Bought to ride in - look and feel awesome!

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!

No occasion just like wearing them

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

I bought these riding pants in both black and denim. They fit , wear and wash beautifully. I love every item I have ever purchased a Historical Emporium. I wear the blouses on a daily basis. I have been your customer for quite a few years and have never been disappointed in the quality of the clothing and the service is excellent!

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

More trousers made from if would be great.

Love the fabric, the cut and style but these run a bit small compared to another brand I purchased from you. They still look great

Picked these up for outdoor yard work, very well made and fit and look good. Would recommend these to anyone.

Fit and finish are excellent. Will buy again.

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.

The quality of these trousers is unquestionable.

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.

Great service, great clothes! Period authentic! Fit the part! Super durable, not just looks but wear this gear while working the property as well! Highly recommend.

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.

Good work pants

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 product well made. Like the fit.

more comfortable material. Would buy again. Bought for working at 1880 Town

great fit

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... I think I may have to send them back to trade for a 42" waist size...

Had to go up a couple of sizes. Very nice pants. Liked them so much I ordered a second pair.

Stripe color is darker and richer than show in photo, which makes for beautiful look. Twill texture is rich and engaging.

Excellent fit and quality. I volunteer on the Train Crew for the Northwest Railway Museum in Snoqualmie, WA. These trousers are a welcome addition to my period clothing for portraying a railroad worker from the early 1900's.

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.

This is my 4th pair of historical emporium trousers and my favourite. They are lighter in weight than the canvas trousers but still quite sturdy. I wish they would offer wabash/stifel stripes.

These are amazing and are way higher quality than I thought they would be

Got married and I was looking soon good!!!

Heavy. Good heavy fabric. Heavier than the canvas saddle pants. Picture, to me, looks green. Good smoke grey when in hand. Fit is accurate. Will need to be hemmed if you aren't a longshanks.

I've been quite happy with the product and service I've received from Historical Emporium over the years. The Patterson and Livingston trousers are no different. The fit is perfect using the measuring guide. Follow the instructions, though; these do not fit like modern pants. The quality is outstanding; if they're like previous trousers I've owned from Historical Emporium, I know they will last for many years of frequent wear. The brushed cotton is very unique; a soft peach-fuzz texture, but also durable like jeans. As for customer service, my orders have always shipped promptly. When I needed to exchange a product, it was taken care of quickly. When I've had questions, the customer support team replied to my emails promptly and professional. Overall, I highly recommend these trousers and Historical Emporium.

Just what I wanted

This is an awesome skirt made with sturdy fabric and buttons. The inseam is slightly short for me at 5' 10" but it's not enough to deter me from wearing it.

I'm wearing this convertible riding skirt when I portray Sara Plummer Lemmon in Truckee's Historical Haunted Tour!

Needed a new look for showing up to events for my equine therapy nonprofit and this fits the bill! It can be pants or skirt and has a great vintage Wild West look. Made of sturdy material - many riding skirts are too thin. I can't wait to try it in the saddle!

This convertible skirt is for a production of Little Women at a high school theater. The concept is perfect for the character. An XS size would be helpful but it was an easy alteration.

Everyday wear,

My grandmother owed me a BDay present from last year, so she agreed to get this for me, all she needed to do was hem the length a bit so they fit properly. 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!

Cowboy reception. People said I looked authentic.

Used the size chart to get the right size, when they arrived I tried them on they were so big they fell off To much trouble to send them back so I took them to a tailor and had them altered. Quality was good would buy again

Well done. Great fit.

I am very impressed with this product; they fit perfectly in the waist but had to have the inseam shortened.

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

Great pants. Made of canvas. Similar to the pants sold by Cathay. Should last forever.

I'm a photographer and bought these for my model for a historical photoshoot. They are well made and tough, the only issue I had was that one pocket was sewn into the crotch seam. I was able to remove the stitching and they were fine after that.

I have been longing to get a pair just like these. Very pleased with the quality and fit. This will be perfect in my new role at Original 1880 Town in South Dakota.

You folks put a lot of emphasis on "occasion'. Try this! In my case, there ain't no special occasion. I'll reiterate that the britches FIT! They come up on your waist like britches should and not under where your trousers are underneath your belly like some form of a ding bat. They have POCKETS that actually can hold stuff and don't fit so tight that when you put something in your pocket it doesn't imprint and be uncomfortable when you sit. They come with enough material in the legs to actually have them hemmed in a full break, half break, whatever, or "high waters" if you wear boots. Style and fashion for skinny jeans and pistol legged pants that come half way to your knees is a "con" contrived by manufacturers that started just before WWII and THEN as well as NOW, to add insult to injury, they upped their darned prices for less material in the names of "style and fashion". They ain't worth a tinker's damn! Brothers' don't bend over to pick up your soap in the showers! They're more than happy to take your money for less. These pants are great for everyday wear and won't present your naked arse when you stoop or bend over. They come with brace attachments and truth of the matter is, suspenders work much, much better than belts anyway. Even with all the “BS” that goes on in Washington, (and has been for decades) making it harder and harder for the middle class, it's worth a "few dollars more", (and I like Clinton Eastwood movies), to have the hems adjusted just the way...

Work clothing.

I purchased these trousers to wear while riding and working with my mule . They are very well made , from substantial fabric , and extremely comfortable with room for movement . I'm a big guy , with large leg muscles , and these are comfortable whether standing , walking , or sitting in the saddle . They have that cool "old west" look too!

These all cotton trousers lasted me ~5 years each time (owned 2 pair) with heavy wear (100 times a year for work). About to get them again. Good period fit, great buttons, includes replacement buttons if needed, wash fine like modern denim. Like all cotton, fades with sun exposure and wear, but that is part of the purpose- these are fine to actually live and work in.

Great product

Put these bad boys on and immediately got transported into the Oregon Trail. It's nice and peaceful out here but dysentery is almost guaranteed. It's a good thing these things aren't letting anything in or out.

A reenacting event in Little Rock, AR. Things were great. I looked and felt great. But be aware, your size is not the same size as Wal Mart so get them a little larger.

I like the style and look. I was best man at a frontier wild west wedding. Lots of compliments on the overall, authentic look.

Needed hard working jeans
