This vest has a very interesting cut that is very fashionable, without being obviously dressy. My husband wore it at our wedding with a black frock coat, but could just as easily wear it to go out for dinner.

The cane has a good solid weight and heft. It does not feel like an accessory for show, but like it should be used to walk everywhere, every day.

They're great pants, but like all the pants on this site, it's hard to get a good fit. The 1 size up rule doesn't apply to all brands because they are made by different manufacturers. A lot say machine wash gentle cycle, but arrive marked dry clean only.

The material in these pants is pretty flimsy unlike the some of the other purchases I've made. Again, sizing is always an issue of all the pants. A lot of them say machine wash, but are tagged dry clean only.

The western holster and replica Colt .45 that I ordered are really awesome and when you consider the price, it was a great deal. High quality and great price. Service, e-mail response and delivery were very good. Can't get much better. Will definitely be back to order other western goodies. One request or suggestion: you might consider offering dummy Colt .45 bullets to complenent your holster belts.

they took my order quickly and it was easy to look at your products and was received in a timely fashion. My husband came from Mexico and he only likes this kind of collar so I hope you always have them.

Very nice products and styling, but somebody needs to investigate the product descriptions. They're mislabeled as dry clean only when your description states machine wash gentle cycle. Sizing is very difficult because they all fit very differently.

I followed the directions provided by your website for sizing men's pants and when I recieved my pants and tried them on they didn't fit, not only did they not fit as victorian Trousers they wouldn't have fit as modern pants. I called to ask for assistance and was told that if the pants measured out to the size listed then I would have to return them and pay a restocking fee it didn't matter that I followed your own directions for sizing.

I would recommend some one to the Historical Emporium, or the steampunk Emporium (where I purchased items), however, Gentleman's Emporium sounds a little awkward, so I would advertise this less prevalently.
