Classical Dressage Option
I participate in Spanish Classical dressage tournaments and working equitation clinics. This is lovely material and feminine and you do not need to wear leggings with it like you do with some of the Spanish designs. I cannot wait to ride in it. It can also have an old west look to it. It's perfect!

I have several costumes for riding sidesaddle and needed something for a western look with various vests and jackets. These fit well, do not seem to bind and are slim looking around the waist and hips. I may hand wash as I don't want to change the fit one iota!! Lovely product, thank you!

I like this riding skirt very much. The quality of the workmanship is superb. This is the best made garment I have found in nearly 60 years. The quality of the fabric is excellent as is the quality of the notions. I appreciate greatly the depth of the pockets. I will be ordering additional riding skirts as well as other garments from you. Thank you for making not only a superb quality garment, but also a garment that a lady can wear anywhere and feel modestly dressed

Comfortable, stylish
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!

Pants are very well made and very soft. The only issue is the length since they're a one length fits all type pants so prepare another 20$ to your bill to get them properly hemmed but overall definitely worth the money

THICK PANTS
These are really good canvas, and are my second pair. The first were size 32 in another color. One thing to know is this color runs small. The 32” brown were like man leggings that don’t bend. I’m not overweight and I was muffining out the top. So sold that pair to a friend who is made of popsicle sticks and got myself 34”. Those are perfect!! So order a size up if you eat food.

Very well made
Very well made trousers. Unfortunately, I was trying to integrate them into my wardrobe and, due to the inseam and my wearing the new slimmer profile styles, I couldn't abide the mass of material at the crotch level.
I understand that the cut of these is authentic. Wish there were someone making a slimmer version with a more tapered leg.

Comfortable, lightweight
I ordered these for work pants (farm, woodworking, blacksmithing). They are very comfortable. The height of the waist is not a traditional high waist, but is a really good medium-height for me. The fabric is a nice brushed hard-wearing twill, but is definitely even lighter weight than I was expecting. That's okay, they'll be good summer pants, but it was a surprise.

Didn't Fit
The Trousers didn't fit, when ordering I didn't realize the cut of the Trouser was to be worn high. I have a 42 waist at my belly button, but order a 38 waist because I wear my jeans at my hips.
This was my mistake and not the Historical Emporium's. When ordering measure your belly button waist not your hips.

I received my order within a week and the pants were exactly as described. They are made of heavy fabric and are quality throughout. Sizing was spot on. I bought them for Cowboy Action Shooting and a period correct for 1880-1890 dress. A durable, well fitting addition to my cowboy outfit.

Great warm weather pants
I bought this to wear in warmer weather. The fabric is thinner, but still rugged. I shortened the legs and had my tailor use the material to make a pocket on the left hip cheek to match the patch pocket on the right cheek. I've learned the value of having more pockets, and since I wear a long rifle coat with these pants, it doesn't matter if historically accurate or not; it just makes sense to have 4 pockets. The pants fit well and look good; not overly baggy but not rock-n-roll tight either. The fabric feels like its treated for repellency; they look good with the tuxedo shirt and vest. If you're going for the "Tombstone Marshall" look, these will work well.

I like the way these pant fit, but I ordered them in size 40 waist think that they would be loose fitting like my Wranglers...

Be wary of the fit
I've been buying pants from this company for a couple of years now, and what they lack is good sizing control. I have had to return/donate so many pairs of brand new pants because some 34s fit more like a 32 and some fit me like they're a 35. Being that this is the only company I've seen hat makes pants like this, I'd appreciate if their sizing was more reliable because they have a nice product. This particular pant gets a 5 star review because it fits perfectly but this company's pants overall are a 3 star in my opinion just because of the headaches they've caused me in the past and recently. Order with caution.

Now all I need is a vest, proper shoes, and one more hat for the outfit to be complete, it makes for great ranch work clothing. Thank you guys so much!

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?

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.....
