Your goggles are fantastic except for the fact that the nose bridge is not adjustable. I realize that my nose might be a little larger than average but all swimming goggles have an adjustable nose bridge. Perhaps in the future you might consider some solution in this regards.

I wish H.E. could provide more accurate fit information specific to each article of clothing. Based on my original order of wah maker pants size 32 being way too tight (im a size 32) and having to pay the return shipping, I placed a second order for some frontier classics pants, and ordered a size 34. They are way too big, but im not going to bother paying return shipping again. Any advice more in depth than order a size up from your normal pant size might have helped prevent these fit issues. I cant afford to shop with Historical Emporium anymore.

I am a member of the living History Re-enactors, and will be wearing my clothes to our next function. I am sure to be asked where I got them. My husband's hat was too small, but the return was easy, and we will see how that goes (I just mailed it back today for an exchange).

I've ordered from you before and am always happy with your quality and fast shipping. Just a note for the future, however, The tube the Parasol was shipped in arrived a bit crushed. Luckily all was okay but you should somehow find a better way of shipping such delicate items.

I absolutely LOVE the style, color, and actually - everything about the vests that I ordered; however, your buttonholes are HORRIBLE. They all unravel extremely bad!!!!! I don't see how I can ever wash them or even have them dry-cleaned because they are already so sloppy looking and constantly ravel out. Very shoddy workmanship, whoever made them should be ashamed to put made in the USA on the label!

I feel that you are filling a great niche for the costume community and would recommend you to other theater and opera companies. I also appriciate your quick customer service (Calling and emailing if something is out of stock, etc.) The one problem I see when I order from you is it seems it takes a long time for you to ship your orders. It is frustrating to pay extra for expidited shipping when producs don't seem to be sent out until several days after the order was placed. Is there anyway for you to shorten the time between recieving an order and processing it for delivery?

I completely messed up my internet order from Canada on the weekend, due to a technical glitch ... I think it was the space in my Canadian postal code that did it. My fault... ordering on line is still a bit of a challenge for me. Anyway, when I called on Monday morning to straighten things out, the customer service person was incredibly understanding, patient, polite and helpful. That was hugely appreciated. Meanwhile, I'd like to mention how much I like your products. The quality is good, and the prices within reach. Nice. I'll be telling all of the members of our new historical costume club about your website and products. The men's clothing items are especially appreciated. Hard to find such things around here.

I love your store! Although I am sending back 2 skirts for exchange. The size information is very different for each item. The waist size in the first skirt I ordered was a little small for me. The next two skirts I ordered (different style from the first) were a size bigger..alas they were huge and I have to order 2 sizes smaller. But I will see how well the exchange goes!

Promptness, service and quality were very good. My only reservation about being 10 sure to recommend to a friend is that I don't have any friends who are definitely interested prospects. I would not have a reservation about recommending HS to interested parties.

I feel absolutely blessed that I found Gentleman's Emporium. The clothing I have received from you is exquisite. The fabrics are gorgeous and the workmanship is fantastic! But, more than anything else, your staff has been incredible to work with. I must say a special THANK YOU to Jason. Jason helped me out of a bind caused by a terrible mistake on my part. His calm, cool competence helped me get over my panic. His suggestions for substitutions were spot on. His care that I got things right was of ineffable help. Everything has arrived and I am over the moon with satisfaction for your work. Thank you for being there and please extend a special thank you to Jason for his invaluable help. Emily Oliver

Everything I order came was in great condition the only problem was I tried to e-mail you about your boots but your site would not allow me to send a question it kept giving me a new code to enter if you would be so kind as to inform me what I may do to correct this problem I would like to place another order Thank you. I will tell everyone about your site should they need a trustworthy site. to buy from.
