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.

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!

I order a medium and it was labeled medium, but it seemed large. I think you should warn your customers that the sizing is on the large side.

The shirt was of a very high quality Material. It was very comfortable to wear ans ease to clean. I am so glad I found your Web Site, I have passed it on to our other Docents at the Allen County Museum, In Lima, Ohio. Thank you for your prompt deliver of my items.

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

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.

This is not a cheap replica or tuxedo shirt. It's high quality fabric and craftsmanship. Very please worth the extra money

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!

Great shirt... after modifying it with rear collar button to accept a separate collar (as pictured on the web site, though the use of pinning the collar on it for the picture). Next time, advertise items as they REALLY are shipped! [editor's note: this item is not pictured with a separate detachable collar. The shirt ships as shown.]

Generally pleased with it. Well constructed, quality shirt. For me, collar too large for sleeve length. Would but more if you had tall thin sizes. I've adjusted the collar down to a 16 1/2, and adjusted the detachable collars I purchased so that they fit.

The shirt is beautiful It is very well made and was packaged beautifully. I am very pleased.

Beautiful shirt! For anyone who finds themselves in the same situation I found myself in... I am right between a 'Large' and a 'Medium' on their sizing charts. Tried both and ended up keeping the Medium. But in the end, the shirt and the service are wonderful.

Nice looking lightweight shirt which wears well even during hot summer days in the south. Craftsmanship and material quality are wonderful. With the addition of a small 2-hole button on the collar loop this shirt adapts nicely to the add-on collars, which provides a lot of different looks from one shirt. A distinctive styleed shirt that goes with everything. This is a good choice to keep in your wardrobe.

Like the shirt very much, wish cuffs would accommodate cuff links.

Purchased a Medium. My usual size is 38-40. Shirt is great but still a bit large for a 38 size. too wide especially in the waist area. Don't know if size Small would be any slimmer in the waist since this is most likely a traditional 'period' style shirt (wider and voluminous). Happy with the Medium size. Great fabric and style. Comfortable. Consider it a good buy.

I purchased this shirt at the same time as the gambler shirt. They are essentially the same shirt. One has the pleats sewn down, the other does not. One has a loop at the back neck to hold a tie, the other does not. They are both bibfront designs. Only the wearer would know the difference. I sewed buttons onto the back of the necks to use detachable collars. Since the fronts close with a stud, this works quite well. The style and cut are quite proper and ample.

fits and looks great!

I absolutely love this shirt. The collar height is perfect. I habitually dress Victorian and Historical Emporium clothing is a staple of my wardrobe. This shirt is the perfect addition to my dress shirt rotation.

This is a very well-made shirt which looks great and authentic.

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 have been looking to upgrade some of my Steampunk gear. I've done it piece-by-piece and one of the last ones were black shirts. Now that I have these, I think what I have for this character is pretty good. I still need to accessorize more, but this means my basic gear and garments are set.

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.

Top quality. Very pleased

Hello: I must tell you I was really surprised at the quality of the shirt and it fitted like it was tailored for me. The measurements were spot on. It is a beautiful shirt, and true to a clothing pattern back in the 1880's. I am truly pleased and will buy from your company again in the near future. Thanks,

This shirt arrived really quickly to me in the U.K. A nice style and very comfortable to wear, attracted good comments from family and friends alike, as commented by another customer review you probably couldn't get away with wearing a tie due to the collar size but that personally causes me no issues,overall very pleased with my purchase and I hope the reverse style 'Earp Shirt' is soon available in my size.

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.

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.

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.

The clothing that I ordered are for a Hickory Golf Outing. I also do reenactments / rendezvous, 1800-1850. Everything that I ordered looks good and fits good.

Excellent shirt. Would be better if sold in 1 or 2 neck sizes bigger.

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.
