The Spencer coat is perfect for my Regency look that I need for the bicentennial celebration at our local historic cemetery. The fabric is fabulous!

The coat is not only lovely, but of a much heavier weight than expected. The fabric has a great feel. The corduroy is a much finer wale than I expected. I used the sizing chart and it fits, but I could have bought one size up from what I did. My suggestion would be to do that. Lovely item!

I ordered this to add to my Regency ensemble for a Jane Austen birthday celebration. The coat is well made and the clever zipper gives it two options - full length coat or short jacket. I sized up as suggested on the website, and the fit is perfect. Shipping was quicker than I expected. When I called to ask about shipping timelines, my call was quickly and thoroughly answered. I would definitely order from here again.

Beautifully made. Sleeves loose enough to be comfortable, but not baggy. Material feels like velvet and has a nice drape.

This tailcoat is so beautiful and so comfortable to wear I love it.

I plan on wearing the Tailcoat at this years Dickens on the Strand (Galveston, Texas). It will no doubt fit in well with the other Victorian era outfits at the event.

Looked great! Thick and well made. My only note is the coat wrinkled and you could see it if the person sat at all. Still. Great for carolers!

my orders arrived yesterday and again I am overwhelmed. The tailcoat is phantastic and fits perfectly. I am from Germany and it is not the first and not the last time I order here!!

Coat is very nice quality. Quick delivery. For future, I would like to see additional options on sleeve lengths for coat sizes. I had to get my sleeves shortened. Otherwise, very satisfied.

Really high quality. Used for a lice TV event

Great tailcoat for film production. Fit was spot on and very convenient to be able to order "off the rack."

Wow, this tailcoat is great. I'm a professional full time actor and I was hired to perform a historical play. A red tailcoat was required and I spent a good month visiting costume shops in person and online looking for one. Tried on many and they were almost always single layer, no lining, no pockets, poor quality and $300 and up. Saw this one and even though I could not try it on The price was too good to pass. It arrived quickly and as soon as I pulled it out of the box I was stunned by the quality. Thick quality tailcoat, two nice pockets inside and looks very historically accurate as opposed to the clownish bright red carnival circus type jackets that are offered at other costumers. I was really impressed, then I tried it on.....Too small! I ordered a large which would normally fit me, but this large seemed a bit smaller then what I'm used to. I sent it back and ordered the XL with NO PROBLEMS AT ALL! a quick and easy exchange and the new one fit like a charm! I had not enough time to do a return/exchange so I just bought an xl and mailed back the L and it all worked out well. A few days after they received my L I got my refund. I definitely recommend this jacket. Large fits slightly smaller then standard sizes Is darker in color then it appears on the website. expedited shipping is FAST! Looks great with the Penworth ascot and a proper full sized top hat!

Love this tailcoat! Quality construction, definitely better than "costume quality." Taking off a star for the color: the picture is a bit misleading, because it is actually a very dark burgundy, and there's not as much contrast between the red and the black velvet trim.

The coat was just what my son wanted and it really looked good on him. I am sure that we will be buying things from here again

I am 5'11", 250-255 lbs. I ordered a XXL and the fit is great! USPS lost my first order and I contacted H.E. Customer service . The are amazing. Thank you so much.

We ordered this, and a vest, for a Halloween Costume. The Tailcoat was in NC from CA, within 3 days, and the Vest, which was special order was here ahead of schedule. I needed support for figuring out sizing, as my husband didn't exactly fit the sizing guide. Both items fit perfectly. I was very pleased and will probably order again in the future.

I attended my first regency event and this coat was perfect! I got the M size first which was a little too big so I sent it back and ordered the S which was just right. Shipping is fast and product is good!

This is a beauty. Perfect fit, light enough for summer wear, and warm enough for cool fall tours. And as with all Emporium items, the coat makes you stand prouder and taller because you want to show it off to its fullest potential!

The tailcoat I Purchased is top quality and fit perfect.

This garment exceeded my expectations. The tailoring is to a high standard and the innovation of using black denim for the shell fabric keeps the total cost at a terrific price point.

Jacket was an excellent fit for the shoulders and chest just had to adjust length of coat and sleeves, due to being short. I normally wear a medium but after reading reviews I bought a small and very glad I did

Numerous positive compliments when I wore this to the Fizziweg (young Scrooge's former boss) Ball. Perfect for "Regency" period attire or creating that "Mr. Darcy" look. Paired with a red Buckingham vest. Large is equivalent to a size 44. Excellent fit and drape. Wore again to the Snowball the following weekend. After wearing one more time will beat the cost of renting locally an item from the wrong period.

My husband is 5'4' and slim; usually wears slim-fit suits. We went by your size chart and ordered a medium, but it was huge on him, so we exchanged it for a small, your smallest men's size in this coat. It's still loose on him, but since there is no smaller size, we are keeping it and heading out to our trusty tailor to shorten the sleeves and take in the back and shoulders. It will look quite stunning on him when all is done!

nicely made with period features. The fit was as discribed.

Worth every penny! Got so many compliments during the bridgerton experience!

An absolutely delightful coat, very well made, and good fit. The tails go down to the back of the knees on me -- 5'7" female in an XL. Sleeves are a little long, but expected for the time period.

I am not the usual skinny person who can buy a medium or large of anything and have it fit them. I've had some trial and error trying to find a tailcoat for a vampire event. I ordered using the size chart based on my shoulder and chest size and the jacket fits perfectly. Very happy with the fit as well as the quality.

A beautiful, well made piece that I expect to have for years to come. It's the final part of my "Regency Tuxedo" and fits quite well with the black Drop Front Pants and red Cavalier Vest that I had purchased previously.

This coat is for a production of Pride and Prejudice for the character of Mr. Darcy. It makes him look very elegant!

This coat arrived in the mail after an incredibly long wait, and found it a little bit of a letdown. The sleeves are huge, so long that my hands got lost in them and I had to have them taken up (which cost extra money). This is normal for me with coats and trousers but these were even longer than usual. The collar and sleeves definitely aren't velvet. They don't have any two-tone shine to them. It's morel like a suede or felty material that just eats up dust and lint. One of the lapels wasn't folded right, it stuck out awkwardly and I had to iron it into shape to match the other side. All of these take at least a star off, as it's a bit of a fixer upper, more so than usual. Apart from that though, it's alright. It has a very nice look, it's ornate and incredibly dapper. The inside pockets are nice to have, even if they're pretty small. I think the normal black one would do just as well. There is no velvet in this whatsoever.

I usually feel that the coats I order from HE are just ok. This one is absolutely beautiful. Really nice texture to the fabric, sleek, and well made.

Much better quality and fit than I expected. What a nice surprise!

This is a gorgeous coat! The quality is perfect along with the design and touches of velvet throughout. Historical Emporium was also so very speedy in getting the delivery to us. We will definitely be using them again!
