I've been looking for a dress shirt from the 1800's with the turned up collar and this is perfect.

Dinner date!

Definitely get the shirt heavily starched or make your own from rice flour. The collar should always be very stiff.

My husband is a tall thin guy and the small was a perfect fit for him. It looks great and the buttons and stitching is very high quality. Would definitely buy again from these guys.

Great shirt

Very nice looking and comfortable shirt that is well made in a good quality cotton. Size is a bit bigger than expected, but after a cold wash and a tumble dry it shrunk to a perfect fit.

This is not a cheap replica or tuxedo shirt. It's high quality fabric and craftsmanship. Very please worth the extra money

I am into Steampunk, and this is the conclusion of attire I needed in its creation. I had several other shirts that just couldn't fit the bill for various different reasons. When I put the shirt on with my other clothes and then finally the face mask I created, the shirt gave an added debonair look that made me say only one thing. "EXCELSIOR!!"

Loved the fit and the style and the %100 washed cotton. Exactly what I wanted.

This item arrived quickly and the quality was excellent...better than I imagined. Launders easily. Extremely happy with purchase.

Perfect fit and looks awesome. Fast shipping.

Very high quality material. pleased with my product and especially the prompt delivery.

Bought to wear to "Pajama Friday" in downtown Fernandina Beach, Florida, the day after Thanksgiving.

Great work on reproducing the classic nightshirt and cap, it is spot on. The material quality is excellent and it was put together perfectly.

Well made nightshirt in a luxurious feeling cotton. Size is right!

This period men's nightshirt is a perfect fit - and a flattering length/shape/silhouette! I'm 5'9" and got the Medium size. I'm looking forward to wandering about my Victorian mansion holding a stub of candle and entertaining visitations with (friendly) ghosts.

Best ever, the old school nightshirt is just what I have been looking for, thanks ever. Cordially Melvin

The nightshirt and night cap were good quality and very authentic looking.

The nightshirt and cap look great! They are going to be used for a Scrooge costume. Material is a little thin, but of very good quality. I was very pleased!

As of this review, I have had the opportunity to wear my nightshirt for over a month. It has held up wonderfully and done just fine in the wash. It is the ideal length for me (I'm 6'1") and is very comfortable. I highly recommend it!

I ordered the nightshirt and nightcap to surprise my wife when we stay overnight at an upcoming Dickens-themed event. I love the period look of these pieces. They fit comfortably and appear to be good quality. I know I'll be getting a good night's sleep wearing these - and probably a good laugh from my wife!

Just what I expected, looks great and material is nice

The shirt and cap are well made and work well as a costume for Scrooge in our production of A CHRISTMAS CAROL.

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!!!!

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.

Looks great with my flat-topped, "gunfighter style" Western hat. I look forward to wearing this shirt at a special gathering during First Friday fun on Santa Fe Drive this April in Denver, Colorado.

This is a very nice quality shirt, I have found that for the money the dress shirts are the way to go. This is my 4th dress shirt, 2 from Frontier Classics and 2 from Scully, there nice shirts. Ive been harsh in the past on a (work shirt) I returned, I expected a better quality.

I wanted an authentic western shirt for my new hobby of Cowboy Action Shooting. I ran across Historical Emporium on the web and they had so many different patterns and colors of western shirts that it was difficult to make a decision. I finally decided on the Coulter style in black and white pinstripe. This is a great shirt, authentically styled and tailored and the pinstripes are visually very pleasing. Quality is quite nice and the large cut of the shirt is very comfortable. I am very pleased with the shirt.

Once again, I am simply delighted by the superior quality of this item, its authentic styling and true to size fit. It's also quite stylish and damned comfortable, to boot. I've only one, eensy problem with the shirts available here: I love french cuffs, and they simply aren't available on many of the shirts. You might want to seriously consider asking your manufacturer to offer them. Otherwise? Fine garment!

If you love the look of the Wild, Wild West, you will absolutely love the Coulter Shirt. This shirt has the perfect collar for a hand-tied bow or string tie. It is comfortable to wear and can go well with any solid-colored vest. The fit is fantastic! Best of all, it does not need dry cleaning. Machine wash in cold water and hang to dry for best results.

I ordered a Medium Coulter Shirt - and the sizing appears to run large. So, I returned it and ordered a Small, which fits perfectly (kind'a amazing because I don't wear a small *anything*!). The quality is impeccable and the shirt looks GREAT!

first words out of my young adult daughters mouth "sharp shirt Dad!" when the kids are right they are right!

very nice shirt - sizing seems a bit larger than the other coulter large that I bought - but not a problem!

And by "sweet" I mean "a fine shirt." I love it! So glad you guys are doing business. Time I bought something else. Too busy to write--gone shopping. Stick with it, guys!

I wear these shirts with the Chadwick waistcoat over the top. The shirts fit very well, and look much nicer with a waistcoat than a more modern style shirt with a pointed collar. The material and colours are lovely.

great fit well made

Just the type of shirt and quality I was looking for

Fits great and looks great.

This shirt is not only authentic looking but comfortable as well. I wear these as normal victorian wear (Dressed like a Toff) as they say, so the shirt works for formal Tux or Business, everyday wear. The collar has the fold down triangles which I love...can't get more late 1800's than that. All Round good quality and affordable

I wanted a traditional wing tip tuxedo shirt but with a different look. This shirt fit the bill exactly and I am VERY satisfied with its quality, look and price. I wore it to a black tie gala where I received many compliments on my attire. The shirt stood out with a look of quality and style. Thank you

This shirt is just what I was looking for. Well made with great material.

Nice shirt, cufflink holes a bonus

Nice quality, fit well. Liked having the option of a synthetic/cotton blend shirt.

This shirt is the design and quality only found on the platform of Historical Emporium. Thanks again for having great apparel.

The shirt fit as expected per the measurements and sizing chart. The quality of the fabric and sewing are excellent. Sleeves were a bit longer than expected, but that gave a good, baggy/slouchy sleeve look, which I liked. The collar and shoulders were proper tightness to complete the high-collar look for my outfit.

quick service, excellent quality, and the fit was perfect

Had to period-match a suit on short notice, and Historical Emporium came through big time! Shipping was very fast, and I was very satisfied with the quality of the garment. Thank you!

Recommend this shirt, very smart

Very good quality textile. Crafted as well as any modern-made shirt. It should last a long time. Because of the full-cut, I will need to have the sleeves shortened, but that was expected.

This is a well made shirt which fits my actor perfectly. He is the lead in Bunbury.

Surprised by excellent quality!

Really happy with this item, the cotton is comfortable and well made. Had to size down, but was totally worth the trade, exchange was quick in shipping! It looks adorable!

Never though this nightgown could be so sexy, but wowser it sure was.

The nightgown was a little roomier than expected, but still fit. Beautiful embroidery and well made.

Beautifully made.

Beautifully made and it is nice and roomy......love 100% cotton.......nice and cool......hopefully it won't shrink too much when I wash it!

I purchased this item for my girlfriend and she loved it. She and I agree that it is very well made and she also found it to be very comfortable. Your shipping cost is reasonable and your shipping time is excellent. I will continue to be a customer. Well done.

I purchased this nightgown as a gift for my wife, and she's absolutely thrilled. Nothing like cotton "nostalgia" to make you feel like you're wrapped in quality and authenticity. The staff at Historical Emporium was very friendly and very helpful, as well.

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--.")
