The product was very attractive and made of quality material, but, the tailoring was shaped to a barrel, and therefore was ill fitting. You did accept the return item graciously and with complete courtesy. I thank you, and will definitely try again.

I was not pleased with the quality of the hat I purchased. I thought it would be of a bit better quality but this is more costume quality.

The vest I bought was beautiful and well-made. When I ordered the wrong size, exchanging for a longer size was easy and painless. If I had one complaint it was merely that I'd have preferred if the vest was of thicker material--a minor quibble and one easily overlooked. I would recommend the Emporium very highly to anyone looking for quality service and excellent period clothing!

Most of your products are pretty much historically accurate. I would have liked a choice of chains for the pocket watch and authentic ties instead of the pre-made ones. Otherwise, the clothing is high quality and fun to wear!

The service was great fast shipping etc and I love your products. However, on the last coat I ordered the top button was not lined up with the hole so that when it is buttoned up there is a small wrinkle. It is not a huge deal but I noticed it after I had already worn it out so I could not exchange it. I realize these things happen and I will continue to buy from your store.

Your company has been great. The web site is easy to navigate, and the outfits are a real hoot. The latest orders I placed are for the Riverside Dickens Days. I also throw an old west party at Pioneertown near Yucca Valley in May. I am suggesting your site to anyone going to that. Thanks again. Ted Ban

The product was quite nice in quality, but much too small. I ordered a hat which was not offered in more than one size. Every woman I asked to try it on said it was much too small. I feel your sizing standards might require a revision. I now have a hat I cannot wear unless I devise some way to stretch it without ruining it.

The items I find are excellent. If I don't order right away and get put on backorder, I understand. The service was prompt and I appreciate being contacted by e-mail when the ordered item was put on backorder. The estimated date gave me a good idea of how long a wait I was in for, and to my surprise it shipped early! Thnx!

I operate a Theatrical 'Haunted' Tour. High Quality costumes were absolute;y neccessary to enhance the overall Tour Experience. The Historical Emporium has been integral in supplying my needs. I have shopped SEVERAL times in both The Men and Womens departments and have purchased a wide variety of clothing and accessories. I have never been disapointed in the quality of the items. At times I have made ordering errors, in size and/or color and in each and every situation, my exchange or return needs were handled flawlessly. The Historical Emporium is now my go to solution for my Cotuming needs. I am a loyal customer. I would like to give a specific mention to Noel. He has helped me on most occasions and has always been a pleasure to deal with. I appreciate the opprotunity to share my thoughts. Regards, David Nolan Haunted San Diego Ghost Tours

It took 3 shipments before I actually got what I ordered. The size was incorrect. I wrote a note and returned the hat. I received another hat the incorrect size. Finally on the 3rd shipment, I received the hat size I had ordered. It is very nice and meets my expectations. They need to be more attentive to their curstomer' s instructions and or questions. Taking 3 times to get a simple hat correct is pretty lame. I like their quality and probably will order some more things from them. They were pleasant on the phone.

I loved, loved, loved my new duds from Historical Emporium. In fact, I'm thinking of giving my manicurist (who is also my friend) a birthday present from Historical Emporium. For my own order, at first it started out looking at the DVD of Roy Orbison's Black and White Night. I loved his outfit and thought my boyfriend would like that look and decided to give him a Christmas present. Turns out my boyfriend said he didn't want to look like a cowboy. He's more of the Jersey boy type. However, when I saw the items, I decided I wanted to look like a cowboy and exchanged everything in my own size. Don't get me wrong, I'm not into men's clothing usually, but the look was so cute and different and harmless that I decided to keep the items (in my own size) for myself!..........and I LOVE them! Now I'll be picking out something cute for my manicurist. She's often told me she feels in a past lifetime that she lived in the Wild West!
