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

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

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.

We received our order promptly upon ordering online. All of the items are very durable for much wear for living history programming. We would like to see the clothing become more and more authentic in the patterns of each era being depicted and sold even if the prices are a bit higher for greater historical accuracy.

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

Well crafted and arrived on time. Thank you!

I wear high-waisted trousers from Historical Emporium daily (for everything), and these beauties will fill the order for more special-occasions. Straight out of the package, all these trousers fit me like a glove. I can hardly tolerate modern-waisted trousers/shorts anymore. Thank you for your good work and keep it up!

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

PEOPLE ASK ME WHERE I GOT THE PANTS THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE GOOD

Exactly what I expected. Good quality. Heavy duty pants.

I love the weight of this fabric. It's like a thick yet soft and flexible denim. The pants look great and they feel great. Nice deep pockets! Solid construction! Warning: the waist is truly very high. Don't order these if you don't like that.

Very well made, Will require custom hemming, the pant legs are about 10 inches too long for me but I knew this before purchasing. Would and will buy again.

Got these for a cosplay, they match the style and look exactly for what I was going for, and the material is great, they're more durable feeling then my actual work pants!

I am gradually converting my everyday wardrobe to 19th century trousers from Historical Emporium---they seem to work for most occasions and I get lots of compliments and queries about them.

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!

I use the trousers every day. I'm a farmer. Same or better than big name brands. The leg's are made long for you to have the pants made your length.

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

Look great feel great in these troysers

Another pair of good wearing pants that's good look good is good

Item was exactly as described, decent material for the price and arrived super fast.

These trousers are Historical Emporium's usual high quality sewing and fabric.

Needed new stile

I love the pants. They have become my go to pants whenever I leave my house. Very comfortable to wear. I highly recommend them.

Our production of "Arsenic and Old Lace" called for a teddy. Roosevelt on safari look. The sizing was perfect, and the look authentic.

Look and feel great!!! gracias

the pants surprised me by being very light weight.. apparently i didn't fully read .. or they weren't described as such.... they do run smaller and rereading you need to measure your mid belly to get the right fit .. you cannot go by waist size and it does in fact say that in measuring for them SO pay attention..

I can't express just how pleased I am with all your products. I've tried looking at others, and nothing i've found has compared.

Much thinner than Classic Canvas Trousers - Brown but great anyway.

Realy nice trousers and the pale colour will work well with the Davenport coat

Pants are GREAT!! Well made and much more comfortable than jeans. The rep I spoke to recommended one size up from my jeans size and the fit was perfect. VERY pleased with product and overall experience. Will definitely buy more clothing in the near future.

They perfectly, and are very comfortable. I wear these for work and they are perfect for me. I will be reordering.
