The fit was great, I'm always nervous when buying mail order. This is the second pair of trousers I have bought from Historical Emporium, I'm sure it won't be the last. I do my own hemming, by hand and it was very easy to measure, cut & sew. I highly recommend your outfits to anyone interested in an accurate 19th century wardrobe.

This is my second order for this pant style, needed a new color. Shipping was quick and the pants fit very well, got lots of compliments on them.

Great pants better then pictured on website. Will buy more from here when able.

These 19th century western trousers fit well and look great! But the standard 36 inch inseam is in need of cutting back to 28 inches or so. We're not all 6'6"!

As a cowboy action shooter, these pants will add a bit of flash to my outfits, good quality great color. Can't wait to get to a shoot with these.

It is a nice product. Unfortunately, ordered two-size larger than I need. Will send it back for exchanged.

Love these pants! Great fit and it sits on the waist perfectly. Great color scheme and very durable. I will continue to purchase for them.

I have been wearing heavy canvas pants with suspenders for 10 years while operating a historically accurate canal boat. Heat and the bulk of the pants have made them unbearable. My new lightweight cotton period pants have allowed for easier movement and less suffering from the heat.

These trousers are perfect for our upcoming production of "Newsies!" They fit well and are perfect for the end of the Victorian period.

They fit well (with suspenders of course) and the material is very good quality, and very comfortable.

I bought these trousers as a sample first purchase before I dove in all the way on my Tombbstone/Doc Holliday/Val Kilmer outfit for my annual Halloween party. The quality and fit are excellent. I then ordered the rest of the outfit (Historical Emporium has the product lineup to essentially recreate one of the Doc outfits). Also excellent. I recommend their products. Very pleased. Customer support is also very friendly.

Very quick response arrival of package only took a couple days and was exactly what I was looking for

They fit great! I am going to wear them as much as I can!

These are very comfortable. The material is a lighter weight than the canvas work pants, but still feel sturdy. Perfect for this summer. Ordering, as always, was a snap.

Had to replace the last set of pants that I got from you all, as I have lost quite a bit of weight over the last year, these are great will love shooting in them, they fit the time period perfectly.

Well made trousers, good quality fabric, but the size we ordered was too big. We returned & re-ordered a smaller size.

Awesome quality - and while the trousers are really long, a relatively simple job for a tailor to resolve.

I bought this pair of Jennings Striped Trousers to complete a suit that I also purchased at Historical Emporium. And it a ll looks awesome together.

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.

Ordered one size larger that my normal size and they fit great. Nice dress weight material and seem to be well made.

These are a quality pair of pants. Worked great for my need. Love them.

The trousers did have to be taken up as stated. The stripes look nice and the material is of good quality. The fit of the trousers are comfortable all around.

These run very small!! Had to send them back. Kind of shaped weird also. Other than that quality good.

Just what I was looking for to complete my outfit! Wonderful product!

Pants are a most if like pinstripes as I do and also seem really well made. Do come long but nothing a few stitches won't fix.

These are a great quality product. They look and feel amazing. Like stepping into a different era when i wear them. I am completely happy with my purchase.

These pants ran incredibly small on the waist and were almost obscenely long. It is a shame because the design is so beautiful.

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.

This is the 5th pair of trousers I have purchased from Historical Emporium. Always good quality. Are exactly what is advertised. Wear well and always get compliments.

Awesome pants. They fit my waist perfectly. A little long but easy to hem. Quality fabric and quick shipping.

love the quality, however they seem way to big. would like to return

I really like these pants super comfortable my skin is super sensitive and these pants are no problem which really makes the difference for me. As for the fit perfect hangs really nice I have gotten multiple compliments while wearing them out regularly. I rolled the ankles but I might get the pants hemmed now because I know I like them a lot.

old west returns

Really Good

This is my new favorite outfit. I feel like a fancy banker or perhaps a mobster. The color is like a worn/distressed navy and the stipes add a dapper touch that accentuates my 6'3" super slim frame. The buttons match the stripes nicely. I feel as the fabric and pattern will wear well for many years. I'm a bit in between sizes, 42" chest, but the medium fits handsomely. 36" waist is my normal, stayed with 36" and they fit great. I do wish the best came in a tall option, but it covers my suspender tabs and waist strap on my trousers. I couldn't wear it with modern waisted pants, but again I'm 6'3" and 190 lbs. I have several vest and trouser sets from Historical Emporium, super excited to finally have something blue.

These pants are the bomb of durability! Wow. Seriously. Great and style as always! The colors are great! QUICK shipping. Thank YOU! I will search again if you carry these Humboldt trousers in other colors. If you don't, You definitely should! These badboys are gonna last!

These pants are super classy, and high quality. I purchased them for a Halloween costume, but will be wearing them on a regular basis. I love them.

I've never been disappointed with any Historical Emporium product....until I ordered these trousers. The striping / colouring is great....but the pants are really long waisted (reaching the bottom of ribcage) and, after washing, heavily wrinkled and stiff as canvas. They'll need more than a good pressing to look good ....maybe rolling over with a steam roller! I WILL STICK TO WAHMAKER AS MY TRIED AND TRUE BRAND OF PANTS. They didn't come in humboldt stripe so I ordered this brand. Bad move. Maybe the manufacturer could consider pre-washing the material (stone-washed?) using some kind of softening agent before cutting and assembling these pants. Having washed them, I will keep them, but cut and sew them into a vest instead. Too hard and stiff for my comfort level.

Picked these up for a costume. I'm a 32W/34L. The pants that arrived felt more of a 33W and 35L. I say this without having measured a thing. Ordinarily I would have sent them back for a smaller size, but the roominess allows me to make some killer dynamic poses. So it's all good!

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

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.

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.

This has the right look for my Victorian costume for community theatre. Be warned though, the legs are outrageously long and will need to be hemmed and probably cut. The style is thin legged which works well for the look. It is higher waisted as indicated, so go larger than your normal pants size in accordance with the sizing instructions. Know that the fabric, while looking great, is rather thin. Not as thin as a cheap Halloween costume, but certainly not a pair of pants to wear every day. Difficult to iron, so as nicer costume, good looking. As a casual wear, probably not.

My pants arrives quickly. They loog great and fit well. Thanks!

Great fabric, nice subtle stripe pattern.

Outstanding quality and perfect fit (definitely order 1 size larger). Will be buying another pair or two in other colors. Shipping was very fast, received in less than a week. My husband and I are pleased, and highly recommend this source for all those steampunk items you can't or don't want to make yourself.

Great quality, authentic design

Great quality, authentic design

This is the second time I have ordered the Ferndale Striped Trousers due to their great look and reliable quality. While they are true to size as described on the website, it should be noted that because they are cotton, they do stretch once worn and heated up by the body - similar to how jeans will stretch out once worn several times. I highly recommend these durable trousers.

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!

Very well made, Will require custom hemming, the pant legs are about 10 inches too long for me but I knew this before purchasing. Would and will buy again.

Got these for a cosplay, they match the style and look exactly for what I was going for, and the material is great, they're more durable feeling then my actual work pants!

I am gradually converting my everyday wardrobe to 19th century trousers from Historical Emporium---they seem to work for most occasions and I get lots of compliments and queries about them.

Great fit, comfortable to wear. A big addition to my collection

I was looking for something I could wear to a wedding that would also be the basis for a Steampunk outfit. These pants are great quality and are perfect for what I want.

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.

The size is true and they feel great on I would definitely buy them again. Highly recommended

Love these trousers! Colors are so rich!

These look great. Looks good with or without suspenders.

These trousers are a great choice for our upcoming production of "Newsies." They fit my actor well and he looks right in style for the historic period.

Let me begin by saying that I wear Historical Emporium clothing as part of my everyday wardrobe. Their products are reasonably priced and very well made and easily stand up to every day wear in my business attire rotation. I was looking for a lighter pair of pants for the warmer months and these are perfect! The material is sturdy, but very light weight and breathable. The pants are very comfortable. Why anyone would want to wear lower cut pants with a belt squeezing their waist is beyond me! The pattern is just as it appears in the photo. As with all Historical Emporium pants, they will need to be hemmed--but really, every gentleman should have a good tailor!

These are very comfortable, and what I like most about them is their length - it's hard to get off-the-shelf pants long enough for me. The material doesn't feel very robust, but then I'm not going to be working on the farm in them. It would be nice if they were part-lined, but that would put the price up. Let's say I think they're good value for what they are. Be careful about the size you order. The product notes point out that these are higher in the waist than most trousers and that you'll probably need to get a couple of sizes bigger than you're used to. Believe it!
