Somewhere in Time event at Mackinac Island set in 1912 . Quality and historically correct as always. Thanks!

I bought this coat to go with the Victorian outfit I put together for strolling around the historic buildings at Greenfield Village. The fit is good and it looks great!

We are purchasing costumes for ghost tours. I ordered the wrong size, returned the item, got an email the same day it was delivered back. They will send the correct size when it is back in stock. I am VERY impressed with the level of customer service! This will now be our go to shop!!

Good quality and feel.

Perfect size and fit for 46 L. Looks professional.

I had to appear in a morning coat suit for a formal academic event with European protocol (the men wore either their academic regalia or a morning coat suit). It turns out that the coat is not easy to come by in the US, but I was fortunate to run across the Historical Emporium's website. They had the right coat in my size in stock and shipped right away. It's a nicely made coat in exactly the right style, although the materials are modern, light weight and comfortable. I'd certainly buy from them again should the occasion arise.

Very nice fitting coat as well as attractive.

Wore it to the Dickens Fair 2023

Western wear

My Morning Coat arrived in record time. It was exactly what I wanted and the fit was superb,requiring only minor sleeve alterations. The coat is good quality and well made. Great value for the money. Thanks Historical Emporium!

I love the cut. It flatters my body and is overall great quality.

Received the coat and tried it on immediately and noticed how light it was, which was a very big plus for the temperatures that we find on the middle Gulf Coast of Texas. The sleeves were about 6 inches too long, but that was good since the wife can sew (I can too, but only when I have to) and she could fit it to my arm length. Very happy with the coat so far and see no issues at this time!

We were using this jacket as a costume piece for a show. It arrived in record time which was great. We also needed an extra large size which wasn't easy to find anywhere else. The sleeves needed hemming but that 's ok better than too short. The coat was well made and can be kept for future endeavors. It looked amazing and really added to the character.

Good quality and fits well to ordered size!

I purchased this for a costume design for Watson and it worked lovely! We were able to Quick Rig it on and off the actor so quick costume changes were possible. Will be buying time period stuff from here always!

Hope he likes it.

Very well made. Heavy frock coat. My correct size is 44R but it was too big in the shoulders. It's such a nice coat I choose to have it altered rather than spend it back.

The coat fit great and I was surprised at the quality. Looks fantastic!

Having been a Civil War reenactor for almost thirty years, in various time periods, I like the look of a frock coat. And wonder why they were ever shortened to the sack suit. The Emporium is my go-to shop for period clothing. I only wish I could afford more!

I purchased a very very nice Emerson Frock Coat - Gray Herringbone Tweed. I love it. It fits like a glove. Fast shipping but very high Custom fees. But still a great experience shopping at Historical Emporium Stores, Thanks.

The Emerson Frock Coat is very well put-together. It's a little heavier than I was expecting. Not too much so but, with a cardigan, would make for a quite reasonable Fall weight overcoat. The inner pocket is a bit higher than one might expect, but not at all difficult to access. Just an adjustment going from my Coburn to this (plus left/right transition). Very happy with the build quality, fit, and finish.

This coat is exactly what I was looking for it is well worth the $$$$

Just what I needed for a slightly less formal frock coat.

As advertised. Great Quality

I'm what is known as a serial kilter . Which simply means if I'm not at work I'm in a kilt. The cape I bought will be a great addition to my outfits in the winter when it gets cold here in Ohio and I'll still look stylish and look even better once I remove it. It's very pleased with the quality and it was worth the price. Be ordering from you soon.

I purchased this not for historical purposes but as a layering option. We've had a few cold days so far here in southern Wisconsin, and the Inverness Cape has performed very well. It's quite warm, and though I was worried about sizing since it's a one-size garment, it fits me well. Even generously; I'm 6'0" with 34-inch sleeves and the cape falls just above my wrists and mid-calf. I've worn it over a collared shirt and over a fleece hoodie, and I'm confident that it will fit over a heavier coat as well. The one criticism I'd offer is that the front of the cowl is liable to blowing open in the wind. A button to secure the cowl in front would be a convenient addition, though possibly not historically faithful to the garment as worn originally. I might work with a tailor to add some method of securing the cowl against the wind. But that's a minor point; I would still buy this cape again and I'm quite happy with the purchase.

I purchased this to for Dickens on the Strand this December, and to take with me to Scotland but it was more than I needed for Scotland. I look forward to wearing it this winter.

I wore it together with other Emporium Clothers for the Charles Dickens Festival in Deventer, Holland. It fits perfectly, is very good material and keeps wonderfully warm. I only can recommend it

We live in Michigan and winters can get pretty bitter. My husband had been looking for an Inverness cape for a couple of years, but they’re pricey or costume-y. I stumbled on this one while trying to find the name of the style coat and was surprised to see it was made of wool…and had good reviews. This one runs about the same price as a good quality topcoat, so it wasn’t unreasonable. When he opened it, he was delighted for three reasons: 1) It fit! he’s 6’4” and broad-chested, so normal clothes are screaming for mercy) 2) It was a heavy-weight wool. This weighs more than the Swiss-issued military dress coat he has. Fits him better, too. 3) It is warm. We are at the beginning of our winter and it was too warm for him at 32°.

Honestly this is such a nice coat! It arrived in a timely fashion and looks good on stage! It’s a little heavy but that’s because I’m weak!

My husband loves wearing this cape. When he is really cold there is room to wear it over his casual winter coat and still look good. A complete success.

Good quality. Warm and substantial but not overly "heavy weight". Fully lined. Expeditious delivery. Reasonably priced. No complaints.

I wear formal Scottish attire frequently, and the Inverness is the traditional outerwear. Yours fits wonderfully, and is suitable in any weather. I do not hesitate to recommend it as an excellent value.

Possibly the favorite item I've ordered from Historical Emporium so far, this is a strong, sturdy, and warm overcoat with great style. Definitely draws attention, but doesn't look like a cheap costume coat at all. Warm, practical, and effective... kept me comfortable and dry on a recent boat tour of Prince William Sound, Alaska.

Purchased for a friend, fit well, looks great, friend loved it!

Just what I wanted, fit just I'd hoped. I love it!

Fits great and good quality.

Great jacket! Nice design and fit

I've always loved the look of a coat like this, and I wasn't disappointed when I received mine. As I'm very short it hangs lower on me, but I think that makes it look even better!

I love this coat! It is perfect for California winters and might run a tad bit large, but can easily be adjusted. It took a bit longer to receive than I thought, but it was worth the wait.

This was purchased as a gift, and the recipient was very pleased. Size small fits a young, thin frame well. The shoulders lined up perfectly, but the waist runs rather large for a small coat. This is a very simple fix, though; the buttons on the back-gathering straps can easily be sewn in another place according to one's waist, or the straps can just be tied together for a different look. The quality is superb, especially considering the low price. Highly recommended.

Work clothing.

Fit great look good

Basic duster... roomy, long, tough material, great for mild weather

Duster looks great. Fits me perfect. I wear a size 42 regular, and the medium was the right size. It also gives enough freedom for my Cowboy Action Shooting matches. I'm 5'11" and hangs right at pant cuff level.

I'm an Actor needed in a dark, dreary, outdoor cemetery scene of ages ago, and this caped cloak enhances the look perfectly.

It is a bit concerning to buy clothing that only has one size, but I am happy with the Inverness Cape I bought. It is a large and encompassing coat and depending on how much you wear beneath even the cotton version gets warm. I am 5'10" and 170 lbs and west the cape over a suit jacket and it work well. The wool version might be more rugged for ongoing wear, but as a costume the cotton one is fine.

The cape is great. It is much better quality then I expected. I am very happy with it.

This thing is GIGANTIC! 5 Stars for quality--really well-made--but would best fit 6'3 & 215lbs (tee-hee). Seriously, this cape is comparable to a Mens 3X--maybe larger. A great piece for hard-to-fit Tall & Hefty actors who want quality outer-wear. I will pass this along to another Victorian cosplayer--it's too nice to return. Historical Emporium: Please make this selection in a more realistic option (Men's Large, perhaps?). I would gladly purchase it again if it were available in a smaller size.

Absolutely perfect been threatening to buy for a year now and glad I did it's my new weekend uniform.

It is well made, but it's a little towards costume-like rather than Saville Row, but it will be cozy and festive on Christmas morning. The velvet is soft and the color is rich. If you want the couture quality craftsmanship for a smoking robe, you can spend $300 more.

It is a quality costume product. Price was a little high though.

I plan to wear this garment as part of my internet profile picture. It suits me perfectly.

The coat was exactly as described and pictured but I ordered the wrong size (I ordered a Large and should have gotten a Medium). Even though I'm relatively geographically close to the warehouse I got an incredibly fast return turnaround delivery. Great (fantastic) customer service and excellent product.

The warmer months are upon us and that means it’s time to break out the light to mid weight coats. If you are looking for a stylish, comfortable and rugged coat that not only looks great but also keeps you warm on those breezy days and chilly nights, then The Mason Chore Coat checks every box on the list. The construction of this coat is extraordinary! This coat should be double the price or more based on its make and the materials used to construct it. The canvas is made of 100% cotton and it has a rich and unique texture that has a very durable feel and nice heftines to it, very similar to a trucker jacket. And the barely noticeable but tight stitching in the fabric is a testament to how well this coat has been constructed. I just love the modern style and the traditional charm that this coat brings with it. Fair warning, there is a very strong odor in the canvas that takes some getting used to, but for me, it just adds to the already intriguing allure of this coat. The odor becomes less pronounced over time and wearing of the coat. I am a big and tall guy that wears between 54 and 56 in the chest, 48 in the waist, sports a 19 inch neck and wears a regular size and this coat fits me perfectly. The relaxed fit allows for a free range of motion and I love the tapered look around the waist and midsection making the coat appear more form fitting rather than giving the wearer that boxy look that most chore coats present. This coat can be dressed up or down and the...

Worked great for Halloween. Fits true to size. Material is nice and thick, nice buttons, high quality all around.

This is vibrant and well made! Was worth the money.

I have bought three of these for myself and my kids. They do run a little small I feel. Weight and color are perfect

My chemistry students loved me in this lab coat! One of the school colors was red and this made a really bold statement!

I am very pleased with the quality of this coat. The cotton fabric is very substantial without being bulky or uncomfortable. It is well constructed and I know I will be able to wear it for many years. The only thing I would change is the number of button holes on the adjustable tabs on the back of the coat. There are two buttons but only one button hole. I would love to see 3 or 4 button holes to allow for more adjustments. I ordered the 3XL and it is very roomy which I like, and again I would like the ability to have more adjustments to the back. I paired this with a red top hat, black gloves and a glowing jar around my neck. I got so many compliments at the Edwardian themed party I attended. Red always makes a statement.

For only needing this as a costume it kept me warm while running around. I went with a size larger than recommended and it fits me perfectly. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to do a Dr. Horrible cosplay or even a mad scientist costume.

No problems with it and it delivered on time.

This is a real garment, not a cheap costume. It buttons up all the way and the size and sleeves fit just right. The red color is great.

This does look great, but please note it is quite warm if you plan to wear it indoors, you need to watch you do not get overheated since it does button up to the neck.

The labcoat is incredible. I know it will be able to take a lot of abuse and last. I cant wait to get another one in black, which is what I originally wanted. However, the red is an amazing color and i am glad i got it.

Great quality, great look. I can't wait to use it.

It is hard to tell the quality with just a picture but this item is indeed well made, I am a big guy so I ordered the XL/2XL and when I received it and trued it on it fit perfectly. The material is a nice weight not light like some cheaper versions very durable. It was a little more then I wanted to pay but it is worth the price, I am very happy with this item

I ordered this for myself for a dr horrible costume. Since I am a 5'8 female this came to the floor. I had to make some alterations to make it work for my needs. The quality is great, decent fabric. Not thin and flimsy at all. I'd recommend this item to anyone looking for a lab coat to use for any reason!

thank you so much.... everything is such high quality.... i recommend this site for all costume play and just plane old amazing formal ware ..... stand out out your next party .... and this particular item is very well made with high quality fabric and fits amazing ..... thank you for all your amazing stuff

I purchased this for myself for a Dr. Horrible cosplay. It fit a bit bigger than expected, but I am a female instead of male. Nothing a little sewing can't fix. I wore this at Alamo City Comic Con with a tank top and shorts underneath, since it was long enough you didn't need to see the pants and was quite comfortable.

This coat is very well made, and though not as heavy as one that is 100% wool, 25% provides an appropriate heft. The coat is perfect in every way except that I should have probably ordered a small instead of a M/L. A size large is usually what I wear, so this is what I ordered especially because "medium" was part of the description, but I should have paid more attention to the size chart. Based on the numbers presented there, a small was the recommended size. Oh well -- I'll just have to wear a vest as well as a suit coat underneath.

I am very pleased with the quality of this coat! I wish there were separate options between XL and XXL (I had to have the sleeves shortened by a tailor to make it fit better), but I still love it. Now I'm just wishing for some more cold weather so I can wear it some more! I called to place my order over the phone and the team member with whom I spoke was very helpful and informative. This was my first order with Historical Emporium, but it most certainly will not be my last.

The coat fits well and is not just a great look but keeps me warm on walks around town. The fabric is as expected and the stiching is very nice.

This almost exactly as advertised. It looks great. I got the XL/2XL and it's a bit big on me (6'3", 250 lbs.) but I put a suit coat on underneath it and that halped a bit. I will probably still have to have the sleeves taken in a bit. The workmanship on it seems very well done. You will have to iron or steam it to get the wrinkles out. A good value, in my opinion.

Historical Emporium makes the finest Victorian and Edwardian style garments I've seen. This coat is no different. Their customer service is top notch as well. I've ordered from them in the past and look forward to ordering more from them in the future when finances permit.

So far...so good. Awaiting first batch of foul weather for a full test...in the mean time, I'll just have to look spiffy.

This is a wonderful item, very high quality. Looks great. I am normally a medium, but I opted for the small and it was a good choice. A generous cut and will fit well over suits, evening wear, heavy sweaters....perfect for a stroll across the Moors! Historical Emporium is a class act!

The coat is a little long, but the hem can be picked up. I am installing five buttons and button holes on the front of the cape because the wind tends to catch the cape and blow it around.

I LOVE this coat. I purchased the coat back in the middle of September and have delayed the review until the weather was cool enough to give it a good wearing. I already own the Inverness cape in black in 100% wool and have given it a wonderful review. At the time, I mused that it would be nice if it were offered in other colors--even perhaps a nice tweed. So, when Historical Emporium unveiled their additions to their Inverness line, I was delighted. At the time of order, I felt a little trepidation. I was worried that this version was not 100% wool. I am delighted to report that my fears were baseless. The fabric has a very nice feel, similar to a soft, heavy cotton. The coat is a good weight and ideal for cool weather and roomy enough to layer underneath for cold weather. It is not as warm as the 100% wool version, but that's easily worked around. I have received several compliments on it. (I wear my Historical Emporium clothing as part of my everyday wardrobe). I am 6'1" and about 200lbs; the M/L fits me very well with room for a bulky sweater or thick sports-coat/frock-coat underneath. I love this coat and would highly recommend it. Its also a wonderful value.

Just what I wanted. ulster coat

Excellent product....and very quick delivery.....perfect for the season.... I had purchased a frock coat earlier in the year, it also was excellent. However, it wasn't quite what I wanted, and the company was very good to exchange it for another. Very polite, and efficient in getting me a new product that fit better what I wanted...
