Great match with the Brewster frock jacket .... stepping back in time at monthly Virginia City activities ....

Already have the Brush Cotton Sack Coat so I knew the matching vest was going to be perfect, Good fit for me, I like the four pockets.

My husband loves his new vest. The brushed cotton is a very heavy quality material. The vest's short waist makes it very comfortable for daily wear.

I am very happy with my purchase. The vest was top-quality, looked great and I wore it as part of a Halloween western get-up. But I think I will be wearing it all the time now!

I ordered size XL since I wear 46R coat. The vest fits very nicely and looks real good. Quality is outstanding and the service, including packaging, was excellent. I'm very happy with the purchase.

This is my wedding outfit, period accurate because I am getting married in an 1870 Stage and Pony Express stop. Very excited.

Quality was fantastic and arrived very quickly. Exactly what I was looking for.

Of very high quality and enjoyed by most those who I've shown it to, bound to be a show stealer this Halloween!

Surprised at the heavy weight cotton, less akin to costume wear, more like every day work vest. Buttons are large and tight but will probably loosen up over time.

This vest was a birthday gift as I recently returned in-person to my office job. I’ve always loved dressing up for work, but this (incredibly comfortable and durable) vest has elevated my style game to an entirely new level!!! Everything it’s advertised to be and more!

These Livingston Brushed Vest are always a winner. My actor needed two(2)in Black. Vests were in stock and fit perfect. Thanks to the adjustment strap on back of vest. Always a great feature and so very helpful.

All of the items I have received have met or been above expectation. The only issue is this particular vest is too short for my frame. But I do like the style and quality of it! Respectfully, Nathaniel Branch

I ordered a vest, and I was EXTREMELY happy with the product I received. It was shipped VERY quickly, and it was very high quality. I would absolutely order again from them!

I am a professional carriage driver and was looking for Victorian period clothing to wear at work. I have absolutely loved this vest. It is constructed of very high-quality material, stitching, etc. It fits me very well. I have a 43-inch chest, and the size Large Livingston vest fits me comfortably and attractively. The only consideration I did not account for was the fact that the brushed cotton material picks up the horse hair easily and I simply keep a lint-roller on-hand to deal with it. I would happily recommend Historical Emporium and this vest to others.

SO I'm ito the old west as virtually all customers who come here are, and I also like things to be rugged and heavy-duty enough to last. I also like all-black, and ONLY all-black. And finally, may your respective higher powers of choice bless mother nature's invention of pure cotton. So, with those things said, I can proudly say: I'm happy with this vest as part of my old west style regular everyday wear. I wear my old west stuff (now including this vest) while doing such ordinary things as grocery shopping at walmart once a month. I wear this vest and the rest of my all-black old west all-cotton outfit with my black wool felt low-derby hat, my cotagonal-cornered rectangular-lensed old west sunglasses, my square-toed black leather cavalry boots, my brushed stainless steel mechanical wind-up old west style pocket watch--and so on and so on-- whenever I go to town. And all criticism as to my personal style, be damned. The material this vest is made of has the twill knit of dickies work pants, but feels at least twice as heavy-grade there as, like I'd say equivalent in heavywheight density to modern day cotton duck canvas. It also feels just soft enough to feel nice, yet its texture still has the simultaneous crispness (if that makes sense to you) to also feel as-- if not far more-- durable as any Dickies-like work pants. Yet, thise vest (and now that I've sampled its fabric in person, the entire Livingston black brushed cotton clothing line sold here at H.E.) is...

Goes well with other old west clothing.

All items ordered were of better quality than I could have imagined. The occasion has not occurred yet. No doubt the clothes will make a statement.

I just wanted to put together a distinctive semi dressy outfit to wear out with friends and family for nice events, so this coat suits my needs perfectly. It's classic, handsome, masculine, very well made and very comfortable. I am going to alter it slightly by having a black satin detailed handkerchief pocket added to the left chest area, and I'll also consider adding a matching pair of black satin trimmed pockets just below the high waist seem. I like the functionality and look of these pockets. The size 46 is what I measured for and is what I ordered, and it fits me perfectly.

Great cut. Fits me like it was tailored. A perfect selection for a fine dinner at the Historic Strater Hotel in Durango.

Just the thing for a nice dinner at the Strter Hotel in Durango. Perfect fit and quality!

Well made and comfortable. Love it!

Love this coat. Great feel and weight. Nice tailored fit. Works great for the look I needed. Delivery was super fast. Love Historical Emporium.

Very sharp and well made. Does not hold in body heat to any extent such that it can be worn in warmer climate situations. Well pleased!

Bought the Callahan frock coat to use during Museum tours of which I am a docent. Received many compliments on my outfit, all of which comes from Historical Emporium. I portrayed a Victorian undertaker for the Halloween season and was told I looked like I fell out of a history book. Couldn't have felt prouder. Heavy weight coat which should keep you fairly warm when the cooler fall weather sets in. I'm happy with the color as it is a rich black and not charcoal. Material is a bit coarse but not a problem. Fit is true to size ordered. Happy with my purchase.

Waited a long time for this, just wow.

My son was so pleased to receive this coat for Christmas. He looks quite dapper. As a tall, slim teen, this style coat really suits him.

This coat is absolutely awesome, classy and gives a dark touch to my Gothic-Victorian look. It is very comfortable, made of a quality fabric and can be worn for any occasion a gentleman needs to show up. I highly recommend it. Only downside: The sizes sometimes require adjustments depending on your size. This was my case for the length of the sleeves.

Purchased this coat for a wedding. Followed instructions for sizing and it fits perfectly. Very nice high quality garment.

I wanted this coat to pair with other items of my costume. It's of a high quality and the sizing is pretty much dead on! I will say it would be nice if the coat was a little tailored in the waist region, but this is not a criticism worth paying ant note of. I am 6'4, so pay attention to the long sizes as they are definitely the right choice for us giants.

High quality material and stitching. Fits true to size, so you don't have to order a size larger or smaller to get a good fit.

Absolutely pleased with these trousers. I had to hem and taper mine as I am quite thin and found the length a bit too long. Other than those small issues, I love them. Great material. In regard to customer service, I have nothing but good things to say. Very fast shipping and hassle free return.

Perfect fit and most comfortable! A favorite pillar of my daily wear wardrobe. Fast shipping and excellent customer service. Unbeatable shopping experience!

Historical Emporium is my 'go-to' company. I don't even bother looking anywhere else. I know what I will get every time- authentic period details, Perfectly well made, perfect fabrics, quick delivery--- Thank you!

These trousers are made of excellent material. They're very elegant in appearances but good for any occasion from a casual work day or a formal event. Comfortable and adjustable belt in back make sure for a comfortable waist line.

Great! Very comfortable! May shift entire wardrobe to these clothes.

These things fit true to size, be sure to measure!! :) they are sooo cool. Fit great and great quality. I ordered the matching vest and this outfit has more swag than kanye west!

fit was good, but upon the full dress review, it was realized that black was needed. nice trousers. I can see that more trousers from G'Emporium are in the future.

Nice and well made. You have to go by your high waist measurement to get proper fit. Husband's chest and high waist are 44 so that is the size I order. The fit is perfect. You will have to hem them or have it done by a seamstress. No biggie.

After much searching I found the perfect vest here. Fits well and is very well made. I gave gotten several vests from other places, and that is not the case. I couldn't have asked for better than I got here. And I will definately order a couple more!

My second vest of this style (outgrew the first, it's still in good shape). Quality of everything I have bought from Historical Emporium is excellent. After ordering I learned I would need it earlier than expected and standard shipping might not work. I called customer service to see if I could upgrade to expedited shipping. Customer Service looked up my order and assured me it would arrive on time with standard shipping, in fact it arrived a day earlier than expected. They could have charged me the extra shipping fee and I would have never known the difference. It is so nice to do business with an honest company that offers great products.

Love this vest. It's been hard for me to find a vest that will fit. I'm 5'9" and wear a 2xlt shirt due to having a bit longer torso. I just wish it was available in more colors..I wear it to church and any occasion that calls for a more formal attire...

Wedding, great quality and the perfect flair of class!

excellent quality and frankly better than i expect given the price. I'll shop here again,

Made just a little big width. I will have to take it for alteration. It is a nice authentic vest for any occasion.

The lighter weight but woolen mix makes for a good semi-formal wear. Added a modern point collar shirt with a tie and collar clip for a routine bread and butter outfit. Cut and collar were perfect.

I tend to grit my teeth if I have to spend more than $50 for a vest, but I've got to admit it's very well made. Quality material and stitching. So much so, that after I received the double breasted herringbone vest, I was so impressed with it that I bought the single breasted herringbone vest as well.

Its pretty dark for being "gray". I do like the metallic buttons and the quality overall is very nice, but should be considering its 3x the $ of every other vest I looked at. Biggest complaint and very disappointed that the backing was a black linen material, fairly thick and heavy which made it very hot. All the pictures showed a light gray backing which was highly desired to match with the rest of the wedding attire. Unfortunate.

Exactly what I wanted and the craftsmanship and attention to detail is amazing! I actually ordered the wrong size (first time customer) so I sent it back for an exchange. The turn around on the exchange was lightning fast!

I love this vest! I provides a nice sense of dignity and elegance to my wardrobe and I'm pretty sure my IQ goes up when I wear it. It's comfortable, seems very well made. For example, even the back is substantial, unlike the chintzy material that so many use! Now I just need to find a quality pocket watch!

This is just what I was looking for. The vest seems sturdy, built to last. The blend feels nice-- a touch of wool (25%) but not so much that would make it too warm to wear indoors. I wear this as everyday work wardrobe, not as a costume, so I need something that will last. It's also available in tall sizes, which I need, and which are really hard to find in a lapel vest. I buy vests regularly, but am disappointed with most of them. And most cost more than this one. This vest I am extremely happy with. I may even buy another one--something I never do with clothes. It's that good.

Great character garment, I have always admired the character clothes of actors in the old westerns, from great actors to the B-class movies. I reccomend this company for the quality and impressive results in recreating them so well. Checking sizes will help you, however you will not find better than this company anywhere in my impression. Thanks again.

This is the second vest that I purchased from HE. I am impressed with the quality of this garment. I will be back for more.

I'm 5' 11" and have a typical middle-aged man's "executive" build. The XL is a perfect fit. Looks great and high quality.

sadly this was worn at my close friend's funeral. Leonard from Historical Emporium was very helpful over the phone to assist in an online order for personal pick up as I needed them in a short time before the memorial. The pants were ready for my pick up Leonard was patient and accommodating. The pants are beautifully tailored, good stitching and well made. Ive since ordered more items and will continue to purchase from them. The Hendersons will be my new go to for formal/dressier affairs. Thanks Leonard

Purchased for a Black & White Gala at the Ocean House Hotel in Watch Hill, RI. In fact just down the street from Taylor Swift's mansion. Event takes place in several weeks but I am confident the trousers will work well. Thanks

Got these trousers for a 'Once-ler' Halloween costume but I know I will wear them for many events and costumes. They're good quality and well made. Accurate fit

Great quality, fits as described. Will be ordering more.

Nice trousers. Waist size is accurate. The only negative thing I have to say is that the leg length is intentionally oversized adding more needless expense and inconvenience if have them altered. How hard/costly would it be to offer specific inseam length options like most other clothing manufacturers?

These are real nice. Love the stripes

These trousers run pretty small. Ordered my size and had to send them back and get 2 sizes larger. Great service though.

These are great quality vintage pants. I recommend getting the suspendors; it has buttons ready for vintage suspenders. Pant bottoms are unhemmed.

Ordered one size larger that my normal size and they fit great. Nice dress weight material and seem to be well made.

These are a quality pair of pants. Worked great for my need. Love them.

The trousers did have to be taken up as stated. The stripes look nice and the material is of good quality. The fit of the trousers are comfortable all around.

I’ve been waiting to get these for a long time, and I was very pleased they had my size. I just followed the sizing chart then made a simple hem and they were perfect for the occasion I wanted them for.

These run very small!! Had to send them back. Kind of shaped weird also. Other than that quality good.

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 was waiting for my size to come back in stock, and immediately ordered these. Very nice. Made of good tweed. I have bought many items from your store and will continue to in the future.

The quality, style, fit are all spot on perfect

These fit and look amazing! Will be buying more!

Ordered these for my son who was participating in the musical The Newsies, they arrived sooner than expected, were exactly what we were looking for. These were perfect for The Newsies. Thank you for the fast service, and the great product.

Having bought knickers in the past, the inexpensive models aren’t worth much and they use elastic at the legs and waist to fit everyone. These are just my size. Thanks.

The quality of the tweed knickers was awesome along with the fit. Perfect for the 1920's theme wedding!

Looking at the other reviews, I ordered 2 sizes large and they were still small. Also, the elastic cuffs are pretty tight and make extended wear a little rough.

Fit well! Wonderful fabric! Wonderful service!

it sort of has both a cargp pant feel with an elegant retro look i love it !

With an infant time has a way of slipping past, suddenly I look at the calendar and A Gatsby Summer Afternoon was just a week away. I frantically searched and found these. The reviews seems great so I ordered. They got to me fast and when I opened the box I was overjoyed with the quality. they have a great selection of products and I have already been a return customer with equal satisfaction.

Great quality... think pants... fast shipping

My wife gifted me this vest for Christmas, I have to say I'm overjoyed with the material and style. This will be a great vest for date night or any other occasion I need to dress up more than just casual. The fit, the quality, the overall construction, just perfect.

My husband loves it. Every time he wears it he receives compliments.

Very well made with attention to detail.

First time customer and now - Historical Emporium Fan!!! Well made, quality product at a great price. Fast shipping and the fit? PERFECT!

The fall and winter months are rapidly coming upon us and there no better time than to breakout the Aberdeen Tweed Vest - Olive Herringbone for the coming colder months ahead. The olive green color is as lush and lively as a bountiful grassy field on a brisk fall day. And its rough but stunning texture harkens with character and gentlemanly appeal. The olive hue gives the vest a sleek air of serious sophistication. If you are looking for a vest that will give your outfit that polished and refined appearance then this vest is definitely for you. It can be worn to formal, informal or semi formal events and its mid weight and breathable construction allows it to be worn year round. Well done Emporium!

The quality, style, fit are all spot on perfect.

I have several Norfolk jackets in pure wool (some bespoke and some off the peg). I have always wanted a Norfolk suit but they're pretty uncommon now except if you go the bespoke route. When I saw Historical Emporium's offering I snapped it up in my size hoping that 'L' would be right and it was just about perfect. I'll need my tailor to adjust the sleeve length (like on any ready to wear jacket) but it fit just right. It'll join my other Nofolks quite proudly.

love the jacket,fits well ,looks nice

Very nice jacket for the price.

After much searching (on & off for years!), I finally found something on my husband's Wish List - a Gray Wool Norfolk Jacket with all the authentic details. This one is it! Beautifully tailored with a great cut, and all the amazing details, including a generously shaped notch collar. It fits him perfectly and will be used for real clothing wear, not a costume - he loves it!

I first came to Historical Emporium only recently. I was looking for something in a classic style that I could wear formally; something that was eye-catching but not out-of-place to where I live. I took one look at the Norfolk jacket and fell madly in love with it. I mean, come on, just look at it. It's gorgeous. In the 30 days that I've owned it, people have given me only the nicest compliments for how it looks, especially as a substitute for a modern dress jacket. The only downside to the jacket, though it isn't much of one, is that it does get a little hot to wear in rooms and vehicles with the heaters running. Still, I am so satisfied with the jacket that I plan on wearing it for decades to come. It's an investment, a gorgeous one at that. Style: 10 Price: 10 Comfort: 9.0 Fit: 10

When I received my order, the coat was a little too big. Big enough to drape over my shoes. I had to get it refitted at a tailor, despite ordering the smallest size available. I do not regret buying however, as the coat is of good construction and quality, drapes nicely, and fits in very well with a historical or historically-inspired wardrobe.

Fit: This garment is intended for you to be able to wear warm clothing underneath it so, it's sized bigger. If you aren't planning on layering underneath, order a size smaller. Finish: The coat appears to have been well constructed. No errant threads. Straight seams. Thumbs up! Materials: Totally decent. Better than expected at this price-point. It doesn't feel like a "expensive" tweed but a respectable one. Delivery: Much faster than promised on the website. Was it necessary? No. Was it a very pleasant surprise? Definitely. Overall, I'm very pleased with the coat and I'm looking forward to wearing it for Yuletide!

I can not tell you how amazing this coat is.

What I was looking for. Seems like it will definitely warm enough, with plenty of room for a sweater underneath if I think I will need one where I'm going. Long enough to keep the Kansas wind off my legs.

I knew the coat ran big from other reviews, and it was super big. I absolutely love it it anyway, and will order more stuff really soon. We received the delivery super fast (great service).

Great winter top coat. Does not bind and drapes beautiful

This cape is actually better than described, with very nice tweed fabric and well-sewn shape. If the fabric was any thicker, the cape would probably be too heavy to wear. As mentioned in the description, they do run large. I ordered a "M/L" size, and it is almost too big. I am usually a 46-48 inch chest for jackets and almost 6 feet tall, and I'm glad I did not order a "L/XL." A really well built cape, that I will put to work in cold, wet weather.

If you want a coat that attracts attention, this is it. There is much material (and thus much room) in the coat underneath. so it works with just a vest, or a full frock coat. The material is a medium weight - if it was heavier the coat would weigh too much to carry around. I like the material - not a super quality but close enough to a fine wool to pass, and it seems sturdy enough for good service. Be careful on a windy day - the cape can blow around.

Amazing quality at an outstanding price!

I love the coat, it goes well with one of the characters I bring to life, even just for the fun of it.

This is a top quality coat and quite a value. I am 6' 1", around 230 lbs and the Medium/Large is just right for me (just like the sizing chart indicated). This is clearly a genuine coat for outdoor wear. Fine craftsmanship and quality material. A little heavier than I anticipated, but perfect weight for fall and winter wear. I would recommend to anyone.

My great fear was that this would be made from a cheaper, "costume-weight" fabric. When the small box arrived, my heart sank. I opened it up and could not believe how much coat you could get into such a small box! This is a real, outdoor-worthy winter overcoat for almost every locale. (I wouldn't warrant it for Chicago in below-zero January, but that's a whole different standard of human tolerance and garment expectations.) This is a very handsome coat with a most subtle gray herringbone pattern to the fabric. They do run Full and LONG - which I like, but others may want to adjust their order as some here have indicated in their comments. Full-figured fellows will want to stick with the larger sizes. Thanks for a great internet shopping experience.

Just perfect for putting over a town coat for cold New England winters.

This a really nice coat, it is not some cheap thrown together from overseas. It is Huge but it is designed that way to go over jackets etc. am border line L and XL. I first tried a XL and it was swimming on me. The large was a better fit if wearing alone. Historical Emporium is a very good seller, they go out of their way to make things right.
