Love It.
No occasion. Just like the look. Spilled Ink on it before I even wore it. Dyed it black and bought a new one. Now I have two.

Comfortable for physical trades re-enacting
Living history day at a fort demonstrating log hewing. I was able to move comfortably. Although not strictly accurate for the early period, it was great fabric and design, well executed construction.

Frontiersman Shirt
I am buying one or two items a month in order to purchase a complete Pirate costume. Buying "piece-meal" affords me to purchase those quality and expensive articles that makes the overall costume a quality one. And buying through Historical Emporium provides me the most expansive selection compared to numerous other costume/clothing web sites. Thank you for your fantastic selection of vintage clothing items.

Well built and nice looking cotton work shirt!
Back in the 80s I used to do a lot of Civil War reenactments and had several shirts similar to these work shirts that I was able to get from the sutlers we would buy uniforms from. I always loved the way they fit and looked but had not been able to find since them. I found these, and ordered one, just to see the quality, and how they fit. Once it arrived, I was amazed, and happy. They look great with a vest, whether I am playing music, or riding my mule! I now have one of almost every color!

I ordered 3 different shirts and vest/ pants. All great quality. Clothes run true to size *however* - I am barrel chested. My neck size is a 2X but I needed a 3X to fit my chest. This would not be an issue for most folks so just a note in case it does matter to you.

You cannot go wrong with this shirt.
I am serious. It feels so good ( wash before wear ) that you just want to wear one every day. They are cool in another way. The stains that accumulate from a few small drops of stout may stick but the effect is an increase in the character or the shirt. I liked the first one so much that I bought two more. In this shirt, you can look diesel as hell or fop about on the town. Add a waistcoat though...for decorum's sake.

I brought the shirt for an event and it needed to dye the shirt yellow, so I dyed the shirt the color I needed. The fabric took well to the dying process and looks and fits fantastic.

Work shirt
I really like this style, its really comfortable. But be sure to order a size larger than what you normally wear, I wear a size 17 neck and when I received my order and tried it on, it felt a little tight in the chest area, I think it had something to do with the way the shirt is sewn at the bottom of the opening, it kind of bunches up a bit. I sent it back and got a size 18-18.5 and now it fits a lot better.

I have been particularly please with the Fundamental Work Shirt in slate blue. I am a demonstrating blacksmith at a colonial historic park and this shirt fits both me and its period perfectly. The color is very, very close to natural indigo and the fit moves well for active work. At this price I plan to acquire several more.

Just what Santa would want under his own tree!
This year, I decided to start looking into becoming Santa Claus. There are a lot of interesting articles of clothing available here that would add some unique twists to the standard Santa aesthetic, and I was inspired by the C. Kringle outfit that featured the Fundamental Work Shirt, but I liked the forest green color better. The loose fit allows me to wear the shirt over my body pad comfortably, and the color is a beautiful contrast to the red of my suit.

I work at a living history facility which means I have to do real trade work in historically appropriate clothes. This shirt was good, not superb but good. The stitching is alright, but the fabric is sheer enough to see through in bright light. It will do for light work.

As Pictured
I gave this shirt to my Beloved for his birthday along with pants, suspenders and some ties. He liked them very much and I did get him an XL…he is broad shouldered; I would suggest to size up for comfort. He usually wears a 17 1/2, 32 sleeve. Very handsome top. Washed in cold, air dried. Retained shape and colour very well.

Snug fit.
Shirt is a nice color. I ordered the 4x which is what I normally wear in a Scully shirt. This one fits much snugger than the Scully. If it shrinks at all will be too small. Will not order again.

Work shirt
A nice-looking shirt, somewhat short in the body length, but still just long enough. The pleating in the front which looks nice and gives the shirt a bit of style also makes the shirt smaller around the chest, that needs to be considered when ordering it. I will be wearing it to an historical event this coming Sunday and will be washing it and I hope that all things turn out well, too much shrinking would render the shirt useless. We will see.

I love this shirt for my more casual outings! I was a little worried about the slight puff to the sleeves, but once it arrived, I thought it was great. I wear Historical Emporium clothing as part of my regular ensemble and this shirt is great for more rugged canvas pants and a more casual waistcoat.

EXCELLENT
Recieved my order quickly and in fine shape. I wore it first to a "workin' folk" dinner. The shirt looked dashing. Then used it on the shooting range (Cowboy Action Shooting) and it functioned even better than it looked. Plenty of arm room and flexibility. Material is nice, not flimsy, the color is fast after washing, the fit is nice and the size to fit relationship is accurate. A excellent workin' mans shirt. I have a second in maroon. I might yet get another.

Good Shirts!
The Fundamental Work Shirt is a good fit. I'm 220 pounds, 5'9" tall, and the 2X fits well, except the sleeves are a little long, but not so long I need to send them back. The Essential Work Shirt Seems slightly fuller, and the fabric seems somewhat heavier, but the overall fit is close. Both types are relatively easy to get on and off, and seem nicely made. The shirts have a definite "night shirt" look to them, but they are comfortable and roomy. I tried them on with bluejeans, and khakis, and they look good--a combination modern/retro look. I expect some looks and comments when I go out in the world wearing these shirts. I fully expect to have to answer the question, "Where did you buy that shirt?" I will wear them alone or with my Woolrich wool vests, which looks great. If you want some casual shirts that are different, and will set you apart from the rest of the herd, give these shirts a try. You'll be the only cat in town with genuine manly puffy sleeves. If you can pull that off, you'll be a man, my son. (Sorry, couldn't help it. A little fun with Rudyard Kipling's poem, "If--.")

Not that it's a bad thing, but the cotton of this shirt is lighter than some of HE's other shirts, similar to the club collar shirt. It's still good quality and it's nice to have a lighter weight for hotter days or more layers. Just a good thing to know. The steel top button is cool.

Best Halloween Ever
I purchased the Victorian Men's Dress Shirt with the High Stand Collar in black for my steampunk Halloween costume. I paired it with the Crimson Commander's Vest for a factory forman/ engineer look. Following the sizing guide I was a bit nervous of the fit, being a Plus-sized gentleman. I was quite surprised to find the product properly enveloped me. For once I have an awesome costume that isn't being unduely stretched by my figure. Will Buy Again.

Nice, and Surprisingly Comfortable
What can be said about the functional simplicity of a white button up shirt, especially for period-accurate costumes? The shirt is high quality, the fit is nice as long as you take the time to take your measurements and order the appropriate size, and what was perhaps the most surprising aspect of this shirt: it's extremely comfortable. The shirt is 100% cotton and feels very, VERY, nice on the skin and is very breathable. Pairs well with sleeve garters and bowties as well. Overall, great!

I have bought Virgil Shirts in the past because they do have a left breast pocket and the overall look is very 1880's. It is big enough to wear as a night shirt as well. I had to unload previous shirts and trousers after I lost 200 pound since my last order three years back.

I am always wary of ordering clothes by mail or from the internet, but I needed a Victorian/Edwardian club-collared short, so I took a chance when I stumbled across The Gentleman's Emporium. To say the least, I'm glad I did.The shirt (of very high quality) fits perfectly (which isn't all that common as I lift weights four day/week). So why the "two perfect fits" title? Given this initial experience with the company, I'd say The Gentleman's Emporium is going to be an equally perfect fit for me. (Expect more orders.)

Found item not easy to find
Looked on many other sites for rounded collars and had little luck. Gentlemen's Emporium had a great selection and the sizing recommendations were accurate. It's a great shirt.

Peerfect Bib Shirt
This shirt was just what I needed. I ordered a Large that was too big, but then ordered a Medium that fit better. I was refunded the original purchase quickly. Thank you!

Comfort
Great shirt! Very comfortable and interesting color and style. I haven't washed it yet so I will be very careful with the shrinkage. I will wear it in a Circuit Rider one man show.

Bib shirt is great!
love this shirt. So different from style of typical contemporary stuff. Is cut very big so expect it to be loose. Good fabric. Snazzy!

Super Product!
As a competitive Chuck wagon cook, it is extremely important not only for be to be a good cook, but to also look the part. This shirt is one of several items of clothing I have purchased from Historical Emporium over the years. All are first quality, fit well and last a long time under rugged conditions.

Quality
Our grand daughter has chosen the theme of late Victorian for her wedding. Her colors are red and Gold. The first coat, shirt and pants that I ordered were too big and I needed to return them for the next smaller size. The exchange was accomplished within 5 days. A company rep. was very helpful when I called about the problem. The replacement garments are a good fit although I will need a small alteration to the vest because my middle is larger than my chest. Quality & workmanship of clothing is excellent and I expect that they will last for many years.... and Never go out of style. Thank you! I plan to order additional items in future.

Perfect for Dickens Caroling Group
After years of using modern tuxedo shirts, my Dickens caroling group decided to go with more authentic shirts to fit the Victorian period theme. This was exactly what we hoped for.

White High Stand Collar Victorian Mens Dress Shirt
While I have not wore the shirt yet, I am debating between this shirt or the White Pleated Dress Shirt to wear at an upcoming wedding.

Looks and feels authentic
I bought this shirt as part of my 1880's costume. It looks great and fits almost like tailor-made. The only thing "bad" I could say about it is that the fabric seems a little on the thin side, but this is really a very minor point.

Superb quality
Superb quality and exactly what I was looking for. Due to my short size I needed a large neck and chest size and this works perfectly. The sleve length was quite long however. I wish that there had been a sleeve length in same size 8 inches shorter. But, I have a Tailor that can take care of that. So, I couldn't be happier with this shirt. I may just get a couple more.

Looks and fits great.
I bought this for Mark Twain Days. Lots of people dress in 1860 attire for the event. I look like I just arrived out west during the Comstock Era.
