This is a great pocket watch. The quality is good and the price is great. Excellent for reenactors and someone who enjoys a nice pocket watch. The face is covered enough to protect it, but can still see hands for a quick guess at time.

Not much to say, it fits well, it's very warm, all the stripes are horizontal.

A really nice shirt, decent quality. Feels like a poet shirt without the frills and poof. I'd give it 5 stars if it had been pre-washed, but alas, it's dry clean only, like all HE shirts.

Though these suspenders are nice to look at they are very long in the back and if worn with period pants the 'Y' will ride up at your neck very quickly if you are anything larger than medium build. The front button loops are pretty, but the leather is weak and they are the exact same length, which causes the inside loop to take all the strain and the outside loop to blouse, often coming undone. Good enough for a costume showpiece, but not for real daily wear.

These fit nicely, and have a comfortable waist band.

This is a great coat. Nice quality wool with only minor adjustment needed to the sleeve length. Fits well through the shoulders and hangs perfectly, open or closed.

The leather button hole ends are good quality hide, and fit the pants nicely. The adjuster clasps are a little hard to close but stay that way when set.

The medium fit me well. Snug without pulling. The button holes could use a little cleaning up though.

An excellent helmet for my purposes. I wear it while riding a recumbent bicycle. It does a good job of shading my neck, ears, and nose from the sun. Being stiff, the brim doesn't flip up in the wind, and because the whole thing is made of a tight mesh, it has good ventillation and doesn't feel hot, even in the Texas sun. Although it doesn't have any type of buckle, the leather strap is easy to slide off of the brim and under your chin. Not necessary to do that though - I ride 30 mph on the downhills, and the helmet doesn't budge. I can wear it for hours, and it doesn't feel like my head is in a vise. Couldn't be better!

I wore it to a Blues dance, and the first comment was "Wow." It makes a marked impression, and it is widely admired. I recommend it to all.

Yet another quality made puff tie ! This puff tie stays in place even with a great deal of movement unlike some of the other puff ties I have purchased and has held up very well even after being dry cleaned three times. This tie even comes complete with a "diamond" tie pin! You cant get any better than this for the price.

This puff tie is one of my favorite ties that Gentlemen's Emporium offers. It looks great and stays in place even with a great deal of movement unlike some of the other puff ties I have purchased. This tie is well made and has held up well. Even after being dry cleaned twice it still looks as new as the day it arrived from the Emporium. I would recommend this puff tie to any 19th century re-enactor
