Mens Gothic Tailcoat Jacket Black Steampunk VTG Victorian Coat

I bought this for a costume a few months ago and didn't want to review it until after I've worn it for the event so now I can give a more educated review.I carry all my weight around my waist and I normally use L or XL shirts (90% of my t-shirts are Aeropostale so if you fit in a regular US L size that should give you an idea), just to be safe I thought I'd get a XXXL and take it in where needed (easier to remove cloth than add more). As it turns out it fit me just right, so if you're a bigger guy this is definitely not for you. The vest part is not going to forgive any beer belly. That said, there is a reason suits were tailored this way in the past, the coat is cut in a way that it gives a slimming effect around the waist and a bulkier appearance around the shoulders for a nicer V body shape.The coat is a little heavy and thankfully not lined. Because it has a wide collar and it has no lining I could wear this and not get too hot despite being a relatively warm day. The coat felt about the same as if I was wearing a sweatshirt. A little warm but nothing unbearable in a late summer heat.The coatails are a little long and I could feel them hit the back of my boots when I took a step, but I have a long stride. If you wear this outdoors you might get mud on your coat if you're not careful (I'm 5'11 for the record) still they look fine and people said they didn't notice I was kicking them nor did they look ridiculously long as I feared.The arms were a bit long for me, when I bring my arms down the cuff came almost to my knuckles, but I can't fault them for that, it's impossible to get a perfect size on people of all shapes and sizes, just note that if you have short arms you may need to roll them a little or trim them. I intended to shorten them but in the end I went against it since I was tipping my hat for pictures and lifting my hands often holding the syringe so I rarely had my hands down for too long.I'm an amateur tailor, I know my way around sewing machines and I can vouch that the workmanship is pretty good, there were just a couple loose threads here and there but they were just leftovers from after they finished stitching and they cut the thread a little long, i just snipped the loose threads and went on my merry way, nothing was loose or at risk of unraveling, the vest "buttons" are actually snap fasteners and they took quite a beating from me test-wearing the outfit several times as more pieces were ready and yet I never had any issues with them.The label specifically said DarcChic so I can't confirm my review applies to other lookalike products on Amazon.

I love the look and fit. The material is denim and is durable. As coat, the material (denim) does feel a little on the cheap side for this kind of styling. I would have expected something thicker and of better quality. With that said, it looks great. The fit is two sizes small in my opinion. I wear a large, so I ordered XL, but even that was a bit snug. I would order two sizes larger if I was to do it again, but the XL works so I'm not going to go through the hassle of returning it and getting the XXL. I'm 5'7" tall and weight 180 pounds. I have a slim frame through, but am told, I look solid. The only thing about the styling that I would change about this coat are the shoulders - they slump. I expected shoulders to be stiff, straight, and sharp, but when I tried on the coat, they noticeably slump. Nothing too awful, but takes down the look a notch.

Great value. Well made. Loved the way this looked, gave the perfect twist to my Halloween look as the Nosferatu, Count Orlok

After reading reviews on here about the size, I went two sizes up to be safe (jackets on me usually fit L, I purchased XXL as I have broad shoulders), the jacket fit perfectly - the vest on the front with the buttons is all one part of the jacket, and two sizes over and the buttons closed comfortably, with me being able to crouch down without discomfort or being too tight.Quality is solid, and arrived really fast. Very content with this purchase

The coat is nice but I first ordered the XL and it was tight. I sent it back and ordered XXL thinking it would be larger, imagine that! It fits the same as the XL! I wear a size 46 coat. The first one I spent the money to have it shipped quickly, almost $30 and then paid to ship it back $14. I ordered it again shipping was another $14. So I've spent the same on shipping as the cost of the coat, what was I thinking! All this because there sizing chart if off the XXL would fit a size 44 chest at best. I'm not sure what to do as I don't want to spend any more money to ship it back because I've already bought it twice!

My spouse loves these jackets.He wears a medium in these.He’s 5’6160 poundsWears 32x32 pantSmall or medium shirts. (wears his clothes fitted.)t-shirts are a size small.But wears a size medium in the “Express” brand slim 1MX shirts.The front/vest area sits right at the belt, and the tails reach below his knees.These coats are very well madeHe now owns the purple, black and the blue.They hold up well during his sideshow performances.

I got it much earlier than Amazon says I'm getting it. Got on the 18th of April.I must've made a mistake in my measurement as the medium is a little large in the sleeve area. But other then that It's great! I love how it feels to the way it looks. Although, weirdly enough when I got it it was damp. As if it was in water or something, But the package was dry. So that was a little weird. A thing to note is that the buttons are all snap ons and the vest you see is apart the coat.
