Very comfortable and much more dignified than a robe. The ladies approve.

Overall I am very happy with my purchases. While I am happy with my smoking jacket and wear it regularly, I think it is not quite up to the very high standard I have seen in my other purchases. It will not have an effect though on my planned future purchases.

What more can I say? It was just what I was looking for! And Historical Emporium delivered!

I really enjoy the look of this jacket. I wear it almost every time I smoke my pipe.

Seems like it would be better with linen lining polyester just makes it seem like cheap feeling

Purchased this for my husband for Christmas, expecting something he could wear while sipping scotch by the fire in the evening. It was somewhat of a joke as he fancies himself a "gentleman and a scholard" - yes I mean to spell it that way as irony - but I still expected something comfy to wear. Perhaps I misunderstood your company's heavy emphasis on costuming at your web site, and I paid a dear $20 to return ship these items back to you for a refund. The fabric of the jacket was more like flocked paper than velvet - so - OK for a stage or party costume, but not for garments to wear. As others have mentioned, the color was not burgundy but a dark red - still bright like red. Disappointed, but that's why I start now for Christmas shopping. Your site was very entertaining and I learned about steam punk. LOL

I received the jacket and to me it is more of a costume piece than something you would wear to events...parties. The quality of the jacket material wise I thought was somewhat stiff and bulky for a velvet jacket.....again costume quality and look. The jacket is also not fitted so if you are slim fit...this is not for you either. I returned the jacket because it was not what I expected look and material quality wise.

its been on my wish list for some time now and now I have it!

Fast Shipping. This Jacket is so Beautiful. True to Color and Very Well Made. Excellent Quality. Just Love It.

Stepping out of the pages of British history ...this classic velvet jacket and hat are perfect. Fun to wear, comfortable and cozy. Light the fire in the fireplace, get the brandy bottle and relax after a stressful day and hear the parish bells ringing in the tower as the horses walk the cobbled streets.

It's a great product fits well with room, exactly as shown.

Smoking Jacket fit perfectly, comfy. Enjoyed all the hot dressed up girls touching the jacket. Great conversation starter with anyone. The color was more red than burgundy. I wonder if I was shopped the red on accident. I do like the color.

I was disappointed in the smoking jacket. The color was more red than burgundy. It did not match the color of the example on your website. The other thing that bothered me was that it's not velvet. It's made of polyester fabric. Maybe you should describe it as velvet-like. Editor's Note - The content of the fabric is listed in the description. It is a velvet finished fabric made of polyester.

Quality was good, color was much lighter in person. But overall it is all good.

My husband loved it

I bought it for my husband for Christmas, he loves it !!!

This is so debonair. Wearing this smoking jacket too much would be abusing the privilege to wear it at all lol.

Very poor quality material .It looks, feels and is made of plastic fibers .Shiny and cheap.

This jacket is terrific - made the perfect Christmas gift for my tall, elderly father who had recently said he always wanted a jacket like this. Excellent quality and fit, and at a very reasonable price - I shopped around the internet extensively and this site's prices and product offering were the best.

... I coupled it with a Spencer vest... & a chrome pocket watch and chain draped over the middle... More.

As with many of the items I have ordered from this site, I ordered this to wear to a friend's themed birthday party but will use it for many more social functions. It is very well made and looks great. It will make a great alternative to the more traditional tux. I got so many compliments on the smoking jacket that people forgot to complain about the smell of the cigars I was smoking. Now I'm just waiting for the matching smoking cap.

Very well made! Wish I had ordered one size larger, but should lose a little weight anyway...

Way better quality than the smoking jackets website - and 1/2 the price too! It's the smoking jacket I've been looking for - now I just have to find some mutton chops to go with it.

Fit was well as well as quality.

Love it. I bought this to wear in a local production of Mel Brooks' "The Producers". It was perfect.

The material in the sleeves & back should be heavier. Other than that you need larger sizes. The 4XL fits in the chest, but not in the belly.

My husband has been wanting this smoking jacket for 2 years. I finally bought it for him for his birthday. The quality and workmanship is even better than I expected. It does not look cheap at all.

I am so glad I ordered this jacket from Historical Emporium! It shipped out to me in about 2 days which was incredibly fast. It came packaged very neatly on a hanger and also had plastic covering to protect it from dust, all I had to do was open it and hang it until I was ready to use it. It is exactly as shown on the photo, great material and my husband received many compliments! He wore it as part of a Gomez Addams halloween costume. Great service and great product! I would highly recommend this!

It's very comfortable and reasonably priced. It's a great looking and classy jacket for evening entertainment at home when one doesn't want to be too formal - but not too casual nor sloppy either. Highly recommended!

My boyfriend loves it! Very unique, beautifully made, well fitted, comfortable and regal! He wore it to his company's New Year's eve event and the complements were endless! Definitely a statement when worn out but also nice for classy evening at home and having a scotch in style. Soft fabric feels good to the touch as well.

What a find. Smoking jackets are making a strong comeback but this one with frogging beats all others I've seen. Well made and good price. I should get another!

I had been looking for a smoking jacket with frog closures, and this was a great find. High quality and it is gorgeous! Fit was right on and it seems very well made.

I bought it for my husband and he loves it!!! He looks like a gentleman from the 1950's. I got a L and fits perfect.

Vintage Smoking Jacket received was of better quality than expected for the price. Fits perfectly and is definitely a conversation starter. Does the job of minimizing cigar odor from my clothing. I am very pleased.

It was perfect, and delivered in a very timely fashion. Thank you.

The design of the jacket is very nice, but the fabric choice is very bad. The polyester has a lustre which really cheapens the look of the garment. It would have been better in a cotton velvet

I have worn this sport coat several times. It fits very well and is the more modern slimmer fit through the arms and is very comfortable. The coat is well made and makes a good appearance. It's too good for wearing while smoking cigars: I'd hate to burn a hole in it!

This is a great jacket. Excellent quality for the price. Will probably be picking up a second one.

Ordered this jacket in size 42L as a gift for my son. He weighs 190 lbs, and stands 6ft 2in. The jacket fit perfectly. The quality and cut of the jacket are exceptional in every way. My son says he has never felt more "dashing." He intends to wear it at home, and also when he goes out.

Much higher quality than expected. Was originally going to use this as an actual smoking Jaker at home but it is of such high quality that I wear it out quite a bit.

Glad to have this item,for either indoors or outdoors

Heavier weight. Fine construction. Worth much more than I paid. A funny thing happened, though. I instantly grew a pencil-thin moustache when I opened the box. Strange.

My order arrived quickly and I was greatly impressed by the quality of the jacket, stunning! I hope they soon become available in the same cut in more colors because this jacket in burgundy would be beautiful. Just putting a bug inn someone's ear...hint hint. ;-)

Great! Exactly what I was looking for to wear for the Holidays. The quality of the garment is exceptional.

This is the nicest jacket I that I have ever bought. It is well worth the money. It looks wonderful and the velvet is has a great feel to it. The fit could not be better. It is very true to size. If you want to look very dapper in a smoking jacket, then this is the one for you. I would recommend this jacket and Historical Emporium to anyone.

Great quality!! This coat is exactly what I was looking for. Its warm and well made. I have bought 5 coats from this site and have been pleased every time. Great service and fast delivery. thanks.

First, why would anyone buy the jacket? Once you get past that let me tell you that the day it arrived, I slipped it on and grabbed a book and hit the Lazyboy. Up here in Michigan the evenings are brutal in the winter and the older one gets, the more so. This jacket was so warm and comfortable. Fit like a charm and so stylish. I'm so pleased with the fit and the quality. well worth the price. It's like going back in time. sometimes that's a good thing!

Loved the purple velvet vintage smoking jacket! I purchased this jacket for my fiance' for Christmas and he loved it! The quality of the jacket was way above what I was expecting! Very well made!

I purchased this for my husband's birthday, we're both very happy with it. He is size XL with broad shoulders and the XL fits perfectly. The material is a bit thinner than I was imagining but the extra padding in the front ensures it hangs well. The buttons and lapel are very classy. For the price it was a great buy.

It is an outstanding jacket, it was loved out on the town... Nothing but good feedback!

THIS JACKET BRINGS BACK SOME OLD, BUT FOND MEMORIES! HE HAD ONE IN THE EARLY '70'S. ROCK ON

There's nothing quite like a classic smoking jacket. And this one is TOO classic AND classy. I'm so very pleased with the quality, the look, and the sheer awesomeness of this garment. It totally exceeds my expectations. And...the chicks really dig it, too. Bravo!

Nice material, classic look, solid construction, moves well... yeah, it's a lovely piece. And the delivery was pretty much immediate, and I live in deep Alaska, and never get that kind of service. The only down side is that I spent this much on a smoking jacket...

The "velvet" and fancy loopholes are so fun. Bought as kind of a gag gift for a friend for his 50th - he loved it!!! Quality is good for the price. So fun and over the top. Purple is vibrant. Also bought paisley ascot with it - great!

The jacket is too stiff and I don't like the button loops.

Hi to all at Historical Emporium: I'm glad to see you provide a space for comments. For it is something I've always felt is important in improving quality of service and/or the quality of a product. For in the end, it is the customers and/or clients that make a business. The Vintage Smoking Jacket- Purple Velvet is stunning yet elegant. It will turn customer's eyes upon the entry of my new business to be. The only thing I'm not happy about is that the inside lining stiffens up the smoking jacket. The inside lining has a 'crackling' sound as well which, makes it sound not attractive. The appearance on your website gives the smoking jacket a softer yet flowing look and that's what I expected. But I , also, understand that buying off the internet is always taking a risk. So, being very descriptive about a product will help give a larger image of what to expect. Otherwise, I'm 80% happy with the jacket. Thank you for asking for my input.

This was a gift for my brother. Great looking, my brother loved it. I bought my husband a different smoking jacket that was about $20 more, from the same store, and was blow away by the quality of his. Both jackets were incredible unique gifts.

I thought that the jacket quality was ok but fell short of the steep pricetag

I really wanted to like this jacket. Upon unpacking I have to say that the color is awesome and it really shines. However, as soon as I put the jacket on it was clear that the materials and construction were very cheap. The foam or padding in the shoulders made a "ruffling noise" when it moved, and just the overall feel was cheap and nasty. I returned mine, and true to their word this was easy and no questions asked.

You get what you pay for; this is cheap and looks cheaper in real life. It's a very shiny polyester velvet and not stitched well so it's lumpy.

The quality of this far exceeded what I was expecting for the price. The fit was slightly off but the return was accepted without issue and a better fitting size was sent, even though it was my lack of measuring skills causing the mix up. Great jacket I wear often while leading guided History Tours and it lends an incredible look to what I am doing, leading to many compliments. Excellent customer service as well.

This is a beautiful jacket. It fits perfectly and is of very high quality, which I appreciate as the price is reasonable. This is a great jacket to wear for a night on the town.

Great jacket! Looks great and fit was true to size.

While this jacket could technically pass for a Victorian smoking jacket, it is definitely a modern blazer. I have a huge fondness for velvet blazers because they are so versatile. In terms of evening wear, a velvet blazer can be paired with a shirt and tie (especially a bow tie) for a formal event, or it can be paired with a trendy tshirt and jeans for an informal event. This jacket is very handsome, expertly tailored, and will definitely attract a lot of attention. It also comes from Italy, where velvet has been made for centuries. So you can expect the quality to be quite high. These jackets can be very expensive, so this very affordable jacket is definitely entry level, but it still has the high quality tailoring you would expect to come from Italy. Once I get the funds, I will definitely purchase another one.

I love this jacket. I've ordered many times from Historical Emporium and have always been extremely pleased with the products, delivery time and customer service.

The jacket is made of good quality material and was very quick to arrive after placing the order. My husband loves the jacket and it's a perfect fit. Thank you!

The three adjectives I've used in the review title pretty much say it all. The midnight blue velvet is rich and lush, a thick texture as well as being quite easy on the eye; the colour is superb. The sizing was also spot on - it fit like a glove on taking it out of the box; a moment of marvellous serendipity! Highly recommended in terms of look and construction (it's quite durable as well as attractive and a fortuitous fit), it breaks up a predominantly black-suited work wardrobe with a bit of dash and savoir-faire!

I'm really pleased with this jacket. It's very well made and the velvet is very plush. Though I bought it specifically for a costume event, it's nice enough that I can wear it as a casual jacket.

This was a holiday gift and I am so glad I selected this one. I made my purchase based on customer reviews and I was not disappointed. Easy order, fast shipping, just as advertised. Size is true to chart (in my instance anyway). Very pleased, so much so that it was worn with ascot to NYE semi-formal and looked GREAT. Worth the price, very well made.

Love it!!! Really love it. Out on the town or dinner parties.. Where the guys go for a cigar after dinner.

The velvet jacket is lovely and gorgeous. I wish the purple one were available.

I was amazed when the product arrived, great quality, perfect fit!

Fantastic smoking jacket. An instant classic. Can't wait for the first cool autumn evening to wear it. Very well made, a terrific value, and extremely comfortable.

This velvet jacket is a fantastic coat to add to your wardrobe. It's extremely comfortable and pleasant to look at. Overall, I'd recommend.

I ordered the jacket as a surprise gift. When it arrived I was more than pleased with the quality and he absolutely loves it.

Appropriately sized, excellent quality, color as expected from online pictures.

A great jacket for wearing at home. This is not for going out in. It would be like going to the movies in your pyjamas. Strictly for your own home

I was more than impressed with this absolutely beautiful jacket! The fit was PERFECT for my man. It was a wedding gift for him. He LOVED it!

Bought for a Gomez Addams costume. Perfect fit (usually am a medium but bought the small, and fit well).

Very nice. Fit as expected, good fit. Really sharp and got plenty of compliments. It was just what I wanted.

Well made product. Good fit.

Purchased this for my boyfriend who is a self-proclaimed "fancy man". He has not stopped wearing this to smoke cigars since I gave it to him. It's decent quality and it looks great. Pair it with an ascot and you'll look super fancy :).

Very nice quality. Does not look like a costume. Great buy!

What a hit! This went over at our smoking dinner like James Bond.

Great fit and comfortable. The buttons are a little hard to fasten, but otherwise workmanship seems very fine.

Bought it for my boss. He loves it and looks so darn fancy!

I looked at several smoking jackets, and this one won hands down... The material and workmanship is outstanding, and I would recommend it to anyone that likes old school...

Fantastic quality, concerning the price. Great speed for delivery !! a very reliable company.

A well made jacket. Fine quality. Really nice. Size is accurate except I forgot my slightly robust (fat) belly. I fit into the jacket but am about 1/2 inch too fat. But can button all the buttons with one a little snug. Have lost weight this past week so with another couple of pounds off I won't fear shooting a button off and knocking someone out. Well worth getting. Larger size would've been too large in the shoulders but fine around my portly self. Glad I found your site.

I bought this jacket for my husband as a gift. The fit was correct and the fabric and stitching seem to be of good quality. The rich color is exactly as it was in the picture. My husband is very happy with the jacket as am I. Regards E.P.M

Great looking jacket, great fit, good material. This jacket was a cut above what I expected for the price. Fit was spot on, only requiring a simple adjustment to sleeve length. I'm very pleased with this purchase.

I've been fascinated by smoking jackets since I was a kid, watching old black and white movies. Every now and then I'd search for one, but they were either threadbare used ones, cheap costume types, or way too expensive modern day versions. Happened upon Historical Emporium and took a chance and ordered their vintage version. Love it! The material and construction are high quality. Looks and feels like it should cost a whole lot more. But the most important thing? Well, the difference between having a smoke, and having a smoke in this jacket is something that can't quite be explained, it just has to be experienced.

I bought this jacket as a gift for someone special who has always wanted a smoking jacket, and what a successful gift! Had to return an XL for an L; the L fits the recipient very nicely. The brocade isn't too gaudy; it's a nice, rich green. The collar and detailing are terrific. Perfect for changing into after an intense day, to enjoy a whiskey and good conversation. While it doesn't have the detailing of some other smoking jackets offered on this site, it holds its own with a mixture of elegance, dignity, and color.

This is a superb jacket, fit for any gentleman. I've been shopping at the Historical Emporium for several years now, and have never been disappointed. The products are always well made. However, the other thing to note about this particular jacket, is that it might appear a shade or so brighter online than IRL. Again, the jacket is absolute quality, but it just might not be as vibrant than you expect. Other than that, I am quite pleased with my purchase and would shop again!

I'm a first time buyer at Historical Emporium and I could not be more impressed with their Customer Service, Quality of their Products, Speed of Shipping, and their Great Prices. I'm a "Large Man" (size 48+), and anyone in my size range knows that buying clothing at these sizes can be a hit and miss experience at best. XL and 2XL (and above) are NEVER the same from different suppliers, and many times not consistent within the same supplier. I found a "Smoking Jacket" at H.E. ON SALE and I contacted C/S to help me decide on a size. The rep was knowledgeable, patient, and VERY helpful with making my decision on which size to buy. I followed H.E.'s sizing guide and the advice of the Customer Service and when I received my garment A DAY EARLY - it was a spot-on PERFECT FIT! AND the item was a level of HIGH quality I was not expecting and at a price-point that was almost ridiculously low. I WILL BE GOING BACK TO HISTORICAL EMPORIUM for several additional purchases. For fit, quality, price, and speed of shipping Historical Emporium cannot be beat.

This jacket is f-ing awesome. The fit is like custom, the material is great and the look will get you picked up in no time. I bartend in a theatre and the compliments and stares from the patrons are non stop. My wife has started to come to the theatre when I work just to be sure I come straight home afterwards...of course she likes to drink and uses watching me as an excuse. Anyways you will look like a million dollars in this thing just like me. I think Historical Emporium will send me the $200. photo prize just because I look so freaking good in it. Way to go Historical Emporium. It has the ability to take 20 years off my appearance. (That leaves me in my early 50's.)

A real l fine quality jacket True to size. A very nice rich red, not maroon or plum. You will not be disappointed. Unfortunately I ordered a size smaller since they were out of the size I needed, and it was small. So order your true size. Great company and customer service.
