I wore a light coloured one with a vest, cravat, and Métis sash (cultural attire) years ago at my wedding and wanted colored versions I could wear for other nice occasions. The sleeves are a bit puffier than I remembered but if paired with the correct vest or coat they will be fine. Overall a fine purchase and could build a decent wardrobe around this kind of shirt.

Great fit and color

Everything good about the shirt. The good thing about the band collar shirts is that they work so easily with bandanas. The bandanas lay just right when there is no collar in the way. All good!

You will not get a better value

The shirt is well made and was represented accurately online.

Great shirt, works well with Steampunk! Soft cotton and fits very well.

Awesome shade with extremely comfortable cotton and stitching. I wear it all the time.Going to get some of the other colors.

Very good quality. Fits perfectly thanks to the sizing guide.

Some week ago, I received my latest order, the Chocolate-colored Fundamental Work Shirt. What can I say, no loss in quality regarding this item, on the contrary in fact. The fabric feels terrific when I wear the shirt. It has a warm brown color, which actually isn't done justice in the pics online. I'll definitely order some more colors of this shirt.

The fundamental work shirt fits great and gives a great look and feel for the Steampunk Victorian look I needed. I am very happy with the shirt I purchased.

Great old west shirt. Awesome work and fit. Would recommend this company to anyone looking for good quality and price.

Very comfortable, only have one wish that there was a pocket on this or a similar type shirt.

This is a very well made shirt i will be buying more in the future.

lots of compliments, might as well send a few dozen business cards. everyone wants to know where i got the shirt, tired of writing it down for them.

Beautiful ole western shirt! Wife loved it! Thank you Historical Emporium.

WOW! What a surprise! This is a claimed "work" shirt; but, if you're waring this shirt while you're working, you be workin' IN STYLE! The workmanship of this shirt is awesome. The embroidery around the neck and chest is exquisite. I ordered it for a Civil War reenactor uniform shirt. Our unit is finally going to "Exact" uniform standards and this shirt will more than amply do the job!

These shirts are purchased for my husband as a work shirt. The quality is excellent. He loves these shirts and wants one in every color. This makes his 6th shirt. He has four already that he has worn / lasted for three years so far and has a lot more wear to go. I just purchased two more and he loves the colors and wants more!!!

High quality and I actually wear it to work during the week. these shirts are part of my normal work wardrobe.

The quality is phenomenal. I have to purchase more.

I like this shirt because the fabric is good, the double stitching is good, and the fit and feel of this XL, somewhat puffy shirt is excellent.

This shirt is excellently made from high quality fabric. My husband looks very handsome in it.

I ordered this shirt and it was on my doorstep in no time at all. I was so pleased when I opened the shirt"s package and tried it on. Fits perfectly. I was so happy with the first one ( NAVY BLUE ) that I ordered a (Aqua colored) one right away. It also was on my doorstep in no time at all and it fits perfectly. I'm impressed with the quality of the shirt and the service I received. When I want other old western style shirts or pants I will be coming back here to buy

The navy shirt has quite a distinct cut, slightly more full than the red workman's (forgot name) I purchased earlier. I am equally pleased with this shirt as the last, and will be looking for a deep green one next. By the way, they wash beautifully, but bleed til second wash, so just wash with darks..and do NOT dry. Hanging them to dry has left the style and size intact. Off to shop...

Nice shirt need one in wine color size XL Very happy with the item I purchased in the passed

I love the shirt! It fits pretty well, and the sizing chart is accurate.

excellent shirt fit and color

A very fine shirt.

Material feels substantial but comfy; sleeves give lots of room to move; comfy neck and cuffs; nice detailing. The only point I would EMPHASIZE is that it MUST be washed in cold water. The pleat detailing beside the button band reduces the stretch across the chest. It is not forgiving - esp. if you shrink the shirt by washing it in warm water (like I did). I tried to order a larger one in navy, but it was not available.

Wish it was made in America, I would pay more for a shirt made in America!!!!

Just replacing some of the other items that I have bought from you before everything is in good looks good that's good and a great quality

So I work at a chocolate factory and we were testing a new batch of cherry flavored chocolate. I personally hate the taste but it tested good in focus groups. Anyways, I split hot fudge and it blended right into my shirt. I decided to jump in and the supervisor hasn't found me for 3 days. The camouflage is just too good.

I have to dress period

This shirt was my Christmas present for myself. I know, a bit selfish! But it was well worth it! It feels good, looks good, and is worth every dollar! Merry Christmas to me!

Shipping was very fast. Fit, finish, and sizing of this product is excellent. Historically very appropriate for last quarter of the 19th Century. A little fancy for a work shirt but perhaps a "go to meeting" shirt. I like it. I have purchased clothing from Historical Emporium, for years, to do historic shooting with Single Action Shooting Society and National Congress of Old West Ssootists. I have yet to be diappointed. I have only praise for everything I have purchased and for Historical Emporium. You will not go wrong with this company.

I recieved this shirt faster than expected. I have checked it over very well and it is of fine quality. I tried it on and the fit is excellent. I have yet to wear it, but if the multitude of olther clothing from Historical Emporium is any indication, I am sure it will wear well and I will be very pleased.

I work in the blacksmith shop at Historic Camden Park in Camden, SC and so I own several Early American type work shirts. The shirts I have from Historical Emporium are my "go to" shirts. They are well made, rugged and great to work in. The Lamar Work shirt in Burgundy is my fifth and most recent purchase and I get compliments on it each time I wear it. For the money, I don't think you can beat these shirts.

I have bought four shirts off this site. Everyone has been of high quality. This shirt once again is superb, a little heavier than a cotton shirt but soft. The design on the front is subtle and is a great splash of design. Sturdy built I wear this as an everyday. This place does not sell cheap stuff. I wear all my shirts and none have developed problems.

This shirt is built from what feels to be some sturdy material. I expect that I will be able to get moderate use from this shirt over several years. If I am wrong about this shirt and it does not hold up to moderate use, I will be back to update this review.

This is a top quality shirt and the fit is great. I plan on purchasing more of them. It is a very comfortable shirt to wear.

Really nice shirt fits well & feels good cotton is not scratcy next to your skin . My 12 year old grand daughter gave it a 2 thumbs up rating & in my kind it can not be rated higher than that . I wear what I buy as every day clothes so fit & comfort along with looks matter to me .I will probably buy a few more for every day casual wear

They may call it a work shirt, but it looks good enough for leisure wear as well. The fabric seems to be sturdy and durable enough to qualify as a work shirt. It will receive a bit of rough wear over the next few months, and I anticipate it will retain its good looks.

Perfect colour and nice fit.

My husband is extremely pleased with this shirt. It was originally bought for a costume but he's now planning to order at least one more for regular wear. The fabric is a very nice weight and quality and I am impressed with the construction and quality of the seams. The colour is a perfect deep burgundy.

OK, so I am new to Cowboy Action Shooting, and dressing the part. The thing is, I,m not really a great shot, SLOW, but DAM, do I look good in this shirt, and it,s always MIND OVER MATTER, I don't mind being slow, and it just dosent matter. Great product, great fit, thanks so much. BUTCHER CREEK BOB.

Western reenactment, fit well. Fast shipping.

Excellent 19th century look . well made . Will be adding to my collection of what i consider normal dress...

I was impressed by the quality of material and workmanship as soon as I opened the package, and it fit great, too. Get compliments every time I wear it to work, or even just around town. Plan to purchase several more in different colors.

Recieved my order quickly and in fine shape. I wore it first to a "workin' folk" dinner. The shirt looked dashing. Then used it on the shooting range (Cowboy Action Shooting) and it functioned even better than it looked. Plenty of arm room and flexibility. Material is nice, not flimsy, the color is fast after washing, the fit is nice and the size to fit relationship is accurate. A excellent workin' mans shirt. I have a second in maroon. I might yet get another.

Quality, durability, responsiveness as always EXCELLENT. Many more orders to follow.

The Fundamental Work Shirt is a good fit. I'm 220 pounds, 5'9" tall, and the 2X fits well, except the sleeves are a little long, but not so long I need to send them back. The Essential Work Shirt Seems slightly fuller, and the fabric seems somewhat heavier, but the overall fit is close. Both types are relatively easy to get on and off, and seem nicely made. The shirts have a definite "night shirt" look to them, but they are comfortable and roomy. I tried them on with bluejeans, and khakis, and they look good--a combination modern/retro look. I expect some looks and comments when I go out in the world wearing these shirts. I fully expect to have to answer the question, "Where did you buy that shirt?" I will wear them alone or with my Woolrich wool vests, which looks great. If you want some casual shirts that are different, and will set you apart from the rest of the herd, give these shirts a try. You'll be the only cat in town with genuine manly puffy sleeves. If you can pull that off, you'll be a man, my son. (Sorry, couldn't help it. A little fun with Rudyard Kipling's poem, "If--.")

Everyday wear,

This shirt fits appropriately and is a pleasure to wear!

These "old style" western shirts are so comfortable and cool that they can even be worn in this Texas heat! The puffy sleeves permit air-flow and do not cling to one's arms like modern western shirts. Those people of yesteryear who didn't have air-conditioning knew what they were doing. I wear Western Emporium attire on a daily basis and the compliments at WALMART, KROGER, McD's, never stop. When people inquire, I always proudly mention Western Emporium. Western Emporium attire has replaced my old wardrobe entirely ... and permanently. These clothes suit me and they make a statement: "I don't have to be like everybody else, because I'm not." This is not for pride or arrogance, it is for being free to be who I want to be and I like what Western Emporium provides.

The Morgan shirt was everything I was hoping for. Nice soft material and in a beautiful shade of blue. Overall quality is excellent and I am tempted to buy another!

comfortable fit, shipping was fast and accurate

I'm certain I've secretly desired this exact shirt for my entire 45 years! I can add how the draw strings seemed too long at first and were somewhat annoying. But after the first wash they magically shrank to the perfect length as I used cold water with a medium heat drying-cycle.

I bought this shirt for my wedding to complete my outfit for the day. Safe to say I absolutely love it. It is perfect. The fabric is so soft amd comfortable and the sleeves are all I've ever wanted in a shirt. Thank you so much for the best shirt :).

I have made 3 other purchases from the Emporium. All sales were delivered with exceptional speed and the quality of the garments are exceptional as well.

Hard to find quality. Excellent shirt to wear everyday that's unique.

I really enjoy the feel and look of this shirt. Fits just a little large for the size I ordered, but that may also be why it is so comfortable, anyway I love it and I am very pleased.

VERY GOOD SHGIRT AS ALWAYS FIRST CLASS

This is my "good shirt" for Sunday wear after I've been working all week in my workday Galway.

This is my fourth Galway shirt I purchased from The Historical Emporium. True to size. Well made comfortable nice looking shirts. Made in Ireland. You won't be disappointed.

This was a birthday gift for a family member, who was blown away by it.

The color is amazing! Much more of a dress shirt than I usually order from the Historical Emporium, but I am very pleased with the fit and as I mentioned earlier, the color. This is going to be an excellent addition to my wardrobe, especially for the holiday season!

This shirt was well made and the fit and finish was perfect!

Your shirts a great my husband and sons all like them they are wearing them in our oldest son wedding Plus our friends order shirts also I sent them your web site and all were really impressed. Sincerely Sandy And wii order again very soon

I hate collars on shirts, very happy to find a source for Banded collar shirts. I will be buying more.

Good fit nice quality

I was hesitant on what size to get when ordering but luckily I measured properly and the shirt fits perfectly. This shirt looks and feels great. I absolutely recommend it if you're considering buying it.
