Beautiful little vial, but the stopper doesn't fit very well and I won't be using it as I'm not sure it'll survive repeated removals.Looks very classy, though.

Beautiful little sextant, classy keychain. Mine's a bit "sticky" on the slide, but not too badly.

Utterly, utterly beautiful little telescope.I've already added it to my chatelaine and had to fight off some other steampunks who want it.

Looks great, perfect for photographs. Shame it's plastic, but it's not too obvious, so you may get away with it.

Just nice, comfortable bonnet. Longer ties would be helpful - they're barely long enough to tie (unlike picture).

I ordered this is Brown, but the color I received is closer to black. The ends weren't twisted as neatly as I would have liked, so I combed them out and re-positioned them with some hair gel. The hair is a little sparse, but with a little combing and some make up you can make it work. My husband uses eyelash glue to keep it in place.

I bought this for my husband's steampunk ensemble. He isn't one to get very excited about things, but immediately put these on his glasses and wore them around. He loves them! They do add some weight to your glasses, but you get used to it. Well made, and even useful! We're very pleased!

I was looking for a nice aviator helmet for a production that is being done in the steam punk genre. This totally met my expectations. It is well constructed with nice detailing - really looks like leather.

The most effective way to tie this ascot neck tie is with the tradition square or double knot (which is akin to tying a bow tie without bows) and then crossing the ends left over right before pinning with a proper long stick pin. The knot mentioned gives the tie the appearance of one of those clipped together "puff" ties, except that with this broad ended ascot, the end result is more "puffy" and therefore more authentic and elegant. The silver version of this ascot, aside from being a great value, wears well and co-ordinates with virtually every color combination of waistcoat and surcoat. Ideally suited for morning wear, I should not feel uncomfortable wearing it with my grey or navy sack coats, or even my deep brown herring bone stiched frock. I certainly recommend this as a "first" fully tying ascot for amateur antiquarian/victorian gentlemen or ladies (that intend to wear them).

I love this item. The fit is true to size, and the quality is suberb. The buttons/snaps are also very nice. I know this is a pricey item, but it is well worth the expense.

I have purchased many articles of clothing and accessories from the Historical Emporium for a variety of steampunk and Neo-Victorian outfit needs. Everything is always received as it is described, and I can vouch for the quality. My new Rutherford Scroll Work Shirts are the best. Not only is the detailing fantastic but they will lat me years if not a lifetime of enjoyment and satisfaction. You dont get what you pay for however, you are getting more.

This hat is absolutely beautiful. I feel so elegant when I wear it. I am wearing it for A Christmas Carol play and it is perfect for that time period about 1830-1840.I couldn't believe the price. Great value!

For $15.00 you can't go wrong. It is very lightweight and simple. I would wear it for a very casual occasion. It has very little shape, although the brim is still.

I was a little hesitant to make an expensive purchase for an item I won't wear all that frequently - but wore it this past weekend to a con, and the outfit was a big hit. This hat is an outstanding topper to any outfit! I'm so glad I got it when I did - and shipping was fast and well-packaged.

When the coat I originally purchased from another company did not arrive on time, I had to come up with an alternative quickly. Historical Emporium came through with just the right thing and it arrived in an extremely timely manner. I couldn't be happier with my purchase!

The details of the jacket are great too bad a large is about the size of a small in my opinion. I was not able to even get the jacket on due to the extremely small sleeves on the Jacket.

I ordered the boots a half-size larger as was suggested, and they fit quite comfortably. The length is fine, but they are on the narrow side, so beware if you have wide feet. I like the heel placement--there's very little pressure on the ball of the foot. I don't usually wear heels, but I can wear these boots for hours at a time.

I returned an item in exchange for this one and your help in the transaction was very good. The quality of the edwardian coat did not dissapoint. It seems to be better quality than pictured. The only drawback was the availability of sizes. The sizes that would work for me were out of stock. I got the size that was two sizes larger. It was O.K. for the chest but the waist needed to be taken in. My wife was also impressed by the quality. Well done.

I love it, its beautiful and I have received several compliments on it already. The older people go into stories of their life from their memories of their fathers/grandfathers pocket watches and that leads to other stories. This pocket watch is a quality conversation piece and keeps good time.

They are a high waist pant but they do actually look the part when you are wearing them . Once again I was very impressed with the quality and should imagine I'll still have these pants when I've worn out 30 pairs of jeans. The staff were very helpful with UK sizes also and they fit when they arrived .

I recieved the Item withing 10 days to the UK. The quality ie excellent, certrianly very warm without it being to heavy or over lined. Ther is one inside pocket and 2 pockets on the front of the coat.I was more than happy with the purchase and it fits very well.

This bonnet in black will be used as a mourning hat for the main character in our church play. Good quality and reasonable price. Arrived quickly enough. But it was very disappointing that the black duster that was ordered at the same time (in August) would not be available until Nov 15 and I had to cancel due to our play beginning.

Great product again. Very nice material and construction. Sizing recommendations were spot on with the one size up suggestion. Again they fit so well they seemed to be tailored. Wish there was a jacket to match the trousers and vest. Looked very authentic with the suspenders. Not used to the high waist but felt very very comfortable.

I bought a pair of Wahmaker pants 15 years ago. They still look good. When I decided to buy another pair, I found the store was no longer there. I found your site on line and am pleased to say that the pants were exactly like my first pair. Actually, they are better. I gained weight over the years and the new pants fit a lot better. The quality is excellent and the fit is very comfortable. I look forward to buying more pants in the near future.

I am very pleased with this gold tone western pocket watch that I purchased from Historical Emporium. I wear it during cowboy action shooting as a vest pocket watch.

Like the wide variety you offer, however; would love to see you expand to carry even more traditional items...woolen pants, vests with wool backs for old cow pokes like me... Also like the Victorian wedding shirts in pima cotton (think you call them the style essential work shirt?) & bought a couple from a competitor. Have buddies who'd buy 'em! Ever thought of setting up a vendor table at the SASS convention or cowboy Market in Vegas? Overall, love your site & service re: delivery was excellent & hassle-free. Thanks.

Didn't really know what to expect from the products. Had seen a few solid reviews for specific items but was more than pleased when everything arrived. Waited too long to order everything but it came quickly and fit amazingly well when i just followed a few very simple sizing recommendations. Could not have been more pleased with my experience. It seemed a liitle pricey maybe at first but when i received everything it was clear that it was high quality materials constructed to last. Only wish there had been a matching jacket available for the sable brushed cotton trousers and vest. Keep up the great work.

I absolutely love the shirt I got from your store, however I only washed the shirt one time and all kinds of strings are coming out and off of the shirt. I am afraid I will not be able to wear it anymore without it falling apart. That really bums me out because the shirt was $50 and I feel like a shirt of that cost should last a very long time. Your service was very prompt as well.

The shirt sizing is not consistent. I have a shirt from you in XL that fits fine. I ordered several shirts this time around, the same size, and they are all too small. Also, there were about 5 more items that I would have purchased, had they been in stock.
