Great fit and color

Everything good about the shirt. The good thing about the band collar shirts is that they work so easily with bandanas. The bandanas lay just right when there is no collar in the way. All good!

You will not get a better value

The shirt is well made and was represented accurately online.

Great shirt, works well with Steampunk! Soft cotton and fits very well.

Awesome shade with extremely comfortable cotton and stitching. I wear it all the time.Going to get some of the other colors.

Very good quality. Fits perfectly thanks to the sizing guide.

Some week ago, I received my latest order, the Chocolate-colored Fundamental Work Shirt. What can I say, no loss in quality regarding this item, on the contrary in fact. The fabric feels terrific when I wear the shirt. It has a warm brown color, which actually isn't done justice in the pics online. I'll definitely order some more colors of this shirt.

The fundamental work shirt fits great and gives a great look and feel for the Steampunk Victorian look I needed. I am very happy with the shirt I purchased.

Great old west shirt. Awesome work and fit. Would recommend this company to anyone looking for good quality and price.

Very comfortable, only have one wish that there was a pocket on this or a similar type shirt.

This is a very well made shirt i will be buying more in the future.

lots of compliments, might as well send a few dozen business cards. everyone wants to know where i got the shirt, tired of writing it down for them.

This is a work of art, beautifully tailored and I am impressed by how supple the material is, I thought it would be stiff and need to be washed several times. And the color is very rich. Highly recommend this item.

Beautiful ole western shirt! Wife loved it! Thank you Historical Emporium.

WOW! What a surprise! This is a claimed "work" shirt; but, if you're waring this shirt while you're working, you be workin' IN STYLE! The workmanship of this shirt is awesome. The embroidery around the neck and chest is exquisite. I ordered it for a Civil War reenactor uniform shirt. Our unit is finally going to "Exact" uniform standards and this shirt will more than amply do the job!

These shirts are purchased for my husband as a work shirt. The quality is excellent. He loves these shirts and wants one in every color. This makes his 6th shirt. He has four already that he has worn / lasted for three years so far and has a lot more wear to go. I just purchased two more and he loves the colors and wants more!!!

High quality and I actually wear it to work during the week. these shirts are part of my normal work wardrobe.

The quality is phenomenal. I have to purchase more.

I like this shirt because the fabric is good, the double stitching is good, and the fit and feel of this XL, somewhat puffy shirt is excellent.

This shirt is excellently made from high quality fabric. My husband looks very handsome in it.

I ordered this shirt and it was on my doorstep in no time at all. I was so pleased when I opened the shirt"s package and tried it on. Fits perfectly. I was so happy with the first one ( NAVY BLUE ) that I ordered a (Aqua colored) one right away. It also was on my doorstep in no time at all and it fits perfectly. I'm impressed with the quality of the shirt and the service I received. When I want other old western style shirts or pants I will be coming back here to buy

The navy shirt has quite a distinct cut, slightly more full than the red workman's (forgot name) I purchased earlier. I am equally pleased with this shirt as the last, and will be looking for a deep green one next. By the way, they wash beautifully, but bleed til second wash, so just wash with darks..and do NOT dry. Hanging them to dry has left the style and size intact. Off to shop...

Nice shirt need one in wine color size XL Very happy with the item I purchased in the passed

I love the shirt! It fits pretty well, and the sizing chart is accurate.

excellent shirt fit and color

A very fine shirt.

Material feels substantial but comfy; sleeves give lots of room to move; comfy neck and cuffs; nice detailing. The only point I would EMPHASIZE is that it MUST be washed in cold water. The pleat detailing beside the button band reduces the stretch across the chest. It is not forgiving - esp. if you shrink the shirt by washing it in warm water (like I did). I tried to order a larger one in navy, but it was not available.

Wish it was made in America, I would pay more for a shirt made in America!!!!

Just replacing some of the other items that I have bought from you before everything is in good looks good that's good and a great quality

So I work at a chocolate factory and we were testing a new batch of cherry flavored chocolate. I personally hate the taste but it tested good in focus groups. Anyways, I split hot fudge and it blended right into my shirt. I decided to jump in and the supervisor hasn't found me for 3 days. The camouflage is just too good.

I have to dress period

This shirt was my Christmas present for myself. I know, a bit selfish! But it was well worth it! It feels good, looks good, and is worth every dollar! Merry Christmas to me!

Shipping was very fast. Fit, finish, and sizing of this product is excellent. Historically very appropriate for last quarter of the 19th Century. A little fancy for a work shirt but perhaps a "go to meeting" shirt. I like it. I have purchased clothing from Historical Emporium, for years, to do historic shooting with Single Action Shooting Society and National Congress of Old West Ssootists. I have yet to be diappointed. I have only praise for everything I have purchased and for Historical Emporium. You will not go wrong with this company.

I recieved this shirt faster than expected. I have checked it over very well and it is of fine quality. I tried it on and the fit is excellent. I have yet to wear it, but if the multitude of olther clothing from Historical Emporium is any indication, I am sure it will wear well and I will be very pleased.

I work in the blacksmith shop at Historic Camden Park in Camden, SC and so I own several Early American type work shirts. The shirts I have from Historical Emporium are my "go to" shirts. They are well made, rugged and great to work in. The Lamar Work shirt in Burgundy is my fifth and most recent purchase and I get compliments on it each time I wear it. For the money, I don't think you can beat these shirts.

I have bought four shirts off this site. Everyone has been of high quality. This shirt once again is superb, a little heavier than a cotton shirt but soft. The design on the front is subtle and is a great splash of design. Sturdy built I wear this as an everyday. This place does not sell cheap stuff. I wear all my shirts and none have developed problems.

This shirt is built from what feels to be some sturdy material. I expect that I will be able to get moderate use from this shirt over several years. If I am wrong about this shirt and it does not hold up to moderate use, I will be back to update this review.

This is a top quality shirt and the fit is great. I plan on purchasing more of them. It is a very comfortable shirt to wear.

Really nice shirt fits well & feels good cotton is not scratcy next to your skin . My 12 year old grand daughter gave it a 2 thumbs up rating & in my kind it can not be rated higher than that . I wear what I buy as every day clothes so fit & comfort along with looks matter to me .I will probably buy a few more for every day casual wear

They may call it a work shirt, but it looks good enough for leisure wear as well. The fabric seems to be sturdy and durable enough to qualify as a work shirt. It will receive a bit of rough wear over the next few months, and I anticipate it will retain its good looks.

Perfect colour and nice fit.

My husband is extremely pleased with this shirt. It was originally bought for a costume but he's now planning to order at least one more for regular wear. The fabric is a very nice weight and quality and I am impressed with the construction and quality of the seams. The colour is a perfect deep burgundy.

OK, so I am new to Cowboy Action Shooting, and dressing the part. The thing is, I,m not really a great shot, SLOW, but DAM, do I look good in this shirt, and it,s always MIND OVER MATTER, I don't mind being slow, and it just dosent matter. Great product, great fit, thanks so much. BUTCHER CREEK BOB.

Western reenactment, fit well. Fast shipping.

Excellent 19th century look . well made . Will be adding to my collection of what i consider normal dress...

I was impressed by the quality of material and workmanship as soon as I opened the package, and it fit great, too. Get compliments every time I wear it to work, or even just around town. Plan to purchase several more in different colors.

Recieved my order quickly and in fine shape. I wore it first to a "workin' folk" dinner. The shirt looked dashing. Then used it on the shooting range (Cowboy Action Shooting) and it functioned even better than it looked. Plenty of arm room and flexibility. Material is nice, not flimsy, the color is fast after washing, the fit is nice and the size to fit relationship is accurate. A excellent workin' mans shirt. I have a second in maroon. I might yet get another.

Quality, durability, responsiveness as always EXCELLENT. Many more orders to follow.

The Fundamental Work Shirt is a good fit. I'm 220 pounds, 5'9" tall, and the 2X fits well, except the sleeves are a little long, but not so long I need to send them back. The Essential Work Shirt Seems slightly fuller, and the fabric seems somewhat heavier, but the overall fit is close. Both types are relatively easy to get on and off, and seem nicely made. The shirts have a definite "night shirt" look to them, but they are comfortable and roomy. I tried them on with bluejeans, and khakis, and they look good--a combination modern/retro look. I expect some looks and comments when I go out in the world wearing these shirts. I fully expect to have to answer the question, "Where did you buy that shirt?" I will wear them alone or with my Woolrich wool vests, which looks great. If you want some casual shirts that are different, and will set you apart from the rest of the herd, give these shirts a try. You'll be the only cat in town with genuine manly puffy sleeves. If you can pull that off, you'll be a man, my son. (Sorry, couldn't help it. A little fun with Rudyard Kipling's poem, "If--.")

comfortable fit, shipping was fast and accurate

I'm certain I've secretly desired this exact shirt for my entire 45 years! I can add how the draw strings seemed too long at first and were somewhat annoying. But after the first wash they magically shrank to the perfect length as I used cold water with a medium heat drying-cycle.

I bought this shirt for my wedding to complete my outfit for the day. Safe to say I absolutely love it. It is perfect. The fabric is so soft amd comfortable and the sleeves are all I've ever wanted in a shirt. Thank you so much for the best shirt :).

I have made 3 other purchases from the Emporium. All sales were delivered with exceptional speed and the quality of the garments are exceptional as well.

This is my "good shirt" for Sunday wear after I've been working all week in my workday Galway.

This is my fourth Galway shirt I purchased from The Historical Emporium. True to size. Well made comfortable nice looking shirts. Made in Ireland. You won't be disappointed.

This was a birthday gift for a family member, who was blown away by it.

I hate collars on shirts, very happy to find a source for Banded collar shirts. I will be buying more.

Good fit nice quality

I was hesitant on what size to get when ordering but luckily I measured properly and the shirt fits perfectly. This shirt looks and feels great. I absolutely recommend it if you're considering buying it.

Nice shirt made in Ireland. We received our order promptly upon ordering online. All of the items are very durable for much wear for living history programming. We would like to see the clothing become more and more authentic in the patterns of each era being depicted and sold even if the prices are a bit higher for greater historical accuracy.

Coffee buddies all admiring it. I teach old timey whittling and flower carving. Shirt is a good part of my persona. And I really like it!

I bought the Galway Flannel Work Shirt as a Christmas gift for my 18 year old grandson. He's quite tall, and prefers his shirts long. His face as he opened this gift was wonderful to see! He held the shirt up, excited about the length of the body and the sleeves. Quick as a wink, he slipped into the shirt and fastened his overalls, beaming with pleasure. It is the perfect shirt!

I have previously purchased the green stripe flannel shirt and absolutely loved it. The quality of this one was exactly comparable, both smooth and very comfortable. The pattern on it is a little more detailed and eye-catching. I am Funeral Director, and so have to have some level of decorum, and what I wear, and I have found that this still looks nice under a vest or a jacket. It is a fantastic shirt!

Needed this to complete my "sourdough miner" outfit. Well made shirt with quality material.

Wore this to a Halloween party and it was so comfortable I want to wear it every day. The fabric is breathable and flexible so it would be a great shirt to wear to a fancy picnic. If you want a more dapper look, plan to starch the shirt before the event to hide the wrinkles.

will look great once i get my outfit together

This shirt was a great choice. Good price and exce

Workmanship is very good stitching-wise. although the buttons have a tendency to fall off in the washing mashine. The shirt is not pre-shrunk so I suggest choosing a relatively large fit. I dyed mine a stunning red, it turns heads!

High quality garment; very pleased. Runs a little large, but workable. Will be back for some of the other offerings.

Fit's well. Feels great! Very Happy with my purchase.

I measured my neck at 17.5” and ordered the XL. I found the actual neck measurement when it arrived to be over 18.5”. I contacted historicalemporium and they actually measured a large for me and were very helpful in the exchange process. I recommend measuring the neck and shoulder width of a shirt you own and asking them to take the same measurements on the shirt you want to order.

I love the style of this shirt; the side-button flap has a little bit of a bib front feel without looking full-on Cavalry, and the material is a rough-hewn natural feel that can be casual or dressed up a bit with a vest. Sizing was difficult for me because I have dress shirts in neck sizes from 17.5-18.5 and so I bought the XL. It was too big; because the cut in the body was larger the sleeves fell further down my shoulders. I bought the L and it fit perfectly. The sleeve length is the same for both sizes, so I ended up buying both to try them on side by side.

Runs true to size and looks great!

I just love this shirt! When I saw it I knew that I had to have it! It looks great on!

Excellent quality

Really good quality. Exactly what I wanted. It was on the large side for a size "L", so I have returned it for a size "M". So far the exchange process has been smooth. Just waiting to get the new one.

We love it, it fits very well and is the look we were striving for as my Groom!

This shirt is of high quality fabric. The fit was true to size and looks sharp.

Comfortable fit. And nicely unusual.
