The 'duster' is fantastic, however after receiving it I realized I should have ordered a medium as the large is VERY large. I wonder what it would cost to return and exchange it for a medium?

I love the companies offerings though I find that there to be a decided lack of styles for big men, and most of the larger styles they do carry tend to be on the small side, tending to run smaller than the advertised sizing would suggest.

The shipping was faster than a quantum zeppelin. The clothes quality is stunning and the description for the size was exact and clear, so it leaves little to no place for return, which is great. Also, I was very satisfy with the customer service.

My waistcoat was fine it was just I had to pay an additional ?19.00 before I could collect it at a depot that is 60 miles away from my home. They would have delivered but they wanted another ?12.00. It made it a very expensive item and really not worth the money or hasle.

The quality of the products that I purchase just weren't to expectation. The photos that the company uses to sell product is highly misleading. As a result I returned all of my products purchased for refund.

The Quality of the produkts is just slighty better than a ordenary pary-costume for birthday-partys. For a historical dress the quality is too bad. For the price one expect more quality. The clothing varies in its scale, one L thing fits, another is to big or small, thats horrible!

Could you offer cooler - long sleave shirts. We shoot in Florida and it is so hot here. We like the long sleave shirts (required by SASS) but cool material - in big sizes also - would be greatly appreciated.

Great quality, quick delivery, wide range of choices, ezxcellent period fabrics, fine workmanship. The only drawback is that your prices are steep, otherwise I'd have ordered multiples of items - in fact, I am waiting right now to see if I can find some similar vests to the ones you offer elsewhere for a better price.
