Well made, nice fit and comfortable. Works well with any neck wear from puff tie to cravat and with several historical periods. Will be ordering more.

Perfect fit for my husband. Ordered by measurement, yay! Material not as stiff as expected though, was very comfortable and looked great with his vest!

I never thought I would like a high collared shirt never mind a white one. But this shirt is very comfortable and actually looks nice with the vest and tie.

I bought one waistcoat on here I didn't realize needed a high stand collar shirt. With the customer service help, I was offered a variety of shirts and now I look as dazzling as ever.

Absolutely perfect !!! Thank you !!!

Great quality cotton shirt pullover with buttons half way down chest and gathered back. Putting it on transforms you into an old time shopkeeper or gambler. The XL was very roomy. I usually wear a 34 sleeve and 17 neck. Neck was comfortable but I probably could have gone with a large. Was long too so plenty to tuck in. Well worth the cost for its authentic build. With the unique collar, a regular dress shirt cannot compare.

Very nice, good quality.

Outstanding detail!

Like everything I have gotten from Historical Emporium, this is a great addition to my Victorian wardrobe. It is comfortable and has the 'look' I was after.

I have big shoulders, and big chest and long big arms. This definitely is one of the best shirts I now own. I will wear the heck out of it. :)

I bought this shirt for my wedding to go with the River Vest. I bought an XL and it was way too big. The style of the shirt gives lots of pleating at the back for a billowy appeal. Very sharp. So, I reordered another shirt in a Medium and it fits perfectly. Wow what a great shirt. The style is wonderful, the quality is very good, and the material is a nice cotton. The shirt has sleeves that are a bit loose (on purpose) and it is a very attractive Victorian look. I will wear this to my wedding with the vest. Can't wait.

I looked far and wide for a shirt like this - a good one and one that actually fit me! I found it here and I love it! Great service, great price ... I'm sure I'll be back!

Just what I needed for the Dicken's Faire! Thanks!

Sleeves were too long for me, will have to get them shortened.

Great high collar shirt.

This shirt works perfectly with my Victorian costume for Community Theatre.

The size of historically cut shirts can be tricky, as the HE site does say, but it means that I have to get the sleeves shortened to fit me before I wear this. The cloth is lovely quality, and it looks great with the black stock.

I love the material and style of the shirt. Packaging was great and felt adequate (perhaps better) to protect the item from anything that fate would throw at it. I especially love the fluted chest fabric, as it looks very dashing.

I ordered this for my son who was in a school play that required Edwardian costuming. The shirt was very authentic and looked fantastic with the rest of the outfit that was also ordered from Historical Emporium.

I am using this shirt for a production. It is perfect

Very nice shirt

Perfect. Well made. Entirely satisfied.

My husband has worn this shirt twice since its arrival. He looks so very handsome. The shirt was created with such care and detail. It will last him for many, many for reenactments. Thank you!

Excellent item and just what was needed for our Pride and Prejudice production.

The shirt looks exactly like I needed it to, but the fabric is a bit thin. The actor doesn't mind, though - keeps him cooler.

great shirt

The pullover style of this shirt throws the historical accuracy onto another level. The collar height (just below my ears) is perfect and as I ordered a bit larger than my size, I anticipate that any shrinkage from washing will not be a problem. Especially nice that it has the convertible cuffs and placket!

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!!"

Loved the fit and the style and the %100 washed cotton. Exactly what I wanted.

I wear weird old fashioned clothing like this on a daily basis. It's just who I am, so I was very excited to finally be able to add this shirt to my collection. But anyway, this shirt is wonderfully made. It very lightweight and breathable and feels nice on the skin. I have no complaints.

This shirt fits true to the sizing guide and is extremely comfortable.

I needed a shirt like this with a nice crisp high collar to cement my outfit for a Victorian era party. Its a pullover, with a quarter button up. Don't worry about fumbling around with the button holes because they are perfect. Throw a cravat around you're neck and you'll look like you stepped straight out of the late 1800's. The cuffs are also pretty rigid. The sleeves run a little long but you can throw some sleeve garters on to really take things up a notch.

This is one of the best shirts I have purchased in over 20 years . I have been looking for this style shirt for a long time. Well made and crafted. Thank you

I love this shirt, it is all I had hoped for. The fit is right and very comfortable.

Love the shirt, the fit is great and the look is exactly what I wanted. I found out at the cleaners that it needs to be dry cleaned because it does not open up in front and can't fit on the ironing device they use. So it costs a little more to get cleaned. No biggie but something to consider I suppose.

A very breathable shirt with a great true fit. Went great with the Ascot.

Wonderful, great-fit shirt--promptly sent. Exceeds quality of similar shirts of other period clothing vendors.

Amazing fit and feel! Love it! As always, a pleasure doing business!

Perfect in every category. As usual.

Could not be happier with this shirt. Very good quality and the sizing chart worked perfectly. Have purchased a number of items and all have been terrific. Can't wait to wear them out.

This shirt is exactly what I was looking for and fits great. I've already turned a few friends on to Historical Emporium.

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.

Material was to thin. Returned for refund.

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

Want to feel like a fancy Victorian man of status. Then this is the shirt for you, especially when accompanied by a puff tie or ribbon tie you can feel confident you'll look amazing!

I'm sensitive to fabric textures, and this shirt (stolen from husband and altered) is my go-to. It's a lovely high quality, has stood up to 6 years of washes so far with very little fading and no pilling at all.

I have three of these in White and decided to get one in Black! No Disappointment! Add a Puff Tie or Ascot (I have several) in a bright color. Never disappointed with the Emporium Stores!

Perfect.

For Steampunk Carnival Ball. Picked and chose among the offerings.

Totally satisfied. This was the fourth item I purchased, that should speak for itself.

I love this shirt! Pricey but I'm glad that I purchased it. The quality is excellent. I received it promptly. I have bought from Historical Emporium in the past and will do so again. Check out their Homberg Hats.

This shirt is great, versatile and comfortable. There is but one very minor issue with this shirt, from my standpoint anyway, cannot wear cufflinks with this shirt. It fits well and looks good in all respects. I would easily recommend this shirt to others.

I purchased the Victorian Men's Dress Shirt with the High Stand Collar in black for my steampunk Halloween costume. I paired it with the Crimson Commander's Vest for a factory forman/ engineer look. Following the sizing guide I was a bit nervous of the fit, being a Plus-sized gentleman. I was quite surprised to find the product properly enveloped me. For once I have an awesome costume that isn't being unduely stretched by my figure. Will Buy Again.

I have been impressed with the 2 shirts that I have purchased , I use them as everyday wear and they are now part of my corporate wardrobe... I'll be back

The shirt arrived within three days of ordering! The fit was fantastic and comfortable. I have been looking for a site that provides quality and I've found it. I would recommend Historical Emporium to any and all, and will be purchasing goods from them in the near future.

I love it and thanks so much for bring me this product.

I like it. It fit just right. The quality was better than expected.

I also have the White one & I love them both. Thanks

Officially my favorite shirt! Beautiful!

This is my favorite shirt and it is a unique one. I''ve received more comments on this shirt than any. It is a good Sunday church shirt as well as a dinner on Saturday night shirt. It is also a head turner in restaurants. Beautiful shirt.

I wore this shirt to work the other day and got compliments on it. I'm a little overweight, so it's good to have a shirt that won't come untucked. Plus, I like the style.

This is a very nice looking shirt. Very classy. I also have the white on black version of this shirt as well. You'll look very sharp wearing this Bad Boy. The only regret I have with this shirt is how thin the material is.

I would normally wear XL to get the neck closure but wear L if I didn't need the collar to be fastened. These shirts are generously cut (but not too big) so I can get a great fitting shirt in size L that still buttons up at the neck comfortably. Good quality as well.

I am replacing the first one I got. Had it for 5 yrs and wore it quite often. I actually wore it out. So I figured I needed to replace it, before they stop making it. Great shirt.

The shirt was purchased for a film shoot, yes I am an Actor and have been in several films and CMT Videos. The size was as expected and appearance was high quality.

The fabric pattern looks attractive and authentic. The background color is arctic white, which is a hard color for most people to wear and is not really authentic for the period. The shirt features a left breast pocket. To the best of my knowledge, shirts from the late 1800s did not have pockets. I returned the shirt because the collar is about one-half inch too short in height to wear any sort of cravat or neck-tie with. Even with the narrow band on the "Satin-Puff" necktie, the collar does not look right or work well on a dress shirt. I could live with the bright white color--but not the short collar.

Had to wait until my size was in stock, didn't care for that too much. Shirt arrived in fine condition and am now more than pleased. I will be wearing it tomorrow under a Calvin Klein two piece charcoal suit. It will look smashing. Historical needs to calculate for millennial customers in terms of stocking tall sizes. You have fans that are not short, burly or over 60 Altogether a solid four

A little tight in the neck compared to the others i bought that were the same size, same manufacturer. May want to up a size if concerns.

A little tight in the neck compsred to the others i bought that were the same size, same manufacturer. May want to up a size if concerns.

The Wyatt Shirt was mare than i expected, it is good enough for a Sunday church shirt. Thinking about ordering me another one just like it to wear other an at SASS events. Very good quality, highly recommend it.

the shirt is extremely comfortable and fits beautifully. the shirt appears to be well made. I like the style very much and would not hesitate to purchase others of this style.

Very well made and authentic looking. Great quality and was well shipped and arrived quickly.

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.

Coulter shirt in natural color is excellent quality for the price. Will definitely be using this company again. Shirt is slightly roomier than expected, but is more historically accurate in that regard. Natural color is not too dark. Sort of an off-white linen color. Better than I was expecting. If you want a more fitted shirt, try ordering a size under what you usually need. I wear a medium in most shirts, but suspect that a small would still fit, even in the collar, for a more fitted appearance. Overall great shopping experience

The shirt was exactly what I was looking for. However, I wear an extra large and ordered same. Regrettably, the shirt was huge. Thank you for graciously accepting the return. Again regrettably, the shirt was not available in a large. Success, another item in a different style was ordered, shipped immediately, and the large was perfect.

Beautiful shirt.......and just as seen on the site. Fits perfectly. Yellowy in colour, and looks fantastic when worn with a mixture of browns like the Griffith Frockcoat in walnut......and the Sweeney Trousers with the Herringbone pattern. Go for a browny/ greeny / tweedy type vest with the THIS shirt, and the other types of Brown available in coats and trousers.......and you'll see what i mean. 5 stars.....and well deserved.

Great oversized summer cowboy shoot shirt, loose and cool.

The tag on this pull-over shirt calls it a Shiloh. sounds so historical! Heavier-than-usual cotton weave feels comfortable with a tee-shirt or tank top under it. This shirt can take a beating in any reenacting situation. Classic 19th century design fits right in with CAS situations. Add a western tie and vest for those times when a cowboy wants to spruce up a might. I wear a lamb skin leather waistcoat with it. Not so much historical 19th century western as common in the old western TV shows from the 50's & 60's. This shirt can also be seen in those old western shows and movies. It's a tough, yet good looking design that belongs in your cowboy wardrobe.

great shirt

I love my Coulter Shirt. Its authentic looks and confort are a smashing addition to my old west cowboy git up. I look like I stepped out from 1880!

Authentic looking period shirt!!

I bought this shirt in natural and tan stripe, and the look of both is superb. I actually preferred this striped one in appearance. However, the fabric was different from the natural. I found it too course, as i have sensitive skin. So, I sent in back, no big deal. But I think a washing and a wearer who prefers a tougher fabric will love this. The natural, on the other hand... that was a keeper.

I really like the shirt. My only complaint is that it is not permanent press. It is otherwise very attractive and well made.

I bought this intending to use it as part of my intrepid explorer steampunk costume, but it's so comfortable and such a great fit I've worn it to work several times. Moral: don't limit your thinking. I suspect many Emporium products can be worn on 'non-costume' occasions.

excellent quality and perfect fit

Ordered this shirt. Wore it to a function with a vest and bow tie. I seriously can't see why I would ever wear another shirt. It is comfortable, stylish, and of a quality I seriously never expected. After I wore it I actually sat down and inspected it.....every stich, button and seam. I just couldn't believe I finally found THE shirt, but alas, it was true. I found it. FANTASTIC quality. I will be ordering many more and donating most of what I own (shirtwise). If you are even THINKING of ordering, trust me...just do it. You will thank me later. As for Bowties, the "kicked back" collar melds with them perfectly. Thank you so much for my shirt. Please think about doing an Olive stripe....(favorite color). Kevin

Great shirt. Comfortable, well made, very nice shirt.

I bought this shirt to wear on casual-Fridays at the office, not just to wear as part of a costume. I've wore it last Friday with the brown four-pocket canvas vest and a pair of dark-loden chinos and got lots of compliments. Its comfortable and appears well-made. It responded well to ironing and some light spray-starch with not a single puckered seams to be found. A great shirt!

When I opened the package, I could not believe how great this shirt looked. The picture does NOT do it justice at all. It is just gorgeous. It can be dressed up with his brown cords and vest (also bought here) or just looks great as casual with the canvas. Very good quality, perfect fit. My husband has to have 35/36 inch sleeves and we have never bought a shirt that did not fit great in the sleeve length! Love love love my Western Emporium!

Quality of shirt was very nice. Chest and arm fit was good but I to go to next size larger to get right size in neck. Easy process to exchange shirt.

I have bought Virgil Shirts in the past because they do have a left breast pocket and the overall look is very 1880's. It is big enough to wear as a night shirt as well. I had to unload previous shirts and trousers after I lost 200 pound since my last order three years back.

This shirt fits well and looks great. Excellent quality and easy to clean.

I am always wary of ordering clothes by mail or from the internet, but I needed a Victorian/Edwardian club-collared short, so I took a chance when I stumbled across The Gentleman's Emporium. To say the least, I'm glad I did.The shirt (of very high quality) fits perfectly (which isn't all that common as I lift weights four day/week). So why the "two perfect fits" title? Given this initial experience with the company, I'd say The Gentleman's Emporium is going to be an equally perfect fit for me. (Expect more orders.)

Looked on many other sites for rounded collars and had little luck. Gentlemen's Emporium had a great selection and the sizing recommendations were accurate. It's a great shirt.

This is my second shirt from Historical Emporium, but my first collarless. With it I bought three different collars (in the same size) and some collar studs. Quality-wise the shirt is well made and perfectly satisfactory. Ordering the right size without an actual fitting can be hit or miss, but the shirt fitted very well using the Emporium's guides to measure up. I didn't need the collar studs. The shirt has a button at back of the collar and comes with a stud at the front. Collar studs aren't visible under neck-wear, either; still, it's nice to have a set to my own taste and small items get lost, so spares are good. Wearing it - now there's a small learning curve! I hadn't had a detachable-collared shirt since the air force cadets (way back in the '60s) issued us lads mismatched WW2 uniform equipment, and mine never fitted! This shirt and the collar did, both me and each other. But how did grandpa get dressed without the help of a gentleman's gentleman? I found, after fruitless contortions, the easy way is to attach the collar by the back button, and one end of the collar to the collar stud, but leave the other end free. Pull the shirt on (it only unbuttons part way!) then do up the shirt and attached collar. Then add your period neck-wear. And a vest/waistcoat. A gentleman never wore his shirt fully exposed. Finally, wear it in public. Be ready for conversations. Possibly, ask Historical Emporium for a supply of their cards to hand out.

Much admired, with collar off the open neck suits cravat, collar on for more formal with four in hand or pufftie. Will be buying more

This shirt is the ONLY one (thus far) which possesses a Breast pocket! A feature many men require. Fits well and like the other shirts, the sleeves are just a little too long. I would Easily recommend this product to anyone!

This is a wonderful dress shirt. The size runs very true and it is beautifully made. I purchased the wing-tipped collar to go with the shirt and it looks fantastic. I wear this shirt as part of my regular rotation of shirts I wear to work. I'm planning to purchase a variety of collars, so it will be like getting multiple shirts for the price of one. I love it!

This is a very well made, comfortable shirt. Looks good on, fits as was told. This was a very good buy. I would recommend it highly to anyone looking for this type of shirt.

Well made, quality shirt

I have some other shirts from Emporium, but this is my favorite, Iu just love it, and the opertunity to change the collar ;-) I can use it all the time

I love this shirt use it for western dress and victorian, even wear it now and then for daily dress . using the collars just makes it that much more in when dressing up for victorian or western period .

This resembles a good 19th century shirt that I use for daywear as well as formal evening attire. Had some sizing issues at the start, but Historical Emporium sent me a replacement and this time they fit better, just had my tailor have a slight hand over the collar. Since it was my first order I wasn't so familiar with the sizing table, but for my future orders I am now perfectly prepared. Will order from Historical Emporium again!

The Fairchild shirt is a very fine product; however, although I take a large shirt in the chest and arm length area, my neck is not a large. I had to take the shirt to a tailor who sewed another button hole into the collar about a half inch in from the original. I would recommend that the manufacturer do the same, thus giving the customer the option of insuring a perfect fit. Since I ordered a large stand up collar for the shirt, the tailor did the same to the collar. All in all, everything worked out fine and it goes great with my swallow tail coat, vest and homburg. My lady friend and I should make a dashing couple at the San Diego Gas Lamp Gathering this September.

Much to my surprise, I've come to the conclusion that if you only have one shirt in your Victorian kit, this is definitely the one to choose. With the detachable collars it's like having 4 shirts at bargan basement prices. The quality is definitely there, but it is the versatility that makes it stand out. A good example of this is when I indulge another Victorian fashion, a love of all things Scottish, and it's time to attend a "Burns Knicht," it fits right in with a bit of lace pined to the cuffs, and a jabard pined at the throat. Then with a change of hat, collar, tie and coat, it works for the piano recital of 1860's American music, held in a historic house of the era. I really recommend this shirt!

would have preferred a full-button front to placket and an ordinary pocket, not "western" type also had to change all buttons as needed plain white ones

This is the one shirt I thought would be the most versatile. The Fairchild looks nice and fits well. If the emporium offered shirts like the Fairchild in a variety of colors (like light blue, peach, striped etc.) combined with their attachable collars, this would be the best shirt ever. Right now it's only the best shirt.

A great value and the fit is perfect.

Arrived promptly in the UK, unfortunately, it didn't fit, but that's down to me not checking the sizes properly. No reflection on the service.
