like everything I have purchased here, the quality was great and the shirt was a perfect fit.

Great looking shirt! Nice quality and fit. I will be ordering other shirts for sure. Received 2 days after ordering.

love the shirt both shirts have sleeves that are long enough there great

Shirt is decent material, looks great and feels even better!

Perfect fit, excellent service and delivered on time. Nice job!

The Order arrived in a timely fashion. Was a little disappointed that the shirt was only available in a "Pullover" Style and not available in a solid white. Was VERY disappointed that the shirt was "MADE IN CHINA". The quality of workmanship was not as a shirt costing $60 should be.

While this shirt arrived promptly, we did not care for the material or pattern of the shirt. The style was just what we wanted, the fabric did not work for us.

I like the pattern of the shirt, cut and fit. Only negative issue is the material is very thin and is a little see through it’s to lite weight. Should be made of a little heavier material.

It's a fine shirt. Very well made and touch of class.

Considering that I am tall and a medium build I was concerned about the length of the sleeves and the tail but it was perfect and authentic. Was very pleased.

“My husband wanted a "different" Western dress shirt for a wedding we're attending. This shirt is very nice, especially for the price. Great detail, nice material, good fit. As other reviewers have mentioned, it is slightly "blousy", but then so is my husband, so it's perfect!!

Ordered the Doc Stripe Shirt and it was delivered very fast and was exactly what they advertised. No human interface, but having said that, the customer service was excellent.

Better than it looks in the photo. Great fit and feels good when wearing. Superb quality for the price. Goes perfectly with the rest if the outfit.

The Doc is a BEAUTIFUL shirt that perfectly complements my tuxedo. In fact, I will be getting married in the shirt the day after tomorrow. Thank you, Gentleman's Emporium for having such amazing products and excellent, timely customer service.

The fit is spot on. Great quality. I'll be buying more from them

Great Fit and quality. Very comfortable.

Top quality. Very pleased

Hello: I must tell you I was really surprised at the quality of the shirt and it fitted like it was tailored for me. The measurements were spot on. It is a beautiful shirt, and true to a clothing pattern back in the 1880's. I am truly pleased and will buy from your company again in the near future. Thanks,

This shirt arrived really quickly to me in the U.K. A nice style and very comfortable to wear, attracted good comments from family and friends alike, as commented by another customer review you probably couldn't get away with wearing a tie due to the collar size but that personally causes me no issues,overall very pleased with my purchase and I hope the reverse style 'Earp Shirt' is soon available in my size.

Officially my favorite shirt! Beautiful!

This is my favorite shirt and it is a unique one. I''ve received more comments on this shirt than any. It is a good Sunday church shirt as well as a dinner on Saturday night shirt. It is also a head turner in restaurants. Beautiful shirt.

I wore this shirt to work the other day and got compliments on it. I'm a little overweight, so it's good to have a shirt that won't come untucked. Plus, I like the style.

This is a very nice looking shirt. Very classy. I also have the white on black version of this shirt as well. You'll look very sharp wearing this Bad Boy. The only regret I have with this shirt is how thin the material is.

I would normally wear XL to get the neck closure but wear L if I didn't need the collar to be fastened. These shirts are generously cut (but not too big) so I can get a great fitting shirt in size L that still buttons up at the neck comfortably. Good quality as well.

I am replacing the first one I got. Had it for 5 yrs and wore it quite often. I actually wore it out. So I figured I needed to replace it, before they stop making it. Great shirt.

The shirt was purchased for a film shoot, yes I am an Actor and have been in several films and CMT Videos. The size was as expected and appearance was high quality.

The fabric pattern looks attractive and authentic. The background color is arctic white, which is a hard color for most people to wear and is not really authentic for the period. The shirt features a left breast pocket. To the best of my knowledge, shirts from the late 1800s did not have pockets. I returned the shirt because the collar is about one-half inch too short in height to wear any sort of cravat or neck-tie with. Even with the narrow band on the "Satin-Puff" necktie, the collar does not look right or work well on a dress shirt. I could live with the bright white color--but not the short collar.

Had to wait until my size was in stock, didn't care for that too much. Shirt arrived in fine condition and am now more than pleased. I will be wearing it tomorrow under a Calvin Klein two piece charcoal suit. It will look smashing. Historical needs to calculate for millennial customers in terms of stocking tall sizes. You have fans that are not short, burly or over 60 Altogether a solid four

A little tight in the neck compared to the others i bought that were the same size, same manufacturer. May want to up a size if concerns.

The shirts came right away and the overall quality is very good. My only issue is with the pockets on the right chest. Your picture does not show pockets and a pocket does not belong on an 18th Century shirt. I would try to remove the pockets, but I feel sure the needle holes would show. I am a demonstrating 18th Century blacksmith, and I really like my shirts to look correct as to period.

Great shirt. Quality material and well made. Plan on buying another. Numerous uses for this shirt.

Exactly what my husband was looking for. Thick cotton, generously cut (we ordered an XL and he most usually wears an XXL. Great quality, fast shipment.

a true bit of the past! I love this shirt. I have received many complements on it.

This was exactly what I wanted. Came on time When I needed to wear them. Great service Thanks

Now this is a great quality shirt with a lot of unique qualities! The fabric is very thick and heavy. A thick off white/beige linen look. Looks great tucked in or left out. If you leave the shirt out, it is a bit long but I'm sure a tailor at any dry cleaners can take the hem up a couple of inches if desired. Really great look if you like this style. Shirt looks like it can last a lifetime and goes will with jeans and boots. Good purchase, well worth the price!

For the purposes of daily wear, this is one of the best shirts to buy from the emporium. It works well with any work vest, and I have only received compliments whenever I've work it. The shirt is comfortable and easy to wash. This definitely belongs in a worker's wardrobe. I bought two!

Great product.

Bought one almost 20 years ago and been looking for it ever since. Love the design and material, comfortable fit. 2XL being available is a bonus hard to find big&Tall sometimes.

Product is just as advertised

Excellent quality! Your clothing is very well made and made of quality materials. I think the prices are great for the quality of the products as well.

This is the best quality, best looking period shirt I've seen. I love to dress up in costume at every chance I get and when I do, I want the cloths I wear to be spot on and this shirt is a 10! I love shopping here!

I ordered the Laborers Shirt because of its unique design and casual look, and was glad I did. The down-to-earth unbleached muslin nevertheless has good body to it and a soft homespun feel. The cut, with its open neck and added fullness in the lower sleeve would give an artisan or craftsman an ease of movement required to complete his tasks, but I like it just as well to sit around and relax in.

Wore this the day it arrived...it's comfortable, stylish, and fits well. I haven't washed it yet, obviously, but the page says line-dry, so I assume it will wash just fine...either way, a fine purchase!

An excellent shirt. Makes me wanna start working on the railroad. Well, almost.

This shirt was just as described. I'm impressed by the quality and it really looks great. I'll be happy to wear it. The fit is larger than I thought it would be compared to what my normal shirts are but it's nothing to complain about. Just make sure you get the measurement and don't order the same as you would a modern one.

I finally found a shirt I have been looking for awhile. My wife and I are looking for an opportunity for me to wear this soon! Great addition to a men's wardrobe.

I had looked at wing tip shirts at our local mall and found a couple to choose from but the fit was not what was needed. These shirts buttoned completely down the front and did not give the look I wanted. The shirt from Historical Emporium is a mock button up (actually a pull-over) and as such is cut fuller than a modern shirt. The material used is better than the average dress shirt but not of the finest quality. The wing tip collar is not as pronounced as the shirts I found at the mall but does look good with the tie I selected for my costume. The fullness of the body is easily hidden by wearing a vest over the shirt. Overall, this is an excellent choice and I feel you will be pleased with your purchase.

Took the advice of other reviewers to opt for one size smaller than my husband normally wears and the shirt fits beautifully! Fits as if it was tailored for him. Quality clothing, not just a costume.

I recently ordered a jacket and could not find my dress shirt that was to be worn at our daughter's wedding. I ordered he shirt and requested a 'quick ship' to ensure the shirt would arrive in time for the BIG EVENT. The shirt was shipped amazingly fast and arrive in plenty of time for the wedding. A beautiful shirt, well designed and manufactured. Great job Historic Emporium!!!

I am a bigger guy, and made sure to order a size to big in order to have some comfort room, i orered a 4x wight tee, the collar is extremely to big. i am forced to have it altered.

Much better looking and more to the period for our daughters wedding. We originally was just looking at a generic tux shirt, but this one is the way to go especially when you add the suspenders...husband looks...Hubba Hubba!

Nicely made with high quality materials. Looks great. I could step out of the time machine in 1906 and blend right in!

Great shirts! Fit well, quickly delivered. I will get some more!

Looked smart and classic with the costume. Thank you.

I recently ordered a number of items from GE. Most were absolutely excellent, whereas this item was merely average in terms of quality of construction. Still, I would recommend this product to friends.

What more can be said than terrific!

I love this shirt even more than the Dress shirt I purchased previously. Fits perfectly and looks so stylish with my vest and silk tie. I love the clothes from this site. There's nothing like THIS in Australia.

Very historical accurate!!

No nonsense, perfect fitting, awesome shirt!

Great shirt... after modifying it with rear collar button to accept a separate collar (as pictured on the web site, though the use of pinning the collar on it for the picture). Next time, advertise items as they REALLY are shipped! [editor's note: this item is not pictured with a separate detachable collar. The shirt ships as shown.]

Generally pleased with it. Well constructed, quality shirt. For me, collar too large for sleeve length. Would but more if you had tall thin sizes. I've adjusted the collar down to a 16 1/2, and adjusted the detachable collars I purchased so that they fit.

The shirt is beautiful It is very well made and was packaged beautifully. I am very pleased.

Beautiful shirt! For anyone who finds themselves in the same situation I found myself in... I am right between a 'Large' and a 'Medium' on their sizing charts. Tried both and ended up keeping the Medium. But in the end, the shirt and the service are wonderful.

Nice looking lightweight shirt which wears well even during hot summer days in the south. Craftsmanship and material quality are wonderful. With the addition of a small 2-hole button on the collar loop this shirt adapts nicely to the add-on collars, which provides a lot of different looks from one shirt. A distinctive styleed shirt that goes with everything. This is a good choice to keep in your wardrobe.

Like the shirt very much, wish cuffs would accommodate cuff links.

Purchased a Medium. My usual size is 38-40. Shirt is great but still a bit large for a 38 size. too wide especially in the waist area. Don't know if size Small would be any slimmer in the waist since this is most likely a traditional 'period' style shirt (wider and voluminous). Happy with the Medium size. Great fabric and style. Comfortable. Consider it a good buy.

I purchased this shirt at the same time as the gambler shirt. They are essentially the same shirt. One has the pleats sewn down, the other does not. One has a loop at the back neck to hold a tie, the other does not. They are both bibfront designs. Only the wearer would know the difference. I sewed buttons onto the back of the necks to use detachable collars. Since the fronts close with a stud, this works quite well. The style and cut are quite proper and ample.

This shirt was a great choice. Good price and exce

Workmanship is very good stitching-wise. although the buttons have a tendency to fall off in the washing mashine. The shirt is not pre-shrunk so I suggest choosing a relatively large fit. I dyed mine a stunning red, it turns heads!

High quality garment; very pleased. Runs a little large, but workable. Will be back for some of the other offerings.

Fit's well. Feels great! Very Happy with my purchase.

I measured my neck at 17.5” and ordered the XL. I found the actual neck measurement when it arrived to be over 18.5”. I contacted historicalemporium and they actually measured a large for me and were very helpful in the exchange process. I recommend measuring the neck and shoulder width of a shirt you own and asking them to take the same measurements on the shirt you want to order.

I love the style of this shirt; the side-button flap has a little bit of a bib front feel without looking full-on Cavalry, and the material is a rough-hewn natural feel that can be casual or dressed up a bit with a vest. Sizing was difficult for me because I have dress shirts in neck sizes from 17.5-18.5 and so I bought the XL. It was too big; because the cut in the body was larger the sleeves fell further down my shoulders. I bought the L and it fit perfectly. The sleeve length is the same for both sizes, so I ended up buying both to try them on side by side.

Runs true to size and looks great!

I just love this shirt! When I saw it I knew that I had to have it! It looks great on!

Excellent quality

Really good quality. Exactly what I wanted. It was on the large side for a size "L", so I have returned it for a size "M". So far the exchange process has been smooth. Just waiting to get the new one.

We love it, it fits very well and is the look we were striving for as my Groom!

This shirt is of high quality fabric. The fit was true to size and looks sharp.

Comfortable fit. And nicely unusual.

I love the look and the design of the shirt, even though I had to order a smaller size, but that was good for me and it fits perfect!!! It's on the money!!! Boy From Brooklyn

I have this shirt in ivory and black. I never fail to get multiple compliments when i wear one of them. Great feel and texture. Dress up or down. Looks great.

I have purchased several shirts through Historical Emporium and so I have a good idea what should fit... I take a Medium... but in this case, the Med fit perfectly everywhere... except the collar. The collar was so tight I could barely button it... and could not breath when I did. I ended up sending this shirt back. Since the rest of the shirt fit... there was not the option of going up a size, because then the collar might fit, but the rest of the shirt would have been huge on me. But this is the first time I have had this issue. Other than the issue with the size of the buttoned collar, it was a very nice shirt. (If I had not needed to button the collar, I would have kept the shirt)

Every detail is authentic and truly appreciated! Good fit, quality material, and comfortable.

This shirt was true to size and appears to be well made. It is a very light weight cotton and my experience with shirts made in India is that they tend to shrink quite a bit due to the looser weave generally used there. However, I washed it in cold water and dried on low heat and experienced very little if any shrinkage but would advise care in washing. I received many compliments on wearing it at our local homesteaders museum opening day. Probably worth five stars but haven't had it long enough to do that yet.

Lovely comfortable shirt. Well made too.

Good quality shirt.

This shirt is very well made, and is of a fine fabric that drapes beautifully, washes well, and air-dries without too many wrinkles. My husband loves it, and wears it as often as he can!

It is difficult finding summer shirts that convey the look you want without roasting you in your own juices. This is the shirt!

This is an excellent shirt. It fits wonderfully, and arrived just when it was predicted to arrive. My only caveat to other buyers is to wash it by hand for at least the first time, as the dye runs a bit, and you wouldn't want the entire laundry load to turn pink!

Nice quality and gorgeous color, but the puffy sleeves might be a bit much for many guys. i wear the shirt with suspenders, which helps the look.

This shirt is absolutely great! I was needing a western villain costume to wear for our church's Vacation Bible School, but I was having a hard time finding something authentic since I'm a very large man. This shirt shipped fast, fits great, and really looks the part!!

This shirt is well made and fits perfectly. A great addition to my SASS outfit.

Very satisfied with quality and workmanship of product.

Quality is good and I like the subtle paisley. The collar is smaller than other shirts of the same size from HE, and doesn't measure the size advertized, reason for losing a star. Otherwise it's a great shirt.

The thicker fabric makes this feels incredibly luxurious. The detailing on the front gives it the perfect touch of flair without being over the top. After taking it in I added on antique buttons and now it's my favorite shirt.

what more can I say?

I wear these clothes every day, and this is a new favorite. The weather is getting warm, and the material is rather heavy so we shall see. Perfect fit for the size, and very comfortable. All in all this is the level of quality I expect from The Emporium!

Another great purchase from the historical emporium. The fit works very well with my frame, and I have received numerous compliments. It would be nice if the manufacturer could release this style in more colors.

A great shirt in look at feel! It's well made and the design is unique.

I am very happy with the quality and fit of the Lamar work shirt. I will peruse your site often. RJ

This shirt is twice as nice as I expected. Wore it while traveling for comfort, but received so many compliments I decided to wear it in more formal meetings. It was well received. Comfortable, well built, a great look. I give this shirt an A+!

This shirt was my Christmas present for myself. I know, a bit selfish! But it was well worth it! It feels good, looks good, and is worth every dollar! Merry Christmas to me!

Shipping was very fast. Fit, finish, and sizing of this product is excellent. Historically very appropriate for last quarter of the 19th Century. A little fancy for a work shirt but perhaps a "go to meeting" shirt. I like it. I have purchased clothing from Historical Emporium, for years, to do historic shooting with Single Action Shooting Society and National Congress of Old West Ssootists. I have yet to be diappointed. I have only praise for everything I have purchased and for Historical Emporium. You will not go wrong with this company.

I recieved this shirt faster than expected. I have checked it over very well and it is of fine quality. I tried it on and the fit is excellent. I have yet to wear it, but if the multitude of olther clothing from Historical Emporium is any indication, I am sure it will wear well and I will be very pleased.

I work in the blacksmith shop at Historic Camden Park in Camden, SC and so I own several Early American type work shirts. The shirts I have from Historical Emporium are my "go to" shirts. They are well made, rugged and great to work in. The Lamar Work shirt in Burgundy is my fifth and most recent purchase and I get compliments on it each time I wear it. For the money, I don't think you can beat these shirts.

I have bought four shirts off this site. Everyone has been of high quality. This shirt once again is superb, a little heavier than a cotton shirt but soft. The design on the front is subtle and is a great splash of design. Sturdy built I wear this as an everyday. This place does not sell cheap stuff. I wear all my shirts and none have developed problems.

This shirt is built from what feels to be some sturdy material. I expect that I will be able to get moderate use from this shirt over several years. If I am wrong about this shirt and it does not hold up to moderate use, I will be back to update this review.

This is a top quality shirt and the fit is great. I plan on purchasing more of them. It is a very comfortable shirt to wear.

Really nice shirt fits well & feels good cotton is not scratcy next to your skin . My 12 year old grand daughter gave it a 2 thumbs up rating & in my kind it can not be rated higher than that . I wear what I buy as every day clothes so fit & comfort along with looks matter to me .I will probably buy a few more for every day casual wear

They may call it a work shirt, but it looks good enough for leisure wear as well. The fabric seems to be sturdy and durable enough to qualify as a work shirt. It will receive a bit of rough wear over the next few months, and I anticipate it will retain its good looks.

Perfect colour and nice fit.

My husband is extremely pleased with this shirt. It was originally bought for a costume but he's now planning to order at least one more for regular wear. The fabric is a very nice weight and quality and I am impressed with the construction and quality of the seams. The colour is a perfect deep burgundy.

OK, so I am new to Cowboy Action Shooting, and dressing the part. The thing is, I,m not really a great shot, SLOW, but DAM, do I look good in this shirt, and it,s always MIND OVER MATTER, I don't mind being slow, and it just dosent matter. Great product, great fit, thanks so much. BUTCHER CREEK BOB.
