quick service, excellent quality, and the fit was perfect

Had to period-match a suit on short notice, and Historical Emporium came through big time! Shipping was very fast, and I was very satisfied with the quality of the garment. Thank you!

Recommend this shirt, very smart

Very good quality textile. Crafted as well as any modern-made shirt. It should last a long time. Because of the full-cut, I will need to have the sleeves shortened, but that was expected.

This is a well made shirt which fits my actor perfectly. He is the lead in Bunbury.

Surprised by excellent quality!

Well made.

This is a casual shirt with a simplistic, frontier style that I like a lot. The color was lighter than I expected - but this is good because I find I can wear it with all of the vests and dungarees of different colors that I have. The fit of this shirt is loose and comfy. The back stitching has a great, subtle, frontier look. Perhaps this shirt can be made in the color black? I think the style of this shirt plus the color black would give it a very dramatic look.

Very comfortable and well sized.

Shirt seems to be well constructed and fabric is quite lightweight, great for summer. It is too big however. Ordered a Large for my neck size, which is a 16, and I can fit my hand into the collar. I sadly threw away the tags and packaging before I could really try it on with the vest I bought previously, so unreturnable. It's a good shirt, nice metal buttons, but if you buy one, size down!

Fits perfect and very comfortable.

The design is fine, but the material is thin and it pills. Costly for the quality.

This is comfortable and looks great! It didn't shrink when machine washed and feels great to wear. I think the sizing is perfect.

Great shirt. Runs large, though.

The size large (my usual size) was too big. The sleeve s were too long. Reordered a medium and it was just right. Thanks for the prompt shipping.

The shirt is very nice , The only problem is it runs Large. My husband usually wears a Large and sometimes a XL so I ordered a Large and it was huge had to send it back for a medium. Received the second one with in a week of sending it back.

I believe smaller mother of pearl buttons would have been more authentic.

Wearing to a wedding with my Livingston frock coat and pants. Perfect XL fit, it is a tad lightweight but will be comfortable and have more body when I starch and iron it.

Trip to Mackinac with my daughter in period clothing. My suit was perfect. Hat it hemmed and tweaked by my tailor who was extremely complimentary about the quality delivered

Charles Dickens Christmas Fair 2023

Daily public attire.

Perfect for formal wear and using it for a cemetery tour I was involved with. Just don’t do like I did measure you neck size and go with it. I ordered my usual dress shirt size and it was way too big.

Although I have not worn it yet, I did try it on. It fits well, the sizing guide was correct. The only disappointment was the buttons. I had to change them out to white bone buttons, which I will again change out to white glass buttons when I have more time. When trying to recreate a period look, clear plastic buttons is not the way to go. Otherwise no complaints. It shipped faster than I thought it wood and seemed to have it overnight.

Good quality shirt and ample arm length for the taller man

Wish the sleeves were 1-2 inches shorter. Will use garters or rubber bands to address issue. Sleeves to long for size based on neck fit.

This is a quality product! When the product arrives, the material feels thin; but after one run through the laundry the material fills out and you can appreciate the quality of the cotton and the stitching. MAKE SURE that you measure yourself using the instructions provided at Historical Emporium's web site for best fit. If you find yourself at the larger end of the sizing, go a size up as a loose fit will look more authentic and will be more comfortable. You will have to iron this shirt, it is 100% cotton. I have found it best to tumble dry for a few minutes to remove excess water, then hang dry for best wear. Hope this helps.

We ordered per the size chart and the size L was actually larger than the chart says (in the neck measurement). So, we had to send it back and order a medium. Medium fits perfectly. Looks great with his Victorian tux and tails costume for historical dancing. Thank you!

I love wing collars and the addition of the cuff-link and stud option to a 100% cotton Victorian dress shirt was a very welcome and wise change to this product. I am delighted with my purchase and wear it often. In fact, I am wearing it (with the Guilford waistcoat) as I write this review. I will almost certainly pick up a second at some point.

Excellent item for historically accurate period costume and versatile to use as a “modern” tux shirt.

Material was to thin. Returned for refund.

Great shirt. Fit perfectly. Good quality. Included a nice metal button for the collar.

Irish festival will never be the same. Wore a full dress kilt, vest,waistcoat,and blackthorn walking stick.

I use this as an undergarment for an 18th century character in an educational program. I ordered the smallest size available but it is still a bit large for me. It will do since it is mostly covered up. I mainly wanted it for the ruffles.

I bought this shirt to wear as part of a pirate costume for a costume ball. It fits nicely and I like the material. The neck is a little tight, but they said it would be. My wife made some minor alterations there, which helps a lot.

Neck and arm length, 3 of the sizes all have the sale neck???

Beautiful shirt, speedy dealivery, gift for son who loved it.

The final step in creating my "The Duellists" look. After the first wash it smoothed right ou and came out incredibly soft. I'm fighting the urge to dye the jobot black, to match that worn by Harvey Keitel, because it looks so good just the way that it is :)

Very happy with our purchase. Shirt is comfortable and washes up great. Great addition to our wardrobe.

I've been looking for a shirt/jabot like this for a long time, and this one is just right! Material feels great, just the right amount of flair, and a great fit.

Great shirt that works well with slightly earlier period clothing. Lace cuffs are great peeking out from an 18th century style coat. Jabot took a little figuring out but once attachment system was understood, no problems.

Fits well, great comments on it, exactly what I wanted

I was looking for an appropriate shirt to wear with my Heroes of 76 uniform. This one fits the bill with a fancy addition. The shirt fits nicely and the jabot is easy putting on and taking off. Looks real nice with my uniform. Thank you!

This shirt is very well stitched and constructed. The sleeves have ample extra fabric for both the width and length, as would be appropriate for this style, and the lace is a decent length as well so that it would extend beyond the cuffs of a frock coat style. Although not made of natural fibers, the rayon fabric is soft and not too heavy and is comfortable to wear. This shirt could also pass for a late 17th early 18th-century formal shirt, with a different jabot. Highly recommended.

I love the shirt......!!!!!!! Fits great !!! Looks great as well !!!!!

Bought this to pair with Historical Emporium's red and black Cavalier vest and it works perfectly. Love the shirt. Only minor critical comment is that I would have preferred a little less lace on the cuffs. However, that's just my personal opinion, and I would still give the shirt five stars. Well made and drapes well on the body. It does the job.

I was happy with the product. I ordered the s/m size and I am 5'9" and 175 lbs and thought it fit well. Wish it was cotton though.

I bought this for an Old West event and I love it. Fits great and well made. Fast shipping too.

Really like these shirts. Price was right and added another color.

This is the second item I have purchased from The Emporium and I was once again delighted with the quality and sizing as both were as advertised. I am particularly happy with the style which is unique and presented in a quality garment.

Shirt originally ordered was large. Too big. Returned and reordered medium in green. perfect fit and color.

very comfortable to wear and fit is as they say it is! fallow their sizing chart and the fit is bang on

I ordered two of these shirts to supplement my work wardrobe and I couldn't be more pleased. Very attractive shirts, very comfortable, worn with or without a vest. Heads up though, wash separately several times.

This shirt is amazing. Lots of attention to details. Color is beautiful. This is going with black pants. Be ready to take them up as the length is long so that it can fit more sizes. I am going to tack them up on the inside. Very pleased with the quality and fit.

High priced but good clothing.

Perfect and well made. Great for Santa's workshop look.

A good, dependable work shirt. No real collar to speak of, if you're planning on neckwear. I have two now.

Comfortable fit, excellent quality.

Great shirt, very well made. However it wouldn't work with my puff tie so beware the collar will be for no tie.

This shirt was just as described. I'm impressed by the quality and it really looks great. I'll be happy to wear it. The fit is larger than I thought it would be compared to what my normal shirts are but it's nothing to complain about. Just make sure you get the measurement and don't order the same as you would a modern one.

I finally found a shirt I have been looking for awhile. My wife and I are looking for an opportunity for me to wear this soon! Great addition to a men's wardrobe.

I had looked at wing tip shirts at our local mall and found a couple to choose from but the fit was not what was needed. These shirts buttoned completely down the front and did not give the look I wanted. The shirt from Historical Emporium is a mock button up (actually a pull-over) and as such is cut fuller than a modern shirt. The material used is better than the average dress shirt but not of the finest quality. The wing tip collar is not as pronounced as the shirts I found at the mall but does look good with the tie I selected for my costume. The fullness of the body is easily hidden by wearing a vest over the shirt. Overall, this is an excellent choice and I feel you will be pleased with your purchase.

Took the advice of other reviewers to opt for one size smaller than my husband normally wears and the shirt fits beautifully! Fits as if it was tailored for him. Quality clothing, not just a costume.

I recently ordered a jacket and could not find my dress shirt that was to be worn at our daughter's wedding. I ordered he shirt and requested a 'quick ship' to ensure the shirt would arrive in time for the BIG EVENT. The shirt was shipped amazingly fast and arrive in plenty of time for the wedding. A beautiful shirt, well designed and manufactured. Great job Historic Emporium!!!

I am a bigger guy, and made sure to order a size to big in order to have some comfort room, i orered a 4x wight tee, the collar is extremely to big. i am forced to have it altered.

Much better looking and more to the period for our daughters wedding. We originally was just looking at a generic tux shirt, but this one is the way to go especially when you add the suspenders...husband looks...Hubba Hubba!

Nicely made with high quality materials. Looks great. I could step out of the time machine in 1906 and blend right in!

Great shirts! Fit well, quickly delivered. I will get some more!

Looked smart and classic with the costume. Thank you.

I recently ordered a number of items from GE. Most were absolutely excellent, whereas this item was merely average in terms of quality of construction. Still, I would recommend this product to friends.

What more can be said than terrific!

I love this shirt even more than the Dress shirt I purchased previously. Fits perfectly and looks so stylish with my vest and silk tie. I love the clothes from this site. There's nothing like THIS in Australia.

Very historical accurate!!

No nonsense, perfect fitting, awesome shirt!

Shirt was to enhance my Victorian style of Santa suit. Worked perfectly. Customer service is outstanding.

This year, I decided to start looking into becoming Santa Claus. There are a lot of interesting articles of clothing available here that would add some unique twists to the standard Santa aesthetic, and I was inspired by the C. Kringle outfit that featured the Fundamental Work Shirt, but I liked the forest green color better. The loose fit allows me to wear the shirt over my body pad comfortably, and the color is a beautiful contrast to the red of my suit.

I purchased a 3x the first time and i loved it. But i decided to go 4x. Love my shirt. Fits grest. Feels good. Looks good. I'm planning to purchase others. 1 a month!!

Plastic buttons are out of true period, but works.

I work at a living history facility which means I have to do real trade work in historically appropriate clothes. This shirt was good, not superb but good. The stitching is alright, but the fabric is sheer enough to see through in bright light. It will do for light work.

Fantastic

I gave this shirt to my Beloved for his birthday along with pants, suspenders and some ties. He liked them very much and I did get him an XL…he is broad shouldered; I would suggest to size up for comfort. He usually wears a 17 1/2, 32 sleeve. Very handsome top. Washed in cold, air dried. Retained shape and colour very well.

Shirt is a nice color. I ordered the 4x which is what I normally wear in a Scully shirt. This one fits much snugger than the Scully. If it shrinks at all will be too small. Will not order again.

A nice-looking shirt, somewhat short in the body length, but still just long enough. The pleating in the front which looks nice and gives the shirt a bit of style also makes the shirt smaller around the chest, that needs to be considered when ordering it. I will be wearing it to an historical event this coming Sunday and will be washing it and I hope that all things turn out well, too much shrinking would render the shirt useless. We will see.

I love this shirt for my more casual outings! I was a little worried about the slight puff to the sleeves, but once it arrived, I thought it was great. I wear Historical Emporium clothing as part of my regular ensemble and this shirt is great for more rugged canvas pants and a more casual waistcoat.

I have 2 other "Fundamental Work Shirts in other colors. All 3 are excellent and comfortable. The workmanship is excellent. This Forest Green one is a gorgeous color. I use all of my Historical Emporium clothing while Cowboy Action Shooting.

This shirt fits wonderfully. It is period in fit which means it is loose. Very forgiving if you are heavy. I am a huge fan of henleys, wearing them normally so this shirt is just right for me.

Bought a forest green Fundamental work shirt and it is very comfortable for hot weather as the fabric is not real heavy. Fits loose and airy, just what I was looking for.

Great fit, very comfortable, terrific look! Two thumbs WAY up!

quality seems to be great. Can´t wait to try it on when weather is gettin hot. I´d imagine that this shirt is going to be one of my favorits in next summer shooting events. Sizing was right on for me.

I just returned from Tombstones "Helldorado Days" where I wanted to get my photo taken with the Earp brothers and Doc Holliday. I had wonderful black Frontier Classics trousers, red apache scarf, grey tweed vest and white banded collar shirt. I ended up hating the shirt. It made me feel like I was choking. I bought the Sinclair Edwardian shirts in all the colors available and LOVE them. With the proper ties I can leave the collar unbuttoned, breathe and still look good.

Very good product and professional services.

The shirt is excellent and fits so well. I like the quality and it feels good to wear. Very nice shirt, keep up the quality!

The shirt has a generous cut and is tailored beautifully. This shop is superior in offerings and in customer service. Well Done

I most recently had the opportunity to attend a “Black Tie Chic” event. I did not want to purchase an entire tuxedo- what do to? I turned to the myriad of shirts at Historical Emporium to put together a “look”. To include the Tuxedo-look of the Sinclair Edwardian Club Collar Shirt and Gold Vest. Well let me tell you I looked sensational- some folks came up to me and said I looked dapper. I was worried about size but the shirt xxl fit fine- great cotton feel. I did have a bit of a problem with the vest - which I will comment later. Bottom line - I will definitely be a repeat customer. Thank you.

Ordered the Sinclair Edwardian Club Collar Shirt - Black in 2x as per sizing instructions, it was a perfect fit, looks awesome. Recently wore it with the Emerald Isle Vest and Emerald Isle Puff Tie, was told it looked "Very dapper"

Beautiful shirt with detail. Fits true to size.

Old time clothes are classy. People nowadays don't know how to dress. Thanks to Historical Emporium, I can achieve the look I desire. Either modern-day or historically.

The shirt was supposed to be and feel midiam. But it felt large. Didn't fit me right.

I ordered this and several other items for my daughter's upcoming wedding. The entire package arrived several days earlier than expected, and I was skeptical of the purchase, but once receiving all the items I realized the material quality was high the fit was perfect and the price was great. I could not have bought a suit for the same price. I am amazed at the outstanding customer service from historical Emporium. I even had to change my pants size day after I ordered and it was corrected and I received the proper fit.

I paid for fast delivery and it was on my door step the next day! Tried it on the actor yesterday and he was very happy to have a proper shirt to wear for the show!!!! Thank you for making life a lot easier for me!

I like Frontier Classics shirts except that the sleeves are usually too short for me. I’m over 6’ 2” with longer than average arms and legs. The fact that Historical Emporium stocks extra long, or ‘Tall’, versions of the shirts is perfect. I haven’t found them anywhere else (which is why I bought the shirt from them rather than from a supplier in the UK). I wish the long versions of Frontier Classics shirts were more widely available because this one I’ve bought is very good.

I enjoy this shirt. looks good with costumes, washes well and fits well.

I do period recreations and Steampunk cosplay. I needed a shirt for a new cosplay not to dissimilar to the office outfits worn on The Gilded Age on HBO Max. This shirt is very close to what I was looking for and the price was not bad. It matched the frock and waist coat I got for the cosplay very well. Understand in period, many white shirts were off white and not stark white. I love the texture and color difference. If you are looking for a more casual Late Victorian/Edwardian shirt, this will do the trick.

One of my favorite shirts. Fits perfectly, and looks great. Good quality, and great for those who want that true western 1800's look. It also looks great with my antique 1879 A.W. Co. Waltham with key pocket watch. Would recommend!

Online comments said the shirt fits on the large size so I went with the fit chart and bought a medium instead of the usual large and it fits perfect. Plenty of shoulder room and arm length is exact. Beautifully made. Shipping was really fast to Canada.

Very good quality, nice and breezy and handy for summer. And the collar style makes it versatile, so you're paying for two different shirts in one. It's quite baggy around the stomach but a waistcoat takes care of that. I ordered 2XL and it fits me perfectly, which is pretty good for something I bought online. With the collars starched up, I think it probably looks best with a deluxe western-style bowtie or a cravat.

For a 2xl I found the neck to be quite small, but still satisfactory.

This shirt fit well, was a basic style that covers many eras, the cost was right, the sleeves and cuffs were decent. I may get another as a spare. If you are tall, as I am, make sure you note that somewhere on the form. I did, and was rewarded with the longer fit at the waist...

This shirt has a small round collar, a pleated bib front and is made with some room in the shoulders, arms and back. It is beautiful, appropriate for formal and informal occasions and is very comfortable to wear. It is 100% cotton and is machine washable! No dry cleaning necessary! You can wear this shirt with a pair of jeans and look great! It is truly a classic! Thank you for your excellent products and fabulous quality!

Well made shirt perfect for all occasions!

I am very pleased with my shirt. It looks great and fits perfectly. My wife and I were very impressed, and a bit surprised, at how quickly it was shipped.

Ordered on 30th of May from the UNITED KINGDOM,Arrived at my door 11th June,very impressed, I've been looking for this style of shirt here in U.K. but have not had much success I.e. Seen plenty with the white collar but sleeve cuffs have been same colour as the rest of the garment,nice feel to the material and all round good fit for me,perhaps cuffs could be made to accommodate cufflinks but in no way is this a criticism,Five Stars all the way from me as far as I'm concerned.Thank you.

After my initial purchase from historical Emporium for my steampunk ensemble, I realized that these were fine quality shirts to be wearing every day. The style is very authentic, late 1800's, and the fit and quality are superb. I highly recommend their shirts and trousers for everyday wear; it's a good look for me, and can be for you too.

excellent fitted perfectly

Great shirt - well made and true to size. Very satisfied

excellent shirt-- took the collar off to make it a banded collar---more colors like burgundy and white would be great

Good to go. I will definetly buy again. Good job. Adios

Excellent, I will shop again without hesitation.

This is a very professional-looking dress shirt. The white cuffs and collars give it a touch of elegance. Definitely wear it with a vest, but this shirt looks good both with and without a tie.
