Review on Men'S Steampunk Tailcoat Jacket Gothic Victorian Frock Coat Halloween Costume by Percy Haulin

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Careful with the sizing

I purchased this for a show- playing a 17th century English lord with a keen fashion sense. It worked well BUT a couple of things. There are multiple sellers with essentially the same item and a big range in price. Same item, some with free Revain prime shipping, some without and about a $30 swing in the price depending on the seller and the size.Most important- they do not run true to size at all. I initially ordered a men’s medium that was way too small- more like a kid’s size. I had to return and re-purchase. This time I went through a different seller, ordered a men’s XL because the "medium” was so small I did not want to take a chance on the large. The XL was huge on me but probably would have been small on a large man. (I’m a average sized female.) Even though I was essentially swimming in the coat, I made it work because I didn’t have time to play around with the return and re-purchase process and who knows what a "large” would have looked like. So good luck estimating what size to order because there’s really no telling what you will get.The coat itself is pretty well made although a button fell off- not a big deal to sew back on. The color is rich and vibrant and exactly what I needed for the character. The details are reallynice too. The coat is unlined, and the pockets and buttons are just for show (the coat hangs open) but perfect for a theatrical costume.

Pros
  • This worked out good. Don't have buttons but use a belt and ot stays closed fine. Heavy made.
Cons
  • Wasn’t the size that would work for me. Had Grease on it right out of the box.
