This item is of exceptional quality and beauty, the way that it gracefully drapes the body and how the coat tails flayed about like silken drapes.

This tailcoat fits my husband perfectly. Looks great when he has everything on together. Thank you so much!

This formal tailcoat, cut in the Victorian style, is crafted from gorgeous material with beautiful lines. The effect it has far exceeds its modest price, and I would feel comfortable wearing these tails to even the most formal of events - it is obviously well-suited to white tie affairs. This offering from the Historical Emporium is especially appreciated as many luxury retailers no longer stock tailcoats at all. As others have noted the cut is, perhaps, on the generous side, which does cause some flaring of the cutout at the midriff. If one is on the cusp between sizes, I would recommend going one size lower. Considering how great the price for this coat is, however, one could easily afford the services of a tailor to have it fitted.

I was impressed with the quality of the fabric, however I had to have it tailored as it fit nicely across my chest and shoulders but was far too big around the midriff. It appears these are made with big bellied men in mind.

This is a light coat suitable for all seasons. It fits well & is made well. It is comfortable to wear. Can easily be worn on formal occasions - thanks HE

I purchased the Victorian tailcoat for my theatre troupe's production of The Secret Garden, and I am very pleased with both the tailcoat and the other clothing and accessories that I ordered for our production. The quality is first rate, and the coat fits as I expected. I will definitely order from Historical Emporium for future plays.

The tailcoat fits perfectly and the fabric is high quality. I ordered the white pique vest and matching white pique tie to wear with the tailcoat and my lady's jaw dropped when she saw them on me for the first time.

my son love it. he will wear it to his prom.

I ordered a costume for a Victorian Halloween party from Historical Emporium. The downside - it was a bit pricey - the upside: TOTALLY WORTH IT!!! The clothes were well made - certainly in line with the pricing. The fit was great. I'm on the larger side of the spectrum and used their fitting chart. Everything fit well and I felt really comfortable. The pants were very long and had to be hemmed so give yourself time for that - but I would much rather they be too long than too short. Everything came on or before the expected date, was nicely packaged and it all worked out beautifully! I would highly recommend Historical Emporium to anyone considering investing in a very nice costume! I wish there were a way to post a picture. THANK YOU H.E.!

This truly is a handsome jacket. Love the fact that is 100% wool. My husband was pleased that the arms were available in a long. It fit him very well. I always hesitate to order clothing for him online because of his longer arms but this worked. Just wished you offered a pair of wool pants to go with it....

I was truly surprised by the quality of the tailcoat. It fit wonderfully, appears well tailored, and went perfectly with the other accessories I had purchased. Only wish I had purchased the top hat to go with it! Wouldn't hesitate to buy again.

Quick delivery! I was expecting to have to do alterations, but it fits just perfectly. Now my husband is ready to go to the Holiday Tea in his own outfit, not a rental.

Product is lovely. I ordered it for my husband as a Christmas present. I have ordered other coats for my husband, all at the same size, and I DO read the sizing guides. Other coats have fit my husband well. This coat is too big and we will have to have it altered to fit. The shoulders fit, but the rest of the coat is waayy too roomy.

The formal tailcoat looks great, will wear it in a theatrical production of "Dinner For One".
