Purchased for a wedding in Montana. Nice XL fit. Nice heavy material. It's made well. it is dry clean only but I wanted to loosen it up a bit so I through it in the dryer with a damp towel on no heat. came out ok.

Extremely pleased with this company!

The jacket is very well made. It is just a bit small. I would recommend ordering up a size.

This coat is perfect for the fall/winter. It’s has weight to it and very well made. I needed it for a cemetery tour I was involved with.

This was described well both in the description and in the comments. To be clear to future people purchasing, this is a very thick garment...almost as thick as a jean jacket, but stiffer. I purchased this for everyday dress up and I love it. but it will take a minute to break in and if you are in a warm climate, this is not the best choice. I look forward to purchasing other colors as well. Thank you!

True to the description and images. Also true to size with room for a think garment underneath if desired. Not many options out there for this style of frock. This looks better than just a costume piece

The fabric is sturdy--essentially denim. Brushed, so with the soft hand of old denim, but with the stiffness of new denim. The fit is correct to slim--for a more casual fit, maybe order one size up. I'm not wholly happy with the seems on the shoulders--they don't lay quite right, but perhaps as the garment breaks in, the folds will relax into a more flattering lay. Still, overall, a very nice coat.

As I mentioned in my review of the Livingston Black Brushed Cotton Vest (which I love), I am a professional carriage driver and I wanted some Victorian era clothing to help me look the part more. While this coat, like it's matching vest, does tend to attract horse hair rather well (which is remedied with the simple application of a lint-roller) I am absolutely in love with it. The fabric is high-quality, as is the stitching that holds it all together. I love the simple yet elegant design of the coat, as well as the handy inside chest pocket and the (very cleverly hidden) two inside tail pockets. These tail pockets were so cleverly hidden that my girlfriend and I couldn't seem to find them, though the wonderful customer service representative at Historical Emporium gladly pointed me right to their location inside the tails of the coat in the lining. This coat is also rather warm on a chilly night, but not so warm that I cannot wear it on the warmer days. I have a 43-inch chest, and I ordered this coat in a size 46. It fits me quite comfortably over my vest(s) and other attire. I would gladly recommend both the Historical Emporium and this frock coat to others!

The quality of this coat is unbelievable. It's heavy, warm, extremely comfortable and very well made.

Great quality, heavy fabric that will last ! Fits great!

This coat, (as I named the review) is very simple. The material has a very thick industrial feel. It's possible that some of the frock coats of that period were. There are no pockets at all on this coat. So with these two facts I could not use this one. This coat is more outfitted for western wear the period maybe the mid 1800's if you are using the coat for costume it would be fine.

i wasnt sure about this one but when i had it i lived it and i still love it, it feels smooth, it is now my favorite when winter comes.

Really good quality. Very hot to wear but it was worth it!

black frock coat looks great fits a little tight have returned it for an exchange. will write a new review when it arrives

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

Looking forward to wearing them in my golf Tournament

I needed something warm to bike to banks and other businesses. Biking out fits don't cut it. Paired with over the knee wool socks and a nice vest and overcoat, these knickers fit the bill. The wool content isn't as great as I'd hoped for, but the synthetic lining makes peddling comfortable.

The quality, style, fit are all spot on perfect

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 Gray Herringbone Tweed knickers are a perfect "second suit" along with the Olive Herringbone Tweed trousers I also purchased from the Emporium. Santa will get lots of "looks" this season!

Fishing in AK! Love them!

I have several Norfolk jackets in pure wool (some bespoke and some off the peg). I have always wanted a Norfolk suit but they're pretty uncommon now except if you go the bespoke route. When I saw Historical Emporium's offering I snapped it up in my size hoping that the 38 waist trousers would be right and it was just about perfect. I'd like a lightly higher rise but that's all personal preference and the pleats probably push us into 1920s or 1930s territory but I love pleats and am glad to have them even if they're not part of the Edwardian aesthetic the Norfolk suit is part of. As part of my Norfolk suit this will join my other Nofolks quite proudly. The button fly, as clearly described in the listing, is a great touch (though it can be finicky, and this is from someone who has a number of corduroys and smart trousers with button flies, but not so finicky that they're a drawback).

The wool knickers are super comfortable for hiking in the White Mountains, thin enough not to overheat you but the wool keeps warm if the weather turns foul (which it inevitably does). Having your lower legs free gives you additional mobility and ease of stride while keeping your knees covered for scrambling up and over rocky spots.

As usual, historical Emporium sells high quality clothing. The trousers are great, and are made with quality fabric. I highly recommend them

Wonderful material, great fit....

Great knickers, but i thought they had a zipper fly because the description wasn't real clear. Button fly is ok but challenging to do up at times.

Excellent quality. Very good fit.

the lining on the inside make it good if you are wool sensitive

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.

This is a great frock coat and I really wanted to love it. Unfortunately, even though the sleeve length and chest were perfect, it is cut really long and just didn't fit my frame (I'm 5'7" coat size 38). The photo shows it to be cut about 2 inches above the knee, which would've been perfect. I could live with it being at or even slightly below the knee. However, it was at least 8 inches below my knees, which just looked ridiculous. I returned it and ordered a different model.

Everything we purchase from Historical Emporium is of superior quality! Delivery is quick as are exchanges. We will definitely be ordering from you again.

Ordering clothing online can be quite "hit or miss" as to fit. This coat fit perfectly - chest size 46. Wearing the coat for a week+ now has definitely turned heads and garnered many positive comments. Dapper is the most prevalent, followed by "quite a statement." All recognize the era the coat represents, though they may not be able to verbalize it. Several people have nailed the look to TOMBSTONE. (Kurt Russell 1993). Having experienced a perfect fit in this beautiful coat, I am seriously considering purchasing the Rifle Coat in the near future. Indeed, quite a fashion statement.

Just perfect. Keep them coming.

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.

I bought this to wear on a cruise which sponsored a Roaring 20s evening. Fits great and looks good for the occasion.

Classic car event

After much searching I found the perfect vest here. Fits well and is very well made. I gave gotten several vests from other places, and that is not the case. I couldn't have asked for better than I got here. And I will definately order a couple more!

My second vest of this style (outgrew the first, it's still in good shape). Quality of everything I have bought from Historical Emporium is excellent. After ordering I learned I would need it earlier than expected and standard shipping might not work. I called customer service to see if I could upgrade to expedited shipping. Customer Service looked up my order and assured me it would arrive on time with standard shipping, in fact it arrived a day earlier than expected. They could have charged me the extra shipping fee and I would have never known the difference. It is so nice to do business with an honest company that offers great products.

Love this vest. It's been hard for me to find a vest that will fit. I'm 5'9" and wear a 2xlt shirt due to having a bit longer torso. I just wish it was available in more colors..I wear it to church and any occasion that calls for a more formal attire...

Wedding, great quality and the perfect flair of class!

excellent quality and frankly better than i expect given the price. I'll shop here again,

Made just a little big width. I will have to take it for alteration. It is a nice authentic vest for any occasion.

The lighter weight but woolen mix makes for a good semi-formal wear. Added a modern point collar shirt with a tie and collar clip for a routine bread and butter outfit. Cut and collar were perfect.

I tend to grit my teeth if I have to spend more than $50 for a vest, but I've got to admit it's very well made. Quality material and stitching. So much so, that after I received the double breasted herringbone vest, I was so impressed with it that I bought the single breasted herringbone vest as well.

Its pretty dark for being "gray". I do like the metallic buttons and the quality overall is very nice, but should be considering its 3x the $ of every other vest I looked at. Biggest complaint and very disappointed that the backing was a black linen material, fairly thick and heavy which made it very hot. All the pictures showed a light gray backing which was highly desired to match with the rest of the wedding attire. Unfortunate.

Exactly what I wanted and the craftsmanship and attention to detail is amazing! I actually ordered the wrong size (first time customer) so I sent it back for an exchange. The turn around on the exchange was lightning fast!

I love this vest! I provides a nice sense of dignity and elegance to my wardrobe and I'm pretty sure my IQ goes up when I wear it. It's comfortable, seems very well made. For example, even the back is substantial, unlike the chintzy material that so many use! Now I just need to find a quality pocket watch!

This is just what I was looking for. The vest seems sturdy, built to last. The blend feels nice-- a touch of wool (25%) but not so much that would make it too warm to wear indoors. I wear this as everyday work wardrobe, not as a costume, so I need something that will last. It's also available in tall sizes, which I need, and which are really hard to find in a lapel vest. I buy vests regularly, but am disappointed with most of them. And most cost more than this one. This vest I am extremely happy with. I may even buy another one--something I never do with clothes. It's that good.

Great character garment, I have always admired the character clothes of actors in the old westerns, from great actors to the B-class movies. I reccomend this company for the quality and impressive results in recreating them so well. Checking sizes will help you, however you will not find better than this company anywhere in my impression. Thanks again.

Everything I have bought form Historical Emporium has been outstanding, authentic and makes GREAT stage clothes for our 3 time music award nominated Southern Rock Band Deacon Stone!! The only tricky part is getting the sizing right. Yes they have charts, but even then it's difficult to gauge (Usually end up getting them too big and then have to buy a second item smaller) which I guess in good for them LOL!!

Wearing it to a western themed party. Tried it on for my wife with the rest of the getup and she loved it. The fit and quality are very good for the price.

The duster is just as advertised. As I was checking the tracking, it said it was already at my door! I am well-pleased with both the coat and you're service. Order your normal size.

I wasnt expecting much but it is very well made. Its a thick canvas and heavy-duty stitching. I put a waterproofing spray befor its first use. I bought the coat one size to big because i wanted it to fit over my body armor. I am an armed security officer.

I can't wait to wear this at an actual event!

LOVE LOVE LOVE this duster, will be ordering more.

This duster is more than I was looking for it to be very happy with it

Duster is high quality and well made. A great duster for the price!

Purchased this as a gift for Grandson and he loved it! Made well & looks authentic- great price and quick ship.

Ordered an XL so I could wear a jacket or insulated shirt under it. Generous sleeve length and I have a long wingspan. Heavy denim will protect from the elements to a point. Quality garment at a good price.

As a big person I am always concerned about fit. This was fine, especially through the chest where I have problems - football lineman build. I wouldn't plan on wearing a suit coat underneath it, if you are a bigger person. Good quality garment especially for the price. Not advertised as water-repellent but I think it would stand up to the rain OK - at least the kind of rains we typically get in New Mexico!

The duster is well made. It is warm at night and keeps the wind out. The duster also repells water and in a light rain should do well. I'm very pleased with the purchase.

Just would like to start out saying that the service I got from Historical Emporium is outstanding !!! The Duster is perfect for my Western Steampunk gear. Fits just right except the sleeves are a little long, but can take care of that. A coworker seen the Duster and tried it on and loved it also. IT is not too heavy either.... feels just right. For the price..... you can't beat it. Just perfect.

the duster is a great weight, light but weighty enough to make an impact visually.

I loved this coat when I first saw it on HE modeled with some trousers I was interested in. While I tend only to purchase natural fiber fabrics, I was very pleased with the look and feel of this blend! I was especially happy that it is a lighter/medium weight fabric than it may appear in the photos. But it's not an inexpensive feeling lightness -- it has a very nice hand. I already have long coats for cold weather wearing here in the PNW, so this one is absolutely perfect for spring, and even summer and fall. I'll be wearing it a lot! This coat is nicely constructed, and will likely hold up for my lifetime. The only negative is the plastic buttons. For me, they detract from the otherwise elegant look of this coat, but the price point for such a fine garment was very reasonable. I did replace them with some nice leather buttons, which likely would have added a lot to the shipped price, but make a big difference in the overall effect.

Stop Looking Around!!!!! You found it.. now just shop!! The Historical Emporium is THE place to get period clothing and accessories. The quality is outstanding and customer service is very quick to ship and answer any questions you might have about an item. We will be back for more wardrobe items.

The size is a little small but that's OK because I wear it in lieu of a jacket and wear it open. If I was going to wear it as an overcoat I would order a larger size. Light weight for southern living.

The coat is well made and fit my husband beautifully. It was delivered in a timely fashion, much sooner than I anticipated.

Nice length . It is vented which was not in the description. Shoulder were too big for a size 38 so have had them altered at $ 35.00 expense. Col Bob

I really like the Emerson Frock Coat. I usually stick to 100% cotton or wool, but this coat is a very nice blend. The material is soft and comfortable and it has the weight of an average sports coat. It seems to be the same material as the tweed Inverness coat. The flap pockets on the front are functional, not just for show. The detailing is solid. All around, this is a nice, well made Frock coat. I am delighted to have added it to my collection.

Love the coat. Fantastic product and am very excited about wearing it

Coat is well made, fits properly and looks great on. The only negative I might offer is that the nap of the lapel doesn’t seem to lie flat. It may be tailored incorrectly but it might just need a good pressing. I haven’t had a chance to sort it out yet. At any rate good value for the money spent.

Excellent quality coat. Sizing is accurate and the appearance is outstanding. Defininitly great value for the money.

I was waiting for my size to come back in stock, and immediately ordered these. Very nice. Made of good tweed. I have bought many items from your store and will continue to in the future.

The quality, style, fit are all spot on perfect

These fit and look amazing! Will be buying more!

Ordered these for my son who was participating in the musical The Newsies, they arrived sooner than expected, were exactly what we were looking for. These were perfect for The Newsies. Thank you for the fast service, and the great product.

Having bought knickers in the past, the inexpensive models aren’t worth much and they use elastic at the legs and waist to fit everyone. These are just my size. Thanks.

The quality of the tweed knickers was awesome along with the fit. Perfect for the 1920's theme wedding!

Looking at the other reviews, I ordered 2 sizes large and they were still small. Also, the elastic cuffs are pretty tight and make extended wear a little rough.

Fit well! Wonderful fabric! Wonderful service!

it sort of has both a cargp pant feel with an elegant retro look i love it !

With an infant time has a way of slipping past, suddenly I look at the calendar and A Gatsby Summer Afternoon was just a week away. I frantically searched and found these. The reviews seems great so I ordered. They got to me fast and when I opened the box I was overjoyed with the quality. they have a great selection of products and I have already been a return customer with equal satisfaction.
