Needed a Victorian shirt for my husband, this fit great, felt nice, and had an accurate look. Also allowed for cufflinks. Very happy.

Transforms 21st century man into Regency Ball date. Highly recommend.

fits and looks great!

I absolutely love this shirt. The collar height is perfect. I habitually dress Victorian and Historical Emporium clothing is a staple of my wardrobe. This shirt is the perfect addition to my dress shirt rotation.

This is a very well-made shirt which looks great and authentic.

Well made, nice fit and comfortable. Works well with any neck wear from puff tie to cravat and with several historical periods. Will be ordering more.

Perfect fit for my husband. Ordered by measurement, yay! Material not as stiff as expected though, was very comfortable and looked great with his vest!

I never thought I would like a high collared shirt never mind a white one. But this shirt is very comfortable and actually looks nice with the vest and tie.

I bought one waistcoat on here I didn't realize needed a high stand collar shirt. With the customer service help, I was offered a variety of shirts and now I look as dazzling as ever.

Absolutely perfect !!! Thank you !!!

Great quality cotton shirt pullover with buttons half way down chest and gathered back. Putting it on transforms you into an old time shopkeeper or gambler. The XL was very roomy. I usually wear a 34 sleeve and 17 neck. Neck was comfortable but I probably could have gone with a large. Was long too so plenty to tuck in. Well worth the cost for its authentic build. With the unique collar, a regular dress shirt cannot compare.

Very nice, good quality.

The shirt was a little blousey, but that’s how they were back then.

Outstanding detail!

Like everything I have gotten from Historical Emporium, this is a great addition to my Victorian wardrobe. It is comfortable and has the 'look' I was after.

I have been looking to upgrade some of my Steampunk gear. I've done it piece-by-piece and one of the last ones were black shirts. Now that I have these, I think what I have for this character is pretty good. I still need to accessorize more, but this means my basic gear and garments are set.

Want to feel like a fancy Victorian man of status. Then this is the shirt for you, especially when accompanied by a puff tie or ribbon tie you can feel confident you'll look amazing!

I'm sensitive to fabric textures, and this shirt (stolen from husband and altered) is my go-to. It's a lovely high quality, has stood up to 6 years of washes so far with very little fading and no pilling at all.

I have three of these in White and decided to get one in Black! No Disappointment! Add a Puff Tie or Ascot (I have several) in a bright color. Never disappointed with the Emporium Stores!

Perfect.

For Steampunk Carnival Ball. Picked and chose among the offerings.

Totally satisfied. This was the fourth item I purchased, that should speak for itself.

I love this shirt! Pricey but I'm glad that I purchased it. The quality is excellent. I received it promptly. I have bought from Historical Emporium in the past and will do so again. Check out their Homberg Hats.

This shirt is great, versatile and comfortable. There is but one very minor issue with this shirt, from my standpoint anyway, cannot wear cufflinks with this shirt. It fits well and looks good in all respects. I would easily recommend this shirt to others.

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.

I have been impressed with the 2 shirts that I have purchased , I use them as everyday wear and they are now part of my corporate wardrobe... I'll be back

The shirt arrived within three days of ordering! The fit was fantastic and comfortable. I have been looking for a site that provides quality and I've found it. I would recommend Historical Emporium to any and all, and will be purchasing goods from them in the near future.

I love it and thanks so much for bring me this product.

I like it. It fit just right. The quality was better than expected.

I give mixed reviews on the Viceroy shirt. I paid $94 to have it delivered. It is a comfortable cotton shirt but that's where the complements end. The sleeves were 38" long - I needed 32". You would think for that price they would have better options for an XL shirt.

Very nice shirt!!

The shirt was of a very high quality Material. It was very comfortable to wear ans ease to clean. I am so glad I found your Web Site, I have passed it on to our other Docents at the Allen County Museum, In Lima, Ohio. Thank you for your prompt deliver of my items.

Great high collar shirt.

This shirt works perfectly with my Victorian costume for Community Theatre.

The size of historically cut shirts can be tricky, as the HE site does say, but it means that I have to get the sleeves shortened to fit me before I wear this. The cloth is lovely quality, and it looks great with the black stock.

I love the material and style of the shirt. Packaging was great and felt adequate (perhaps better) to protect the item from anything that fate would throw at it. I especially love the fluted chest fabric, as it looks very dashing.

I ordered this for my son who was in a school play that required Edwardian costuming. The shirt was very authentic and looked fantastic with the rest of the outfit that was also ordered from Historical Emporium.

I am using this shirt for a production. It is perfect

Very nice shirt

Perfect. Well made. Entirely satisfied.

My husband has worn this shirt twice since its arrival. He looks so very handsome. The shirt was created with such care and detail. It will last him for many, many for reenactments. Thank you!

Excellent item and just what was needed for our Pride and Prejudice production.

The shirt looks exactly like I needed it to, but the fabric is a bit thin. The actor doesn't mind, though - keeps him cooler.

Great shirt

Very nice looking and comfortable shirt that is well made in a good quality cotton. Size is a bit bigger than expected, but after a cold wash and a tumble dry it shrunk to a perfect fit.

This is not a cheap replica or tuxedo shirt. It's high quality fabric and craftsmanship. Very please worth the extra money

I am into Steampunk, and this is the conclusion of attire I needed in its creation. I had several other shirts that just couldn't fit the bill for various different reasons. When I put the shirt on with my other clothes and then finally the face mask I created, the shirt gave an added debonair look that made me say only one thing. "EXCELSIOR!!"

Loved the fit and the style and the %100 washed cotton. Exactly what I wanted.

I wear weird old fashioned clothing like this on a daily basis. It's just who I am, so I was very excited to finally be able to add this shirt to my collection. But anyway, this shirt is wonderfully made. It very lightweight and breathable and feels nice on the skin. I have no complaints.

This shirt fits true to the sizing guide and is extremely comfortable.

I needed a shirt like this with a nice crisp high collar to cement my outfit for a Victorian era party. Its a pullover, with a quarter button up. Don't worry about fumbling around with the button holes because they are perfect. Throw a cravat around you're neck and you'll look like you stepped straight out of the late 1800's. The cuffs are also pretty rigid. The sleeves run a little long but you can throw some sleeve garters on to really take things up a notch.

This is one of the best shirts I have purchased in over 20 years . I have been looking for this style shirt for a long time. Well made and crafted. Thank you

I love this shirt, it is all I had hoped for. The fit is right and very comfortable.

Love the shirt, the fit is great and the look is exactly what I wanted. I found out at the cleaners that it needs to be dry cleaned because it does not open up in front and can't fit on the ironing device they use. So it costs a little more to get cleaned. No biggie but something to consider I suppose.

A very breathable shirt with a great true fit. Went great with the Ascot.

Wonderful, great-fit shirt--promptly sent. Exceeds quality of similar shirts of other period clothing vendors.

quick service, excellent quality, and the fit was perfect

Had to period-match a suit on short notice, and Historical Emporium came through big time! Shipping was very fast, and I was very satisfied with the quality of the garment. Thank you!

Recommend this shirt, very smart

Very good quality textile. Crafted as well as any modern-made shirt. It should last a long time. Because of the full-cut, I will need to have the sleeves shortened, but that was expected.

This is a well made shirt which fits my actor perfectly. He is the lead in Bunbury.

Surprised by excellent quality!

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

Not one thing wrong with this shirt! Perfect Fit... Perfect look! Wearing it to work today, and am getting a lot of compliments! My new favorite shirt until my next order arrives!

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.

Comfortable, easy to move in, and I didn't have any issues with sizing. It does take a bit of work to get the puffs in the sleeves to spread out.

Love the shirt, hate the sizing! Order at least a size larger!

I actually purchased this shirt as a piece for a Prince costume as it very closely resembled the shirt he wore in Purple Rain..... there are some minute differences but it was not originally designed for that purpose so that's ok. Under purple trench coat, it fits the look perfectly! Very happy with it.

Historical Emporium is our go-to resource whenever we need well made, period appropriate costumes for our local theater company. Unlike most online resources, if I submit a 'special instruction' note upon ordering, someone actually reads it and responds with an answer immediately! They have shipped immediately when the item is in stock, have offered great options when there are challenges but always delivered on whatever solution that is agreed. The product quality is superb - worth the price since they wash, wear and last well. We bought the Bard shirt for our tall, long armed Shakespearean actor (who happens to be my son!) and their sizing and descriptions are actually accurate - this in NOT the case with other suppliers! It came as quickly as I needed it - and as promised and was so fantastic, we actually bought another that likewise arrived quickly enough for use during the show run. Terrific! We are very satisfied customers and recommend them highly.

Wore for a special retirement, part of which tied into the Seinfeld puffy shirt episode. Was raved over. The size xl sleeves managed to cover my arms, but would have preferred a long or tall xl.

When this shirt arrived the first thing i noticed was how soft the fabric was . Once i wore out to a halloween event and felt how good it was on my body i thought how outstanding it really is i wore it with my velvet collar mourning coat black white spat boots and my nobleman's cane and stood out i can recommend how comfortable this shirt is you must not wear a vest/waist coat with ito though as it will hide the overall beauty and fine craftsmanship/tailoring of the shirt unless you wear a open vest Once more a wonderful item from this company with fast shipping

I my gosh, material was soft and comfortable, very nice, If I had any decision in manufacturing of shirt The only thing is that you have to keep adjusting The elastic in the arms, cause they keep trying To cut off circulation, not good, but all in all shirt was the bomb. Good day

Quality and fit were awesome. Looks great on.

I'm giving my recent purchase of the Bard Shirt 5 stars. It's the best quality and most authentic version i've seen and have been looking for quite some time. I'm so happy with my purchase and price was more than fair and it was shipped immediately. I will absolutely be referring this site to others as well as will be shopping here again and often. Thank you.

I was very pleased with the shirt as a whole but the big draw back was the neck was not big enough. On an XL or 2 XLR shirt the neck size should be bigger. I'm going to have to take it to be adjusted by a tailor.

I ordered the wrong size send back no problem

It is terrific ! My husband cant wait to wear it at a steampunk wedding.

Beautiful blouse, fits so good! Great fabric and workmanship. The only cons is pricky material used in shoulder wings which hold puff sleeves. If the makers would manage turn the ends of the netting they used there not to the human size, but to the top side of the sleeve, the blouse would be perfect. I solved the problem adding extra fabric layer over pricky piece and it worked.

The blue blouse fits perfectly. Very well made. Beautiful. Thanks so much.

So we'll made. Perfect for our Mrs Darling in Peter Pan.

This was exactly what I was looking for. Wearable cotton/poly blend will work with several different costumes!

Purchased this blouse to go with a Black Satin skirt and hat also purchased from this company. Absolutely fabulous. Our church had an Old Time Days. What a perfect outfit.

I love the blouse. I love the color and the addition of small pleats across front. It wears well and looks lovely. My only concern is when comparing it to my other, same sized blouse purchased from you, this one is not as roomy across the bust line. I imagine the addition of the pleats gathered some of the looseness found in other style.

I have a white blouse from this company in size medium that fits perfectly. I ordered this one in medium as well but it runs larger. If I'd tried it on, I would probably have purchased a small. Also I didn't care for the white trim at the cuffs and collar so I removed it. The blouse is of excellent weight material and well finished and made.

Lovely blouse. Obviously very well made. Thank you!!

The blouse is a lovely fabric with elegant lace trim very comfortable to wear. As I like to wear my blouse over my skirt, a tapering design at the back, might have been an added feature enabling it to be worn inside or out side the skirt giving more costume options. There are two features that I would have liked: 1. another button in the collar to hold the collar more correctly 2. better button placement in the breast area so it doesn't open at the bra! Other than those comments, I feel it to be a good period blouse suited to many outfits.

I love this blouse! It is better made than most of the clothes you see these days - and the result is absolutely beautiful. I bought a really large size (2xl) because I have fairly large "girls" and figured I could shrink it if it was over the top (100% good cotton), and that's exactly what I did. The sleeves were still a little long so, unfortunately, even though they are sooooo pretty, I cuffed them. That works fine and it is still something to treasure. So if you don't want to shrink yours, be sure to use cold water and line dry! I love this so much and since we are taking our show on the road next year, I will buying 1 or 2 more for backup.

The neck is a bit loose but otherwise it's very nice

This is such a beautiful blouse. Went great with my skirt. I put a very old horses head pin on the collar and it looked super!! Very authentic to the time period!

This is a pretty blouse and I actually ordered it first, and returned it, from another company. The problem, imo, is that the base color has a slight yellowish cast to it when compared to the lace material, which is more ecru. Normally I am not fussy, but yellow is not a good color on me. Nonetheless, I kept it since the problem appears to occur across varying suppliers.

I found this blouse to be beautifully made from quality products. The fit around was just perfect, but have to say that the sleeves were far too long! Still, I am really pleased with it and will be wearing this regularly.

This blouse was well made and looked like the genuine item. It washed and wore well on the day and won me a bottle of French Champagne for my (very little) effort. Thanks Historical Emporium.

The blouse is lovely but the sleeves are too long and the cuffs cover my hands. The blouse fits with the exception of the sleeves.

I bought this to wear to a Civil War reenactment. It is absolutely perfect! I handmade a skirt and jacket, and bought the blouse to go under the jacket. It is so pretty and authentic that I will be able to wear it with just the skirt and look just as good!

Looking for a modest and pretty blouse for my Dickens Faire outfit. This blouse was perfect and so well made, the quality is excellent!

Very nice blouse. I'm typically between a Medium and a Large. I ordered a Large to avoid any chance of the buttons pulling at the breast-line (my problem area). The Large is probably a bit larger than I needed, but nothing a good hot wash and a hot dry couldn't fix. Love the blouse. Great quality.

I have a picture of my great grandmother playing baseball in a park in the early 1900s, and she's wearing a blouse that looks exactly like this. I love the quality and attention to detail.

Very happy with this blouse. Goes perfect with my 8 panel skirt of this period. I will have to modify the cuffs and tighten them up because I ordered a larger size than I probably should have. Quality and style is perfect.

The Craftsmanship is excellent, I'm very impressed with the material and quality
