Purchased for Barnaby Tucker in Hello Dolly; we decided it was time to build our late Victorian costume stock by investing in a few quality pieces. This jacket is superb. Fits will, nice fabric - exactly what I was hoping for!

I wear it to work instead of a long coat.

I like it. It's not really costumey. I hope they re-stock trousers size 30...

The jacket is beautifully done and very authentic looking. I was a bit nervous when I first ordered, since I have never been able to buy a sport coat without tailoring. This coat fits perfectly. Love it!

This is a nice jacket for the money spent, and a unique style that you can't find anywhere else. The material is nice, but not quite as heavy as other wool jackets I own, and I am disappointed that it does not have any interior breast pockets. It does not have a "bi-swing" back, but since I got a "size larger", I will be able shoot while wearing it. This will be nice jacket to wear when shooting with the Vintagers and our old side-by-side shotguns.

I like a lot of 19 century clothing it is both elegant and practical. great buy

I had my eye on this coat for some time and cheap as I am I could not resist when it went on sale, (sorry HE!), but the wait was well worth it! I absolutely love "old style" clothing because it has such great character. This coat is no exception. Love the styling and the fit is spot on. I almost ordered an Extra Large because I'm tall and sleeves are an issue at times but the regular Large fit just fine while still roomy enough to layer underneath for those really chilly days. Historical Emporium has the best selection of items of any store I have seen. The prices are alway reasonable and shipping is always expeditious. This is not the first time I have purchased items from HE and I dare say it won't be the last!

Love it. Good construction. Packaged nicely. Anxious to wear it this Fall.

Neat, I love it! Finally after so many years each I have one. I'd like to see a matching pair of knickers with the knee leather strap just below the knee?

Love it. Good construction. Packaged nicely. Anxious to wear it this Fall.

Love it. Good construction. Packaged nicely. Anxious to wear it this Fall.

We had to return this item due to size issues. A large was much too large, and we were reluctant to exchange for a medium. The fabric was a little rough, though attractive enough. Overall it was stiff, not as soft as I would like. But, still a nice jacket, and hard to find. Decently cut.

I was very pleased with the quality of the wool herringbone tweed Norfolk jacket! It fits the actor in the play I'm designing costumes for.

I always wanted a Norfolk Jacket. Your Norfolk Jacket fulfills my dream.

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.

Heavy and authentic fabric, well sewn and fitted. Dry clean only!

The only negative thing is they come in standard inseam length of 36�. Please offer other inseam sizes.

Really like the quality and the service

Pants were okay and fits well but the quality is pretty poor. Once again, not made in USA :( I would gladly pay more for better quality and made in USA.

High waisted, consider ordering a size up. Great quality

These trousers are perfect. The material is heavier than I was expecting, but it's still comfortable on the skin. I was concerned with it being too hot but it's incredibly breathable and cool, probably due to being cotton and not synthetic material. The pockets are enormous, the fit is comfortable, and all the buttons feel durable and secure.

Finally got the right size for Husband ( my mistakes totally) We went a size up to have a layering option.

Love it fits perfect

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.

The pants run a little tight in the waist and thighs, so I order the next size up since they have no stretch. They are not hemmed to allow for all heights.

This coat is insane. All of the reviews are real. How is this $150? Extremely high quality. Everyone will treat you differently. Buy this coat and become a god amongst men.

Great fit top quality and timely shipment. I enjoy purchasing from your company.

Fantastic coat great fit.

This is one extremely well made coat and the brushed twill feels heavy enough for some abuse but is super soft from being brushed, I've even had a drunk seamstress rub her face on it (it was super weird). Plenty warm for fall and will be used for laying in winter, may be a bit much for summer. It does have somewhat of a greenish hue under incandescents, but brown under the sun and regular lights. True to size; I'm a size 42 on tape and in my regular suits, so I ordered the same, and it fits perfectly.

Nice chocolate brown color, deep pockets, and good construction right down to the button holes. Soft cotton fabric with enough bulk to stay warm even on chilly autumn mornings.

Is a good thing but i can't wearing them it is two numbers to big. :-( But i have take the size with your instruction. resend is not a option is to expensive from swiss to usa. that's a shame.

Great coat, great look. Lots of compliments. Heavier material and better construction than I expected. A welcome cold weather companion.

I like this coat, I wanted one for a steampunk outfit and this fits the bill nicely. I have one small criticism and that's why I didn't give it five stars. It has no hip pockets. This may be because of historical styling, but I do find it a bit of a drawback what with car keys and the like. Still, it's a great coat and I love wearing it. The sizing is good (I did take note of the issue with US sizing since I'm in the UK) and it fits really well, looks good too.

The size 44 is narrower than my workware jackets of the same size. An incentive to lose weight is a good thing.

I placed my order, ordered 2 sizes bigger than my normal waste, they are slightly big, but I didn't want the tight look.... so perfect for me. I could totally see how some customers would only want to order 1 size larger though, if they wanted the pants to fit near perfect. My order shipped the next day!!!!!! I ordered a bunch of other stuff too, and the whole order shipped the next day! Sure, I grabbed items that the website said they had in stock, but still, great turn around! I bought the pants that go with this jacket as well, and I have to tell you.... I could wear this suit to work on a daily basis and it will hold up the same or better than a normal suit you'd buy at a men's store. I have zero things to say that are bad about this jacket. The longer length is classic. Makes me look like I'm a little more important than the guy w/ only a standard length jacket.....

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!!

My husband is a volunteer interpreter at the Tinsley House at the Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman, Montana. Our dress is supposed to depict the 1890' s homesteading era These pants to are just perfect. He is demonstrating the weaving looms and needed a look a bit more tailored than others who work in the gardens or the blacksmith shop. Stop by and visit the Tinsley House and farm. (The museum also has a great dinosaur collection.)

I was hesitant in ordering these online. But I am so happy with the product. The material is absolutely wonderful. We ordered one size larger and the fit was perfect. Will definitely be shopping at your online store again.

Had to return the first pair, my body shape required a different size than the size chart suggested. No problem, replacement arrived very quickly. My seamstress custom fit them to me, she was quite impressed with material and construction. They do have a very long rise, but drape well and look good while wearing them.

Good quality pants. Good fit and perfect match for the Brown Suspenders. Very pleased with our order, Will post photo after the "event', as the pants, suspenders and puff tie are part of my outfit for our daughters wedding 22/2/2020

Great match with the Brewster frock jacket .... stepping back in time at monthly Virginia City activities ....

Already have the Brush Cotton Sack Coat so I knew the matching vest was going to be perfect, Good fit for me, I like the four pockets.

My husband loves his new vest. The brushed cotton is a very heavy quality material. The vest's short waist makes it very comfortable for daily wear.

I am very happy with my purchase. The vest was top-quality, looked great and I wore it as part of a Halloween western get-up. But I think I will be wearing it all the time now!

I ordered size XL since I wear 46R coat. The vest fits very nicely and looks real good. Quality is outstanding and the service, including packaging, was excellent. I'm very happy with the purchase.

This is my wedding outfit, period accurate because I am getting married in an 1870 Stage and Pony Express stop. Very excited.

Quality was fantastic and arrived very quickly. Exactly what I was looking for.

Of very high quality and enjoyed by most those who I've shown it to, bound to be a show stealer this Halloween!

Surprised at the heavy weight cotton, less akin to costume wear, more like every day work vest. Buttons are large and tight but will probably loosen up over time.

This vest was a birthday gift as I recently returned in-person to my office job. I�ve always loved dressing up for work, but this (incredibly comfortable and durable) vest has elevated my style game to an entirely new level!!! Everything it�s advertised to be and more!

These Livingston Brushed Vest are always a winner. My actor needed two(2)in Black. Vests were in stock and fit perfect. Thanks to the adjustment strap on back of vest. Always a great feature and so very helpful.

All of the items I have received have met or been above expectation. The only issue is this particular vest is too short for my frame. But I do like the style and quality of it! Respectfully, Nathaniel Branch

I ordered a vest, and I was EXTREMELY happy with the product I received. It was shipped VERY quickly, and it was very high quality. I would absolutely order again from them!

I am a professional carriage driver and was looking for Victorian period clothing to wear at work. I have absolutely loved this vest. It is constructed of very high-quality material, stitching, etc. It fits me very well. I have a 43-inch chest, and the size Large Livingston vest fits me comfortably and attractively. The only consideration I did not account for was the fact that the brushed cotton material picks up the horse hair easily and I simply keep a lint-roller on-hand to deal with it. I would happily recommend Historical Emporium and this vest to others.

SO I'm ito the old west as virtually all customers who come here are, and I also like things to be rugged and heavy-duty enough to last. I also like all-black, and ONLY all-black. And finally, may your respective higher powers of choice bless mother nature's invention of pure cotton. So, with those things said, I can proudly say: I'm happy with this vest as part of my old west style regular everyday wear. I wear my old west stuff (now including this vest) while doing such ordinary things as grocery shopping at walmart once a month. I wear this vest and the rest of my all-black old west all-cotton outfit with my black wool felt low-derby hat, my cotagonal-cornered rectangular-lensed old west sunglasses, my square-toed black leather cavalry boots, my brushed stainless steel mechanical wind-up old west style pocket watch--and so on and so on-- whenever I go to town. And all criticism as to my personal style, be damned. The material this vest is made of has the twill knit of dickies work pants, but feels at least twice as heavy-grade there as, like I'd say equivalent in heavywheight density to modern day cotton duck canvas. It also feels just soft enough to feel nice, yet its texture still has the simultaneous crispness (if that makes sense to you) to also feel as-- if not far more-- durable as any Dickies-like work pants. Yet, thise vest (and now that I've sampled its fabric in person, the entire Livingston black brushed cotton clothing line sold here at H.E.) is...

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

We attended a Murder Mystery Weekend set in 1890 and I wanted a coat for the occasion. The size was perfect and I really liked the styling. It took me less than five minutes on the website to find what I needed and order it.

Excellent coat, high quality, and perfect fit. However, it was a bit heavier than I wanted and returned it for exchange. The exchange was fast, efficient, and I received it in 3 days, same as the original order. These people understand customer service and I highly recommend the Historical Emporium. I am a frequent HE patron. Love these folks.

Ordered to preform Wedding for My Grand Daughter, fit the bill to the T

Nice coat and had that period look and feel. A good fit for the actor I was building a period costume for who was leaving for a film shoot in Austria. The only problem I found was that the p coat buttonholes are too small for buttons. Very difficult to open and close. Since, the actor will be leaving the coat open the problem did not have to be remedied.

I love the coat. I had to take it to the tailor and have the sleeves take up but otherwise it�s perfect.

Nice quality garment. It looks great on my husband.

Having been a Civil War reenactor for almost thirty years, in various time periods, I like the look of a frock coat. And wonder why they were ever shortened to the sack suit. The Emporium is my go-to shop for period clothing. I only wish I could afford more!

I purchased a very very nice Emerson Frock Coat - Gray Herringbone Tweed. I love it. It fits like a glove. Fast shipping but very high Custom fees. But still a great experience shopping at Historical Emporium Stores, Thanks.

The Emerson Frock Coat is very well put-together. It's a little heavier than I was expecting. Not too much so but, with a cardigan, would make for a quite reasonable Fall weight overcoat. The inner pocket is a bit higher than one might expect, but not at all difficult to access. Just an adjustment going from my Coburn to this (plus left/right transition). Very happy with the build quality, fit, and finish.

This coat is exactly what I was looking for it is well worth the $$$$

Just what I needed for a slightly less formal frock coat.

As advertised. Great Quality

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

These trousers are part of Historical Emporium's Grey Tweed herringbone collection. As recommended, choose one size larger than your usual waist size because of the way they fit. You definitely need a nice pair of button-on suspenders to go with these, and use them when you're getting them measured for hemming. I had mine done with cuffs. Beautiful, high quality trousers. I plan to buy more articles in this collection.

Be advised that these are unlined.

These pants are great for a historical wardrobe, they are comfortable and historically accurate. A bit baggy around the calves, which could maybe be tightened a bit, but that is a matter of taste.

These trousers are everything!!! Exactly what I was looking for. Perfect fit, I just had to have my tailor hem the length, as they all come with 36" inseam. Well worth the money for a perfectly tailored and unique pair of trousers.

The fabric stretches a bit which made them feel about 2 inches roomier in the waist than the same size Wahmaker, Livingston, Dorian, or Sable Trousers. These do itch a little bit but that goes with the fabric type. The extra lining helps with that. Stitches ripped open on the waist adjuster and outer seams of the front pockets after about 5-6 wears. Took me a couple minutes to fix with a sewing machine and could easily be done by hand. I really liked these after doing so. They'll last a good while. To me they're worth the price.

Perfect fit and most comfortable! Already a favorite item in my daily wardrobe. Unbeatable experience!

So this is part of my work wardrobe, very stylish and very professional looking.Quality is very good and the cloth is very durable.
