Very Nice Cape
Decided to go to an "early Halloween" party in steampunk drag and needed a proper cape to set off he stuff I had.
I paid for expediated delivery and had the item the very next day, and very nice it is too. Not too heavy and still quite warm.
I am 5' 8", 255 lbs with a 20" neck.
The cape fitted well but the neck was tight when not wearing a collared shirt. I thought I might wear it open anyway, but wanted it not to slip off my shoulders, so I made a cape fastener by sewing two 22 mm buttons back-to-back with a small gap between them, and hot gluing decorative cogs to one button.
By slipping this contraption into the open buttonhole opposite the top button and linking it to the cape's top button with a chain loop the cape was held securely, open slightly to display my ascot, with no danger of falling from my shoulders.
Based on this purchase I will be using Historical Emporium for future costuming needs with no reservations.

A great value with quality materials and...
I'm an Actor needed in a dark, dreary, outdoor cemetery scene of ages ago, and this caped cloak enhances the look perfectly.

Big and Comfortable
It is a bit concerning to buy clothing that only has one size, but I am happy with the Inverness Cape I bought. It is a large and encompassing coat and depending on how much you wear beneath even the cotton version gets warm. I am 5'10" and 170 lbs and west the cape over a suit jacket and it work well. The wool version might be more rugged for ongoing wear, but as a costume the cotton one is fine.

Beautiful ... but ENORMOUS!
This thing is GIGANTIC! 5 Stars for quality--really well-made--but would best fit 6'3 & 215lbs (tee-hee).
Seriously, this cape is comparable to a Mens 3X--maybe larger.
A great piece for hard-to-fit Tall & Hefty actors who want quality outer-wear.
I will pass this along to another Victorian cosplayer--it's too nice to return.
Historical Emporium: Please make this selection in a more realistic option (Men's Large, perhaps?).
I would gladly purchase it again if it were available in a smaller size.

Big Cape
This cape is quite large and would be very helpful if one needed to smuggle a small animal or some type of pilfered artifact on and off of a train.

For a variety of outerwear
Bought the black cotton Inverness Cape this time, along with the black cotton Callahan Frock Coat and the black wool Coburn Great Coat I had purchased previously. The Callahan Sack Coat will be purchased before long. Still too warm to wear. I really like these styles.

Wow! Impressive!
I'm impressed! Much better made than I expected. This will work well with my collection of hats; pirate, detective, western, the shadow, etc. As far as the fit goes, it's just rite for my 6' 3" - 211lb frame.

More than happy!
I honestly did not know what to expect as far as quality and I have to say I was very impressed. The cape is beautifully made. It is not some cheap reproduction but a well put together, stunning piece of clothing. It’s one size fits all is a little big on me. I’m 5’ 11” at 185 lbs and the shoulders are a little large, but I can certainly live with that. I would recommend Historical Emporium to anyone looking for quality period clothing.

Real clothe, not a costume
Was perfect for acting Jack The Ripper last Halloween, it's twice the price of a cheap costume but 10 times better quality, even more!

The black Inverness Cape
The cape looks good, all seems to be in order with it, how it is made, the buttons, etc. The black satin lining is nice.

A quality costume
Got this for a Halloween costume. Also for my stage theater. This was a very good value decently well made with good pockets. Wore it in NYC Halloween 2021 and it was comfortable and warm enough but not suitable for really cold weather. Glad I bought it and will have many future uses.
