You cannot go wrong with this 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.

Great Shirt
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.

Work shirt
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.

Absolutely love it!
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.

really nice shirt
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.

OK shirt
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.

Sub-standard Quality
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.

Beautiful shirt
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.

Nice shirt
I bought two items, a blouse and shirt. One fit, one did not. Fitting mail order items is always a little harder, especially when the items are not of a common design. I was somewhat surprised by the type of fabric the shirts were made from. It was more a of a fine muslin than a broad cloth. A better description of the weave, thread, weight, and behavior of the cloth would have been helpful. The look and quality of the items is great!

Amazing customer service. I ordered a western gun belt for my husband and ordered the wrong size. Historical Emporium accepted my exchange and my guy had a new belt that fits in less than a week.

I had to have the shirt top button loop modified. The button (a cloth knot) would not fit into the loop

The quality of the product was excellent. The service was excellent. My only quibble was that the tall men's large vest I purchased was a little snug. It is supposed to fit size 42 to 44, but I think a 44 should be bigger. I am 6'2' 200 lbs. I have to lose some weight.

Over the past year I have been developing a anthro fursuit idea and the Howie Lab coat was my prime choice from the start. Once I had the funds to place the order, the coat was exactly what I wanted and is of such high quality that it will see many years of service and lots of smiles.
