Perfectly authentic replica! Cannot help but attract attention while out around town, but still comfortable and durable for daily chores. Easy to take care of as well! Thanks for the "heads up" on the inseam, I had my sewing machine by the ready, and hemmed them to the perfect length.

I was cast in the local community college's Advanced Cinematography movie as a western bartender. These trousers really set off my wardrobe! Got a lot of compliments from cast and crew (some of the others' wardrobe wasn't very "period.")

Great looking, great fit, service couldn't have been better.

Great looking, great fit, service couldn't have been better.

love the pants, i wish i could buy pants at the store with suspender buttons

I can't wait for my first opportunity to stroll out in these. Very pleased.

Quick delivery and great fit. I am very pleased.

The product was exactly what I was seeking.

Well made. Would order these as a regular pant. Please advise if the styling is available.

Perfect for bowling. Average goin' up.

Very good quality materials and excellent craftsmanship. Good fit. The only thing that I might suggest would be a lining but, good without for summer.

I purchase these trousers every chance I get! I use them for all kinds of shows and characters and I love adding them to the costume stock. They fit, wear extremely well and actors love them! True to size. Purchase with confidence!!!!!

I got so many great complements on these pants. I did have to have the legs hemmed, but that wasn't really a problem. The pants size matched what I ordered, and they fit great.

I was surprised when these pants arrived to see how long they were. My actor was not available to try them on so I had them shortened to his measurements and they fit perfectly. The rise is very long in these pants but they look wonderful. Don't be dismayed when you get them by how long they are.

Pretty much the same as the review for the Summerhill pants. The color combination for the Chadwick outfit fits what i wanted and needed for performing in the park. Do wish there was a spat option to really make the look.

The item ordered was not only just as described, but delivered very qiuckly! I highly recommend Historical Emporium!

I found out that just ordering a size up is enough for the high waist. I initially ordered up too much, and they were way to big. Once I got the right size, and had the length altered, these pants fit great. I received many compliments on the styling. Well made, heavy material, and the lines at the seams matched nicely. And, a big shout out the the folks at Historical Emporium for excellent service. They were wonderful and easy to work with when taking care of my swap for the right size.

I'm part of a steampunk organization and these trousers fit perfect - the exact size ordered, not over or under-sized. You will need to hem the legs though - they are super long!

The pants fit perfect. Thought I would never see a button fly again.

Comfy and stylish, a great pair of trousers.

Although quite long, as the description states, I am without a doubt extremely satisfied with these pants! It is literally the best money spent on a pair of pants in my lifetime. The fact that they sit higher on ones pelvis crests (waist) gives a comfortable feel. And I like that I can down the road purchases real suspenders. Even without suspenders the pants do not fall due to the tensioning strap in the lower back.

Customers, These pants will be a nice addition to our costume stock. Nice period colors Theatre girl

Great compliment to the matching vest and frock coat. Pants are a snug fit on your waist, so if you want them loose, go up a size. Braces will hold them. Legs are straight but not skinny jeans type.

I ordered these as a present for my boyfriend. When they came they were even better quality than I expected and he loved them! We are very satisfied with Gentlemen's Emporium.

These are the single most comfortable trousers I have ever owned! They advised going up one size for high-waisted, and that was exactly right. I am usually a bit apprehensive about buying fitted clothing over the internet, because you can't try them on first, but they were spot-on perfect! Construction is sturdy, the material is nice and heavy, yet very soft and comfortable, and the overall quality is outstanding! The braces and vest were amazing as well.

Very comfortable and great quality! I Wear a size 36 and ordered a size up to 38 and they fit nicely.

You need to have the inseam taken up for your length. Also the Crotch needs to be brought up. But these are quality Trousers, so it’s a small inconvenience.

These pants are perfect! They arrived quicker than expected. Workmanship and over quality is excellent. Super happy with this purchase. We are using them for an 1800's era Opera production; they would be great for any period look 1800 - early 1900.

These are first-class trousers, made of a very thick cotton. All sewing and buttons are top notch. Regarding sizing, I wear Levi's in a 33 waist, but followed the instructions and ordered a 36 pair of Ludlows. Waaaay too big. Reordered a 34 which fit perfectly! Fantastic purchase!

The web site recommends (in many cases) to order one size up, but that was not true my case. I am currently exchanging for my normal waist size but I'm sure I'm going to love them.

Perfect fit. Nice fabric. They look good!

This is a part of my finer clothes, and is in use in speciall times

I followed the instructions for determining my size, ordered 36 waist, even though my normal waist size is 34, and had to take the waist in 2 inches.

Good, durable trousers with an interesting colour combination.

I bought the Ludlow Trousers as part of a costume I was going to wear to Comic-Con. Never having been to one before I was a little vauge on what my look should be but being influenced by the First Doctor from the UK Sci-Fi show Doctor Who I was determined to abopt a Victorian/Edwardian look. Having "window shopped" the Historical Emporium on line for a while it was the first place I turned to for the products I wanted, and I was not dissapointed. The products I ordered are all top quality and the service just as much so. Can not reccomend or praise you high enough. Diolch

The fit is great, color excellent and priced fairly.

My local seamstress was very impressed with the quality of this gament and said these trousers could easily sell for $100 or more.

THE TROUSERS WERE EVERYTHING WE HAD HOPED FOR.

These we're nice, affortable, and very comfortable. I look forward to purchasing more from H.E.

Let me start by saying that these pants seemed to be up to standard in terms of quality. But I sent them back for two reasons, costing them two stars. First, the fit was too big. Maybe it was a fluke, but it is what it is. Second, the color is... not any kind of taupe I've ever seen. To my eyes they have a greenish tint, and they are darker than I would have thought. I didn't find the color pleasing. Of course, that is a matter of personal taste, so, take it for whatever that's worth. If you want a solid pair of trousers that aren't the same old plain brown, you've found them. The fabric is nice weight, by the way. Lots of body, but not unpleasantly thick.

Great style and fit! And as usual, quick service from HE!

Do as other reviewers have suggested, and step up your pant size, just as I did. And don't forget to order your suspenders because if you think you can find button suspenders in your town as I thought I could, you will be coming back for a second order and paying additional shipping charges.

I was very pleased with the quality of the item, very well made for the price.

I love these trousers. Exactly as described, did need to cut and hem them, but that was expected. They fit well, and I am quite happy with this purchase. Highly recommendable Purchase.

Highly recommend!! I find them so comfortable on a day to day basis.

These are probably the best pair of pants I've ever owned, I wore a pair for over a year or so before the constant use and abuse wore them out. I was devastated when I could no longer wear them and the Emporium didn't have my size at the time, luckily they finally came back in stock recently and I couldn't be happier! They're comfortable, sit nice and high, and have plenty of room in the pockets. I love the stripes and how they look once properly hemmed, I definitely recommend 'em

I wear a 32 in Levis. I should have ordered a 34 No way to alter waist. Order large and tailor to fit.

Wow! These are great! Wore them w/ my Vigilante coat to Church & received lots of compliments. I'm one of those jack of all trades kinda guys. I can weld as well as stitch a seam so I hemmed them with a 1" rolled up cuff for snazzy-ness sakes. Also, ordered a size up like they said to do & what a perfect fit! Now I'm ditching jeans as work pants & ordering the canvas version of these. They're that comfortable & well made :)

I ordered these and within days it was at my doorstep. The pants fit around my boots perfectly with no bagginess and though the pants are longer in length, they never ride low on my boots or go below the heel., very comfortable and the stripes are well defined. Definitely happy with the purchase

These period trousers worked perfectly for the theater costume I wanted to create. The advice of ordering one size bigger than your normal pant size was most helpful and assured that the fit was ideal. I normally wear a 36 waist (35 really) but to be cautious I ordered the Ferndale pants in a size 38. The higher-riding waistline fit me perfectly and once my wife hemmed them, and suspenders were attached, I was totally satisfied with the look and authenticity. The website stated that size 38 was "special order" and could take 10 to 14 days to arrive. Imagine my surprise when they came in 4 days. Great service and great product.

I'm a little surprised I didn't buy these earlier. They're very nice on all counts. The pattern and color look sharp; bolder and more eye-catching than solids, but not so much that they're garish. The material is lightweight and comfortable. And they just look dang good. Frankly, I'm starting to think the matching vest is calling my name to go with these pants. In short: These are a good pick!

The stripe in these trousers give it a great period look. The level of contrast between the darker and lighter stripe is perfect, just enough to be noticeable in a photo. Fabric sits in a nice comfortable zone between casual and formal; you can dress these up or down depending on what you pair them with. I concur with other reviewers, the navy looks more black to my eye...but this is good, makes these more versatile. Fit is snug, sizing up is a good idea.

I followed the instructions for sizing and ran into a contradiction. Measuring for waist size with a tape I came up with 36" for these and even measuring for regular pants I came up with 34". I've worn 32's for years. So do I go with the tape measure or the 2" bigger than normal pants size? I chose the latter and lucked out. The pants are nicely made and pure retro.

I scoured the internet searching for these period trousers to go with a custom cowboy bounty hunter outfit. The sizing instructions are a bit confusing and seem to give different ways to get your measurement. I measured my waist as the instructions stated and came up with 40" and my normal pant size is 34. It also states that most people need to go up one more size than their normal pant size. This is what I did. I wear 34 so I ordered a 36 and the fit was perfect. The trousers are well made and I'm very satisfied.

Great quality. Pant's are very comfortable and not to warm. Even in a crowded nightclub.

great they are pretty and classic.

Just what I wanted.

the comments I got with the trousers stunned me. They are beautiful, comfortable and high quality. This is why I only shop for cloths at the Emporium. I wear the styles every day and they start the test of use very, very well.

Great! I bought a 36", normally wear a 34". Fit great. Was still a good looking trim enough look. Used hem tape and a couple pins for length adjust. Added suspenders and a hat. Was well dressed for a 20's party.

I don't know if you all could've done this, but if the pants could've come pre-hemmed that would have been perfection. Unfortunately I didn't even think to ask.

These are the best quality you can imagine and ther are affordable to boot! Very pleased.

These pants are perfect for so many occasions. Used them for a theatrical production and they took a lot of abuse and held up very well. Very well constructed. Note that they do fit very snuggly so definitely order at least a whole size up from your normal size. They also come up higher than traditional modern pants so they will need to be fitted in the upper torso and not just around the lower stomach. Measure accordingly for sizing. Highly recommend!

Very nice quality, I'm very satisfied!

I like but too many snide remarks from others

I love these trousers! Excellent fabric, fit and price. Can't ask for more.

The trousers were what I expected. The only drawback is having to go to a tailor to have the length shortened, thereby increasing total costs.

These trousers are wonderfully designed and the fabric is perfect!

These trousers are THE fashionable way to dress! And they're incredibly versatile; from tycoon to desperado, you'll look authentic in these. I should have paid closer attention to the sizing advice. I ordered my regular waist size, but should have gone one size larger, as they DO ride higher than today's styles. Beware your own vanity! Now I have a great incentive to lose that last five pounds. :-)

White stripes brighter than I expexcted. Maybe I was expecting a charcoal stripe but it is bright white. Legs very long but meant to be hemmed.

I like the quality, fit and weight of the material very much. I operate a very fast paced, busy hot dog cart. I wore these pants and the matching vest in 95 degree weather and it was very workable(especially the trousers). Very happy with this purchase.

My review for the matching vest is pretty much the same for the pants. They fit well and are comfortable. Combined with the vest and spats it give me one of the costumes I use for park/busking magic show.

Once I got the right suspenders, these trousers fit splendidly. They ride high compared to modern fashion, but that design is arguably more comfortable and less constraining than wearing a belt. The length and fit were perfect (I'm 5'11")—no adjustment needed. Prepare to spend time ironing!

I was impressed by the quality of these trousers. They're a functional clothing item made out of thick material and made to last. This is not a cheaply made throw-away costume piece! Note that for me, these trousers ran a little small: a 34-inch waist fit me better than my usual 32-inch. I give these trousers 4 stars instead of 5 only because of the visible brand-tag stitched on the outside, above the seat: such advertising threatens to break the illusion that a period piece like this is intended to create.

Wonderful call quality. Very sturdy pants. Wonderful striped embroidered stitching.

I ordered this, and the matching vest, for a festival here in historic Scenery Hill, PA where we celebrated the first 100 years (1785-1885) and yes this was a little later time period but I and everyone loved it. I was the tour guide through the Historic District and many remarked on my clothes. Our Heritage Festival was a hit and this outfit is sure to be used several times a year for other events and festivals in our village.

I bought these for their look with little hope for their comfort. I am pleasantly surprised to find these trousers are comfortable in addition to looking sharp. Because these are built to historical standards and have a higher rise than modern pants, I followed the advice about ordering a size larger than one normally wears. Well, actually I screwed up entirely and ordered 4 sizes larger than I intended, but a quick e-mail to customer service fixed that without any delay. So I am pleased with the trousers and very pleased with the customer service. For anyone who is unfamiliar with ordering trousers like these, you will be taking them to your tailor for hemming. They have a hem, but for an extremely long leg length. This is a feature, not a problem! A tailor will give you just the length and "break" you like for the shoes you will likely be wearing. Pre-set inseam lengths cannot do this as well. The end result is delightful. I wish I could get a version of these with some stretchy fabric incorporated to make dancing a tiny bit easier. That would not be historically accurate, but would be convenient. Please do not think of this as a complaint about these pants. That would be another product. These trousers are marvelous.

top quality pants, nice long leg which is good as i need it being 6'6"

very happy. great quality and fast shipping

These fit wonderfully...I have trouble finding regular clothes that fit...it was a real treat to find costuming that works without a lot of tailoring. Thank you.

Very comfortable and fun to wear. The vertical stripes make you look taller and slimmer! I would suggest buying suspenders to go with them.

I purchased these with the matching vest. The first time I wore the vest, I wore white ducks as these were being hemmed. When I did wear them together, I received numerous compliments, such as, "Smashing!" They are very comfortable and easy to care for. I ordered one size larger, as suggested, and they fit perfectly. A terrific set.

I ride a lot for my job. The gear I get from Western Emporium holds up to my daily wear and tear! I buy old style riding/ cowboy attire from WE because the old timers designed clothes that fit the work! If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

I love them. I took early retirement and bought a couple quarter horses with my daughter. We ride 3 days a week, and these pants are the best, feel good, look good. They look great with my bib shirt when we ride in Asquith, sk.

Well made! This is my third pair ordered from you and the quality of workmanship and material is excellent. I do notice that no two pairs seem to fit the same way. Each of the three pairs I now have fit - but fit differently. The waist sizes are shown to be the same but they are different when I put them on. I will definitely buy more as I need to - and want to.

Need longer inseem not everyone is under 6ft tall would buy more if they were longer

Plan to wear my Baily trousers with my Summerhill Vest & Spats. The excess from my Summerhill Trousers ( which I really like) was made into spiffy hatbands for my Straw skimmer & my brown derby.

Pants were a little long but great colors for Steampunk attire.

This is my second pair of Baileys from Historical Emporium. The material is light, but I've worn my original pair a lot with no sign of wear. Fit/length is great for me. The crimson of these is brighter than the photos show - you've been warned!

Not for the shy. But very fun and nice. I found the "32" inch waist was 34 inches when measured, but I've bought these pants before in another colour and ordered a size smaller than my actual measurement, and when they came they fit perfectly, so... The material is lightweight but seems strong. Certainly unique hah!

These trousers are fantastic!

I bought these pants to wear to an upcoming steampunk convention. As per the sizing recommendations I ordered one belt size up from my normal fit. When they arrived, I tried them on and they fit perfectly. They are very well made and comfortable. And they are very fun looking. They will be a great addition to my steampunk outfit.

Better than expected. Have washed them a few times to age, line dry with no shrinkage. Many compliments. 100% satisfied, can't wait to wear to CO this summer!

I've owned the Bailey Trousers for a couple of years... and I've not been nice to them. In spite of that, they still look great and fit great too. They are well constructed as well as comfortable. Even after repeated washings and being worn in harsh environments, they still hold their color. Great pants, that are versatile with many different outfits/costumes I have. I should mention these pants have no comparison to something you'd pick up in a costume shop... they are comfortable, wearable, and built to last. Well worth the money.

Thanks for getting these to me so quickly. I am using them for my Fifth Doctor costume, and they look absolutely great! I'll be sending you pictures from the convention later this year.

I got lots of comments on my outfit. These pants were more fun than plain black pants. I love the points on the waistband with suspender buttons. The details make this authentic style vintage pant feel great. I am impressed with the quality of Emporiums goods.

These pants are really cool looking. They will be worn by my groomsmen in my steam punk wedding. They wear size 28, 34, and 38 pants. 28's weren't available, so I ordered that guy a 30. The 30's fit perfectly. The guy who normally wears 34 had to use the size 38's. The guy who normally wears 38 will need a 40, so I'm in the process of returning the 34 pants so I can get the 40's. Also the pants come unhemmed so my fiance will be hemming all the pants. Good thing she knows how to sew!

Got these for my husband to wear in the National Day of the Cowboy show in Sedona, AZ. The first pair were way too tight and cut really small. He has been a 32 X 36 for the 37 yrs we are married. I re-ordered from the 1st pair of 33 to a 36 waist and those fit him. Also the length is cut to a 38. He has no body fat or gut, wash board stomach and yet the cut on the 33 ran way too tight. Yes they ride higher than most pants so I suggest order up sizes. He is 6 ft 2 inches tall. Loved the summer light fabric and bright colors.

I think these pants are really cool. The colors, stripes, and buttons for the suspenders just make it awesome. Well designed pair of breeches. My hubby was able to put his wallet in the front pocket.

Very pleased with the fit and quality of these. They look great, are made from sturdy material and seem to be of high quality.

Love the design, construction and durability of this product line.

The trousers are well made. You need to have the inseam altered for your length. Also the Crotch needs to be brought up as it hangs to low. But it’s worth it for a pair of quality Trousers.

These are excellent quality pants! Worth the money! And they're extra long so you can hem them to fit

Great pair of pants, definitely not cheap and extra long so they can be hemmed. Love them!!

these pants are very well made, from a sturdy jean-like material. They are more bluish in color than the pictures show and you WILL need hemming - Unless you are 7' tall. Mine came with flat buttons (although the pictures show some ornaments on them). Also I followed the instructions and bought one size up from my normal pants size and they are quite a bit loose. But you can adjust the strap in the back - there is quite a bit of room. Overall I am pleased with the purchase - it should work quite well with the Canvas work vest I bought as well.

pantalon bien trop grand et mal ajusté compte tenu du tableau des tailles proposés. sans parler des frais de douane exorbitants !!

I was thrilled when they arrived. Ordering one size larger, as suggested, the fit is perfect and very comfortable. These high quality, durable, denim-like trousers will wear a long time, and are just the thing to wear; whether you're laying track for a railroad or heading out for the Spring Quadrille at Mrs. Huffington's, the style is perfect. I use them for every day wear, and love them.

Perfect fit looks great

They come very long so they need done adjustment but look and fit great.

I give these trousers a five star rating. Choose one size up. I went with a size 52 waist. Truly authentic victorian or western look and very comfortable. Unless you are super tall, be prepared to take up the inseam; for me, I went up 7 inches. I did it myself using special self-stick velco made for fabric, which you get at certain fabric chain stores. Or go to your tailor. I love these trousers. I also bought the matching homboldt vest. You need suspenders or Y-back braces to hold these trousers up.

Great quality and fit. I followed the instructions and ordered one size up and had no problem with size. I will say I am medium build with proportionate weight. Even if you are larger in size I think one or two sizes up from your normal size should work with no problem.

A nice change from the more traditional black and black pinstripe suits I'd usually wear, the Humboldt stripe trousers, when worn with the matching Humboldt waistcoat, are guaranteed to make you stand out. They work well as casual trousers or something more formal, or for workwear (try matching the Humboldt trousers and waistcoat with the Livingston black brushed cotton town coat, black boots, a white shirt and a black tie. Trust me - it works). The trousers are generously cut (a little loose in the middle, truth be told; the adjuster in the back takes up some of that slack), and the fabric has a nice texture to it that does lend itself to play as much as work. The buttons match the colour of the stripe perfectly, by the way. If you're thinking of buying them, I'd recommend it; you won't be disappointed.

Pants vary in sizes, it's a hit and miss. One 34 will fit like a 33 or 35.

Great pants. Did not realize I had to get them tailored locally. They are keepers, beautiful pinstripes. The long legs made for a good laugh. However, it would have been nice if you noted in the description the pants needed to be tailored.

And the second pair of trousers bought to my sons birthday, and he loves them to ;-)
