I just purchased 3 for an opera. Quality fabric and design. Well made and I was desperate for a quick delivery which they did. Actors love the costumes. Highly recommended. Julie

Very well made and something not seen before which prompted my creative mind. Your vision of accessories is outstanding and leaves one to expand to suit personal taste. Material and construction quality is beyond reproach. The purchase procedure and delivery was flawless. Many thanks, Rick

I have 2 of these in black and white. They have added a great touch to my plague doctor/mad scientist costumes. Product is good quality and looks great. I’ll continue to order from HE for all of my Halloween costume needs.

I am very very happy with my purchase.

I was looking for a legitimate Mad Scientist outfit for a cosplay photoshoot and You guys did not disappoint. Great outfit for my character. I purchased the lab coat and the black gauntlet gloves. It was well received.

Costume for the home lab.

Feels & looks very authentic. The only reason it didn't get 5 stars is there was no outside pocket. But they didn't say that it would have one and the picture clearly shows no pocket.

I was worried that the (small size) bad boy wasn't going to fit, seeing as how I am a 5'4" teenage girl. HOWEVER! It went to just about my ankles/wrists, which is SPECTACULAR. The adjustment strap on the back was a huge plus, too. The fabric is thick, heavy, and comfortable and the buttons and collar are sturdy. It even flows in the wind in the right conditions! It's perfect for contemplating the complexities of human consciousness in. It's perfect for lamenting and plotting your revenge against the scientific community that ostracized you for your questionable morals in. Bottom line: it's perfect. As one (1) mad scientist obsessed individual, I can confirm this lab coat is absolutely a new favorite comfort item!!!!!! On a side note, it arrived in 4 days rather than the expected 12, which I could not be happier about! Excellent service, excellent item.... Excellent... Magnificent.... All according to plan....!

overall good construction, but I should have ordered one size up.

I bought this for my Halloween costume but it didn't fit. I bought the large & it was too big but the small was too small. The large fit around my bust but everywhere else it was too big. Too bad, that would have been a great costume for work....

I ordered a small because the dimensions indicated that was the right size for me. It was long, but that is easily fixed. At that price, I was concerned the fabric might be see-through, but it good quality and workmanship. Could not be happier.

So this is my second clothing purchase for my husband from Historical Emporium and, just like last time, the materials are heavy duty and solid. This is something you can wear for many years, not just on Halloween. Unfortunately, just like last time, it is a bit snug in the tummy. He has a 54" waist and I got the 3x/4x which should have worked since the size chart says it should fit chest/torso up to 58". It will button, but a few of the buttons directly on the widest part of his tummy are straining and a little uncomfortable. He will still use it, but may leave a few buttons undone for comfort. Lastly, as seems to be usual with Historical Emporium, it was a bit long. I hemmed the arms and bottom hem and it looks great now, but that is something that may need doing unless you are tall.

This coat is made of high quality heavy material, it is comfortable, and, in mad scientist circles, quite stylish!

Fits perfectly, made well, No complaints.

Wow! I am extra happy with the coat. The materials (fabric and buttons) are quality and the construction is very professional. It FITS!!! Yeah. I love Halloween and first time since childhood that I will have a costume I love and it FITS! Thanks.

It fits the 3x/4x is true its true. Being a big person it's always a crap shoot when ordering something like this when I go to the event I'll take some photos. Extremely happy.

You tired of the back and forth with amazon. Poor quality, runing late, and lack of durability. These is the answer. It has a great thickness balanced well with the wieght . I followed the instructions on sizing and it fits perfectly. Buy these guy you will not regret it, don't be fooled buy the others. This one is for keeps.

The quality of the coat is well worth the money payed for it. It's made from good material and you can tell this isn't some crappy costume you would buy at a store. I bought a size small and thought that even then it might be a bit too big for me but it fit great, although a little long (seeing as I'm only 5'4"/female) it's not an issue. If you are looking for something like this I definitely recommend buying it from this seller, you wont be disappointed and will most likely be buying something that will last a long time and make many awesome memories no matter what occasions you dress up to.

This costume is awesome! Absolutely perfect for the mad scientist look!

It is incredible. To be honest, I wear it while I'm cooking! Yes, a little mad alchemy in the kitchen. It's so much fun! Thank you

This is a fabulous item. This is the second version of this coat I have purchased. This is for a plague doctor. I also own a white version to be a mad (well, slightly peeved) scientist. Both fit wonderfully and are comfortable to wear for an extended time. The only negative is the buttons can be a little difficult to work sometimes due to placement. It is a great purchase that will last many years (my white coat is around 5 years old and in near-perfect shape).

Superb quality fabric and excellently adhered buttons. It is indeed larger than expected and sizing down is a good idea. This is a commercial-quality coat that has so far done a fantastic job of repelling the blood and fluids of political prisoners and coronavirus-infected degenerates.

Do not confuse this with halloween costume crap - it will stand up to close scrutiny - all the buttons are working buttons. It is stage quality. Bought this for an Uncle Fester halloween costume for 2 reasons: it appeared to be well-made and it wasn't a monks robe (which every other dealer tried to pass off as Fester's coat). Alright, this wasn't going to be Fester's coat either, but it looked much closer than anything else I could find. It was perfect! I ordered a XXXL because I wanted to stuff a pillow under it and the fit was still a little loose - at 5' 10" the length was all the way to the floor without tripping over it. Add some makeup and a trick light bulb and, poof - Uncle Fester! Helps to start out with a bald head because skull caps are a pita. I also bought a pair of German made welder goggles with 3 different pairs of lens shades - only ones I could find that actually had metal rims, everything in the steam punk world was plastic. Take off the makeup, add the goggles and some wild hair (or not) and let the mad loose. The coat is made from a good cloth and stitched well so it should last for years, unless you really are a scientist, mad or otherwise, and expect to use it daily. I could see using this for a Mortician as well as the Uncle Fester and Mad Scientist costumes. I just ask myself, "What would Christopher Lloyd do with this coat?"

Really, no joke. It is almost too big which for me is a pleasant surprise, I ordered a size larger out of habit expecting to have to send it back for being too short, or not being able to put my arms through the sleeves, instead a well made and accurate sized garment arrived in record time. I am quite pleased.

It’s just what I needed for my art and craft projects.Sorry this is not for cosplay or fancy dress I need it practical reasons.And this just perfect for acheiving my goals.

I am a MS chemistry student in California and was looking to replace my cheap white lean coat for something more aligned with my personality. I wear this while teaching a general chemistry lab class for non-science undergraduate students. I have gotten a lot of really positive responses from colleagues and my students. The fitting is nice and the quality of the material is worth the price. I only wish that it had small slits in the sides at waist level so I could get into my pockets without having to flap open the front.

I was really impressed with the quality of the material, not mention how comfortable it is as well. This is a perfect coat for the mad scientist costume you want. I wore this to my local comic con and it went over way better than I imagined it would. My only nitpick was how long the coat was. I put it on and it went all the way down to almost a half inch from the floor. But fortunately, it was an easy alterations fix. Worth every penny for the mad scientist in anyone.

Worked great for Halloween. Fits true to size. Material is nice and thick, nice buttons, high quality all around.

This is vibrant and well made! Was worth the money.

I have bought three of these for myself and my kids. They do run a little small I feel. Weight and color are perfect

My chemistry students loved me in this lab coat! One of the school colors was red and this made a really bold statement!

I am very pleased with the quality of this coat. The cotton fabric is very substantial without being bulky or uncomfortable. It is well constructed and I know I will be able to wear it for many years. The only thing I would change is the number of button holes on the adjustable tabs on the back of the coat. There are two buttons but only one button hole. I would love to see 3 or 4 button holes to allow for more adjustments. I ordered the 3XL and it is very roomy which I like, and again I would like the ability to have more adjustments to the back. I paired this with a red top hat, black gloves and a glowing jar around my neck. I got so many compliments at the Edwardian themed party I attended. Red always makes a statement.

For only needing this as a costume it kept me warm while running around. I went with a size larger than recommended and it fits me perfectly. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to do a Dr. Horrible cosplay or even a mad scientist costume.

No problems with it and it delivered on time.

This is a real garment, not a cheap costume. It buttons up all the way and the size and sleeves fit just right. The red color is great.

This does look great, but please note it is quite warm if you plan to wear it indoors, you need to watch you do not get overheated since it does button up to the neck.

The labcoat is incredible. I know it will be able to take a lot of abuse and last. I cant wait to get another one in black, which is what I originally wanted. However, the red is an amazing color and i am glad i got it.

Great quality, great look. I can't wait to use it.

It is hard to tell the quality with just a picture but this item is indeed well made, I am a big guy so I ordered the XL/2XL and when I received it and trued it on it fit perfectly. The material is a nice weight not light like some cheaper versions very durable. It was a little more then I wanted to pay but it is worth the price, I am very happy with this item

I ordered this for myself for a dr horrible costume. Since I am a 5'8 female this came to the floor. I had to make some alterations to make it work for my needs. The quality is great, decent fabric. Not thin and flimsy at all. I'd recommend this item to anyone looking for a lab coat to use for any reason!

thank you so much.... everything is such high quality.... i recommend this site for all costume play and just plane old amazing formal ware ..... stand out out your next party .... and this particular item is very well made with high quality fabric and fits amazing ..... thank you for all your amazing stuff

I purchased this for myself for a Dr. Horrible cosplay. It fit a bit bigger than expected, but I am a female instead of male. Nothing a little sewing can't fix. I wore this at Alamo City Comic Con with a tank top and shorts underneath, since it was long enough you didn't need to see the pants and was quite comfortable.

Lots of nice detailing in the back.

What a very nice, well made coat! Upon receiving, this coat is exactly as it shows in the pictures. It hangs perfectly and all seems are tight. The material is very nice, tuxedo quality. Glad we ordered this coat. If all other items Historical Emporium offers are of this high quality, I'll definitely buy here again!!

Looks great. Great fit.

The Callahan frock coats are the best value frock coats that the Emporium offers; I have one in each colour!

The frock coat is well made, looks good and a fair price for what it is. I am happy with the coat, but wish there were a few changes. The padding in the shoulders feels a bit too stiff and bulky, something with a more natural shoulder shape would be nice. I was also a bit disappointed with the weight of the coat. The site does state the weight clearly, so this was more built up in my head, but a coat with this design, but made of a heavy material (such as wool), would be amazing. All in all, a good coat and I look forward to seeing what other coats Gentleman's Emporium releases in the future.

The coat is nice over all, well made. But I expected(wished) more rich looking fabric. Also because of thin fabric , I can see through the metal part of covered buttons. I think it may be easy to torn. I wish that more measurements are available when purchasing.

Good fabric, nice details on the back vent of the jacket. This gives it a tailored look even though it fits a spectrum of sizes. We were very pleased.

This is a great coat, fits well, and looks rather dashing. An excellent way to show your Browncoat allegiance.

I purchased this coat for my husband as a birthday gift. He loves the coat and it fits perfectly. We have purchased other items from Historical Emporium and have never been disappointed. I was pleasantly surprised when the coat arrived sooner than estimated.

The coat is great, better than I expected. The fast service was a plus. Truly 5 star!!!!!

I've worn this coat a few times and i can honestly say it really does turn heads.This coat is already one of my favorites.

Beautiful Coat, Nice Fit, perfect for Theatre!

We were very pleased with the quality and price of our frock coat. I'd highly recommend this coat and this site to anyone!

I purchased this frock coat for my husbands birthday and we could not be happier with it. It arrived in a box packed with enough paper packaging to cushion. The size chart was very accurate so I'm glad we measured before ordering. The detail pleating in the back was very crisp and all stitching throughout the garment is very neat. We recommend this coat to anyone looking for an accurate historical frock coat. It has really taken my husbands steampunk attire to the next level.

This coat is not pretentious or overly flaunting; perfect over my suit and fits very well there. I was surprised at the light weight, yet warm wool.

This is an excellent coat. It fits well and is quite the looker. I got great compliments. If you are looking to stand out in an extremely elegantly fashionable way, this coat is for you!

So this came in the mail last week, and it fit as predicted - is a bit large so it can be worn over another jacket, allowing another decent layer of warmth beyond just the coat itself. Nice material, and nicely designed cuts! Only main complaint so far (after having only worn it functionally once) is that the lining is the wrong sort of material - you have to bunch up the sleeves of the undercoat or shirt before putting your arms through the sleeves - otherwise, fabric-to-fabric friction pushes your sleeves up inside the arms of this coat and it's hard to pull them back over your arms. It really should have a silky or satin-like lining to allow it to glide over other clothes.

I love this coat. I been wanting one for years. And although it isn't everything I was hoping for, it still passed with flying colors. The outer shell is real wool but it's a woven wool, so it does feel thin. Not a bad thing, still keeps you warm just something that isn't in the description. The sleeve cuffs do roll down like they should. The Buttonholes are a bit tight when buttoning it. The cotton sleeve lining does stick when taking the coat off. But all that isn't so bad, the worse thing about the coat are the front pockets. For a size 42 the pocket width is 4 inches. I can only fit up to my knuckles. But the pocket flap are wider and the pockets do have enough material to be widen to 5 inches max. So with a little work or take it to a taylor, the pockets can be widened and would be unnoticeable. Overall, this coat is a great buy. Where else would you find one like it. (Other than Civil War ones). The "problems" with the coat are minor. They don't interfere with its job. You still keep warm, still can button it, and still can take it on & off fine even with the cotton lining. The only real problem it has are the front pockets being too small. Other than that it's a beautiful looking coat and is perfect for reenacting and/or everyday use.

really nice coat. Perfect fit fine Construction. Very warm, gets lots of looks and compliments.

The fit was perfect and my husband loved it. He said it was exactly what he was looking for.

I really like the coat, but I did have issue with the ease of sliding it on as a reviewer pointed when I was looking at reviews. A slicker sleeve liner would be helpful. I knew of this issue when I bought it and bought it anyway. I took it to a conference and received many compliments from many people. It was not a period group, but many loved it. Overall, I am glad that I have it and can live with the sleeve thing.

I only give it 4 stars instead of 5 because I think it could easily be improved. It's really difficult to get on over most other clothes/coats, due to the muslin used for sleeve lining - changing the sleeve lining to nylon, satin, or anything else "slick" would make a good coat great; The button holes aren't quite big enough, and it's a real bear to get the buttons done or undone - maybe I can find buttons that are just barely smaller; It could be improved if the interior and two exterior pockets were deeper (and wider for the two outside ones) - they'd be a lot more more useful; A nice upgrade would be to change the collar and pocket flap trim from (moleskin?) to velvet or velveteen. Overall, still a really nice coat for the price, and a great fit - I'm going to enjoy wearing it over my wool frock coat in the Winter. Delivered really fast, too - thanks!

Super high quality. Also, extremely warm.

Coat was even more thin I though it would be very good. Would love to send picture it look good on me and sure it would on anyone.

Nice and warm coat. Easy to wear and looks good.

I found the fabric weight to be a little lighter than expected and the sleeves fit a bit tighter over the frockcoat than I'd like, but the construction and styling are perfect!

Very pleased with this product. The quality appears exceptional, makes you feel like you have shared in the making of history.

Excellent coat, high quality, and perfect fit. However, it was a bit heavier than I wanted and returned it for exchange. The exchange was fast, efficient, and I received it in 3 days, same as the original order. These people understand customer service and I highly recommend the Historical Emporium. I am a frequent HE patron. Love these folks.

Ordered to preform Wedding for My Grand Daughter, fit the bill to the T

Nice coat and had that period look and feel. A good fit for the actor I was building a period costume for who was leaving for a film shoot in Austria. The only problem I found was that the p coat buttonholes are too small for buttons. Very difficult to open and close. Since, the actor will be leaving the coat open the problem did not have to be remedied.

I love the coat. I had to take it to the tailor and have the sleeves take up but otherwise it’s perfect.

Nice quality garment. It looks great on my husband.

I am completely in love with this coat and I can hardly wait for the weather to cooperate so I can wear it! The sizing was a little confusing, but I figured it out. (ps: if anyone needs to know, the 3X is French/Euro size 46.)

Love love love this coat! Reasonably priced … with the exception of customs charges. Good quality and exactly as depicted. I would buy from them again.

Really nice shape to this coat, runs a bit small.

This coat is so beautiful! It's just the right weight for fall or spring. I bought this for my daughter's wedding Oct 30. I'm dressing as a gunslinger. It's just the right length and I cant wait to wear it. Thank you so much!

This coat is simply stunning. I ordered a size up from my usual size and it fits like a glove! It looks like it was tailored for me. I only wear coats with silky interiors and this one is perfect. The buttons are very pretty, but a little loose, so I did reinforce them, but it was no big deal as the coat is so pretty. I love the length as well as the way the bottom is made like a dress. The material is soft with stretch so that it fits comfortably as well as perfectly. Overall, this is one of the most beautiful, comfortable, and useful coats I own. I plan on wearing it as my autumn coat for everyday use. Great job Historical Emporium!

got it for my daughter as her going away coat for after her wedding, She just loves it. Nowe for a white blouse to suit the period.

This coat... is marvelous. It is very comfortable and of a high quality build, and looks /incredible/. A regular head turner! The pockets are deeper than expected (I didn't expect much), and very conveniently placed! My only gripe are that the buttons are not very well attached, so I reinforced them myself. The buttons themselves are very good, however, just weakly attached. Overall, an awesome coat that I'd happily order again!

I can’t believe how great this coat looks. My wife and I both love it. This is really a big deal for me since I was born without two important senses, fashion sense and gaydar. So something really needs to be beautiful or flamboyant for me to notice. Also thanks for the fast delivery.

This coat was really good quality and I would say it is on the slightly smaller sized of the sizing and personally I could use longer sleeves but I am very tall. Overall excellent.

I bought this coat as part of a Mary Poppins costume....sizing can be an issue with this garment...Even though I had ordered one size up/larger from the fitting chart originally....it was too snug so I returned it for another size up from the first coat. I received the replacement yesterday and it fit perfectly. With this being said, I am VERY pleased with this coat. It is well made and looks fantastic on, once you determine the correct sizing. Once I have worn it for the Mary Poppins production, I wont have any problems wearing it for day to day use. In communicating with the staff for the return I found them to be very helpful and pleasant to deal with. The only problem now, is I want it in the other color as well!

This is my 2nd jacket from Gentlemen's Emporium. I loved my 1st one soooo much I continued to browse the site for another. I've yet to wear this coat in public since it's better suited for fall/spring. Depending on where you live, you might be able to use as a winter coat; but alas, not so in WNY. I've gotten nothing but compliments on the 1st jacket and I predict the same for this one also. This jacket is very well made. Is fitted thru the waist and hangs perfectly. The weight is substantial. And is beyond beautiful. Another awesome find and as a bonus, I was able to purchase on sale. I'm completely thrilled. Thank you again GE.

I was very pleased with the quality of this coat. I will replace the buttons to give it a more authentic period look, but overall, a nice coat for the price.

This coat is more steampunk than Victorian. I needed Victorian for my impression. It also runs small. As Steampunk it is a really nice coat.

The Madeline Inverness Coat I purchased fits me like a wool glove. Cinching my waist, I could wear it as a dress in late Fall or early Winter back east. I Luv it!

This coat has a ton of style! Relatively lightweight- good for California winters. The sizing is SUPER helpful- normally i wear a MED but due to the chart and the tailored style, i sized up to be more comfortable with modern clothing, and it is GREAT! If i could change ONE thing, it'd be the buttons- they are domed and solid plastic. I understand thpugh- this coat has A LOT of buttons. I will be replacing with flat metal ones to match my style.

The workmanship of this coat is amazing. It is stunning! But best of all, the customer support was fabulous. I bought this coat for my wife, and while ordering a size bigger than she told me she was, the coat was still too small for her. I called and was presently surprised by the customer service. I was able to return the coat for the right size, (2 sizes up!).

This is a extremely well made coat. Good for mildly chilly weather, its a great Fall and costume coat. Only wished they made it bigger like the frock coats.

Excellently put together. The seams are clean and the material is quality. I wore it out to the mall and got countless compliments. The fit was perfect. Just follow the size chart. There are decorative buttons on the shoulders that I didn't love, but they were easy to remove with some scissors (no damage done to the coat. Just pull the extra thread it leaves behind and they come right out without leaving a hole)

Would have been nice if all sizes were available.

I absolutely love this coat, however, it is either cut very small or I have gained a bit of weight, as it is too small and I was unable to wear it to the event I planned to attend. Unfortunately, I cannot return it because it arrived quite wrinkled and I had to have it cleaned. So, I am hoping that somehow I will lose enough weight to fit into it soon.

I really love the coat. I wish it were a little thicker for the winter months but for fall and weather up to about 40 degrees, it should be perfect. Love the button detail and the way it stands out. Subtle Victorian beauty!!! I am so glad I took the large. I am not big, but I do have wider shoulders and the size Large is good. I wish things were made with the wider shoulder for us who have them. The large is good, however about an inch on either side more, would have been even better. No worries, its worth it...

It's difficult to strike the balance between extravagant and appropriate; something you could wear to a party or a formal occasion, and at first I was suspicious about the brown with black velvety accents as being too much one or the other, but I took a chance, and am very pleased with the results. This coat is like no other I've seen, and reminds me of the sort of things seen in bicentennial portraiture. It still has the traditional true-frock cut (e.g. the lower panel is a separate piece of fabric), yet remains both striking and and distinctive. A light all-wool shell makes it functional too. Despite being wool, this is not intended as an especially warm coat, so it could be worn most any time of year.

A very smart coat with its velvet collar perfect country gentleman comes to town

OMG that coat made my son-in-law soooo happy. He looks fantastic in it and the black velvet lapels are wonderful. The wool weight is perfect for Nevada's weather. It was a fantastic Birthday gift.

I love the look of this coat with its velvet trim and vintage cut. I'm not thrilled with the fabric itself, it's labelled as wool but the fabric is a very loose weave with a felt-like appearance and cheap feel. It's nice enough to keep, though. I'd love to see this trim style with different fabric.

I really appreciate this coat. The lighter weight is excellent in slightly warmer weather! It hangs well. I would note that this coat has shoulder pads, so those ordering should be aware of that.

The fabric seemed a bit lightweight for a frock coat and for the price. If/when I make one I will choose a slightly heavier weight fabric. I purchase these items as costume pieces (investment in my stock) and I plan to use them for shows more than once.

I especially like this coat. The black velvet lapels and collars that contrasted with the color of the coat itself was exactly what I was looking for. It's also not too thick, so it could even be worn in milder weather. Overall, this coat is perfect for a gentleman's leisurely walk in the park or to a Charles Dickens-themed festival, steampunk, etc.

This is a nice piece. At first i thought it was a little on the light side as far as the materials go, but being lighter allows it to be warn it warmer weather. The fit was perfect and it looks good in a photograph! Being a photographer this is important to me. I would recommend this item for anyone who wants to look like a riverboat gambler!

This Livingston cutaway sack coat is a very well made coat with an all round tailor-made look & fit's me well the sizing was spot on to my size that i ordered. This is an excellent addition to my Old West wardrobe & highly recommended as a purchase.

The Livingston cutaway sack coat is a VERY NICE coat for the money . It runs true to my standard suit coat sizing and fit me perfectly . The only problem i had was that the top button hole was sewn too small for the button . Easy fix for me so i just handled that problem in house.

The product came in good condition, and it was very sturdy and well made. It was just a TINY bit stiff when we took it out, so trying to get it into a more natural shape to put on our actor was a little tricky indeed. Otherwise, quick service and very professional communication. Thanks Historical Emporium!

Everything arrived on time for our event with the expedited shipping and the quality of the suit jacket and vest and tie were excellent! The pants were not the correct size , so I think on the next order we would check more closely on the style and the sizing of trousers .Overall very satisfied with this company and it's products. Would use again and would recommend to others
