quick ship.

Ordered an XL so I could wear a jacket or insulated shirt under it. Generous sleeve length and I have a long wingspan. Heavy denim will protect from the elements to a point. Quality garment at a good price.

As a big person I am always concerned about fit. This was fine, especially through the chest where I have problems - football lineman build. I wouldn't plan on wearing a suit coat underneath it, if you are a bigger person. Good quality garment especially for the price. Not advertised as water-repellent but I think it would stand up to the rain OK - at least the kind of rains we typically get in New Mexico!

The duster is well made. It is warm at night and keeps the wind out. The duster also repells water and in a light rain should do well. I'm very pleased with the purchase.

Just would like to start out saying that the service I got from Historical Emporium is outstanding !!! The Duster is perfect for my Western Steampunk gear. Fits just right except the sleeves are a little long, but can take care of that. A coworker seen the Duster and tried it on and loved it also. IT is not too heavy either.... feels just right. For the price..... you can't beat it. Just perfect.

the duster is a great weight, light but weighty enough to make an impact visually.

Awesome duster! As a circuit rider, I try not to go for anything too fancy, expensive, or luxurious. So, when I decided to purchase classic black canvas attire, I was worried I wouldn't be able to find a suitable coat. This coat is perfect! Just the right weight, and the quality, fit, and finish are fantastic! It is the perfect finishing touch to my Old West preacher wardrobe. Not too fancy, but at the same time it has a timeless look, style, and feel that make it stand out. It is very comfortable to wear and has a lot of room to move around in. I read reviews about the armpits being high and restrictive, but I have no issues with them at all, and the sleeves were the correct length as well. The fitting and measuring instructions were very accurate. Like all the products I've purchased from HE, I cannot say enough good things about them. Always very surprised and impressed with how much better the items are in person than they are online...and the online pics are pretty awesome! Thank You for another awesome product!

The sleeves have a high tight armpit that doesnt hsve a good fit when moving your arms forward (like driving). The rest of the fit, length, and look are great.

Authentic duster. Feel as if I could wear it to Tombstone and fit right in. Sturdy and well made. Not just a costume. Not fitted in the torso with plenty of room for your holster or an ample midsection Thanks!

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 a great frock coat. I like the way it fits and looks. The material, though cotton, is heavy. I thought it would be much more lightweight for the summer which is why I got the cotton instead of wool. It still deserves 5 stars..

Perfect fit! The color is superb. Sublime indeed!

My husband loved it for his Frederick Douglass enactment!

My new Callahan Frock is sharp! Looks good, feels good. Had to have some minor modifications made because of my shape, but it is a great coat!

The Callahan “Tombstone” frock coat - charcoal, is yet another Great Masterpiece by The Emporium. Its rugged elegance and mischievous charm goes far beyond most coats that I have ever seen. It's silky smooth, dark metallic hue is awe inspiring to say the least. And It's wide, brooding top in opposition to its tapered sleek waistline projects a majestic as well imposing appearance onto any garment that you might pair with it. And be certain that this coat is just as tough as the nickname of the town that it evokes, as the well crafted, heavyweight and durable construction is guaranteed to last you for several years to come. Trust me when I say, no serious gentleman’s wardrobe should be caught dead without the Callahan “Tombstone” frock coat. What more can I say, but thank you once again Emporium!

Absolutely beautiful garment!

Good quality. The color was just like on the screen. It arrived in two days. Great workmanship

Had to have one of these a great pice of History that gets all kinds of Kudos when worn today just like Historical Emporium will never go out of still and fashon .

Nothing to complain about with this superb coat - perfect for my daughters wedding

Fabulous style!

I read some of the reviews and one said that they ran small so I ordered a size up and it turned out to be too large, but I returned it for the next size down and it fit great. Love it!

Theses frocks are great... I might get one of every color.

Depending on your outfit it might be good to plan a size or two larger. Especially if you're planning to wear a shirt + vest. Other than that the coat is excellent. I'm a fan.

The Khaki Frock Coat is darker than I expected, which is exactly what I wanted since the brown color was sold out. Nice quality, and well made, this coat is just right for warmer days and nights, since it is a fairly light weight coat.

I have taken my charcoal Callahan frock coat to a tailor who says that the "balance points" are all off and the sleeves sewn on incorrectly. Perhaps it would be a good idea to have your coats (and other items that should fit according to formal standards) manufactured in a country, and by people, that are familiar with weraing these type of items...?

My experience with polyester, including blends, has been a love-hate thing for a long while. I have to watch what I spend on any one costuming item, so it makes certain things attainable for me... but generally doesn't look top-notch, or lacks a bit in how it's put together. Sometimes, though, I get lucky. This coat is an example. The fabric doesn't have that awful polyester shine that even some blends have, and it feels quite comfortable. The fit is nice, though a little roomy in the shoulders. But when worn with a full outfit, it looks right. I happen to prefer a two or three button front, but the color won me over, and I have to say that I feel the desire to buy the other colors. Oh, to be wealthy!

Again, another well made product. Not ecstatic about the material, but I understand the economics and am glad it was affordable.

This coat was poorly constructed. I took it to the tailor and he could not fix the puffiness in the shoulders because it was not made in a way that could even be fixed without rebuilding the whole coat. He didn't have the fabric, so this was not even an option, not to mention the expense. I found a different coat online that was better.

I have to say i am very happy with this coat.

The coat was well put together and the material being polyester was as I expected and acceptable. The shoulders, however, made me look like I was trying to try out as a linebacker. I took it to my tailor which I use for minor adjustments and he said that the shoulders were designed for a size 44 whereas the coat was a 38. He would have to take out two inches of shoulder and rebuild them. The total cost of tailoring was more than the cost of the coat. I've been highly pleased with the shirts and pants but this is my second strike with the frock coat.

Great fit, good quality, fast ship.

Excellent Quality Lining and Fit, Superb Style, and Tailoring. Detail of front buttons and tail vent are very classy. Material Fabric contains a Very Nice Quality and Finish. Recommend Highly. Excellent with Vest Mate.

Purchased to wear at my Son's wedding. Very pleased with the product quality and fit. Appreciated the Historical Emporium's prompt order processing and delivery of my order.

good quality and fits perfect and quick delevery

Nice spring jacket

Always wanted one, now I have it.

Apparently, you didn't receive the photos and comments that I sent.

Hello, Very nice coat, simple, perfectly matching the description, thank you.

I am absolutely thrilled with my purchase! I have ordered a number of Long Coats from Historical Emporium over the years, and every one of them has been akin to "Wish Fulfillment"! The quality of tailoring and fit have been great with each item, and this Duster continues the chain of excellence! Another stylish accoutrement for my Wardrobe!

Great product, great price and shipped quickly. Thanks

This nice well made duster

Works great for keeping the grime from public transportation off my clothes and very comfortable.

Great quality product at a good price, fast shipping.

I am rating this 4 stars only because it's heavier than the smock I was looking for. Otherwise, if you ride in a lot of buckboards, its a great canvas duster.

I needed these for a theatre production calling for red, white and blue trench coats. I chose these since the twill material would be the easiest to paint and they were a good price. My only 'eh' was that they are not really white, but more of a dull cream color. But it's a nice, well-made coat with weight without being heavy.

great item and fits great, perfect in a bi-plane or model t

Quality product ,superb detail and finish.. almost as if I,d clicked my heels and gone back to a Kansas Tailors in the 1800s

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 wanted this coat to pair with other items of my costume. It's of a high quality and the sizing is pretty much dead on! I will say it would be nice if the coat was a little tailored in the waist region, but this is not a criticism worth paying ant note of. I am 6'4, so pay attention to the long sizes as they are definitely the right choice for us giants.

Frock is great. Fits true to size. Worth the price.

The quality and historical accuracy of the coat created the perfect image of a Victorian gentleman.

This coat looks GOOD on me! Now... if I could just lose my belly... I'd look much better...

Nicely made coat but the fit is a bit sloppy in the shoulders. Could be tailored for a better fit.

I loved this coat when I first saw it on HE modeled with some trousers I was interested in. While I tend only to purchase natural fiber fabrics, I was very pleased with the look and feel of this blend! I was especially happy that it is a lighter/medium weight fabric than it may appear in the photos. But it's not an inexpensive feeling lightness -- it has a very nice hand. I already have long coats for cold weather wearing here in the PNW, so this one is absolutely perfect for spring, and even summer and fall. I'll be wearing it a lot! This coat is nicely constructed, and will likely hold up for my lifetime. The only negative is the plastic buttons. For me, they detract from the otherwise elegant look of this coat, but the price point for such a fine garment was very reasonable. I did replace them with some nice leather buttons, which likely would have added a lot to the shipped price, but make a big difference in the overall effect.

Stop Looking Around!!!!! You found it.. now just shop!! The Historical Emporium is THE place to get period clothing and accessories. The quality is outstanding and customer service is very quick to ship and answer any questions you might have about an item. We will be back for more wardrobe items.

The size is a little small but that's OK because I wear it in lieu of a jacket and wear it open. If I was going to wear it as an overcoat I would order a larger size. Light weight for southern living.

The coat is well made and fit my husband beautifully. It was delivered in a timely fashion, much sooner than I anticipated.

Nice length . It is vented which was not in the description. Shoulder were too big for a size 38 so have had them altered at $ 35.00 expense. Col Bob

I really like the Emerson Frock Coat. I usually stick to 100% cotton or wool, but this coat is a very nice blend. The material is soft and comfortable and it has the weight of an average sports coat. It seems to be the same material as the tweed Inverness coat. The flap pockets on the front are functional, not just for show. The detailing is solid. All around, this is a nice, well made Frock coat. I am delighted to have added it to my collection.

Love the coat. Fantastic product and am very excited about wearing it

Coat is well made, fits properly and looks great on. The only negative I might offer is that the nap of the lapel doesn’t seem to lie flat. It may be tailored incorrectly but it might just need a good pressing. I haven’t had a chance to sort it out yet. At any rate good value for the money spent.

Excellent quality coat. Sizing is accurate and the appearance is outstanding. Defininitly great value for the money.

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.

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
