Old time clothes are classy. People nowadays don't know how to dress. Thanks to Historical Emporium, I can achieve the look I desire. Either modern-day or historically.

The shirt was supposed to be and feel midiam. But it felt large. Didn't fit me right.

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 paid for fast delivery and it was on my door step the next day! Tried it on the actor yesterday and he was very happy to have a proper shirt to wear for the show!!!! Thank you for making life a lot easier for me!

I like Frontier Classics shirts except that the sleeves are usually too short for me. I’m over 6’ 2” with longer than average arms and legs. The fact that Historical Emporium stocks extra long, or ‘Tall’, versions of the shirts is perfect. I haven’t found them anywhere else (which is why I bought the shirt from them rather than from a supplier in the UK). I wish the long versions of Frontier Classics shirts were more widely available because this one I’ve bought is very good.

I enjoy this shirt. looks good with costumes, washes well and fits well.

I do period recreations and Steampunk cosplay. I needed a shirt for a new cosplay not to dissimilar to the office outfits worn on The Gilded Age on HBO Max. This shirt is very close to what I was looking for and the price was not bad. It matched the frock and waist coat I got for the cosplay very well. Understand in period, many white shirts were off white and not stark white. I love the texture and color difference. If you are looking for a more casual Late Victorian/Edwardian shirt, this will do the trick.

One of my favorite shirts. Fits perfectly, and looks great. Good quality, and great for those who want that true western 1800's look. It also looks great with my antique 1879 A.W. Co. Waltham with key pocket watch. Would recommend!

Online comments said the shirt fits on the large size so I went with the fit chart and bought a medium instead of the usual large and it fits perfect. Plenty of shoulder room and arm length is exact. Beautifully made. Shipping was really fast to Canada.

Very good quality, nice and breezy and handy for summer. And the collar style makes it versatile, so you're paying for two different shirts in one. It's quite baggy around the stomach but a waistcoat takes care of that. I ordered 2XL and it fits me perfectly, which is pretty good for something I bought online. With the collars starched up, I think it probably looks best with a deluxe western-style bowtie or a cravat.

For a 2xl I found the neck to be quite small, but still satisfactory.

This shirt fit well, was a basic style that covers many eras, the cost was right, the sleeves and cuffs were decent. I may get another as a spare. If you are tall, as I am, make sure you note that somewhere on the form. I did, and was rewarded with the longer fit at the waist...

This shirt has a small round collar, a pleated bib front and is made with some room in the shoulders, arms and back. It is beautiful, appropriate for formal and informal occasions and is very comfortable to wear. It is 100% cotton and is machine washable! No dry cleaning necessary! You can wear this shirt with a pair of jeans and look great! It is truly a classic! Thank you for your excellent products and fabulous quality!

Well made shirt perfect for all occasions!

I am very pleased with my shirt. It looks great and fits perfectly. My wife and I were very impressed, and a bit surprised, at how quickly it was shipped.

I just returned from Tombstones "Helldorado Days" where I wanted to get my photo taken with the Earp brothers and Doc Holliday. I had wonderful black Frontier Classics trousers, red apache scarf, grey tweed vest and white banded collar shirt. I ended up hating the shirt. It made me feel like I was choking. I bought the Sinclair Edwardian shirts in all the colors available and LOVE them. With the proper ties I can leave the collar unbuttoned, breathe and still look good.

Very good product and professional services.

The shirt is excellent and fits so well. I like the quality and it feels good to wear. Very nice shirt, keep up the quality!

The shirt has a generous cut and is tailored beautifully. This shop is superior in offerings and in customer service. Well Done

I most recently had the opportunity to attend a “Black Tie Chic” event. I did not want to purchase an entire tuxedo- what do to? I turned to the myriad of shirts at Historical Emporium to put together a “look”. To include the Tuxedo-look of the Sinclair Edwardian Club Collar Shirt and Gold Vest. Well let me tell you I looked sensational- some folks came up to me and said I looked dapper. I was worried about size but the shirt xxl fit fine- great cotton feel. I did have a bit of a problem with the vest - which I will comment later. Bottom line - I will definitely be a repeat customer. Thank you.

Ordered the Sinclair Edwardian Club Collar Shirt - Black in 2x as per sizing instructions, it was a perfect fit, looks awesome. Recently wore it with the Emerald Isle Vest and Emerald Isle Puff Tie, was told it looked "Very dapper"

Beautiful shirt with detail. Fits true to size.

Great fit. It works with my different period outfits.

Great shirt perfect fit!!

It fit me great. I have a pretty thick neck (17.5" ish) and found no discomfort.

Excellent style for the era but quality of fabric is thin and could of been better. Happy with it otherwise

The shirt was as described. It was of much higher quality than I expected. There is so much fraud on the Internet. This was a great find.

like very much this shirt very pleasant to wear and the collarpositionable alternately in the victorian or edwardian style suits me very well.

The Sinclair Edwardian shirt is perfect! Beautifully made and very comfortable and fits.

I wanted to get a comfy yet slightly stylish shirt for a Steampunk convention and this one is perfect. I live in a hot climate and tend to get overheated easily. This shirt did a good job of keeping me comfortable. It's loose but not so billowy that it looks like a pirate shirt. The collar is just right for a casual look or a slightly dressier look when paired with a vest and tie - which is what I wanted. It's held-up really well in the washing machine. No loss of shape. Great shirt!

This shirt makes me look more like a Victorian gentleman, especially when I have the collar stand up. Its a good addition to my wardrobe and I always feel like a Victorian gentleman when I put it on.

Nice sturdy shirt, that is comfortable to wear. Size does run big but I do like my shirts to be roomy.

Pros- Well made garment. Made from quality fabric. Fast Delivery Cons- Wish it came in a TALL. The Natural color is yellow not ivory or off white. Hope you can add the shirt in an ivory or off white color.

The shirt fit well and it's made of very strong sturdy material

I love this shirt. The material and cut make it good for dressy occasions, but it isn't overly formal and great for everyday wear, especially with a four-in-hand or bow tie. Like many of your products, it's a staple of my daily wardrobe. Now my eye is on either the white or blue one for summer.

The shirt was high quality, sized correctly and beautifully finished. Overall, I was very pleased with the item!

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.

I wear weird old fashioned clothing like this on a daily basis. It's just who I am, so I was very excited to finally be able to add this shirt to my collection. But anyway, this shirt is wonderfully made. It very lightweight and breathable and feels nice on the skin. I have no complaints.

This shirt fits true to the sizing guide and is extremely comfortable.

I needed a shirt like this with a nice crisp high collar to cement my outfit for a Victorian era party. Its a pullover, with a quarter button up. Don't worry about fumbling around with the button holes because they are perfect. Throw a cravat around you're neck and you'll look like you stepped straight out of the late 1800's. The cuffs are also pretty rigid. The sleeves run a little long but you can throw some sleeve garters on to really take things up a notch.

This is one of the best shirts I have purchased in over 20 years . I have been looking for this style shirt for a long time. Well made and crafted. Thank you

I love this shirt, it is all I had hoped for. The fit is right and very comfortable.

This is going to be a gift for Santa himself, AS HE LOVES THESE PUFFY SHIRTS when wearing his vest overtop of the work shirt. I believe I will be looking for a few more for next yera and the year after that.

I ordered 3 different shirts and vest/ pants. All great quality. Clothes run true to size *however* - I am barrel chested. My neck size is a 2X but I needed a 3X to fit my chest. This would not be an issue for most folks so just a note in case it does matter to you.

The shirt looks exactly like the photo. Nice fabric. I like the puffy sleeves. I have not washed it yet. I hope it does not shrink.

Plastic buttons are out of true period, but works.

We purchased this shirt and two others for a pioneer re-enactment. Very well made shirt.

Great quality

I bought both Trapper and Fundamental Work Shirts and my review/opinion for both is the same. Well made shirt. I expect it will last a very long time. Relatively thick cotton material, but comfortable and cool, not hot. I bought size Xlarge and it fit better after washing. Minor shrinking after washing but it now fits perfectly. The shirt is meant to be puffy and large, and I am very glad I bought it. Only complaint is the Trapper shirt collar is always wrinkled so I keep it unbuttoned which makes it look better and not obviously wrinkled. I could iron the collar but I am too lazy to do that. Oh and shipping was very fast. I think I got the shirts in 2-3 days.

Great quality shirt! But sizing a bit off. I got size M based on my neck circumference and my regular shirt sizes and it came soooo large. My two size bigger husband fit in it:) So, it is his now. Fabric and workmanship are exceptional though.

Perfect for my costume. Looks great and I could not find it anywhere else. Washed well. Fits as described. I'm very happy with everything I have purchased at Historical Emporium.

Very comfortable shirt and it looks great! Will definitely buy from the Emporium again!

Great craftsmanship, nice thick cotton, beautiful shirt. Fit as labeled. Will definitely order from this company again.

I bought this primarily to wear in a photoshoot in which I wanted a certain and distinctive look. When I took the shirt out of the packing, my first impression was good : it looked true to the pictures, and felt well-constructed and durable. In short, well worth the purchase price. I tried it on (the sizing seemed good), then checked it in a full-length mirror. And I liked it, but wasn't sure if it looked as distinctive as I'd hoped. Then I wore it in public, and that experiment put any concerns to rest. Half a dozen different strangers stopped me to tell me how cool it looked, or to ask where I bought it. And that's always the giveaway: the reactions of strangers. Not only am I confident it'll be great in the photoshoot, I'll probably be getting a couple more just to wear as cooler-than-usual (and comfortable) casual shirts.

This shirt feels good, looks good and gets a lot of compliments~!

Everything was outstanding except--the top cloth knot button would not go into the cloth loop. Had to have the loop extended about 1/4" for it to fit.

Travel to new country.

The shirt is nice and roomy and soft, soft enough to wear in the summer. Had to get larger than I would normally wear so I could button the top button, had it tailored, all good........

This shirt is of good quality and just what I wanted for my gambler impression. Together with black suspenders, black arm bands, a string tie, and my black derby fit the holiday family photos.

Great feel. Awesome Fit I ordered 2 more shirts This is my go to Santa shirt

I am serious. It feels so good ( wash before wear ) that you just want to wear one every day. They are cool in another way. The stains that accumulate from a few small drops of stout may stick but the effect is an increase in the character or the shirt. I liked the first one so much that I bought two more. In this shirt, you can look diesel as hell or fop about on the town. Add a waistcoat though...for decorum's sake.

I brought the shirt for an event and it needed to dye the shirt yellow, so I dyed the shirt the color I needed. The fabric took well to the dying process and looks and fits fantastic.

I really like this style, its really comfortable. But be sure to order a size larger than what you normally wear, I wear a size 17 neck and when I received my order and tried it on, it felt a little tight in the chest area, I think it had something to do with the way the shirt is sewn at the bottom of the opening, it kind of bunches up a bit. I sent it back and got a size 18-18.5 and now it fits a lot better.

I have wanted a shirt like this for several years after seeing antique ones in flea markets in France. The shirt is very well made of soft, drapey cotton. Great with leggings! I've gotten many positive comments. Very comfortable.

I really like the style of this shirt, I ordered a XL but it small too small so I exchanged it for a 2XL and it fits great! I will be buying more of these.

Excellent quality. Exactly what I expected. I will order more items from this site for sure

I liked the Laborers Shirt much better than this one. This was of a thinner material and I liked a collar much better than the mandarin look. Quality seemed ok but again in my opinion not as nice or authentic as the Laborer Shirt. If you like this style of pure white color and a thinner material than you could do worse I'd think. Just ok.

This shirt is really nice. Good quality material and well made. Well worth the price. Hubby loves it and we will be ordering from you again! Great customer service too!!!

I had ordered this same item before in 2014 but H.E. has changed suppliers apparently. The original shirts were sturdy and very durable and I still wear them often. The current product quality is lighter weight, doesn't hold its shape, is poorly cut and generally shoddy. I won't be ordering again.

I purchased this shirt to have cool protection from the sun. It fit true and is also beautiful. The arms do not get tight in any position. I bought the lightweight all cotton shirt to fit loose, not snug. The front is well made, pleated and buttoned from half way up the chest. It looks like a shirt Charles Ingalls would wear on Little House on the Prarie. Very nice. Would look good in a cowboy shoot.

Has more detail, with numerous pleats on each side of the buttons in front, than shows in picture. Light weight fabric, which is good, since this is worn in summer with a vest. Size is accurate, with good length for tucking in, and long torso men.

Noel recommended the Virgil Shirt to go with the double breasted vest to add versatility to the outfit. The shirt can be worn with the collar up or down for different looks. It fits perfectly. The quality is wonderful, the customer service was 10 out of 10. I would highly recommend any products from Historical Emporium.

What can be said about the functional simplicity of a white button up shirt, especially for period-accurate costumes? The shirt is high quality, the fit is nice as long as you take the time to take your measurements and order the appropriate size, and what was perhaps the most surprising aspect of this shirt: it's extremely comfortable. The shirt is 100% cotton and feels very, VERY, nice on the skin and is very breathable. Pairs well with sleeve garters and bowties as well. Overall, great!

This is a very well crafted shirt that certainly looks time appropriate. It also wrinkles as though it is. The tailoring is excellent and the size fits true to size.

The clothing that I ordered are for a Hickory Golf Outing. I also do reenactments / rendezvous, 1800-1850. Everything that I ordered looks good and fits good.

Excellent shirt. Would be better if sold in 1 or 2 neck sizes bigger.

Quality of shirt was very nice. Chest and arm fit was good but I to go to next size larger to get right size in neck. Easy process to exchange shirt.

I have bought Virgil Shirts in the past because they do have a left breast pocket and the overall look is very 1880's. It is big enough to wear as a night shirt as well. I had to unload previous shirts and trousers after I lost 200 pound since my last order three years back.

This shirt fits well and looks great. Excellent quality and easy to clean.

I am always wary of ordering clothes by mail or from the internet, but I needed a Victorian/Edwardian club-collared short, so I took a chance when I stumbled across The Gentleman's Emporium. To say the least, I'm glad I did.The shirt (of very high quality) fits perfectly (which isn't all that common as I lift weights four day/week). So why the "two perfect fits" title? Given this initial experience with the company, I'd say The Gentleman's Emporium is going to be an equally perfect fit for me. (Expect more orders.)

Looked on many other sites for rounded collars and had little luck. Gentlemen's Emporium had a great selection and the sizing recommendations were accurate. It's a great shirt.

The Coulter Shirt is great for both casual & dress up daily wear! Really like the rounded collar look with either top buttoned or open collar look. Have received multiple positive comments!! I'll definitely be purchasing more apparel in the near future! Thank you Historical Emporium!!

Bought this shirt for a child's pioneer themed birthday party. I was very satisfied with the quality of the shirt. The fabric and metal buttons give it an authentic feel. Shirt is to size so buy it in whatever shirt size you wear.

This shirt is of excellent quality and is exactly as advertised. Love it and will wear it during my cowboy shoots.

The tag on this pull-over shirt calls it a Shiloh. sounds so historical! Heavier-than-usual cotton weave feels comfortable with a tee-shirt or tank top under it. This shirt can take a beating in any reenacting situation. Classic 19th century design fits right in with CAS situations. Add a western tie and vest for those times when a cowboy wants to spruce up a might. I wear a lamb skin leather waistcoat with it. Not so much historical 19th century western as common in the old western TV shows from the 50's & 60's. This shirt can also be seen in those old western shows and movies. It's a tough, yet good looking design that belongs in your cowboy wardrobe.

great shirt

I love my Coulter Shirt. Its authentic looks and confort are a smashing addition to my old west cowboy git up. I look like I stepped out from 1880!

Authentic looking period shirt!!

I bought this shirt in natural and tan stripe, and the look of both is superb. I actually preferred this striped one in appearance. However, the fabric was different from the natural. I found it too course, as i have sensitive skin. So, I sent in back, no big deal. But I think a washing and a wearer who prefers a tougher fabric will love this. The natural, on the other hand... that was a keeper.

I really like the shirt. My only complaint is that it is not permanent press. It is otherwise very attractive and well made.

trés belle chemise qui correspond parfaitement à la description. trés agréable à porter dans un esprit old west. taille grand. prendre plutôt une taille en dessous. je recommande +++ ce site. trés professionnel. envoie rapide. malheureusement taxe ++ à la douane.

I bought this intending to use it as part of my intrepid explorer steampunk costume, but it's so comfortable and such a great fit I've worn it to work several times. Moral: don't limit your thinking. I suspect many Emporium products can be worn on 'non-costume' occasions.

excellent quality and perfect fit

Ordered this shirt. Wore it to a function with a vest and bow tie. I seriously can't see why I would ever wear another shirt. It is comfortable, stylish, and of a quality I seriously never expected. After I wore it I actually sat down and inspected it.....every stich, button and seam. I just couldn't believe I finally found THE shirt, but alas, it was true. I found it. FANTASTIC quality. I will be ordering many more and donating most of what I own (shirtwise). If you are even THINKING of ordering, trust me...just do it. You will thank me later. As for Bowties, the "kicked back" collar melds with them perfectly. Thank you so much for my shirt. Please think about doing an Olive stripe....(favorite color). Kevin

This shirt was just as described. I'm impressed by the quality and it really looks great. I'll be happy to wear it. The fit is larger than I thought it would be compared to what my normal shirts are but it's nothing to complain about. Just make sure you get the measurement and don't order the same as you would a modern one.

I finally found a shirt I have been looking for awhile. My wife and I are looking for an opportunity for me to wear this soon! Great addition to a men's wardrobe.

I had looked at wing tip shirts at our local mall and found a couple to choose from but the fit was not what was needed. These shirts buttoned completely down the front and did not give the look I wanted. The shirt from Historical Emporium is a mock button up (actually a pull-over) and as such is cut fuller than a modern shirt. The material used is better than the average dress shirt but not of the finest quality. The wing tip collar is not as pronounced as the shirts I found at the mall but does look good with the tie I selected for my costume. The fullness of the body is easily hidden by wearing a vest over the shirt. Overall, this is an excellent choice and I feel you will be pleased with your purchase.

Took the advice of other reviewers to opt for one size smaller than my husband normally wears and the shirt fits beautifully! Fits as if it was tailored for him. Quality clothing, not just a costume.

I recently ordered a jacket and could not find my dress shirt that was to be worn at our daughter's wedding. I ordered he shirt and requested a 'quick ship' to ensure the shirt would arrive in time for the BIG EVENT. The shirt was shipped amazingly fast and arrive in plenty of time for the wedding. A beautiful shirt, well designed and manufactured. Great job Historic Emporium!!!

I am a bigger guy, and made sure to order a size to big in order to have some comfort room, i orered a 4x wight tee, the collar is extremely to big. i am forced to have it altered.

Much better looking and more to the period for our daughters wedding. We originally was just looking at a generic tux shirt, but this one is the way to go especially when you add the suspenders...husband looks...Hubba Hubba!

Nicely made with high quality materials. Looks great. I could step out of the time machine in 1906 and blend right in!

Great shirts! Fit well, quickly delivered. I will get some more!

Looked smart and classic with the costume. Thank you.

I recently ordered a number of items from GE. Most were absolutely excellent, whereas this item was merely average in terms of quality of construction. Still, I would recommend this product to friends.

What more can be said than terrific!

I love this shirt even more than the Dress shirt I purchased previously. Fits perfectly and looks so stylish with my vest and silk tie. I love the clothes from this site. There's nothing like THIS in Australia.

Very historical accurate!!

No nonsense, perfect fitting, awesome shirt!

Well made.

This is a casual shirt with a simplistic, frontier style that I like a lot. The color was lighter than I expected - but this is good because I find I can wear it with all of the vests and dungarees of different colors that I have. The fit of this shirt is loose and comfy. The back stitching has a great, subtle, frontier look. Perhaps this shirt can be made in the color black? I think the style of this shirt plus the color black would give it a very dramatic look.

Very comfortable and well sized.

Shirt seems to be well constructed and fabric is quite lightweight, great for summer. It is too big however. Ordered a Large for my neck size, which is a 16, and I can fit my hand into the collar. I sadly threw away the tags and packaging before I could really try it on with the vest I bought previously, so unreturnable. It's a good shirt, nice metal buttons, but if you buy one, size down!

Fits perfect and very comfortable.

The design is fine, but the material is thin and it pills. Costly for the quality.

This is comfortable and looks great! It didn't shrink when machine washed and feels great to wear. I think the sizing is perfect.

Great shirt. Runs large, though.

The size large (my usual size) was too big. The sleeve s were too long. Reordered a medium and it was just right. Thanks for the prompt shipping.

The shirt is very nice , The only problem is it runs Large. My husband usually wears a Large and sometimes a XL so I ordered a Large and it was huge had to send it back for a medium. Received the second one with in a week of sending it back.

I believe smaller mother of pearl buttons would have been more authentic.

Coulter shirt in natural color is excellent quality for the price. Will definitely be using this company again. Shirt is slightly roomier than expected, but is more historically accurate in that regard. Natural color is not too dark. Sort of an off-white linen color. Better than I was expecting. If you want a more fitted shirt, try ordering a size under what you usually need. I wear a medium in most shirts, but suspect that a small would still fit, even in the collar, for a more fitted appearance. Overall great shopping experience
