Every Scully shirt I have received has lost or loosened buttons the very first time I washed them, as directed on gentle cycle. This is unacceptable, considering the price payed for these shirts.

I would still recommend your site and order from you again, but the order didn't quite work out for me. I ordered two monocles, but was surprised that even though I'm generally a big guy, the monocles were too large to actually fit in my eye. So for costume purposes I just used the chain and made my own monocle from an old pair of glasses, but the chain was kind of flimsy so it broke on me, twice. Oh well!

It costed me 34 dollars to pay clearance for customs. It took for ages to finally get my order, I needed it for a party . . .. and I asked u to send it as a family gift if I remember correctly to avoid this customs problem.

The vest was very beautiful but the lining stained a white shirt. And not in a small way. The shirt did come clean but I have not worn the vest again. The shirt was covered in every area the touched the vest lining. I would have to think twice about buying another product from you.

Only problem I had - the pearl tie tack that arrived had the pearl disconnected from the pin itself and floating loose in the little bag. Super Glue fixed the problem.

I was not at all pleased with the depiction of items on the web site compared to what I actually received. The colors and description didn't match the actual item that I ordered at all, and so I had to pay for your error in non-refunded shipping charges.

Nice easy website, however, I would have appreciated a bit more info on sizing. For instance it seems to me that your sizing runs small, this is most helpful in trying to fit an online purchase. Additionally I was concerned that the buttons on a vest I purchased came undone right out of the box; some quality issues that need to be addressed.

I have recently fallen in love with victorian clothing and customs, due largely in part to victorian literature being public domain and therefore free. So I was thrilled to find that I could purchase such quality clothing from this site. Thank you for helping me to look quite dapper in a time when everyone else is in their pajamas all day.

The clothing was of very good quality; we were particularly impressed with the men's frock coat and rifle coat. The canvas men's pants, while stylish and well-made, could not withstand the rigors of the 8 performances (and 4 dress rehearsals)--the knees gave way. Other wise, it would be a perfect 10. When I found items on the web site listed as sold out, I called, and was able to procure what I wanted. Service was prompt, and I would order again in a minute. (or the next play requiring such garments)

I can honestly say that my experience dealing the Historical Emporium was entirely positive, especially since I had not dealt with an overseas company through Ebay before. Thank you for making the whole transaction easy and trouble free.

There needs to be a measurement on the detachable collars at to how long they are so that one does not get the wrong size.
