great fit

I bought this to wear in warmer weather. The fabric is thinner, but still rugged. I shortened the legs and had my tailor use the material to make a pocket on the left hip cheek to match the patch pocket on the right cheek. I've learned the value of having more pockets, and since I wear a long rifle coat with these pants, it doesn't matter if historically accurate or not; it just makes sense to have 4 pockets. The pants fit well and look good; not overly baggy but not rock-n-roll tight either. The fabric feels like its treated for repellency; they look good with the tuxedo shirt and vest. If you're going for the "Tombstone Marshall" look, these will work well.

I like the way these pant fit, but I ordered them in size 40 waist think that they would be loose fitting like my Wranglers... I think I may have to send them back to trade for a 42" waist size...

Had to go up a couple of sizes. Very nice pants. Liked them so much I ordered a second pair.

Completed my Cowboy Fast Draw outfit. I can move well in them, and they are comfortable.

Using for gun fighter rein-actor at a museum

There were a little smaller than the usual size, but other than that, it's great!

I wear a 38" normal waist, measured where they say to and ordered the 42". It was a perfect fit, Heavy duty and made well. They are dry clean only but to loosen them up I put them in the dryer with a damp towel on a no heat setting for a bit. They are long and will need to be altered.

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.

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 have to dress period

We are members of MAFCA, the Model A Ford Club of America. We drive a 1928 Roadster and like to period dress for events and occasions. These trousers, knickers, shirts etc. from Historical Emporium fit the bill. Even though they are earlier vintage, for working guys, they are still in style for the 20's, 20's and even 40's. The fit is good and the quality high. Love the stuff! We are hosting the MAFCA 2024 National Convention at Ruidoso, NM in June and are rigging up for the festivities with new duds.

Can't believe this style ever fell out of fashion, so comfortable, and smart looking. I feel like a human being when I wear these pants. Perfect fit, suspenders buttons appear to be of a quality that will last, same for all the seams. Couldn't be more satisfied.

Love the pattern, bought and am happily wearing. Definitely a larger fit than the same size in similar Frontier Classics pants. A great look for our antique barber shop.

I bought this for Mark Twain Days. Lots of people dress in 1860 attire for the event. I look like I just arrived out west during the Comstock Era.

We attend the Great Dickens Faire in the San Francisco Bay area every year since 2007, with the exception of, well you know, Covid. And my husband had decided that he would like a new pair of pants so he could change up his regular outfit. Coincidentally, doing some googling, we found Historical Emporium. Even more of a coincidence it was about 45 minutes from where we currently were, in the bay area. So we called to see if we could by chance get these pants by picking them up. And the answer was yes. The most amazing customer service I think we have ever had. Not only did they take the time to make sure that this was the right pair of pants. But I think they even stayed a little bit past lunch. They should businesses the art of customer relationships. Thank you so much the pants are perfect. !!

Fit after hemming. Wore to a Victorian Christmas craft show and got lots of compliments

I bought these pants for Halloween and I love them. I had to get them altered around the crotch and the length of the pants but in all honesty I liked that they only go based off of your waist size because it makes them much more customizable for your needs.

These pants fit very well and look great. I am especially impressed with the quality of these. I also like the manufacturer did not put their maker tag on the outside of the garment. The waist size I ordered is 38, although I normally wear 35-36. Packaging and service were excellent.

I like the style of these pants , should have gotten a lager size

Can't wait for Tombstone Arizona for Helldorado days celebrating The OK corral Oct 20. 2023 the hubby should look awesome with a red shirt I also got him.

The fit was great, I'm always nervous when buying mail order. This is the second pair of trousers I have bought from Historical Emporium, I'm sure it won't be the last. I do my own hemming, by hand and it was very easy to measure, cut & sew. I highly recommend your outfits to anyone interested in an accurate 19th century wardrobe.

This is my second order for this pant style, needed a new color. Shipping was quick and the pants fit very well, got lots of compliments on them.

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.

Beautiful color and print. They fit well around the waist, but sadly, the legs and backside were far too baggy. These unfortunately were a return rather than a costly trip to alterations.

Our grand daughter has chosen the theme of late Victorian for her wedding. Her colors are red and Gold. The first coat, shirt and pants that I ordered were too big and I needed to return them for the next smaller size. The exchange was accomplished within 5 days. A company rep. was very helpful when I called about the problem. The replacement garments are a good fit although I will need a small alteration to the vest because my middle is larger than my chest. Quality & workmanship of clothing is excellent and I expect that they will last for many years.... and Never go out of style. Thank you! I plan to order additional items in future.

Just received them back from the tailor. Look and feel good

I have several musical acts that require 19th century garb. These striped trousers add yet another dimension of authenticity.

I purchased these for my son to wear in Western reenacting

Product was exactly as expected, and transaction went smoothly as expected. Many thanks for your service.

I wear period correct outfits for classes and events at our local museum. These trousers are perfect for that. They are comfortable and appear to be very well made. These were shipped to me when I exchanged the first pair, which I ordered way too small. Historical Emporium was great to deal with and shipped out the return quickly, no hassles, no fuss.

I bought this to wear when I give tours at the local museum. We have several buildings from the victorian era it the trousers fit right in! Thank you for providing awesome products!

The pants are well made and styled. The customer service was excellent! I had to order three times due to mistakes on our part and the replacements wers super quick and returns easy.

The pants fit perfectly! As noted in the online description get them hemmed to fit your leg length, which I did. I bought this pair for wearing at the Mescal film set when helping with the tours. We dress in 1800's wardrobe. I plan to purchase some more pants in the near future & can recommend them to anyone who is looking for that 1800's look.

This is my first time experiencing trousers with this kind of fit, and I'm pleased with how comfortable they are. I would recommend them to anyone needing a roomy fit in their pants.

Their sizing info is on point! And it fits over cowboy boots pretty well!

These are just as described & are true to size! Thanks!

True to size in waist, the leg length however is excessively long, a quality seamstress can fix this, incredibly authentic, I'm an Irishman so fits perfect with my style.

We were very happy with these pants, it was historically accurate to the time period and looked good when it arrived

Great fit and construction! I am 6'5" and like my pants to sit on my actual waist (unlike modern pants of today) and these were just the ticket! Plenty long and adjustable, as well as warm. Nice deep pockets. Well worth the price!

No occasion thank you just wanted to try you guys for the first time. Everything is wonderful thanks & well-made. Definitely use you again although it would be rather nice for you add the cuff & allow buys a choice of inseam measurements- cheers!! Bob Hart - now I'm a right 'Toff'

Great quality fabric and construction.

really love these pants. The detail like the tightener in the back really add to the Victorian feel.I am kind of a public figure in a Victorian village, and a nod to the past without overdoing it is PERFECT for me. Hope to see more things become available.

Fit is true to size, excellent material weight, excellent craftsmanship, very good historical accuracy.

Love these pants ! Quality and fit ! Thank you

I have nothing bad to say about these trousers, they just weren't my taste. They're just too thick and heavy for my personal taste. There is an endless number of what I describe as 'little red dots' within the herringbone pattern. You can't see them in the photo on your web site, but when I saw them I was instantly turned off by them. I am a loyal, dedicated customer and have never before these trousers ever been disappointed, it's NOT "Historical Emporium", it's just specifically that pair of trousers, that's all, no big deal. You guys are still awesome! I asked for an exchange for the Brown 'Grady Striped" trousers that I've had my eye on. I'm hoping that I'll like them when they arrive. The "Sable, brushed cotton trousers, vest, and frock coat are all on my radar... stand by, ok?

Very nice pants.

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
