Service was excellent, when I spoke to your representative and inquired as to what sizes would be appropiate, her advice was correct, I am getting married Sept 12th, and after following her advice, the collar size was perfect, and after tailoring the shirts fit perfect. the styling is impecable, thank you very much.

I was disappointed in the sizing. I wear and Xl-2X in clothing but ordered a 3X just to be sure, knew it ccould be tailored to fit. But, the 3X was was too tight and I had to order another one from a different company. Luckily, it fit another person in the group that needed a costume . . . she wears size 14-16, so the sizing was way off! All that said, I would not order from you again because of the mis-sizing.

Even though you didn't have one of the items I ordered available immediately, you were very helpful and did everything you could to find me a substitute. The product you did have available was great and I love the selection of products you have. The only thing I can really suggest is to try to make and keep larger sizes available. It is extremely difficult to find ANY costuming items available for larger sizes and you seem to have a decent selection, I just ask that you keep us big girls in mind as your product line changes, etc.

I had been looking for a proper duster for a few years. I had a vintage one, however it was too delicate to wear. Yours fit the bill. I am in the process of sending the L back to exchange for an M size. I have not worn it, but in trying it on I see that I am not as big a man as I thought. I have already downloaded the exchange form and will be sending the exchange to you this week. I am very happy with the design and quality of this duster.

Great speed for delivery and easy transaction...BUT the cost of Canadian delivery was way too high. We order online from others and don't pay this much anywhere else. Wouldn't order again unless a specific gift asked for from your site - and then would try to source a similar item elsewhere first.

The vest I bought is made well from good materials, but it took a long time for it to arrive after being backordered several times, and the pockets are so shallow I can't use it for the purpose I intended it: to wear my great-grandfather's gold pocket watch. The pockets are exactly 2 inches deep, and the watch is 2.25 inches across. All the other vests I own have pockets that are 4 inches deep, so I was especially disappointed. If someone was considering Historical Emporium, I'd caution them to be very careful and to communicate with your customer service people about availability and details before making a purchase. I *may* buy from you again, but I feel quite dubious about it right now.

I found both the prices and quality of products on the site to be fantastic. I do plan to place additional orders and have already made recommendations to others. In looking for similar items (at Men's Warehouse) one of the employees suggested your site to me. It was funny, since I had already placed an order with you. Keep up the great work.

the hat I ordered turned out to be the wrong thing. Was pleased that your customer assistance person gave me the name of other sources, since you don't carry top silk hats. I have put the hat in the mail. Was told it would be 5-7 days for you to receive it.
