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.

I am very pleased by the quality of these pants. I followed the measurement instructions exactly and the trousers fit perfectly.

Instant hipster. Just add pin stripes. Be generous with your waist size or they might be a little too snug.

The perfect trousers to compliment the black leather corset vest and bowler hat that will complete my Teslacon wardrobe. The perfect pant for ladies and gents alike!

Outstanding quality for something that might be thought to reflect the working end of the neo-Victorian spectrum . I will be wearing them in more formal circumstances . Bought a size smaller than usual and found the fit to be exceptional . Guess it depends on one's body shape . Highly recommended .

This is my second pair of high waisters, but will not be my last. I really like the feel of them and I wonder that it took so long for me to switch over to suspenders. I've had buttons added to most of my trousers. People who are tired of their hip huggers ask where I got them!

Purchased a few outfits to work a large Steampunk Symposium. Great quality. Fast delivery. Bought one item in a wrong size and it was handled fast and professionally. I'm will shop here again.

I really loved the color of these pants. The fit was great and I hemmed them myself.

Incredibly high-quality pants--like everything I've ordered from this site. Their customer service is paragon!

Wow. I'm impressed. I thought the clothing would be costume quality, but the pants are the same as a good pair of Levi's . Not to mention they look awesome! Looks like i'll be buying more here.

Great product unfortunately, I ordered the wrong size. The trousers are REALLY baggy, not as shwon in the picture. You will need tailoring to get a good looking fit.

Completely satisfied.

I always feel great in these sturdy, well made pants. The color is far more interesting than the illustration shows and "Charcoal" indicates. I would call it more of an eggplant background with a subtle dark stripe in it. Goes well with a whole range of shirts and vests.

These pants were perfect for my costume. They are top quality and all around cool pants. I may try rocking these out one night and see if I can bring the high waisted pant back in style!

These are great trousers. The striped style is classic and the fit is great. remember to measure your waist for these type of pants!

They are a high waist pant but they do actually look the part when you are wearing them . Once again I was very impressed with the quality and should imagine I'll still have these pants when I've worn out 30 pairs of jeans. The staff were very helpful with UK sizes also and they fit when they arrived .

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.

They are wonderful trousers, despite having to have them hemmed. Did have a problem getting used to full button down style. They fit just right, and are historically accurate. Will buy further sets in the future.

Your order was perfect. The clothes were a Christmas present for my son. He enjoys it very much. The burgundy railhead pants however had a little fault. One of the rivets that hold the suspenders was loose, falling out of the opening. Since we live in Germany and shipping is pretty expensive it makes no sense to return it. Hopefully we will find a way to fix it. Sincerely

Excellent quality trousers with robust seams and buttons. The material seems very period-accurate and is quite unusual vs. anything you would find in a typical clothing store. The high waist design is particularly good. They are a bit more "loose fitting" than I expected as the photos show them a bit tighter in the legs.

Outstanding quality of material and work out !!!!!

I ordered the burgundy Railhead Pants because I love my taupe Railhead Pants so much. I wear them frequently. These pants are actually period clothing with solid construction and great material. I took these pants to my local tailor and the lady absolutely freaked out at how gorgeous the stripes are. People are constantly asking me where to get them. Of course I tell them that there's only one place to order them, and that's at Historical Emporium.

Perfect. Comfortable.

These pants are pretty cool. They are my favorite ones to wear on stage.

Excellent design and construction. Nicely styled, comfortable, and good looking.

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.

These trousers fit as if they were tailor-made for me. My wife likes them very much indeed, and they are perfect wear for my Steampunkery. My normal waist size is 32", your recommendation to go for the next size up (34") fits me perfectly, thank you.

I'm wearing them right now! Very comfortable. I purchased 36 waist (I normally wear 34 waist) and the pants fit perfectly.

I'm 5'9" and 150 lbs. I usually wear a 32 waist and I ordered the 34 waist for these pants as suggested by other customers. They fit perfect. An old style woven fabric, straight legs, not tight at the bottom. I cut a few inches off the legs. Nice deep pockets. I paired these with a Stafford wool vest in small.

The Dodge City pants in charcoal are great quality fabric and cut! Expensive (since I'm from Canada) but worth the price.

Comfortable summer weight pants. The pockets are wide enough to fit your hand. I wore out my last pair and it took a while to find replacement.

These pants fit great. They are part of my daily rotation. Dressy yet comfortable.

These are excellent trousers, like my other Wahmaker trousers. This particular pair of trousers is my most comfortable pair of trousers, and looks marvellous. I would strongly recommend buying Wahmaker brand trousers over the other brands offered here (which are still servicable). The slight increase in price of the Wahmaker's is offset by a vast increase in quality.

These are attractive enough for me to wear to work, and good fabric. I'm a bit odd because I buy this stuff to wear every day (I'm a priest) - it's well made, reasonably priced, and fits my oddball sense of fashion. And it's locally (read "USA") made.

These were a great fit, though a little tight in the seat. There's lots of fabric to work with if you need to alter them larger or smaller, and the manufacturing quality is top-notch. The fabric itself is an amazingly soft, light yet thickly woven cotton and is pretty breathable. They sit just barely below my natural waist at 6'1, but if you're a little shorter they'll be the perfect height. I cannot stress enough how wonderful the fabric is, and can be dressed up or down to suit your needs. I would suggest, however, being mindful if you are athletic because the legs are a little stovepipe-like.

Great quality pants, my only qualm with the item is that the pants were much baggier in the legs and butt than they appeared in the photos. Still great pants though, I wear them all the time.

I am a cowboy shooter and needed to wear period clothing for our events. These pants fit well and had the exact appearance I was looking for. And, I'm comfortable that their construction will lead to years of good use. They were well packed and arrived in good condition. Historical Emporium will be my source for early period clothing in the future. Roger - Atascadero, CA

These were not my first choice for pants. Unfortunately, the Emporium was out of my first choice. After some consultation with their excellent Customer Services staff, we figured that these would be the next best choice to go with the coat, hat, vest, etc. that I already have. And they are! The color is a good compliment to the other pieces, as we determined in our email exchanges. The material is lighter weight than I was expecting, although that is not obvious when simply looking at them. However, that actually goes in the plus column, as far as I am concerned, since I will be wearing them in summer with a hat and coat. Should help keep my temperature down a bit. They seem to be of sturdy construction and the claim is that they are machine washable. I may have them dry cleaned with my coat anyway, just to be sure they stay as nice as they are out of the box. I also suggest going two sizes larger in the waist. Add a nice pair of suspenders form Historical Emporium and, between those and the adjustable back strap, you'll be able to make them fit just right. I'm looking forward to many enjoyable uses of these trousers.

Excellent material and construction; met all expectations. Recommend ordering 2 sizes above normal pant waste size (i.e. wear 34; order these in 38).

Second pair... the first lasted about 4 years of near constant wear, being switched with a taupe pair of the same design. They always get complemented and admired. They're better looking and more comfortable than jeans. They wash and dry beautifully. Follow the directions for sizing and they'll fit perfectly. You'll probably want them hemmed to your preferred length, and you'll want to buy a pair of braces (if you don't already own some) to keep them at the correct height; the buttons to attach your braces are already there. Whether worn with a plain shirt every day, or with a vest and coat for an evening out, you'll always look dapper and just a notch above the crowd.

The fit is perfect!

Love these and so does my actor

Quality is great. Buttons built in for button braces (suspenders). Love this pair of trousers.

The cut and fabric are great for some authentic looking period style and sturdy pants.

Great feel, very comfortable--perfect fit, and well-made.

Very good quality. Fits perfectly thanks to the customer service center ;-) Thank you.

Ordered one size larger according to the advice. Good fit after washing and shrinking. Probably could have done with the true size. Very nice quality material and excellent vintage style. Just the job.

These are well-made, tough pants. They've already been through two dress rehearsals and three shows. Great price, too! One bit of advice: wash/dry at least once before you have them hemmed, or plan to dry lean them. They're cotton, so it's not a surprise. Great looking, great fitting. Perfect San Francisco Barbary Coast trousers!

Bought these pants to wear to a MountainMan Rendezvous and was thoroughly pleased with the style,construction and appearance of these pants. The pants are well made and fit the 1800's nicely. I will caution everyone to order 1-2 sizes larger than you normally wear ! Thanks Historical Emporium !!! I WILL be ordering more !!!

excellent quality and the fit was perfect , shirt, pants and vest are all very nice

The pants look great, information said to order size larger than you normally wear, I usually wear waist of 32 so I ordered 34's. I also ordered a pair of westport stripe trousers in a 34 size waist. The railhead pants, size 34, I could not even come close to get to button up, too small. The westport stripe pants, size 34, fit great.

After reading other reviews, I ordered a size up, but found that they were much too large, so had to re-order. They now fit like a glove. These are fab pants and create a gorgeous silhouette. You could dress them up or down and are a heavy cotton ( like jeans ), so, sturdy and look to have a good life span. They're very stylish and based on the purchases I've made ( I also bought a pair of suspenders ), the quality of these products have won my loyalty. I will be shopping here again, for a long time.

I ordered these trousers and they were shipped to me in a very timely fashion. The price was very good in my opinion for the quality of authentic period wear. I was impressed with the quality and color. I did that one of the suspender buttons was a little off in spacing when compared to the proportion of the other side but it's not really a big deal to me. I would definitely recommend these trousers to a friend.

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.

Really love the pants. Just want to mention that the navy stripe looks black.

Excellent fit and quality. Better than anything I could make myself.

Really well made , like the high waist keeps my shirts tucked in no matter what I`m doing Also like the brace buttons I don`t have to wear a belt & don`t worry about droopy pants . Fits well either over my boots or tucked in depending on boot style . I`m on the tall side & the fit is great . Got 0ne size larger like you said fit was good, they wear well when riding or walking . Probaly buy a few more different pairs .

I'm very impressed with these. The material is soft and feels like quality, and the fit is perfect for me. I recommend following Historical Emporium's advice re ordering a larger size than you'd normally wear for these high-backed styles. Probably the best feature for me is the length - I'm tall, and these need no modifications at all.

Wife thinks fly is open when buttoned becausethey show on outside, but shouldn't, oh well such is life when not trying on before buying, too loose too.

This pair of trousers is just what I was looking for! It looks even better in reality than it does in the pictures. If you don't like your trousers shiny, these are not for you, but I don't mind that at all! Had some sizing issues at the start, but Historical Emporium sent me a replacement and this time they fit perfectly. Also I like that they come very long so you can adjust them to your liking.

Add the French Satin Suspenders...Perfect Match

The Sweeney Trousers are an excellent choice if you want to edge into the Browns. The Herringbone pattern is not too intrusive on the colour.....and the one really does set the other off. As described....they do sit high, and they are comfortable to wear. I chose to wear these with my Pemberton shirt over Christmas, and they really go well together. Again.... full marks for a well designed and fitting garment.

These pants were super nice. Definitely not like a costume, but rather good made pants you could wear anytime.

First noticed the pants in a FL Studio Theatre production. Spoke with the costume person to locate your company. Excellent quality material which hangs,fits, and feels wonderful. Thanks for a superb product. Will be back to shop again. D.

The trousers' fit exactly as measured, and there was plenty of leg for hemming. Beautiful fabric and detail! Shipping was fast, customer service was knowledgeable and helpful.

These trousers are of great quality. Are a bit long with a 36" inseam, but local tailoring will fix that properly. Great purchase
