In my case, it is usual the length needs to be altered on these type of pants. It was not unexpected. They are of excellent quality, fit well, and look good.

The pants well made and look great. The BIG PROBLEM is the length. The sizing only takes into consideration the waist. It should also ask the customer for leg length. As a result I had to take it to a tailor for alterations. An additional expense.

Ordered these to play "Black Bart" hired gun in a local fund raiser melodrama. Very impressive product. Fit was exactly as advertised. I'll be back.

Exactly what I wanted, I'm a tall guy and the extra length that comes with the pants made them the prefect length.

Nice pants for casual wear and some outdoor formal events.

How can anyone not like this pant, at least anyone who does not appreciate the turn of the century fashion. Perfectly fit my WWI suspenders. Strong yet supple material, all cloth, no polyester etc. Love the high waist, but may take a little getting used to for the novice. I wear them to teach college writing class, and students think I am dressed in the latest fashion. Imagine that! Really no need to comment on the quality of the construction or material and sturdiness. They are titled "Vigilante," after all. I used to pay $60Us or less for Dockers, but no more. Why not make a statement that most will not pick up on. Pockets, also. I will wear this pant tomorrow to teach ENG100 at University of Hawaii's Hawaii Community College (that is the official title), with the suspenders and a white German field shirt. Beautiful. So happy to have found a seller that cares about quality, precision, and old school accuracy. Aloha, Loren

The pants are good quality and fit except for being super long (about 12" too long) so I will have them altered. They work well with the shirt and suspenders.

Way too baggy around the seat, hips, crutch and legs. The pants only fit reasonably around the waist. I can't imagine that ready-made trousers around the 1900s were that ill-fitting.

I am very happy with the style and construction of these pants but when they suggest you to buy 1 size up you should listen. I am a 34 inch waist but I ordered these in a 36 inch because of that tip and it was exactly right and the 36 inch waist fits me just right. The waist on these is higher than modern jeans / pants which is why the slightly larger size fits better. when I got these they were a bit too long to wear with my luchesse cowboy boots but after I washed them they shrank just a bit and now are a perfect fit with no modifications at all. These look great with the Wyatt shirt I also bought and I am very pleased with them.

I'm a wedding DJ and a big one at that. I needed a pair of pants that didn't feel like Wal-Mart clothing but were worth the price invested. I got that and more. These are comfy, tough pants(order them 2 sizes too big, they DO run a bit small) that ride above the gutline eliminating belt turnover and digging into your stomach. They're long as previously stated, but it only cost me $8.00 to have them hemmed at a professional alteration outlet and they are now bomb (perfect)! Get 'em, you won't regret it.

Same material and high quality as the coat - fit perfectly and only needed the length adjusted

Good pants. Just remember that the waist is much higher than in regular pants, so order them based on your measurement near the height of your bellybutton.

AWESOME pants! I did order one size up based on other previews stating that they ran a little small. Sturdy, well-made, perfect cut (not too sloppy or too tight). Look great with the matching vigilante vest and black elastic tail suspenders! Well worth the money.

Get these trousers! Fit is superb and love the feel. Easy to hem and extremely well made. Purchased this for our steampunk wedding, but can't wait to find more ways to accessorize these pants.

I am very pleased. Well made. Good quality material. Perfect fit.

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 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.

These are very carefully made with excelent seams and sew lines . Obviously made by very attentive hands. Unless you are six foot 5 you will probably have to hem the legs. These are pretty snug for a 38 but they do sit high so if you have a belly go wider. Also they are thick material. Like a heavy dinim so expect them to be warm. Over all these are amazingly nice pants.

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.

These trousers go well with my black dress coat and vest when I go to the range and shoot guns. The pants are extremely tough and can handle the elements and wear and tear that I put through them on a day of shooting rifles and revolvers at the range.

These are excellent quality. I'm not sure why I didn't expect this, but they needed to be hemmed, so just expect to take them to a tailor or hem them yourself.

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.

The quality of these trousers are amazing, they are thick and seem like they will last a very long time! These trousers sit very high. High like I am a 6'4 man and they sit almost 2-3 inches above my belly button. Bear this in mind when measuring for your sizing, but don't be too afraid as the trousers have an adjustable strap for minor adjustments. Definitely recommend pairing these with a set of suspenders to ensure they don't fall down.

Look and feel fine. Would be improved greatly by a gusset in the crotch -- I pulled the crotch seam out on my first big squat, but I will just sew it back. Luckily everything is felled and the fabric is heavy duty.

These are beautifully made. The quality will remind you of how they used to make clothing! I love these britches! Sizing is different you must take measurements from 3inches ABOVE YOUR BELLY BUTTON! I usually wear a 32 but needed to order a 34 for a perfect fit

These pants are WAYYY better than the other Wah brand. The pants for true to size so no order up or down. Canvas is loose but heavy and that works great for me when felling or bucking,riding or working on property to riding horses. Pants are better than what I paid for them am ordering more in future.

Although I prefer if the label were hidden on the inside, these pants were of an amazing fit & quality. Can't go wrong buying these, much easier than sewing your own.

Havent had them tailored yet, but they look nice. The fabric was much heavier and thick than I expected, but still like them

Bought these pants for my sons birthday and even though they were the same brand as the brown ones we bought just a few weeks earlier, the 34 size was way to big, looked like my son was sitting in a barrel. So we exchanged them, very quick and easy process and now my son is happy and will be wearing these to schools at least once a week I am sure since they meet dress code.

I love these trousers! exactly as described. Sizing tips were helpful.

Having ordered from other vendors, when I receive packages, I try to temper my expectations and generally prepare myself to be disappointed. But when I opened my HE packages, I was ecstatically surprised! All I can say is WOW!! You guys are phenomenal! The style, quality, fit, packaging, shipping, customer service... everything has been simply fantastic! I am very proud to be an official new customer! Actually, I have to say the style, quality, and fit of your clothes is superior to my daily modern clothes and I think I'm going to see where i can reasonably swap out your garments for my modern ones. I cannot say enough good things! Customer Service was very responsive in answering my questions about availability, etc. The other huge factor that is very impressive is your fitting directions! They were dead- on and turned out perfectly! I was worried about having to go back and forth to find the right size... but you nailed it! Your care and effort are greatly appreciated!! THANK YOU!

You will love these

Great!! Exactly what I expected.

All of these come with a 36" inseam. I'm no tailor, but I'll try my hand at altering the length.

Very well-constructed; an excellent value. Shrinkage is there all right on first washing but is quite minimal in the waist. Should be washed once before hemming.

The pockets are made from very thin material and makes it hard to retrieve your wallet from the back pocket. The buttons on the fly are a little small and the price is to high. The Frontier Classics are better constructed and at half the price.

I was looking for some American made work pants that are not blue jeans and I have been extremely pleased with these pants they are tough well made and comfortable. Since they have pockets they are practical for everyday use. I wear mine at least once a week. I would recommend them to anyone.

Very durable and hard-wearing item. Be careful of the waist measurement. As they warn, you can't use your existing waist measurement as these actually are above your belly button. I measured around my navel, added two inches to my normal waist, and they were still a bit snug. side The legs are quite long. I had to hem them up. Aside. from that , they are very comfortable and look good.

Quality made pant, w/ heavy duty fabric and stitching. Excellent value for the price.

These well-fitting pants are made of tough canvas. The length was more than sufficient to allow alteration to my inseam length. They are comfortable and I look forward to many years of cowboy shooting in them.

Great looking, fitting & authentic pattern, well made & tough enough for the dirt & grime of the outdoors. Just throw them in the washer, cold water, & I dry in the dryer about half way, then stretch them out & lay them out side to finish drying & do not even need to iron.

Excellent quality! I ordered 2 sizes up from my normal waist size and they fit perfectly. They fit my re-enactment needs perfectly.

Unfortunatily I had to return because I order the wrong size. but from what I saw they are very well made.

The best, but must get the suspenders too. They really compliment and complete the pioneer look. Comfortable to wear.

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.

Great pants better then pictured on website. Will buy more from here when able.

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!

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 are the best pair of pants I've ever bought. The material is top notch and the fit is perfect. One note on the fit: When you are ordering use your true waist size. If your jeans say you're a 36 that means your waist is actually about 40 inches around, so order a 40. I am not one to write reviews, but I am so happy with these pants.

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.
