its a pitty de nice desigh and exterior look does not match de quality of materials. buttons might be as well glued onto it. and evidently sewed along de edges makes it look cheap and un authentic

Beautiful coat, very stylish. Perfect for the evening. Recommended for taller men as it is indeed a deep swallowtail. Great cut and fit.

Absolutely adorable, comfortable and fabulous. I love it, and received many compliments on it. I want the white one now too.

This blouse has great details that are really beautiful. The only reason why I didn't give it 5 stars was the material to make the shoulder part of the shelves was itchy and I had to wear an undershirt. Other than that I was incredibly pleased with it. It fit great and exactly what I needed.

Nice looking suspenders but I have to side with "variable". The elastic back strap is very long and I, being of average size, have the Y up on my neck when wearing them with high waisted trousers. Need to shorten the back by sewing it in folds. Hope that works and makes them wearable. Otherwise they look and feel sturdy and of good quality.

A great looking ankle boot and very comfortable and light. Size 9 was dead on (neither small nor big). Wore them 3 times sofar and really enjoy walking in them. They seem to be well made but since I do not have these boots that long I cannot elaborate on their true quality. Time will show. First impression however is: a nice boot for a fair price.

A nice and working little gadget and a looker.It could need a better chain connection (chain was detached from the compass on arrival) however.

These watches were purchased as groomsmen gifts for our son's "Steampunk" themed wedding. They are PERFECT! I received them very quickly and am very satisfied with the service and product.

We give a big halloween party every year, and your costume is not only required but talked about. It's not about judgement, but it is best that you are accurate. I have to say after the extensive research that I did this coat was very much the closest I could get without paying 500 dollars to a regency period tailcoat. I imagine that there won't be many complaints about the quality of my costume this year at the big bash.

The other reviews were right, this vest is actually more of a gold. However, if you expect that ahead of time and plan your outfit - good grief- it is not disappointing. Quite stunning in person, though I would not plan on buttoning and unbuttoning too often to preserve the quality of the surfaces. I originally had 7 vests picked out, and this one was the favorite by a landslide.

We were looking for a vest to dress up my fiance's outfit for our wedding. He's got a gorgeous lavender shirt and black pants but didn't want to wear a suit or tux. This vest fit the bill. We received the shipment promptly, but the vest size was incorrectly marked. A new vest was sent out immediately, and it fits perfectly. We love it. Thanks.

What to do? The Large size shirt accomodates a 16.5" neck where mine is 17". But the XL shoulders are 46-48" where mine are 44", so I took that into account. No problem, these shirts are generously cut (I need sleeve garters with mine). The loop in back of the collar keeps your tie from riding up - a welcome touch. Overall quality is as good as anything you'll get in a store for the same price. But you won't find a collar like this in any store!

I bought these goggles based on the advice that the paint could be removed revealing shiny brass goggles. It definitely worked! I used a dremel to remove the paint from the outside, then replaced the cheesy strap with some $0.50 elastic and a few brass rivets. The resulting goggles looked great and are by far the least expensive way to get real metal brass goggles.The only reason I rated these a 4 is that the process was fairly time consuming. If you could buy them in their brass state, they'd be a 5.

Like the fabric because it will be worn at a summer event. However, it ran one-size smaller than my husband's normal jacket size. We exchanged it without a problem. I would recommend ordering in advance of any event you need the outfit for to give yourself time to try it out for fit.

Got this coat after the one I wanted was out of stock. Good coat for the price, but does look a bit more like a stage prop than a full fledged historical coat. Still a good coat for a costume and I am happy with the purchase overall.

In fact I did recommend you to some friends of mine before even finishing my order. Great novelty items, diverse assortment while still nich?d. Face value fair prizes, that is, without knowing the specifics of how exactly an item is made, of what materials, the time and resources put into making it, the prize charged still seems at face value to be fair. This is very important to me, I would not recommend you otherwise. (Of course, this does not apply to all of your items, but I couldn't demand such a thing from any store. The store wasn't created to appease me personally after all.)

They can be used by other members of our church, so I am not out any money. Our church is celebrating its 200th anniversay starting this winter and I have recommended your site to a number of church member. It is wonderful that you have these items available for sale.

The trouser sizing is misleading. There should be an explanation of where to measure for us dummies that don't realize that todays waistline isn't the same as yesteryears. Either that, or put modern sizing on the trousers.

The shirt is exactly as described on your web site. Of course, ordering an item of clothing online is a crap shoot. No matter how complete a description and how many photos of an item the seller provides, the buyer can't know how well a garment will fit until he actually tries it on. In this case, the shirt fits better than I'd hoped; moreover, it's as well constructed as any comparably priced shirt I've purchased in a brick-and-mortar store. I am using it as part of my costume in a play about Sherlock Holmes and have recommended your web site to my cast mates.

Even with the postal charge of nearly forty dollars, and a UK Customs levy of around the same, they were still good value and, of course, unobtainable this side of the ocean. Very happy with the purchase.

In fact I did recommend you to some friends of mine before even finishing my order. Great novelty items, diverse assortment while still nich?d. Face value fair prizes, that is, without knowing the specifics of how exactly an item is made, of what materials, the time and resources put into making it, the prize charged still seems at face value to be fair. This is very important to me, I would not recommend you otherwise. (Of course, this does not apply to all of your items, but I couldn't demand such a thing from any store. The store wasn't created to appease me personally after all.)

This blouse has great details that are really beautiful. The only reason why I didn't give it 5 stars was the material to make the shoulder part of the shelves was itchy and I had to wear an undershirt. Other than that I was incredibly pleased with it. It fit great and exactly what I needed.

This is my second such vest and while I still use the first one around the house and outside, the new one is even better with slightly deeper pockets. The old one is faded but comfortable and a little wrinkled but still functional.

Suspenders
Nice looking suspenders but I have to side with "variable". The elastic back strap is very long and I, being of average size, have the Y up on my neck when wearing them with high waisted trousers. Need to shorten the back by sewing it in folds. Hope that works and makes them wearable. Otherwise they look and feel sturdy and of good quality.

Waukenfast leather boot
A great looking ankle boot and very comfortable and light. Size 9 was dead on (neither small nor big). Wore them 3 times sofar and really enjoy walking in them. They seem to be well made but since I do not have these boots that long I cannot elaborate on their true quality. Time will show. First impression however is: a nice boot for a fair price.

Period themes
We give a big halloween party every year, and your costume is not only required but talked about. It's not about judgement, but it is best that you are accurate. I have to say after the extensive research that I did this coat was very much the closest I could get without paying 500 dollars to a regency period tailcoat. I imagine that there won't be many complaints about the quality of my costume this year at the big bash.

No complaint
The other reviews were right, this vest is actually more of a gold. However, if you expect that ahead of time and plan your outfit - good grief- it is not disappointing. Quite stunning in person, though I would not plan on buttoning and unbuttoning too often to preserve the quality of the surfaces. I originally had 7 vests picked out, and this one was the favorite by a landslide.

Good selection, good advice, good prices, fast shipping. I'm already planning a second steampunk costume and plan to base it on a few pieces I already know are available here. So I'll be buying again in the future. I've also recommended the site to a few friends (particularly people who ask where I got my goggles).

Very pleased
We were looking for a vest to dress up my fiance's outfit for our wedding. He's got a gorgeous lavender shirt and black pants but didn't want to wear a suit or tux. This vest fit the bill. We received the shipment promptly, but the vest size was incorrectly marked. A new vest was sent out immediately, and it fits perfectly. We love it. Thanks.

Quality is incredible and price is perfect.Do yourself a favor and but it now. You will not get this authentic quality for the price. Make sure you buy the cross draw holster to add to the costume, look. etc.

You Need This Shirt!
What to do? The Large size shirt accomodates a 16.5" neck where mine is 17". But the XL shoulders are 46-48" where mine are 44", so I took that into account. No problem, these shirts are generously cut (I need sleeve garters with mine). The loop in back of the collar keeps your tie from riding up - a welcome touch. Overall quality is as good as anything you'll get in a store for the same price. But you won't find a collar like this in any store!

Western holster and gunbelt
I am very impressed in every aspect, the postage was faster than I expected and the craftsmanship of the belt is tops. The belt and holster along with my'45 hang on my bar now and look great, thanks guys for a great product I am a happy customer.

Also dremelled off the paint
I bought these goggles based on the advice that the paint could be removed revealing shiny brass goggles. It definitely worked! I used a dremel to remove the paint from the outside, then replaced the cheesy strap with some $0.50 elastic and a few brass rivets. The resulting goggles looked great and are by far the least expensive way to get real metal brass goggles.The only reason I rated these a 4 is that the process was fairly time consuming. If you could buy them in their brass state, they'd be a 5.

Beautiful Waistcoat
Like the fabric because it will be worn at a summer event. However, it ran one-size smaller than my husband's normal jacket size. We exchanged it without a problem. I would recommend ordering in advance of any event you need the outfit for to give yourself time to try it out for fit.

Charcoal Callahan Frock Coat Review
Got this coat after the one I wanted was out of stock. Good coat for the price, but does look a bit more like a stage prop than a full fledged historical coat. Still a good coat for a costume and I am happy with the purchase overall.
