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.

These are very accurate reproduction trousers from the 20's and 30's. Real fabric! They do, however, need to be hemmed up as any fine pair of pants would be. So you will need a seamstress. I love how authentic the costumes are from Historical Emporium

I'm super impressed with the quality of the fabric. It's soft, thick, luxurious. They are right- the fit is pretty snug for the size and the waist is outrageously high... both really work for the historical look, but it's something a bit different from the norm so be aware.

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 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.

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.

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!

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!

Lightweight, but fabulous looking!

Ordered the wrong size at first, ended up doing an exchange which was very smooth and quick. I ended up getting them tailored to be more slimmer and they look wonderful, they're very bright!

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 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.

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

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.

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!

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.

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!
