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

Title says it, the pants are AWESOME. Well made, durable, and beautiful. But be warned size up! If you have order historical emporium pants in the past and they fit got up an additional size for these.

Perfect choice to go with the sable frock coat. Good construction, but the button fly is tight and must be broken in. Soft cotton fabric with enough bulk to stay warm even on cold winter mornings.

A Little on the OD Green Side I was looking more for a dark brown. I had to buy a second pair because they run really small. I had to add 4 inches to my waist size to get a pair that actually fits Now I'm stuck with two.

Quality is spectacular and the shipping is as if I walked into the store and purchased it, delivery from the west coast was quick like I've never seen. Customer service top notch, size of clothing was as described. Best to get one size larger as with all dress clothes due to the high waist. Best clothing company ever!! Awesome customer service, will order again and again.

These pants look and feel great, I will order more.

Oh for this higher waist style to be in fashion in the 21st century. A heavy fabric that makes for a great silhouette and great fit. Was concerned about weight of fabric on hot summer afternoons, but perfectly comfortable.

The absolute best quality and AMERICAN MADE.

Unbelievably comfortable. I highly recommend these.

Really nice pants! Fairly lightweight so they can be worn in warm as well as cooler weather!

These are well made and historically accurate trousers. I like the way they fit but the material, though cotton, is heavy. I thought it would be much more lightweight for the summer which is why I got the cotton instead of wool. They are closer to a canvas.

The fit is perfect, the look is exactly what I needed to dress up an outfit I bought earlier. The quality of your items is remarkable!

Fits my husband perfectly. Arrived early then expected. He loves it.

Style is what we were looking for. Have now tried second pair. Good in the waist but the seat area he could carry an extra load. way to roomy to take the time to alter. they will be heading back soon.

These were better than I was anticipating. Soft fabric and nicely assembled. Worth them money and sized as indicated.

I was very pleased with how soft the material was and the length was plenty long for my 35 inch inseam

My husband couldn't be happier with the fit and fabric. We read other reviews, we measured and ordered one size up from normal size pants. They fit great. Thanks for a great place to buy well made clothes.

If I could give less than one star I would. I got these pants for my fiancee because he's a big man and pants are hard to find for him, especially the length. He put them on last night and no sooner did he sit down than the seam along the zipper busted right out. These pants were not tight, but they busted out anyway. Then, he put his hand in the pocket and the stitching busted out there. These are the worst pair of pants we have ever purchased for him.

The cotton material these pants are made with really add a lot of class and authenticity. Very sturdy, like you won't snag, wreck or split it no matter how much you try. Really glad I went with this over wool!

Realy nice trousers and the pale colour will work well with the Davenport coat

Pants are GREAT!! Well made and much more comfortable than jeans. The rep I spoke to recommended one size up from my jeans size and the fit was perfect. VERY pleased with product and overall experience. Will definitely buy more clothing in the near future.

They perfectly, and are very comfortable. I wear these for work and they are perfect for me. I will be reordering.

I absolutely have fallen in love with these Khaki trousers. I have integrated them into my daily wardrobe, and for my body type (medium/large - "Husky" build), suspenders and trousers like these are a perfect fit. I've paired these trousers with a brown leather shoes, a light brown tweed vest, and a light blue collared shirt that has a cream and white check pattern in it for a timeless, dapper look. I would love to immediately buy 3-4 more pairs of these and add them to my wardrobe, however my size (40) is out of stock, with no replenishment date set by the manufacturer at this time. You better believe I'll be checking back for these on a regular basis so that I can buy some. In the meantime, I'm considering going to a local tailor and having a couple of pairs of Chinos made that feature the high waist, and the suspender buttons that are featured in these trousers. These are absolutely fantastic.

I am always impressed by the quality of Historical Emporium's clothing. These trousers and are a nice weight, but not too heavy to be hot in warm temps. They fit as expected from the other pants from HE. I received many compliments on my outfit (bought the matching jacket as well) at our Mardi Gras ball. I am anxious to wear it Mardi Gras day! Thanks HE!

I love these pants. Great quality. Definitely recommend.

Nice pants but they run small!

In 2016 I weighed 468 pounds, had a 60 inch waist and a 64" chest. I went on a diet and lost 200 pounds. I put on my old pants and they fell to the ground. I followed the instructions and ordered thees wunnerful pants one size greater than what I now wear. The 46 waist is very nice. I must shorten the legs inseam to 31". The pocket placement is perfect for me. Vertical on the front and deeeeep!

No complaints, only a suggestion- inseam hemming service would be icing on the cake.

I got my order on time, and the product is exactly what I wanted. Very comfortable! As always, make sure you read all the info regarding the sizing so you don't have to exchange it anything. I purchased this pair of pants for my Malcom Reynolds (Firefly) cosplay at Denver Pop Culture Con 2019, and cannot wait to try it out! Thank you Historical Emporium!! Sidenote for any other cosplayers going as Malcom Reynolds....It does not have Mal's signature stripe down the pant legs, so you will have to sew it on yourselves. This is not a complaint, but something to take note of.

Well made trousers, good quality fabric, but the size we ordered was too big. We returned & re-ordered a smaller size.

These pants are perfect khakis for a gentleman like myself. The pants have a classic rise that comes to the navel and a fish back. The pockets are lined in the khaki canvas. If you are a slimmer gentleman like myself you will want to order in the same size (or even a size smaller) than your typical pants as these sit at the stomach and not at the hips like modern fashion pants.

Fit great, and look even better!

My wife hemmed the legs and they fit perfectly. Light weight material will help to stay cool in the hot southeastern summer.

These lightweight twill trousers are just the thing for summer wear. Extremely comfortable and (except for the length prior to alteration) a perfect fit. I wear these all the time, not just to "Western" events, simply because they are so comfortable, especially in hot Texas weather. Why we ever transitioned to bluejeans, I'll never understand. I'm very happy with these, and plan to buy a couple of additional pairs.

Rugged, Comfortable and good looking. You can wear these to work or a dance. What a find.

these are so amazing! I usuallu wear standard 501 jeans and have always been slightly uncomfortable. But these high-waisted pant are just the right amount if room! Can't wait to purchase more.

Fit good and look authentic. Really happy with these pants!

worked great!

I recommend the trousers. They are everything I was looking for.

I started buying these trousers for reenactments (suitable for a wide range of impressions and periods), but now I wear them all the time. I hope you stock them for a long time because they take forever to wear out. I particularly like the comfort of a "suspender" fit and the fact that the pockets are made out of the same tough material as the pants themselves. It's impossible to put a hole in them.

These trousers are amazing! The Fit and Quality are excellent! and look great on the Husband. Amazed at the thickness of them, these will be replacing his jeans. We'll be ordering more, he prefers the cut and fit to 'modern' pants. thank You for offering such great clothing. Cheers, Tere

Great pants. On the heavy duty side so probably best for cool weather!

The feel and look of these trousers will impress anyone who sees or wears them. Hardy material and quality craftsmanship make these trousers you can go to a fancy dress party one day and do farm work the next without a hitch. Great for horseback riding too.

I use these pants as a costume and they work for early Victorian through the 1950's as well as for Western wear. I have purchased many of these pants over the years and they never disappoint! They are true to measured size.

These trousers are comfortable, fit great (did purchase one size larger like was told) great for men who carry a gun in pocket because of very deep pockets, also can carry my gloves, etc. when out in pasture working. I am very pleased with the quality and fit. I purchased the suspenders from you also.

Very well made and fits perfectly. Great quality. Fits true to size.

Overall, just as described. Trousers fit well, and are comfortable. Only negative comment, minor issue where the stitching attached the front fly to the legs. Just unbuttoning the fly and the stitching ripped, can repair by hand, but seemed like the stitching wasn't very substantial from the factory.

excellent pants. very sturdy heavy gauge fabric. would be 5 stars but back buckle broke, needs to be double stitched.

Outstanding quality and perfect fit (definitely order 1 size larger). Will be buying another pair or two in other colors. Shipping was very fast, received in less than a week. My husband and I are pleased, and highly recommend this source for all those steampunk items you can't or don't want to make yourself.

Great quality, authentic design

Great quality, authentic design

This is the second time I have ordered the Ferndale Striped Trousers due to their great look and reliable quality. While they are true to size as described on the website, it should be noted that because they are cotton, they do stretch once worn and heated up by the body - similar to how jeans will stretch out once worn several times. I highly recommend these durable trousers.

Great style and fit! And as usual, quick service from HE!

Do as other reviewers have suggested, and step up your pant size, just as I did. And don't forget to order your suspenders because if you think you can find button suspenders in your town as I thought I could, you will be coming back for a second order and paying additional shipping charges.

I was very pleased with the quality of the item, very well made for the price.

I love these trousers. Exactly as described, did need to cut and hem them, but that was expected. They fit well, and I am quite happy with this purchase. Highly recommendable Purchase.

Highly recommend!! I find them so comfortable on a day to day basis.

These are probably the best pair of pants I've ever owned, I wore a pair for over a year or so before the constant use and abuse wore them out. I was devastated when I could no longer wear them and the Emporium didn't have my size at the time, luckily they finally came back in stock recently and I couldn't be happier! They're comfortable, sit nice and high, and have plenty of room in the pockets. I love the stripes and how they look once properly hemmed, I definitely recommend 'em

I wear a 32 in Levis. I should have ordered a 34 No way to alter waist. Order large and tailor to fit.

Wow! These are great! Wore them w/ my Vigilante coat to Church & received lots of compliments. I'm one of those jack of all trades kinda guys. I can weld as well as stitch a seam so I hemmed them with a 1" rolled up cuff for snazzy-ness sakes. Also, ordered a size up like they said to do & what a perfect fit! Now I'm ditching jeans as work pants & ordering the canvas version of these. They're that comfortable & well made :)

I ordered these and within days it was at my doorstep. The pants fit around my boots perfectly with no bagginess and though the pants are longer in length, they never ride low on my boots or go below the heel., very comfortable and the stripes are well defined. Definitely happy with the purchase

These period trousers worked perfectly for the theater costume I wanted to create. The advice of ordering one size bigger than your normal pant size was most helpful and assured that the fit was ideal. I normally wear a 36 waist (35 really) but to be cautious I ordered the Ferndale pants in a size 38. The higher-riding waistline fit me perfectly and once my wife hemmed them, and suspenders were attached, I was totally satisfied with the look and authenticity. The website stated that size 38 was "special order" and could take 10 to 14 days to arrive. Imagine my surprise when they came in 4 days. Great service and great product.

I'm a little surprised I didn't buy these earlier. They're very nice on all counts. The pattern and color look sharp; bolder and more eye-catching than solids, but not so much that they're garish. The material is lightweight and comfortable. And they just look dang good. Frankly, I'm starting to think the matching vest is calling my name to go with these pants. In short: These are a good pick!

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

As a cowboy action shooter, these pants will add a bit of flash to my outfits, good quality great color. Can't wait to get to a shoot with these.

It is a nice product. Unfortunately, ordered two-size larger than I need. Will send it back for exchanged.

Love these pants! Great fit and it sits on the waist perfectly. Great color scheme and very durable. I will continue to purchase for them.

I have been wearing heavy canvas pants with suspenders for 10 years while operating a historically accurate canal boat. Heat and the bulk of the pants have made them unbearable. My new lightweight cotton period pants have allowed for easier movement and less suffering from the heat.

These trousers are perfect for our upcoming production of "Newsies!" They fit well and are perfect for the end of the Victorian period.

They fit well (with suspenders of course) and the material is very good quality, and very comfortable.

I bought these trousers as a sample first purchase before I dove in all the way on my Tombbstone/Doc Holliday/Val Kilmer outfit for my annual Halloween party. The quality and fit are excellent. I then ordered the rest of the outfit (Historical Emporium has the product lineup to essentially recreate one of the Doc outfits). Also excellent. I recommend their products. Very pleased. Customer support is also very friendly.

Very quick response arrival of package only took a couple days and was exactly what I was looking for

They fit great! I am going to wear them as much as I can!

The pants I ordered were poorly made. They recommend I go up a size from what I normally wear, I went up two sizes. After only wearing them for 4 hours, (two of those hours were in a car) I slightly squatted and these pants busted from the crotch down to my knees, straight down were the stitching was. I recommend going up three or four sizes if you are going to be moving around.

The trousers I bought fits like a glove usually wear a waist 32 or 34 the waist 36 fits very well with this design. very happy customer Bryan R Agudo

They are everything I hoped they would be. They are strong and well made, as good as any blue jeans. Sizing advice was spot-on, they fit perfectly. The only mistake I made was not buying suspenders as the same time. I have some but can't find them now that I need them.

I bought these trousers for every day wear, and so far I am very happy. I am 6'2", 270 lbs and bought the size 44. They are comfortable and fit me well, and the pockets are plenty big enough for all my junk, including wallet, leatherman, lighter, pen knife, small magnifying glass, lucky rock, and occasionally a snub nosed revolver (I have a license). These are the second pair of trousers I've purchased from Historical emporium. I've had the first pair several years and I wear them frequently. If you like to wear something other than jeans, these are a good way to go.

Purchased for cowboy shooting and there fine in every respect. Would strongly recommend

The pants were everything I hoped they would be. Build quality is nice, the back cinch is easy to use, and the material is thick but not uncomfortable. Legs are a bit long, but that is easily solved by a quick trip to a tailor, or rolling them up. The price is fair, especially for such a niche product. I'd say I'm going to buy another pair - but I doubt I'll live long enough to wear out the pair I already have!

I love these pants. Great quality. Definitely recommend.

Trousers fit well but are heavy weight for Florida heat. Any recommendations for lighter weight?

Bought these for my husband and he loves them! They look great on him too! They were easy to hem to his correct length. They seem very durable and wash up nicely. Will certainly buy these again. Can't say enough good things about them!

If it was told to me that I could either wear these trousers or modern pants for the rest if my life I would throw away all of my modern cloths and gladly wear these trousers . They are seriously the most comfortable trousers I own, and that's why i ordered this pair and i know ill order more down the road.

These pants were very well made. I purchased for Civil War and Revolutionary War re - enactment, so I had to return. What I needed was a lighter fabric. These would make great work pants. The service was great and shipped very promptly. A good company to deal with.

fit perfect, I ordered 2 sizes bigger than I wear and after washing fit perfect

Perfect advice on fit, High quaility materials, heavy duty sewing everywhere. Great pants!

They fit correctly, they look good and they feel good. Glad I got um!

I love these daks... I wear them all the time .. I will be back for more...

I'm very happy with the quality of these trousers, they washed up nicely. These are not a light weight summer trouser by any means. At this point I don't know how the color will hold up after a few washes with them being crimson. It looks to me like these trousers will last for a very long time, even if the washing machine fades the color.

I followed the recommendation of purchasing these trousers a waist size larger than what I normally would wear. Instead of a 42 waist a 44...perfect fit in the waist, very comfortable, the workmanship seems to be high quality. I like these trousers very much.

Giving this five stars because they fit very well, once shortened by the tailor. They will look just right as my husband works at a Victorian Western theme park. These crimson pants will be used while he's running a carousel and a Ferris wheel at birthday parties. I'm hoping that they will not fade with frequent washing as the last pair did. That pair which we ordered about 6 months ago, was black and lost their sharp color within a few weeks. He can still wear them while teaching gold panning on different nights, as the faded look works OK with his 49'rs character. But for the price, I'd hoped for more. He will probably stick to browns from now on as they fade much less. This is Jim's 5th set of trousers from Historical Emporium in the past 3 or 4 years. If they were a bit less we'd probably purchase them more often.

I am 6" 1' and weight 183 lbs and normally wear a size 34 for normal pants. So I ordered a size 36 for the crimson canvas and it fits me very well. Had to get the length adjusted by a professional tailor. Despite not having a lining, the canvas pants are very soft and comfortable. Will probably go for the olive green next time.

Professional Santa needs work and less formal clothes. These period trousers are perfect for Santa to wear with special needs kids and adults that are intimidated by the full formal Santa look. C9lor is a dark purple-ish crimonson, which is a nice change, but woild like a good scarlet in Santa size. They also are tough enough to take the wear and tear of people sitting on your lap. Wash up nice, kind of yack tolerant. Will buy again.

I really like these pants. They fit well; the waist is high so that it looks better compare to todays 'low-riding' pants. I like the long inseam because I can hem the pants to my desired length. I will certainly show at Historical Emporium again!

Pants look great. The fit is good, if you realize that they intentionally ride very high (middle of my stomach) and *need* suspenders.

The high waist seemed uncomfortable at first, but they make perfect sense with a waistcoat. It's hard to slouch while wearing that combination.

Customers, These pants were awesome. Nice weight fabric and perfect for our production. They will be an excellent addition to our costume stock. Theatre girl

I like the trousers but would like them even more if they fitted me. Despite following your explicit measuring formula exlicitly, the tousers were so big that i could have fitted myself into them twice. I had the trousers as a gift from my wife on Christmas day. You can imagine her disappointment when i unpacked my present. After having paid import duty and the shipping cost they became a rather expensive pair of trousers which I can't use. Dissapointment all round. As we don't live just around the corner (Europe) it's too difficult to come around to exchange them for a smaller pair that would fit me and too expensive. So here we are, i'm stuck with them. May I suggest that you review your measuring chart, or, if the chart is correct check that the garment measures up the the size on the label. It's a pity that things didn't turn out as we had hoped.

Sizing, quality, color, everything about the pants were amazing.. I am a big and tall person and I am both amazed and satisfied with the product in everyway. Thank you!

I'm actually really surprised at the quality of the product. This and everything else I bought was top notch!

I love these trousers. They look great from the front but be aware that on large fellows like myself, when coupled with suspenders they look a little like a pair of wading trunks one might wear trout fishing. My advice is to never wear them without a vest or jacket on of some kind to cover the waist.

Well made and true to size

I like the quality, fit and weight of the material very much. I operate a very fast paced, busy hot dog cart. I wore these pants and the matching vest in 95 degree weather and it was very workable(especially the trousers). Very happy with this purchase.

My review for the matching vest is pretty much the same for the pants. They fit well and are comfortable. Combined with the vest and spats it give me one of the costumes I use for park/busking magic show.

Once I got the right suspenders, these trousers fit splendidly. They ride high compared to modern fashion, but that design is arguably more comfortable and less constraining than wearing a belt. The length and fit were perfect (I'm 5'11")—no adjustment needed. Prepare to spend time ironing!

I was impressed by the quality of these trousers. They're a functional clothing item made out of thick material and made to last. This is not a cheaply made throw-away costume piece! Note that for me, these trousers ran a little small: a 34-inch waist fit me better than my usual 32-inch. I give these trousers 4 stars instead of 5 only because of the visible brand-tag stitched on the outside, above the seat: such advertising threatens to break the illusion that a period piece like this is intended to create.

Wonderful call quality. Very sturdy pants. Wonderful striped embroidered stitching.

I ordered this, and the matching vest, for a festival here in historic Scenery Hill, PA where we celebrated the first 100 years (1785-1885) and yes this was a little later time period but I and everyone loved it. I was the tour guide through the Historic District and many remarked on my clothes. Our Heritage Festival was a hit and this outfit is sure to be used several times a year for other events and festivals in our village.

I bought these for their look with little hope for their comfort. I am pleasantly surprised to find these trousers are comfortable in addition to looking sharp. Because these are built to historical standards and have a higher rise than modern pants, I followed the advice about ordering a size larger than one normally wears. Well, actually I screwed up entirely and ordered 4 sizes larger than I intended, but a quick e-mail to customer service fixed that without any delay. So I am pleased with the trousers and very pleased with the customer service. For anyone who is unfamiliar with ordering trousers like these, you will be taking them to your tailor for hemming. They have a hem, but for an extremely long leg length. This is a feature, not a problem! A tailor will give you just the length and "break" you like for the shoes you will likely be wearing. Pre-set inseam lengths cannot do this as well. The end result is delightful. I wish I could get a version of these with some stretchy fabric incorporated to make dancing a tiny bit easier. That would not be historically accurate, but would be convenient. Please do not think of this as a complaint about these pants. That would be another product. These trousers are marvelous.

top quality pants, nice long leg which is good as i need it being 6'6"

very happy. great quality and fast shipping

These fit wonderfully...I have trouble finding regular clothes that fit...it was a real treat to find costuming that works without a lot of tailoring. Thank you.

Very comfortable and fun to wear. The vertical stripes make you look taller and slimmer! I would suggest buying suspenders to go with them.

I purchased these with the matching vest. The first time I wore the vest, I wore white ducks as these were being hemmed. When I did wear them together, I received numerous compliments, such as, "Smashing!" They are very comfortable and easy to care for. I ordered one size larger, as suggested, and they fit perfectly. A terrific set.

These are very comfortable. The material is a lighter weight than the canvas work pants, but still feel sturdy. Perfect for this summer. Ordering, as always, was a snap.

Had to replace the last set of pants that I got from you all, as I have lost quite a bit of weight over the last year, these are great will love shooting in them, they fit the time period perfectly.

Well made trousers, good quality fabric, but the size we ordered was too big. We returned & re-ordered a smaller size.

Awesome quality - and while the trousers are really long, a relatively simple job for a tailor to resolve.

I bought this pair of Jennings Striped Trousers to complete a suit that I also purchased at Historical Emporium. And it a ll looks awesome together.
