Definitely get the shirt heavily starched or make your own from rice flour. The collar should always be very stiff.

Amazing quality and perfect fit
My husband is a tall thin guy and the small was a perfect fit for him. It looks great and the buttons and stitching is very high quality. Would definitely buy again from these guys.

Very nice looking and comfortable shirt that is well made in a good quality cotton. Size is a bit bigger than expected, but after a cold wash and a tumble dry it shrunk to a perfect fit.

Excelsior!
I am into Steampunk, and this is the conclusion of attire I needed in its creation. I had several other shirts that just couldn't fit the bill for various different reasons. When I put the shirt on with my other clothes and then finally the face mask I created, the shirt gave an added debonair look that made me say only one thing. "EXCELSIOR!!"

A very handsome, frontier style shirt.
Looks great with my flat-topped, "gunfighter style" Western hat. I look forward to wearing this shirt at a special gathering during First Friday fun on Santa Fe Drive this April in Denver, Colorado.

Black and White Pinstripe Coulter Shirt
I wanted an authentic western shirt for my new hobby of Cowboy Action Shooting. I ran across Historical Emporium on the web and they had so many different patterns and colors of western shirts that it was difficult to make a decision. I finally decided on the Coulter style in black and white pinstripe. This is a great shirt, authentically styled and tailored and the pinstripes are visually very pleasing. Quality is quite nice and the large cut of the shirt is very comfortable. I am very pleased with the shirt.

Superb!
Once again, I am simply delighted by the superior quality of this item, its authentic styling and true to size fit. It's also quite stylish and damned comfortable, to boot. I've only one, eensy problem with the shirts available here: I love french cuffs, and they simply aren't available on many of the shirts. You might want to seriously consider asking your manufacturer to offer them. Otherwise? Fine garment!

Love the Look!
If you love the look of the Wild, Wild West, you will absolutely love the Coulter Shirt. This shirt has the perfect collar for a hand-tied bow or string tie. It is comfortable to wear and can go well with any solid-colored vest. The fit is fantastic! Best of all, it does not need dry cleaning. Machine wash in cold water and hang to dry for best results.

Love the shirt!
I ordered a Medium Coulter Shirt - and the sizing appears to run large. So, I returned it and ordered a Small, which fits perfectly (kind'a amazing because I don't wear a small *anything*!). The quality is impeccable and the shirt looks GREAT!

Very nice shirt
I wear these shirts with the Chadwick waistcoat over the top. The shirts fit very well, and look much nicer with a waistcoat than a more modern style shirt with a pointed collar. The material and colours are lovely.

So Good, It'll Grow Hair on Your Chest
Not all Poofy Shirts are made equal. Bought this Pirate Shirt in a 2X for my boyfriend. He's 6'5" and, well, just bigger, and this shirt fit him like a yoho-ing piratey dream. The cotton fabric is a very nice quality, heavy with a little bit of knit feel to it, and the lace up closure at the chest, is just perfect to show off manly manly chest hair. If you're looking for the PERFECT PIRATE SHIRT, the Bartholomew is it!

Traditional
Very well made. Sturdy material. Collar is as advertised, tall. Fit comes just underneath the jawline. Cuffs are magnificent as they are a true fold over French cuff in every sense. Cufflink holes line up on the mark. These are not conversion cuffs as there are no buttons, so keep that in mind when ordering. Sleeves are a bit long for me. Bought a size large. I'm a 16-161/2 neck with a 34/35 sleeve. Easy remedy is to buy a pair of sleeve garters. Problem solved. As with all the shirts I've purchased here, very satisfied. Will wrinkle when laundered so be ready for some starch and ironing.

Fit and Stylish
The shirt fit as expected per the measurements and sizing chart. The quality of the fabric and sewing are excellent. Sleeves were a bit longer than expected, but that gave a good, baggy/slouchy sleeve look, which I liked. The collar and shoulders were proper tightness to complete the high-collar look for my outfit.

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 shirt is not only authentic looking but comfortable as well. I wear these as normal victorian wear (Dressed like a Toff) as they say, so the shirt works for formal Tux or Business, everyday wear. The collar has the fold down triangles which I love...can't get more late 1800's than that. All Round good quality and affordable

Perfect collared shirt
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.

Most Excellent Shirt
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.

Great Shirt!
I love the feel and fit of this shirt. I've never had a shirt like this before and so was very pleasantly surprised to find I could remove the "flounce" and have a simpler, less formal, but still elegant look. Like getting two shirts for the price of one. (My daughter who is an aficionado of Victorian and Regency fashion loved it.) I was a little concerned because the shipping had left the collar badly wrinkled, but my daughter told me to just hang it in the bathroom while I took a steamy shower and voila - good as new! All in all I am delighted with this shirt.

My husband loves the shirt. He said it is better then he thought by looking at it, top quality and fits perfect. It is perfect for our sons wedding which is a Alice in Wonderland Tea Party with a touch of Steam Punk! It took only days for us to get it. We will be ordering again since we go to Renaissance Fairs and such.

Exactly What I Wanted
I just simply needed a classically designed shirt for a semi dressy outfit with my new Callahan Frock Coat. I'm a retired architect and a jewelry artist, and I prefer distinctive clothing. I'm in the process of making a very special hand carved Australian Opal and yellow 18k gold-set bola tie to wear with this outfit. The shirt's tailoring and fit is just what I was hoping for. I normally wear an extra large and this shirt is an extra large. It fits perfectly and no alteration is needed.

I couldn't be happier with the quality of the product. The fabric holds a press without starch and the stitching is second to none. As good a shirt as any I've had made by a tailor. Historical Emporium's shipping is second to none. My order (which was a special order) arrived weeks before an Amazon order made on the same day -- all the way to Singapore.
