My wife is a bit of a steampunk fan and I was looking for a christmas present she wouldn't tell me to send back. The lace parasol was perfect and she loved it. Thanks for having such unique quality items.

Do you have an actors monacle or one that is not magnified? The order got here faster than I thought it would. Easy payment. I may order a tophat from you in the future.

my husband and I have a cowboy band. We play all over the US and have for over 15 years. We wear old timey, 1880s to turn of the 19th century costuming and have since well before SASS made it popular. I ordered two pairs of pants for our bass player for Christmas. They are good quality for the price but the buckle at the back of one pair is defective and he will have to have it reapired before he can wear that pair of pants. i give you guys a 7. thanks Lockie Hamilton

I was so very pleased with the quality of the cowboy (summer straw) hat that I recently purchased. I gave it as a gift for Xmas, and he absolutely LOVED it. (In fact he wore it the other night out and it's not even summer. I was also impressed with the speed in which it arrived. I have already recommended your company to several of our friends. Thanks again!!!!!

I know this isn't your fault, but I would like to see more consistancy with the sizes. Some 2X's are smaller than others. And if you compare the size of a 2X shirt to a 2x vest, most of the time the shirts are huge and the vests are small. I realize that they come marked a certain way from the manufactorer, but it still makes it's hard to get the sizes right.

A Sodbuster vest was ordered on a Friday morning and was in my hands on Saterday afternoon during the Christmas rush. Need I say more, yes, it was also a very handsome vest. I was a damned well dressed gent for Christmas dinner, or would have been if the wife person had not lost my only dress white shirt.

I found your site by accident but I was quiet pleased with your customer service and the turn around time on receiving the merchandise. The recipent to qhom they were given was quite pleased and very surprised because it has been two years since I promised him a cane. Thank you very much.

My husband loved the Gentleman's Walking Cane I purchased as a Christmas gift for him. He was impressed with how it looks, the quality and it's weight. I appreciated it arriving in time for me to give it to him for Christmas.

I was disappointed with the merchandise. I purchased a pair of goggles for my husband for Christmas, which did arrive on time, but as soon as he opened them and went to try them on the strings literally fell apart in between the goggles and on one edge. We examined them and found the connections to be so old and brittle they broke with little effort whatsoever. Not possible to wear, costume or otherwise. We are going to try to save the lenses and have leather attachments added.

We got the monocle, and the chain broke almost immediately. But that's ok. A jeweler says that kind of chain will never do for a young man, and that my son needs a chain with every link soldered!! So we are ordering a sturdy chain from our local jeweler. My son loves the monocle anyway. Thank you, Mary Ann Smith

I couldn't have been happier! The salesman/customer service rep was so much help! I intially ordered one color vest that I thought was going to work with my husband's hat but when it got here it was not the color I thought it was going to be! The gentleman that I spoke to (in a near panic!) was kind and MOST helpful! He overnighted my new vest at no charge and I sent the other one back after Christmas! He saved the day!

The Cullottes I ordered were somewhat larger than expected. I could have used the XS, but could not wait for them as the western party was shortly after their arrival. Based on the measurements given, the small should have been fine, but it was loose in waist and hips.

The only and I do mean only bad comment I have is that I wish you offered gunfighter holster, the one that has a left and right holster on one belt. Not just the cross draw currently offered now. Other than that I think you sight is great, product arrives in great shape and as ordered. I plan on doing more business with you in the future. And by the way your prices are very fair. Thank you Greg Roth aka:Mocassin Joe
