This is a fine piece that will go well with my other purchases and I found can be worn several different ways with a few different knots and different shirts. I have a few different tie stays but I may have to get the little pearl as well to round out my collection.

I particularly was looking for something to wear for the holidays and finally found this to round off my wardrobe- I can't wait for the Winter Festivities to begin.

Quite comfortable and even better once I tried a few different ways to wear it.( I checked an old foto of my grand father) I also thought to add my goggles for a completely different look as well and voila- it made a whole new look( in case I feel the need to steampunk-out! )

Upon opening my package I was thinking that it was not what I had thought, but after unwrapping it and trying it on it fit perfectly and I can't wait to wear it! I also look forward to buying some more items to go with it as soon as I can.

I am quite pleased with the goggles. They fit really well. Sadly I am not sure when I will get around to finding a way to expose the brass but I think that they will be a great addition for me.

I am very pleased with the online shopping at Historical Emporium because of their concern for customer satisfaction. They are most helpful and very professional. I have neverhad a problem with items not being in stock and they stand behind their products. I would strongly recommend Historical Emporium to others.

I have given many of these pith helmets to friendsand relatives. They almost out- kipple Rudyard Kipling,and should be donned only when the wearer has a flyswatter in one hand and a limed gin and tonic in theother.

Items looked good and are functional. Have tried on clothes and I seem satisfied with the feel and fit. The true test will be how I am received by the public. I know it is period costume but will I transform us back in time in the eyes of the beholder? If you would like photos of our family outing please let me know and I'll see if I can arrange it.

Good quality and value overall. Shipping to Canada is rather high, and exact products when available can be imported from the US for less. As an example I looked at a colonial pith helmet from your site and the shipping was over $24.00 I got the exact helmet off of eBay for the same price withthe shipping at only $6.95 from the USA.

We are 1860s Vintage dancers and the men's clothing works well for my husband's clothing. I would like to see more Civil War era ladies garments but the rest of your ladie's line works well for my steampunk needs. Overall, Highly recommended!

I ordered a beautiful vest for my finance to wear on our wedding day. The size ran larger than I expected but was able to exchange it for the right size and they were lick-a-dee quick about it. Gave us plenty of time before the wedding and one huge relief for me! The staff was awesome when I called. These guys rate a 10 with me!

Really did not like that I had to pay shipping both ways. I ordered a lot because I did not know how each would fit or look on me. I am glad I did because many things did not work. I sent out your site to my nurse friends since we were going to a rally in Sacromento dressing as suffagettes. I saw many that used your site. You should thank me!

I like the products very much. A few things I did not like was the claps where not strong enough and one of the eye pieces was missing a small nut that put enough pressure on the lens holders to keep them from tilting. Other then that I was truely happy with it.

The picture of the item I bought was a bit misleading, the galsses were too small for my head but Luckily my younger brother could wear them, so its not as if i wasted money, I was just a little bit disappointed that I could not wear them myself, because they were quite small.
