I had to get the length altered but they fit great and are quality

Fit very well and quite sturdy! They look great. They have a very Victorian/turn-of-the-century look to them. Look great with a frock coat and top-hat!

Producted looked great well made

Love these trousers! They fit better than any pair of trousers I’ve ever owned. Great feel and weight & seem very durable. Using the sizing chart proved to be the difference. I’m a 32 in the waste, and per the sizing chart, I ordered a 34 as they are high-rise trousers. Perfect! The length must be tailored to fit your height .. they come 36” length. My tailor charged me $12 to fit them .. like stealing! Again, the best fit of any trousers I’ve ever owned. By the way, after placing my order, they arrived so fast that I had to duck! No Pony Express with these guys. I’ll be doing more shopping with Historical Emporium.

Very nice pants, love the fit and look. I originally ordered my usual pants size and they were too small (website does say to measure just below your belly button, generally a size or two bigger than your normal, my mistake). I returned for a larger size, quick, easy, no hassle exchange. Received replacement within 2 days, they fit great! Will be ordering more items soon.

Pant was cut way to tight in the legs and seat. You were out of 36 waist which is what I wear, so I ordered 38 waist. Waist was way to big but thigh and seat was way to small

Just need to shorten the trousers a couple of inches, other than that just great.

All Correct!

The pants are good quality, well finished, with some nice features. The fit was just right. Watch pocket, and the pocket details were definite nice touches.

I bought these for my costume this year and wanted something authentic. I found this and ordered it. Came in two days later and I tried it on but, the legs were pretty long. I'm 5"7 so I'm not that tall, for what it's worth the material and quality is top notch so I would definitely buy from them again. Just keep in mind that the legs will be long if you are on the short side so have someone tailor it or find a local tailor to make the adjustments.

Excellent style and fit. Did need to add spandex gussets as we were using them for a dance piece. Pants all held up well and looked as good after being worn for a week as they did when we first fit them.

These trousers fit my husband well. He wears them with Leather Buckle Suspenders – Black (which he LOVES!). They look good with his Victorian Formal Tailcoat - Black Wool. Thank you!

These pants are precisely what I was looking for. Solid, fit well, good fabric and color (note that pant sizes do not directly correlate to waist measurements). Not difficult to hem, either.

High quality material and stitching. Fits true to size, so you don't have to order a size larger or smaller to get a good fit.

Absolutely pleased with these trousers. I had to hem and taper mine as I am quite thin and found the length a bit too long. Other than those small issues, I love them. Great material. In regard to customer service, I have nothing but good things to say. Very fast shipping and hassle free return.

Perfect fit and most comfortable! A favorite pillar of my daily wear wardrobe. Fast shipping and excellent customer service. Unbeatable shopping experience!

Historical Emporium is my 'go-to' company. I don't even bother looking anywhere else. I know what I will get every time- authentic period details, Perfectly well made, perfect fabrics, quick delivery--- Thank you!

These trousers are made of excellent material. They're very elegant in appearances but good for any occasion from a casual work day or a formal event. Comfortable and adjustable belt in back make sure for a comfortable waist line.

Great! Very comfortable! May shift entire wardrobe to these clothes.

These things fit true to size, be sure to measure!! :) they are sooo cool. Fit great and great quality. I ordered the matching vest and this outfit has more swag than kanye west!

fit was good, but upon the full dress review, it was realized that black was needed. nice trousers. I can see that more trousers from G'Emporium are in the future.

Nice and well made. You have to go by your high waist measurement to get proper fit. Husband's chest and high waist are 44 so that is the size I order. The fit is perfect. You will have to hem them or have it done by a seamstress. No biggie.

Got married and I was looking soon good!!!

Heavy. Good heavy fabric. Heavier than the canvas saddle pants. Picture, to me, looks green. Good smoke grey when in hand. Fit is accurate. Will need to be hemmed if you aren't a longshanks.

I've been quite happy with the product and service I've received from Historical Emporium over the years. The Patterson and Livingston trousers are no different. The fit is perfect using the measuring guide. Follow the instructions, though; these do not fit like modern pants. The quality is outstanding; if they're like previous trousers I've owned from Historical Emporium, I know they will last for many years of frequent wear. The brushed cotton is very unique; a soft peach-fuzz texture, but also durable like jeans. As for customer service, my orders have always shipped promptly. When I needed to exchange a product, it was taken care of quickly. When I've had questions, the customer support team replied to my emails promptly and professional. Overall, I highly recommend these trousers and Historical Emporium.

Just what I wanted

I really like these pants super comfortable my skin is super sensitive and these pants are no problem which really makes the difference for me. As for the fit perfect hangs really nice I have gotten multiple compliments while wearing them out regularly. I rolled the ankles but I might get the pants hemmed now because I know I like them a lot.

old west returns

Really Good

This is my new favorite outfit. I feel like a fancy banker or perhaps a mobster. The color is like a worn/distressed navy and the stipes add a dapper touch that accentuates my 6'3" super slim frame. The buttons match the stripes nicely. I feel as the fabric and pattern will wear well for many years. I'm a bit in between sizes, 42" chest, but the medium fits handsomely. 36" waist is my normal, stayed with 36" and they fit great. I do wish the best came in a tall option, but it covers my suspender tabs and waist strap on my trousers. I couldn't wear it with modern waisted pants, but again I'm 6'3" and 190 lbs. I have several vest and trouser sets from Historical Emporium, super excited to finally have something blue.

These pants are the bomb of durability! Wow. Seriously. Great and style as always! The colors are great! QUICK shipping. Thank YOU! I will search again if you carry these Humboldt trousers in other colors. If you don't, You definitely should! These badboys are gonna last!

These pants are super classy, and high quality. I purchased them for a Halloween costume, but will be wearing them on a regular basis. I love them.

I've never been disappointed with any Historical Emporium product....until I ordered these trousers. The striping / colouring is great....but the pants are really long waisted (reaching the bottom of ribcage) and, after washing, heavily wrinkled and stiff as canvas. They'll need more than a good pressing to look good ....maybe rolling over with a steam roller! I WILL STICK TO WAHMAKER AS MY TRIED AND TRUE BRAND OF PANTS. They didn't come in humboldt stripe so I ordered this brand. Bad move. Maybe the manufacturer could consider pre-washing the material (stone-washed?) using some kind of softening agent before cutting and assembling these pants. Having washed them, I will keep them, but cut and sew them into a vest instead. Too hard and stiff for my comfort level.

Picked these up for a costume. I'm a 32W/34L. The pants that arrived felt more of a 33W and 35L. I say this without having measured a thing. Ordinarily I would have sent them back for a smaller size, but the roominess allows me to make some killer dynamic poses. So it's all good!

Love the design, construction and durability of this product line.

These are excellent quality pants! Worth the money! And they're extra long so you can hem them to fit

Great pair of pants, definitely not cheap and extra long so they can be hemmed. Love them!!

these pants are very well made, from a sturdy jean-like material. They are more bluish in color than the pictures show and you WILL need hemming - Unless you are 7' tall. Mine came with flat buttons (although the pictures show some ornaments on them). Also I followed the instructions and bought one size up from my normal pants size and they are quite a bit loose. But you can adjust the strap in the back - there is quite a bit of room. Overall I am pleased with the purchase - it should work quite well with the Canvas work vest I bought as well.

I was thrilled when they arrived. Ordering one size larger, as suggested, the fit is perfect and very comfortable. These high quality, durable, denim-like trousers will wear a long time, and are just the thing to wear; whether you're laying track for a railroad or heading out for the Spring Quadrille at Mrs. Huffington's, the style is perfect. I use them for every day wear, and love them.

Think of these as heavy blue jeans as far as when and where you wear them. Definitely winter weight.

I enjoy how historical these trousers are, along with their rugged style. Putting on a union suit, these pants, suspenders, and boots make you look like you came straight from the American Frontier. The waist is high, the pants look rugged and give a unique aesthetic on the body compared to modern jeans; the length of the pants are great for putting them over boots or tucking the pants into your boots; the waist size (30 I ordered) fits me just right and I have a small waist, and plus there is an adjustable belt on the back of the pants. The suspenders I have with the slits went right through the buttons on the pants very smoothly. These canvas pants feel very comfortable, and I noticed I don't have to constantly fix my tucked-in shirt coming out compared to wearing normal jeans with a tucked-in shirt thanks to the high waist, suspenders, and little bit of stomach room around the pants that keep the shirt where it is supposed to be when I choose to wear a long-sleeved shirt with these pants. The pants, at least mine, are not real heavy, yet they are durable. I highly recommend wearing a duster coat and tall, tucked in boots with these pants and you will look incredible.

Keeping the old west alive. Period correct, fits great and looks good.

Event in Edgewood, NM, very happy with the quality and size!

I bought these pants as part of my 1880's costume. They look and feel authentic and seem very well made. They do have to be professionally altered to length (they all come in 36" length), but otherwise they're amazing.

Had to get them hemmed but other than that love how thick they are and the way they fit me. It's hard finding clothes for a tall slender young man

The pants fit great and after tailoring the inseam, it looks fantastic. High quality all around, soft, and comfortable. Great job

Fits perfectly. Purchased a size 36. If your tall like me, you're gonna love these steampunk pants. If you're shorter, plan on taking them to a tailor. But the quality is worth it!

Excellent Quality as usual

Great fabric, needs hemming, if you have a belly, have a tailor move the buttons over, Fits great, kinda slim,

I love where these pants sit on my waist, great color and good quality fabric. The seam in the crotch already split unfortunately easy fix I suppose since it was just the thread

I mention the Duke only because I was re-watching Rio Grande and saw this very style being worn by all the Army personnel. The quality is so good that I wish I could wear these everyday, much more sturdy even than my blue jeans I have. These trousers were purchased for my Airship Pirate Doctor, excellent for sailing the open airways.

Great pair of pants. Material not too heavy so they should work any time of year!

Very nice pants great fit!!

I'm creating a mid-1800s clergy outfit and these trousers, with the matching coat (and suspenders) arrived quickly and, though the material is thicker than I would like, they fit as sized and only needing to shorthen the sleeve length and trouser hem. Amen :-)

I was impressed how heavy the fabric is and how well made. Nice fit and the trousers looked awesome.

than the Fall-front pants but still had to send back. Sent back for a refund.

No complaints. Very unique styling.

I wear a 38" normal waist, measured where they say to and ordered the 42". It was a perfect fit, Heavy duty and made well. They are dry clean only but to loosen them up I put them in the dryer with a damp towel on a no heat setting for a bit. They are long and will need to be altered.

I can't express enough how the quality of these trousers are impeccable! Don't hesitate....purchase them immediately! Bravo to this company!

They are pretty impressive and the fit is good. Note that they are very long so you will probably have to hem them.

These are a good item. Feels like cotton denim. Nice thick feel to them and true to the size chart.

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 would have liked an option that is a staright leg to fit OVER boots with same look and cotton material.

They are wonderful they are everything i wanted but they dont fit. I got a size 38 same style from this site and they are grey and they fit perfectly not sure why these are so much smaller. Luckly im on a weightloss journey so they will fit soon

I'm 6'2 and 360lbs, and these fit great, look great (and period correct), and did not shrink in the wash too much. If anything, I might have been able to go down a size (but they'll have plenty of room for winter long underwear). The only PITA was having to hem them, since they come ridiculously long. The fabric is very thick and durable.

The people who said order a couple of sizes up were a godsend. 2-4 sizes larger than you wear is a solid suggestion. I needed more than 2 sizes from my normal; I wear a 34-36 and needed a 40 in my case. Comfy pants, tho! Very comfy. Honestly wouldn't mind having a few pants that fit like these. Also when they tell you to plan on seeing a tailor to get these hemmed, they mean it. Plan to get these hemmed for your height. I had to return my first order to get the correct size, but the return was easy and free of any hassle. Would order again, but given the quality, I probably won't need to replace these any time soon.

PEOPLE ASK ME WHERE I GOT THE PANTS THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE GOOD

Exactly what I expected. Good quality. Heavy duty pants.

I love the weight of this fabric. It's like a thick yet soft and flexible denim. The pants look great and they feel great. Nice deep pockets! Solid construction! Warning: the waist is truly very high. Don't order these if you don't like that.

Very well made, Will require custom hemming, the pant legs are about 10 inches too long for me but I knew this before purchasing. Would and will buy again.

Got these for a cosplay, they match the style and look exactly for what I was going for, and the material is great, they're more durable feeling then my actual work pants!

I am gradually converting my everyday wardrobe to 19th century trousers from Historical Emporium---they seem to work for most occasions and I get lots of compliments and queries about them.

Great fit, comfortable to wear. A big addition to my collection

I was looking for something I could wear to a wedding that would also be the basis for a Steampunk outfit. These pants are great quality and are perfect for what I want.

You need to have the inseam taken up for your length. Also the Crotch needs to be brought up. But these are quality Trousers, so it’s a small inconvenience.

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.

These seemed to run a slightly thinner fit through the legs than the cotton and canvas pants, this is fine for me. The pants are a very nice gray, lighter than most slate grays, it seems to pair well with almost any color of shirt. The pants are a quality feeling wool mix, great winter pants. The buttons are quite a bit larger than the metal style trouser Historical Emporium sells, and unfortunately I'll have to replace them for my suspenders. Overall, these are some pretty good trousers, as with everything I have bought from HE it's a well made garment and I am thoroughly impressed.

Fit right out of the box. Well constructed, material has a good weight without being too heavy. Seem very durable. Looking forward to wearing them at my next living history event. Service was great; fast shipping and right the first time. This is not my first purchase from the Emporium, and I expect there will be more.

I have more than one pair of trousers from you guys. I had the gray trousers hemmed, but I haven't had a chance to wear them yet. Even though I haven't worn them yet, I LOVE them, just as much as I love anything else I've bought from you! THANK YOU, Historical/Gentlemen's Emporium, for even existing!

Very, very high waist, which I like. Very long legs, but easy to hem. Heavy fabric, good for outdoors use.

Another great pair of pants that my son loves. Now he is saving up to buy the matching vest.

I have a couple pairs of these pants in different colors. They work well for a casual look especially, but you can dress them up with a "Sack Coat" and vest if you want. Comfortable as well!

Bought some sable brushed cotton trousers in brown, but brown and black do not a complete wardrobe make. Comfortable, well constructed, a bit heavy weight, nice finish. Really, nothing not to like.

My trousers arrived quickly, and upon inspect showed excellent quality of construction and material. My only regret is that I misjudged the measurement of the waist, not knowing exactly how high it was cut. I should have added three inches, not two. However, they will fit, albeit a bit snugly, and they will look great.

I got these pants because I liked the very similar Sable pants and wanted something "dressier." They're extremely good-quality, and pair very nicely with the Livingston vest or really any outfit. Gives it a nice offset. Note, though, that until you first dry-clean them, they tend to pick up hairs and lint.

I just love all my trousers from gentleman emporium, have been riding on horseback for many many miles the last years, and they are still in one peace ;-) But this is for a victorian summer in town ;-)

These trousers fit well (follow the sizing guide). The cloth is durable but comfortable, and, with the right accessories, they are very fashionable. Great buy.

Excellent product. This is my first buy in historical clothing and at this site. They answered questions about my sizing over the phone, and it arrived in the time window they projected. Great quality, very professional and sturdy. They look great. I measured my waist at belly-button and was surprised it was almost 38 inches(Usually a 34" pants is roomy on me), so I got a size 36 and its perfect. Snug at the waist, plenty of room on the legs for bending, etc. They come extra long, so be prepared to have to take up some, but that leaves room for a cuff if that's your thing.

Love the color. Perfect fall addition to my wardrobe. Fit and quality are second to none. I love the fact that they come long so you can get the length cut perfectly so does my tailor! H.E. wins again. Love your products!!!

This was a perfect addition to my new Victorian Santa suit. My niece (costume designer for a big Vegas show) made me a new vest and coat - but we needed the perfect late 19th century pants. The Olive Herringbone Tweed trousers make the ensemble perfect.

quality look and feel, got a few compliments and am happy with these trousers

The size 34 was too small so I sent them back for a 36" even though I normally wear a 33 or 34 so buyers take note

Can't believe this style ever fell out of fashion, so comfortable, and smart looking. I feel like a human being when I wear these pants. Perfect fit, suspenders buttons appear to be of a quality that will last, same for all the seams. Couldn't be more satisfied.

Love the pattern, bought and am happily wearing. Definitely a larger fit than the same size in similar Frontier Classics pants. A great look for our antique barber shop.

I bought this for Mark Twain Days. Lots of people dress in 1860 attire for the event. I look like I just arrived out west during the Comstock Era.

We attend the Great Dickens Faire in the San Francisco Bay area every year since 2007, with the exception of, well you know, Covid. And my husband had decided that he would like a new pair of pants so he could change up his regular outfit. Coincidentally, doing some googling, we found Historical Emporium. Even more of a coincidence it was about 45 minutes from where we currently were, in the bay area. So we called to see if we could by chance get these pants by picking them up. And the answer was yes. The most amazing customer service I think we have ever had. Not only did they take the time to make sure that this was the right pair of pants. But I think they even stayed a little bit past lunch. They should businesses the art of customer relationships. Thank you so much the pants are perfect. !!

Fit after hemming. Wore to a Victorian Christmas craft show and got lots of compliments

I bought these pants for Halloween and I love them. I had to get them altered around the crotch and the length of the pants but in all honesty I liked that they only go based off of your waist size because it makes them much more customizable for your needs.

These pants fit very well and look great. I am especially impressed with the quality of these. I also like the manufacturer did not put their maker tag on the outside of the garment. The waist size I ordered is 38, although I normally wear 35-36. Packaging and service were excellent.

I like the style of these pants , should have gotten a lager size

Can't wait for Tombstone Arizona for Helldorado days celebrating The OK corral Oct 20. 2023 the hubby should look awesome with a red shirt I also got him.

The fit was great, I'm always nervous when buying mail order. This is the second pair of trousers I have bought from Historical Emporium, I'm sure it won't be the last. I do my own hemming, by hand and it was very easy to measure, cut & sew. I highly recommend your outfits to anyone interested in an accurate 19th century wardrobe.

This is my second order for this pant style, needed a new color. Shipping was quick and the pants fit very well, got lots of compliments on them.

Great pants better then pictured on website. Will buy more from here when able.

These 19th century western trousers fit well and look great! But the standard 36 inch inseam is in need of cutting back to 28 inches or so. We're not all 6'6"!
