I bought these trousers for every day wear and I like them very much. The color displayed on my computer was much darker than the actual color. Aside from that, a very good purhcase.

This dress was beautiful and stunning. It was perfect out of the box, not a wrinkle, and ready to wear. The color is so complimentary. I love the quality. I was really surprised and so pleased. I will be a return customer, you can bet on that! I was also shocked how nice the fullness in the skirt of the dress was made. Very nice material, No scimping on quality at all.

the glasses are excellent looking, with good lenses and frames. they also seem to be rather durable as well, however, the lenses can become a bit loose, since the frames don't wrap around the lenses, so you might have to every few months tighten the screws.

Super fun coat. Very much worth the money. Recommended for those of us who like a little adventure in our lives. This is my forth Kakadu product and it won't be my last.

I dared to be different and wore this puffed tie. It was comfortable, looked sharp and classy, and went well with my vest. Is is of good quality and material. Highly recommend this as an option when attending a more formal event.

very colorful and sewn very well. It fits well, and adds to your costume. The Emporium has two colors and I wish they had more.

Great item. I think it can fit many era's. I found the pattern to be colorful and unique. I got many compliments on it at various historical events. I found the construction and quality to be great. Comes with an extra button. Only con is the pockets are for show and not real. A strong eye catcher. It pops!!

Although I initially bought this as an accessory for a costume, it quickly proved how handy it was for close-up tasks like removing a sliver, when having both hands free was helpful. Well-made and smart-looking this was definitely worth the price

this is a beautiful vest that looks just as good as you'd expect from the image.. One word though - the color is only on the front.. the back of the vest is black (if you care). The sizing seems pretty accurate too. I'm a 36" chest and a small fits just about right

Gift to my son for wearing at various period musical outings. He loves it. Good fit, very smart looking! Versatile!

Got my vig pants - fitted beautifully round the waist but they were about 6 inches too long in the leg. As I'm in the UK it wasn't so easy to send them back so I've had them adjusted here.So I'm extremely happy with my purchase in the end, but it would be great if you could order trousers by waist AND inside leg.That slight grumble aside, I LOVE your store.

The 1873 Colt revolver is absolutely wonderful, with quality craftsmanship and attention to detail. The holster is of remarkable quality and the sizing suggestions (3 inches larger than your waist size) fit perfectly. I was the most authentic cowboy at the fund raiser!

All but one of the several items I purchased fit very well, closely in line with the sizing guide provided. Having to pay to ship a grossly missized item back and forth was extremely dissatisfying.

Pretty fast shipping, nice website, etc. Coat sizing seems to be a bit mad, however. The frock coat I ordered for my husband was several sizes too big unless he wears a very puffy coat underneath it. (Would return, but he's taken the tag off.)

I love the GE! I called you a week before my wedding because I wanted some smart threads for the occation. Jean spent about 45 minutes on the phone with me helping me put together a smashing ensemble. She took items off the shelf in the warehouse, compared them next to each other to see which look best together, and gave great advice. I looked like a million sawbucks at my wedding! A fine dandy gent! All thanks to Jean and the GE!
