i had a par just like these but got to fat so had to get an other pair this or very very good pants

Perfectly authentic replica! Cannot help but attract attention while out around town, but still comfortable and durable for daily chores. Easy to take care of as well! Thanks for the "heads up" on the inseam, I had my sewing machine by the ready, and hemmed them to the perfect length.

I was cast in the local community college's Advanced Cinematography movie as a western bartender. These trousers really set off my wardrobe! Got a lot of compliments from cast and crew (some of the others' wardrobe wasn't very "period.")

Great looking, great fit, service couldn't have been better.

Great looking, great fit, service couldn't have been better.

love the pants, i wish i could buy pants at the store with suspender buttons

I can't wait for my first opportunity to stroll out in these. Very pleased.

Quick delivery and great fit. I am very pleased.

The product was exactly what I was seeking.

Runs small, but this is a great purchase. Very pleased with the quality! Editor's note: Based on customer feedback, we have revised the sizing of this garment. Please check the sizing chart.

This is my second pair of Classic Riding Pants and I love them. They fit well (use the sizing chart), drape beautifully, and I like the longer length as just about any style of shoe or boot looks great. The fabric is soft but sturdy. Does require ironing or quick touch up. I've worn these riding pants with several Historical Emporium blouses, off the rack blouses, and casual pull over shirts. AND, there are two deep pockets! Bonus!

The riding pants are great. Love the fabric and full skirt. Use the size chart!

This is a beautifully crafted cotton skirt. Soft nice weight. Can easily be worn for dress or play depending on what you wear with it.

Now these pants are just about perfect in fit, style and fabric. The fit is perfect.

These pants are full length and very comfortable. Just what I was looking for! I wear them to church as an alternative to dresses so I can scurry after the little ones and maintain my modesty. I would suggest these to anyone!

BOUGHT THESE FOR MY WIFE WILD JOSIE BASSETT SHE WAS SO HAPPY....WE ROBBED THE TRAIN

I have more than one pair of trousers from you guys. I had the gray trousers hemmed, but I haven't had a chance to wear them yet. Even though I haven't worn them yet, I LOVE them, just as much as I love anything else I've bought from you! THANK YOU, Historical/Gentlemen's Emporium, for even existing!

Very, very high waist, which I like. Very long legs, but easy to hem. Heavy fabric, good for outdoors use.

Another great pair of pants that my son loves. Now he is saving up to buy the matching vest.

I have a couple pairs of these pants in different colors. They work well for a casual look especially, but you can dress them up with a "Sack Coat" and vest if you want. Comfortable as well!

Bought some sable brushed cotton trousers in brown, but brown and black do not a complete wardrobe make. Comfortable, well constructed, a bit heavy weight, nice finish. Really, nothing not to like.

My trousers arrived quickly, and upon inspect showed excellent quality of construction and material. My only regret is that I misjudged the measurement of the waist, not knowing exactly how high it was cut. I should have added three inches, not two. However, they will fit, albeit a bit snugly, and they will look great.

I got these pants because I liked the very similar Sable pants and wanted something "dressier." They're extremely good-quality, and pair very nicely with the Livingston vest or really any outfit. Gives it a nice offset. Note, though, that until you first dry-clean them, they tend to pick up hairs and lint.

I just love all my trousers from gentleman emporium, have been riding on horseback for many many miles the last years, and they are still in one peace ;-) But this is for a victorian summer in town ;-)

These trousers fit well (follow the sizing guide). The cloth is durable but comfortable, and, with the right accessories, they are very fashionable. Great buy.

Excellent product. This is my first buy in historical clothing and at this site. They answered questions about my sizing over the phone, and it arrived in the time window they projected. Great quality, very professional and sturdy. They look great. I measured my waist at belly-button and was surprised it was almost 38 inches(Usually a 34" pants is roomy on me), so I got a size 36 and its perfect. Snug at the waist, plenty of room on the legs for bending, etc. They come extra long, so be prepared to have to take up some, but that leaves room for a cuff if that's your thing.

The trousers are all I hoped for. Excellent quality, fit, and good service from start to finish!

This is the second time I've ordered from Historical Emporium! They do a great job with shipping, and the pants are always a great quality and just what I need for my theatrical productions.

You have to be pretty skinny and very tall at the same to fit in these trousers without adjustments. Folding up the legs are easier than expanding the waist, so go for a size somewhat bigger than usual if you are not sure. The feeling and the look are superb, though.

Comfortable , excellent Quality

Nice quality pants. Although all their pants apparently need to be hemmed (hence the loss of one star) they are of such nice quality I am considering buying more (now that I know my proper size and hopefully don't have to depend on their customer service replying to my email).

I am 6'6", 250lbs. The size I wear is 38x38. I ordered the 40x36 and the waist was right on and the length fits perfect. Who would of thought these pants would fit since my length is 38. The material is of good quality. I am going to buy me another pair.

I ride a lot for work. I wear old style western attire because the design fits the job! I get my money's worth from WE and would recommend them to anyone that sits a horse for work!!

They came very fast , very nice quality and the fit was good. Liked the way they came long so i could get them sized in length to get them. right

I re-enact and also am heavy into the Steampunk scene, I really needed a new set of britches, my wife found your web site and we ordered the Tan/Black Olson Saddle Pants. They arrived in less time than I had expected and the quality is a whole lot better then I expected! I used to buy another brand, I won't say the name but I will not cry over the difference (wah! ;) Anyway, thank you for a rugged and stylish product! These will wear like iron and look good for years to come... did I mention they are very comfortable? Thank you again, I will be ordering from Historical Emporium from now on!

I bought these for riding my motorcycle, once I had them tailored for my length. I had lots of left over material, so my tailor made me leg pockets for my wallet and glasses, now I have the ultimate riding pants, outstanding in the comfort level, in the overall fit bang on, with braces the comfort level is upped and above what you want. Did a 9 hour ride on the weekend from inland to the lakes, a lot of people had to stop and put their chaps on because their legs got cold, these pants held off the cold and then even were comfortable when we were into the heat. My pants for my month long bike ride.....thanks so much.....

excellent fitted perfectly just what i wanted

These are very accurate reproduction trousers from the 20's and 30's. Real fabric! They do, however, need to be hemmed up as any fine pair of pants would be. So you will need a seamstress. I love how authentic the costumes are from Historical Emporium

I'm super impressed with the quality of the fabric. It's soft, thick, luxurious. They are right- the fit is pretty snug for the size and the waist is outrageously high... both really work for the historical look, but it's something a bit different from the norm so be aware.

I purchase these trousers every chance I get! I use them for all kinds of shows and characters and I love adding them to the costume stock. They fit, wear extremely well and actors love them! True to size. Purchase with confidence!!!!!

I got so many great complements on these pants. I did have to have the legs hemmed, but that wasn't really a problem. The pants size matched what I ordered, and they fit great.

I was surprised when these pants arrived to see how long they were. My actor was not available to try them on so I had them shortened to his measurements and they fit perfectly. The rise is very long in these pants but they look wonderful. Don't be dismayed when you get them by how long they are.

Pretty much the same as the review for the Summerhill pants. The color combination for the Chadwick outfit fits what i wanted and needed for performing in the park. Do wish there was a spat option to really make the look.

The item ordered was not only just as described, but delivered very qiuckly! I highly recommend Historical Emporium!

I found out that just ordering a size up is enough for the high waist. I initially ordered up too much, and they were way to big. Once I got the right size, and had the length altered, these pants fit great. I received many compliments on the styling. Well made, heavy material, and the lines at the seams matched nicely. And, a big shout out the the folks at Historical Emporium for excellent service. They were wonderful and easy to work with when taking care of my swap for the right size.

I'm part of a steampunk organization and these trousers fit perfect - the exact size ordered, not over or under-sized. You will need to hem the legs though - they are super long!

The pants fit perfect. Thought I would never see a button fly again.

Comfy and stylish, a great pair of trousers.

Although quite long, as the description states, I am without a doubt extremely satisfied with these pants! It is literally the best money spent on a pair of pants in my lifetime. The fact that they sit higher on ones pelvis crests (waist) gives a comfortable feel. And I like that I can down the road purchases real suspenders. Even without suspenders the pants do not fall due to the tensioning strap in the lower back.

Customers, These pants will be a nice addition to our costume stock. Nice period colors Theatre girl

Great compliment to the matching vest and frock coat. Pants are a snug fit on your waist, so if you want them loose, go up a size. Braces will hold them. Legs are straight but not skinny jeans type.

I ordered these as a present for my boyfriend. When they came they were even better quality than I expected and he loved them! We are very satisfied with Gentlemen's Emporium.

Great fit, comfortable to wear. A big addition to my collection

I was looking for something I could wear to a wedding that would also be the basis for a Steampunk outfit. These pants are great quality and are perfect for what I want.

You need to have the inseam taken up for your length. Also the Crotch needs to be brought up. But these are quality Trousers, so it’s a small inconvenience.

These pants are perfect! They arrived quicker than expected. Workmanship and over quality is excellent. Super happy with this purchase. We are using them for an 1800's era Opera production; they would be great for any period look 1800 - early 1900.

These are first-class trousers, made of a very thick cotton. All sewing and buttons are top notch. Regarding sizing, I wear Levi's in a 33 waist, but followed the instructions and ordered a 36 pair of Ludlows. Waaaay too big. Reordered a 34 which fit perfectly! Fantastic purchase!

The web site recommends (in many cases) to order one size up, but that was not true my case. I am currently exchanging for my normal waist size but I'm sure I'm going to love them.

Perfect fit. Nice fabric. They look good!

This is a part of my finer clothes, and is in use in speciall times

I followed the instructions for determining my size, ordered 36 waist, even though my normal waist size is 34, and had to take the waist in 2 inches.

Good, durable trousers with an interesting colour combination.

I bought the Ludlow Trousers as part of a costume I was going to wear to Comic-Con. Never having been to one before I was a little vauge on what my look should be but being influenced by the First Doctor from the UK Sci-Fi show Doctor Who I was determined to abopt a Victorian/Edwardian look. Having "window shopped" the Historical Emporium on line for a while it was the first place I turned to for the products I wanted, and I was not dissapointed. The products I ordered are all top quality and the service just as much so. Can not reccomend or praise you high enough. Diolch

The fit is great, color excellent and priced fairly.

My local seamstress was very impressed with the quality of this gament and said these trousers could easily sell for $100 or more.

THE TROUSERS WERE EVERYTHING WE HAD HOPED FOR.

Perfect advice on fit, High quaility materials, heavy duty sewing everywhere. Great pants!

They fit correctly, they look good and they feel good. Glad I got um!

These look and feel exactly like they should. Yep, ordered two sizes larger as suggested and couldn’t be happier! Excellent quality. Now, I will look good whether or not I out shoot my buddies at the target match reenactments.

I read a review to order a size or two larger than normal, and im glad i did. Im extremely pleased with the sizing, quality, and finish of these pants. Theyre perfect to use from my late 18th century to 19th century stuff i do. I highly recommend these, and if youre looking to make them look more worn they stand up superbly to tumbling and all the other aging tricks.

I am using these as pants for Joseph Smith in a production. They look great

Found these trousers on a whim, searching for something my son could wear to school and still be observing the schools dress code. My son loved the pants, they worked great with the suspenders that he had purchased previously and fit great. As recommended we ordered a size up, they were a little big, but once you tuck in a shirt, put the suspenders on; they are perfect. I was also thoroughly impressed that we received them so quickly after ordering them, about a week and my son was wearing them to school. I am sure we will be making another order in the coming months.

These trousers are beautiful. They fit perfectly. Barely wrinkle. Why only a 4? Because the buttons are nice but have a flimsy sewing job to the garment. They popped off on the first day out. I do love them.

ALL AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA's...................54 and larger sizes need larger selection... tired of seeing SOLD OUT!!! 54 and larger vest need TALL option need that 2 inches... would be happy to pay more for that option.

On the pants - Love them - I bought a size 38, it fits but it fits like a 36 Plus - It's OK, I wear a size 36 but I always like to consider shrinking over time - hopefully they will be OK.

Very happy with my purchase

These trousers are really well made, I'd put them up against any top brand you could name and these trousers are of equal quality, and a great price!

Im trying to loss some weight but I needed these Trousers I where a Size 36 but i followed measure your torso just below your belly button, said to get a size 40 I ordered a 38 and they fit ok i think i could have ordered a 36 and still been ok.

wear them every day, bought more

My only comment is they come with an exterior tag that is tightly sewn on and needs to be carefully cut off. Other than that, they're great. Very durable canvas, look authentic. You're be able to see them in the movie Son of the Wolf!

Well made trousers, good quality fabric, but the size we ordered was too big. We returned & re-ordered a smaller size.

These pants are perfect khakis for a gentleman like myself. The pants have a classic rise that comes to the navel and a fish back. The pockets are lined in the khaki canvas. If you are a slimmer gentleman like myself you will want to order in the same size (or even a size smaller) than your typical pants as these sit at the stomach and not at the hips like modern fashion pants.

Fit great, and look even better!

My wife hemmed the legs and they fit perfectly. Light weight material will help to stay cool in the hot southeastern summer.

These lightweight twill trousers are just the thing for summer wear. Extremely comfortable and (except for the length prior to alteration) a perfect fit. I wear these all the time, not just to "Western" events, simply because they are so comfortable, especially in hot Texas weather. Why we ever transitioned to bluejeans, I'll never understand. I'm very happy with these, and plan to buy a couple of additional pairs.

These pants were exactly what we needed! We ordered one size larger than my son's usual pant size and the fit could not be better. Excellent quality and the lightweight twill will be perfect for summer. We have previously purchased these pants in the cotton canvas and were also quite pleased with the fit and quality of those. Shipping was incredibly fast. Even though we were told it would be about a week, we received the pants in a matter of days. We would definitely purchase these again!

Living the childhood I never had.....

True to size, had to hem, bought suspenders from another store for $5 Good value during sale pricing

Very high quality product. Excellent customer service and shipping. Item Look great . Only complaint i would have is seems that the pants ran about 1/2 size small. Which pleased my wife (she doesn't like me to wear loose pants) They looked like they were hand tailored to fit me. so i guess its not really a complaint after all. I will do business with these folks again .

These are the lightest weight Trousers I have found, They are a little slimmer than some others and are definitely cooler in South Florida. At the end of a three hour shooting match I did not feel as wasted as when I have had to wear heavier wight Trousers. Bob

I recently bought the Khaki twill classic canvas pants for my Willy Wonka outfit. I have quite a few f these types of trousers and they always fit and look great.

Great for a summer event, and great looking. They are right about ordering a size or two up. Jim can wear a 29 inch waist in jeans but we needed to go up to 32. Perfect with the suspenders. I think he will be wearing these instead of khakis when it's no jeans allowed, they suit him better!

A really great pair of mens trousers. Lightweight fabric for the warmer climate but sturdy and well made. Make sure you order the next size up as instructed and you'll have no problems with the fit. These are very comfortable and should be long lasting. You will need to have the hems taken up unless you are really tall.

I was satisfied with the Trousers.

Amazing quality! These are the sort of pants you can wear for every day wear, as well as for costuming... and seeing how, when I'm doing a small con like ConDorCon, and need costuming that also allows me to work (setting up studio props, and the like) these are sturdy enough, and comfortable enough to allow me to do that! This isn't costuming here... this is GARB!

High-waisted. High quality, comfortable and a great purchase.

Runs way small order 2 sizes up, otherwise great Editor's note: Based on customer feedback, we have revised the sizing of this garment. Please be sure to check the sizing chart.

Love the fabric. High waisted fit. Product is good, but does run small - had to inch it on over my hips. Editor's note: Based on customer feedback, we have revised the sizing of this garment. Please check the sizing chart.

Excellent quality ! Arrived on time , just runs really small , but very happy with this product! Editor's note: Based on customer feedback, we have revised the sizing of this garment. Please be sure to check the sizing chart.

These pants are full length which is very nice. The fit is a little different as they tend to give one a wedgy if you bend over. I ordered the Rust and Black classic riding pants and do not have that issue, so I believe it is just how this particular pair is made. Other than that, they are very comfortable.

I really like this riding skirt. I had worn the kind with a panel in front that can be buttoned to look like a skirt or pants. This skirt is a lot lighter to wear. It goes down to about the ankles and looks nice with my cowboy boots. Easy to climb over gates when doing chores and getting on a horse. Lays nice when in the saddle and doesn't really billow out or ride up. I especially like that I can wear a belt with this. I can't say how it holds up over time as I haven't worn it much yet. I got one size bigger than I normally wear and it just fits. I would get another that is one size bigger for winter so that I would have room for wearing long underwear or sweatpants underneath. I would recommend this to any cowgirl who wants to feel or look modest and feminine.

Great quality, authentic design

Great quality, authentic design

This is the second time I have ordered the Ferndale Striped Trousers due to their great look and reliable quality. While they are true to size as described on the website, it should be noted that because they are cotton, they do stretch once worn and heated up by the body - similar to how jeans will stretch out once worn several times. I highly recommend these durable trousers.

Great style and fit! And as usual, quick service from HE!

Do as other reviewers have suggested, and step up your pant size, just as I did. And don't forget to order your suspenders because if you think you can find button suspenders in your town as I thought I could, you will be coming back for a second order and paying additional shipping charges.

I was very pleased with the quality of the item, very well made for the price.

I love these trousers. Exactly as described, did need to cut and hem them, but that was expected. They fit well, and I am quite happy with this purchase. Highly recommendable Purchase.

Highly recommend!! I find them so comfortable on a day to day basis.

These are probably the best pair of pants I've ever owned, I wore a pair for over a year or so before the constant use and abuse wore them out. I was devastated when I could no longer wear them and the Emporium didn't have my size at the time, luckily they finally came back in stock recently and I couldn't be happier! They're comfortable, sit nice and high, and have plenty of room in the pockets. I love the stripes and how they look once properly hemmed, I definitely recommend 'em

I wear a 32 in Levis. I should have ordered a 34 No way to alter waist. Order large and tailor to fit.

Wow! These are great! Wore them w/ my Vigilante coat to Church & received lots of compliments. I'm one of those jack of all trades kinda guys. I can weld as well as stitch a seam so I hemmed them with a 1" rolled up cuff for snazzy-ness sakes. Also, ordered a size up like they said to do & what a perfect fit! Now I'm ditching jeans as work pants & ordering the canvas version of these. They're that comfortable & well made :)

I ordered these and within days it was at my doorstep. The pants fit around my boots perfectly with no bagginess and though the pants are longer in length, they never ride low on my boots or go below the heel., very comfortable and the stripes are well defined. Definitely happy with the purchase

These period trousers worked perfectly for the theater costume I wanted to create. The advice of ordering one size bigger than your normal pant size was most helpful and assured that the fit was ideal. I normally wear a 36 waist (35 really) but to be cautious I ordered the Ferndale pants in a size 38. The higher-riding waistline fit me perfectly and once my wife hemmed them, and suspenders were attached, I was totally satisfied with the look and authenticity. The website stated that size 38 was "special order" and could take 10 to 14 days to arrive. Imagine my surprise when they came in 4 days. Great service and great product.

I'm a little surprised I didn't buy these earlier. They're very nice on all counts. The pattern and color look sharp; bolder and more eye-catching than solids, but not so much that they're garish. The material is lightweight and comfortable. And they just look dang good. Frankly, I'm starting to think the matching vest is calling my name to go with these pants. In short: These are a good pick!

The stripe in these trousers give it a great period look. The level of contrast between the darker and lighter stripe is perfect, just enough to be noticeable in a photo. Fabric sits in a nice comfortable zone between casual and formal; you can dress these up or down depending on what you pair them with. I concur with other reviewers, the navy looks more black to my eye...but this is good, makes these more versatile. Fit is snug, sizing up is a good idea.
