I will use this for a Victorian Magic Show in a historic section of town.

I bought this as part of my 1880's costume. It looks and feels authentic. The only issue I have with it is its width at the shoulders. Just a little too wide, but perfect otherwise.

Finally got the right size for Husband ( my mistakes totally) We went a size up to have a layering option.

Love it fits perfect

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.

The pants run a little tight in the waist and thighs, so I order the next size up since they have no stretch. They are not hemmed to allow for all heights.

This coat is insane. All of the reviews are real. How is this $150? Extremely high quality. Everyone will treat you differently. Buy this coat and become a god amongst men.

Great fit top quality and timely shipment. I enjoy purchasing from your company.

Fantastic coat great fit.

This is one extremely well made coat and the brushed twill feels heavy enough for some abuse but is super soft from being brushed, I've even had a drunk seamstress rub her face on it (it was super weird). Plenty warm for fall and will be used for laying in winter, may be a bit much for summer. It does have somewhat of a greenish hue under incandescents, but brown under the sun and regular lights. True to size; I'm a size 42 on tape and in my regular suits, so I ordered the same, and it fits perfectly.

Nice chocolate brown color, deep pockets, and good construction right down to the button holes. Soft cotton fabric with enough bulk to stay warm even on chilly autumn mornings.

Is a good thing but i can't wearing them it is two numbers to big. :-( But i have take the size with your instruction. resend is not a option is to expensive from swiss to usa. that's a shame.

Great coat, great look. Lots of compliments. Heavier material and better construction than I expected. A welcome cold weather companion.

I like this coat, I wanted one for a steampunk outfit and this fits the bill nicely. I have one small criticism and that's why I didn't give it five stars. It has no hip pockets. This may be because of historical styling, but I do find it a bit of a drawback what with car keys and the like. Still, it's a great coat and I love wearing it. The sizing is good (I did take note of the issue with US sizing since I'm in the UK) and it fits really well, looks good too.

This is not the first one of these I've bought. The ones I have for myself have held up over several years of occasional use. This was for my niece's "white coat" ceremony, now that she has proven herself in the family ranks of super geniuses.

I am 5’7”, 195lbs. I ordered the med/lrg. It is big. I knew it would be long after reading the reviews and expect it to be loose but it is BIG. I feel like a child in my dad’s shirt. I’ll attempt to talk my partner into some alterations for a better fit. All that said, this is a nice lab coat. Heavy fabric, much better than a costume piece. It does have a chemical/plastic smell, I believe from packaging or storage. If adequate measurement were added I’d give this 5 stars. Overall nice product.

I order the lab coat for an event and it was great.

The material is great, the construction is sturdy, and the design is perfect! I was a little nervous about the price point but it is well worth it 10/10

I decided on a mad scientist costume for our Halloween party, but was disappointed with the quality of the costumes I found. I risked spending a little more on this lab coat and was very pleased with the material and construction. This was my first order from Historical Emporium, but unlikely to be my last.

This coat was a little big on me and required some refitting on the edges, even after ordering a small. If you are also a small guy, make sure to consider that. It looked great and was perfect for halloween and will be used for many years!

6'2" and 220 lbs here. The Medium/Large fit really nice except for some short sleeves. Cosplay has gloves so this is actually a plus. The XL/2X fit like a circus tent - definitely for a plus size fella or someone who wants to do their own tailoring. Everything else is as expected. Super thick fabric.

Made of a nice strong durable material!

I just purchased 3 for an opera. Quality fabric and design. Well made and I was desperate for a quick delivery which they did. Actors love the costumes. Highly recommended. Julie

Very well made and something not seen before which prompted my creative mind. Your vision of accessories is outstanding and leaves one to expand to suit personal taste. Material and construction quality is beyond reproach. The purchase procedure and delivery was flawless. Many thanks, Rick

I have 2 of these in black and white. They have added a great touch to my plague doctor/mad scientist costumes. Product is good quality and looks great. I’ll continue to order from HE for all of my Halloween costume needs.

I am very very happy with my purchase.

I was looking for a legitimate Mad Scientist outfit for a cosplay photoshoot and You guys did not disappoint. Great outfit for my character. I purchased the lab coat and the black gauntlet gloves. It was well received.

Costume for the home lab.

Love this coat, fits like it was hand tailored for me. The price is exceptional, and the delivery was prompt. Before ordering, any questions I had were answered to my satisfaction. This coat will add to my living history presentations for both the late 1800's and early 1900's. I will be a return customer.

This is a great coat, but I ordered in 42 and reordered in 44 and STILL the arm at least 1" too short.

This is a nice, well made, heavy coat; not a cheap costume piece. Ordered a size 50 to fit my 49 inch chest size for a perfect fit! The sleeves are always too long for me by about an inch and need hemming. I wear these coats all the time and just wish they were available in additional colors like a navy blue or burgundy and maybe in some lighter, summer weather fabrics !

This coat is high quality and I'm very happy with it. It is very well made.

I did find this jacket rather large for the size indicated... I had to have mine tailored, although I ordered the size of my chest measurement (38), it was very roomy. Perhaps best for a broad-shouldered gentleman! After some adjustments, it is a wonderful coat, Victorian, but subtle enough to wear every day with modern clothes too. Very heavy fabric, as others have indicated... suited to cool weather. Many thanks for this unique addition to my wardrobe!

Very happy to have a coat to go with the other items in the Sable Collection.

The product is very heavy, but I have no doubt that it is authentic. I don't know how those people lived. I had to send it back because it was too large, and I am just waiting for one to come in in my size.

Quality coat,well made

We attended a Murder Mystery Weekend set in 1890 and I wanted a coat for the occasion. The size was perfect and I really liked the styling. It took me less than five minutes on the website to find what I needed and order it.

Excellent coat, high quality, and perfect fit. However, it was a bit heavier than I wanted and returned it for exchange. The exchange was fast, efficient, and I received it in 3 days, same as the original order. These people understand customer service and I highly recommend the Historical Emporium. I am a frequent HE patron. Love these folks.

Ordered to preform Wedding for My Grand Daughter, fit the bill to the T

Nice coat and had that period look and feel. A good fit for the actor I was building a period costume for who was leaving for a film shoot in Austria. The only problem I found was that the p coat buttonholes are too small for buttons. Very difficult to open and close. Since, the actor will be leaving the coat open the problem did not have to be remedied.

I love the coat. I had to take it to the tailor and have the sleeves take up but otherwise it’s perfect.

Nice quality garment. It looks great on my husband.

I'm using this coat to concierge at my theater job. This coat is perfect for warmer weather. Sizing does run a little small, especially on top. Measurement chart is accurate but if you're on the line of sizes, I recommend ordering a size up. I did have to exchange and was pleased with the promptness of the process. Delivery was fast for both original order and exchange. Can't wait to wear it!

Honestly, I didn't know what to expect. I've never ordered a historic-looking piece of clothing before from anywhere, and I my primary concerns were: 1) that it would be too small, and 2) that it would be so cheaply made, that other folks at the event would have judgment. 🤣 However when this dress/coat came, I was so excited to open it. It looked very quality made... the color matched what the website showed, and I was thrilled. HOWEVER, there was still my other concern: would it fit? Was this something from China that had a sizing guideline where everything was super tiny? I had ordered up one size, just in case (and you might want to as well?)... knowing I could probably sew in the sides a bit if too big. However, it was perfect! I put it on and immediately felt era-appropriate! I did not wear anything under it except for a black tank top to cover cleavage, and some black tights (I already owned some semi-believable lace-up shoes)... and the way the buttons only go down about to the knees, let air come in an circulate as I walked. It was just a very comfortable dress in every regard. And at/after the event, I got so many compliments! So thanks for the terrific garment, H.E. – and I will definitely continue to be a customer!!

Disappointed with the fit. Had to return because my normal size in this coat was not able to come close to fit. Order at least two zizes up

Its a great coat, the sizing chart works so make sure to get accurate measurements. Perfect if you want to look like "A time traveler that doesn't care about blending in" or for a historical look.

Lots of nice detailing in the back.

What a very nice, well made coat! Upon receiving, this coat is exactly as it shows in the pictures. It hangs perfectly and all seems are tight. The material is very nice, tuxedo quality. Glad we ordered this coat. If all other items Historical Emporium offers are of this high quality, I'll definitely buy here again!!

Looks great. Great fit.

The Callahan frock coats are the best value frock coats that the Emporium offers; I have one in each colour!

The frock coat is well made, looks good and a fair price for what it is. I am happy with the coat, but wish there were a few changes. The padding in the shoulders feels a bit too stiff and bulky, something with a more natural shoulder shape would be nice. I was also a bit disappointed with the weight of the coat. The site does state the weight clearly, so this was more built up in my head, but a coat with this design, but made of a heavy material (such as wool), would be amazing. All in all, a good coat and I look forward to seeing what other coats Gentleman's Emporium releases in the future.

The coat is nice over all, well made. But I expected(wished) more rich looking fabric. Also because of thin fabric , I can see through the metal part of covered buttons. I think it may be easy to torn. I wish that more measurements are available when purchasing.

Good fabric, nice details on the back vent of the jacket. This gives it a tailored look even though it fits a spectrum of sizes. We were very pleased.

This is a great coat, fits well, and looks rather dashing. An excellent way to show your Browncoat allegiance.

I purchased this coat for my husband as a birthday gift. He loves the coat and it fits perfectly. We have purchased other items from Historical Emporium and have never been disappointed. I was pleasantly surprised when the coat arrived sooner than estimated.

The coat is great, better than I expected. The fast service was a plus. Truly 5 star!!!!!

I've worn this coat a few times and i can honestly say it really does turn heads.This coat is already one of my favorites.

Beautiful Coat, Nice Fit, perfect for Theatre!

We were very pleased with the quality and price of our frock coat. I'd highly recommend this coat and this site to anyone!

I purchased this frock coat for my husbands birthday and we could not be happier with it. It arrived in a box packed with enough paper packaging to cushion. The size chart was very accurate so I'm glad we measured before ordering. The detail pleating in the back was very crisp and all stitching throughout the garment is very neat. We recommend this coat to anyone looking for an accurate historical frock coat. It has really taken my husbands steampunk attire to the next level.

I needed a vintage outfit to attend a fundraiser at the National Civil War Museum in Harrisburg, PA. This coat was perfect for what I needed.

I am trying to set a trend. As I get older I want to look my best. I wear these daily to leave an impression on my clients who never forget me. They'll say: that's the guy who wears those fine clothes. It breaks the ice with new customers. I really enjoy. Wearing them. Thank you.

This Livingston cutaway sack coat is a very well made coat with an all round tailor-made look & fit's me well the sizing was spot on to my size that i ordered. This is an excellent addition to my Old West wardrobe & highly recommended as a purchase.

The Livingston cutaway sack coat is a VERY NICE coat for the money . It runs true to my standard suit coat sizing and fit me perfectly . The only problem i had was that the top button hole was sewn too small for the button . Easy fix for me so i just handled that problem in house.

The product came in good condition, and it was very sturdy and well made. It was just a TINY bit stiff when we took it out, so trying to get it into a more natural shape to put on our actor was a little tricky indeed. Otherwise, quick service and very professional communication. Thanks Historical Emporium!

Everything arrived on time for our event with the expedited shipping and the quality of the suit jacket and vest and tie were excellent! The pants were not the correct size , so I think on the next order we would check more closely on the style and the sizing of trousers .Overall very satisfied with this company and it's products. Would use again and would recommend to others

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

Great fit, true to sizing. nice weight material.

This jacket has 4-buttons and is a classic - no pockets to bulge to make you look fat but slimer. Nice feel and warm. I did have the shoulders reduced a little - I m loosing weight and muscle tone, but love it.

The coat is lovely. I will take it to my tailors for some minor adjustments. The Duke of Wellington look is great. I regret that I've not yet merited the Order of the Garter, which was usually the only honor he wore while on duty, but I'll do what I can.

I do love the coat. The reason I gave it 4 stars is, first, I wish the black accents across the front were a different color. They seem unnecessary in black. The second, I wish the coat was thicker. For the price I expected a heavier coat. It seems a bit thin for the price point that it is at. Other than those two points it is a great coat.

I bought my normal size of coat, a 52, and this coat fits the size in all areas but one. That being the shoulders. The shoulders hand a good 4" down my arm. I guess I needed the body of Hercules for this to have been a good fit. Unfortunately, this problem cannot even be solved by a tailor. This pattern should be re-thought. If I was not in such desperate need for this coat, I would return it. But due to the circumstances I am stuck with it.

Was certainly worth the price, plus it feels great love it

This jacket is nice to look at but the shoulders are huge. The waist fit was perfect but it would never fit anyone's shoulders. It also has some kind of white threading on both arms which is a bit cheap looking. Like the design but not thrilled with the fit or quality for the price.

The Pros: great quality coat for the price! The fabric feels and looks realistic for battle and camp use. Not too fancy but a very nice coat. Liner is realistic, too. I really liked the design and concept of this, and for the price, it can't be beat. The Cons: the fit and the buttons. It is incredibly slim-fitting, except for the shoulders which are very oversized. Basically, you'd better be in battle-shape to wear this: like a 22 year-old Marine with arms like pipes and no body fat. I tried a size above what I wear and it was too small around the waist and gargantuan in the shoulder. It wouldn't be worth it to take it to a tailor: too expensive. The buttons are difficult to work and feel insubstantial. It would be easy to replace them with something you prefer.

This coat is amazingly crafted and will go with so many outfits.

My only complaint is that I wish that the sleeves were tapered or there was a cuff strap, but otherwise, a wonderful fit, and high quality.

I ordered this for a performance I was doing for our local theater and absolutely loved it. Excellent quality! Highly recommend Historical Emporium.

Great looking coat and the quality of it is excellent,really looking forward to wearing it to my local Night club

It is always nice to find "exotic" costumes that fit the typically larger American. Not only that, but it is not a cheap looking lab coat. It wears well, and seems to be professionally built. Comfortably thin, but not THAT thin. This is not a cheaply made costume. The Mad Doctor is IN!

There's always a risk involved when ordering stuff online, and even if the item description isn't totally misleading, it still doesn't give a good idea of what you're actually ordering. Basically, you get a (brown in my case) lab coat made of cotton. However, the material is somewhat thin and drapes the body more like an hospital gown than an actual coat. The picture used to depict the product is, to my eye, somewhat misleading as the material appears to be sturdy like if it was thick cotton. I'm actually comparing the picture and my coat and they don't look the same. I was planning to use this coat for a mad scientist costume but I'll need to add an apron or some kind of accessory if I don't want to look too ridiculous (i.e. like an hospital patient with a brown gown and weird goggles). Consequently, the $75 price tag is pricey for what you get. I must say though that shipping was pretty fast and Historical Emporium customer service was impeccable. In the end, my 2 stars rating is based on this: -1 star for the misleading picture, -1 star for the hefty price (for what you actually get) and -1 star for the cheap material.

Well made, sizing was good, nice fit and finish, heavy cotton similar to demim weight so should be pretty durable, would have been nice if it was lined, but I suppose that would cost more. Only reason did not give 5 stars is the adjuster strap in the back, it seems to have been added in as more of an afterthought, kinda basic.

Great coat. Perfect for all sorts of events and dress up parties. A great fit and durable. May buy another one in black.

My grandson and I ordered this and he was thrilled with it. It is exactly what he wanted.

I purchased this coat for a Plague Doctor costume that I put together, The coat is a little on the slim side but worked out great for me, I am 6ft 195lbs. I waxed the canvas to give it a stiff and aged look with melted paraffin and beeswax. I really like this coat and can't wait to find another excuse to use it.

This garment has a great look to it. The fabric is light and breathable. The sizing was spot on. The buttons are a litle difficult to use without a mirror, due to location. The lab coat has no pockets. Perhaps that is by design, and historically accurate. Still, I would prefer it to have two side pockets (not front pockets). It opens at the waist easily enough to allow access to any pants pockets worn underneath. The sleeves are quite large. When paired with large gloves or gauntlets, they are manageable. Without gauntlets, the sleeves get in the way when trying to do just about everything (unless you have long arms). Overall, this is a great purchase.

We have a Halloween event for employees and their families every year. This year needed a spectacular Dr Frankenstein. This lab coat made it just that - spectacular! So much better than the other junk you find out there. The quality is fantastic! The look is perfect! Sizing is a bit tough to fit everyone, but works just fine for me although a little snug in the middle (probably my problem more than the item). Better suited for the mad scientist who gets to the gym regularly, instead of staying at the lab doing research. So if you keep ahead of the monsters by jogging - perfect!
