I have ordered several vests from the Emporium and the quality for the money is most excellent. The print on this vest is beautiful, and the piece is overall very well sewn and I expect will last for years. Also the deliver time was perfect.

Very pleased with my purchase.Thank you David

Enough said. Do I really need to elaborate? Do I need to tell you about the nice accent of leather? Or even the shiny buckles? Shiny buckles should haves sold you on these. I stopped wearing my normal suspenders, and have only been wearing these. There is less stress on the shoulders from the elastic. and you just simply adjust the buckle to where you need it, and your pants stay at the right level. It truly is that simple.

I saw this and thought, Wow, that is a nice vest. I can find a good use for it. Then I got it. This is an amazing vest. The only drawback, if you can call it that, is that there are no pockets. I looked it over, admired it, tried it on and then realized the only problem with this vest. I do not have anything in my closet that will stand up to it. If you plan on going out in silk and tails then this is a fine vest. I on the other hand dress for lesser affairs, and prefer more humble attire. Once I do get around to buying my tails, I at least know I have a vest to match.

The feel of these pants are so soft, and they are so light I sometimes forget they are on. I don't know if it is a mistake, or I am a little color blind, but the description said grey but they look brown to me. They are very nice, and easily wearable on a daily basis. If you are hovering on the idea of buying these pants, just do it. You will not regret it.

These are a pair of sturdy pants that feel like they are going to last. I have started wearing them to work, and so far they have been holding up better than my normal work pants. They fit a little loose, unlike some pants that I have found fit rather snug. Extremely comfortable and low maintenance.

Noice rusty

Comfortable to wear, good quality, and great looking. For the price, you'd be mad to go past this vest.

Fantastic boots as a whole. The squeaking was unacceptable. I had to apply talcum powder to the tongue to stop it, but once it was stopped, great product.

The shirt itself is really great, lovely buttons and material. The sleeves were a bit puffier than I personally liked, especially around the shoulder, so I did have to have it adjusted.

The best-dressed young lady in my local Art Scene spotted my new vest immediately and complimented my Fall Colors! This waistcoat is washable, durable, no-nonsense~ yet perfect steampunk-design... it seems droopy around the ribs when you take it out of the box, but when you put your pocketwatch,tapemeasure and businesscards in the pockets it comes together perfectly!

Wore for a steampunk pool party. It was perfect. Just add your underwater breather and swimming goggles.

Lovely item.Quick delivery.

Just as described lovely item ,quick delivery.

Excellent quality, they have the feel, look and fit of fine taylored mens wear, not costumey at all. They completed the authentic look we were going for for our wedding.

I have been looking for this shirt for years! I thought I would have to have it made. Then I found your website and this shirt. AMAZING! It's very well made, NOT costume looking... I can't wait to wear it for the first time! Would DEFINITELY recommend!

These are worth every penny. Beautiful and my girlfriend won't take them off... Comfortable, too!

I was disappointed. The item was priced too high considering it was foriegn made. Won't do that again.

I am sorry but one size fits most doesn't work for me which i didn't know at the time i ordered. The pantaloons did not fit. I have a 36 in. waist. Of course, who goes to the trouble of returning things once they are opened.I will be more careful in the future.

They look great, but have a little trouble fitting some glasses

They fit great and go right along my type character

My order arrived earlier than I anticipated, which was very very nice. The gloves are good quality and very pretty.

She was thrilled

I placed an order with Historical Emporium and was very happy to receive the order quickly. The blouse looks exceptional. I have no complaints at all.

Its a bit longer than I expected, but the size was correct! I was amazed at how fast it dried after coming out of the pool!

Its a beautiful watch, and i love the look of it. However the covering of the watch face doesn't seem to be attached and falls out everytime it is opened.

This hat is better than what I had expected. It is made of very high quality material and the fitting is perfect. It is very hard to find a nice top hat on the Internet, but this hat was the exception. I am part of a very gifted choral program that spreads Christmas cheer by singing carols. The program has been going for about 50 years now and need to dress up like people from the victorian Era( and no I am not an old person, youth is on my side).

I'll admit, I was a wee bit worried when reading some of the reviews of this telescope. Fortunately, I did not run into any of the problems others have described. The only problem was getting my own eyes to focus, when they did the view was perfect and clear! I was surprised by how much 12x was and had to try to find things further away to focus on (at first I kept seeing strange blobs and was concerned, haha). As for the case, the strap is on the wimpy side, but in my past experience with leather, even when it's a small amount it usually holds up well for quite awhile when cared for, so I'm not too concerned.

Arrived quickly and fits great! Wore is as part of a costume for an independent film. Already going to use it as a continued costume piece when filming starts up again in the new year.

It is difficult to find mechanical watches in this age. Seeing this one raised my hopes that I found one at a great price. Actually, I should be pleased that it keeps relatively good time (about a minute fast for 24 hours) but the White Metal of the casing and plastic crystal face makes it more of a show piece than a working watch I could use every day about the shop. Still, as a show watch, it is very beautiful. And it does keep time.

Been buying vests from normal outlets. Always wondered why they seem poorly made. This is the best! Better by far than I ever expected! Bought another as soon as I wore this one for several days. Very durable and well made. Will be buying more as they stock my size!

Excellent Product:Authentic Aviator's Cap has Style, Manufacturing quality, and 100% quality leather... A hard-to-find quality... Rating a 10+

Very period and solidly made. Low power magnification though.

Very well made shirt! Much better than clothes I had purchased for 3 times the price. Bought another as soon as I wore this one. Thanks!

I got these pants because of the unique fabric and colors. Hard to find something similar. It's a little big but that's easy enough to fix. Ordering online was excellent as usual.

This is a real cool tailcoat. Unlike most gothic or steampunk coats this one can actually get by as formal wear. Fit was dead on (perhaps a little tight when I raise my arms above my head). The order process was fast and it was nice to speak to a real person with real answers. Well done.

The vest is very well made, exept plastic buttons. Even with this little imperfection, the vest is good, sturdy and warm. Perfect with its matching trousers.

The shirt is wonderful. It fits perfectly and it's very soft and comfortable.

These are so comfortable, I could wear them all the time. I've been looking for knickers for a while and while they are available at some golf stores, they can be very expensive. I highly recommend these.

I've been looking for a replacement pair of spats for a long time and finally found a real pair that match my old set. These are great quality and I'm glad I purchased them, In fact I'm gonna order another pair as a backup.

An awe inspiring piece to behold. The material is thick and heavy, I like a durable coat so this was absolutely perfect. The lapels are dark and glisten slightly, adding a very robust accent to the wardrobe. I wouldn't be surprised to see it donned by the devil himself!

Good quality materials, average-depth pockets and a nice, standard cut make this vest a winner. Being on the tall side, I purchased the Long version, and am happy with it.

The Historical Emporium helped me hit my father's birthday gift totally out of the park with the purchase of this vest. The tailoring & fit were perfect. He slipped the vest on 1st thing in the morning and it was one the last things to come off that night! I'll definitely be making future purchases from this company.

Wonderfully sturdy vest. I bought the XL in order to fit some of my womanly gifts, and was able to take it in at the waist with very little issue. Worked perfectly.

The fabric of the skirt really is lovely. The length was perfect, the only down side is the very strong elastic at the waist, will take some stretching to loosen it up.

Very good feel, nice heft and finish. Quick shipping and good customer service. A+++

Excellent product, great service really nice packaging, and shipped quickly.

Just received my gunbelt/holster rig a few days ago. Very satisfied. The quality is fantastic for the price.I'm ordering a second one in a different color and a different size... mine was slightly too large, but adjustable (my fault on the measurement). Don't just add 4 inches...measure. In my case, only needed 2 inches greater than waist. Everybody's different.

Light weight, needed some adjustments to fit better on my shoulders, good quality in materials, good workmanship, very authentic looking.

I really liked this vest. It is quiter comfortable and nice looking

This is the most beautiful and the best made vest I have ever seen. I have owned more vests than I can count and while this is not an everyday work vest it is so well made it could be used that way, I will however wear it for dressing up. The people at Historical Emporium are great to work with, they are the best.

I love your detailed measurement descriptions... especially in the bust. So hard to tell difference in manufacturer's size specifications based only on L or XL. Only thing I didn't like is how you are almost always sold of of the larger sizes 2X and XL in many of the other most fashionable blouses.

Great service! Great product! Halloween was the best yet!

Don't know anybody with similar western interests as I have.

The organization and speed of my order was very impressive.

Items arrived in good condition, matched description, happy.

very pleased with product and service, delivery to Australia for our Black Powder shooting event next year.

This was a great purchase, the quality is amazing. The service, over the phone order and then come in in person to try on and pick up was fabulous. I want to buy more!

Came quick as said and very good quialty. Very happy with my purchase

Your products are of much higher quality than other places I looked, but prices are still reasonable.

Historical Emporium products are very good quality and truly historically correct of time period. shipping items arrive very quickly after ordering and are packaged so that they are in great condition with no shipping damage. We recommend Historical Emporium for all your steam punk, Cos-play, L.A.R.P. needs Thank you. Chris & Doneva Tomlinson Lotuszen@mchsi.com

Service was fast. Product lived up to description. Packaging was good, but much too large for the item.

I had been let down by a dressmaker in the UK and needed a costume urgently. I found you via Google and I am thrilled withe costume - superb quality and very reasonable price. Thank you!

got it quick good quality it fit very pleased thank you

The items arrived in good condition and in good time.

Completely pleased with the quality for the price offered.

Very good prompt service

I was very impressed with the time it took to fill the order and have it shipped. I ordered on a Friday night and the following Wednesday I had the item.

I like the Historical Emporium. I have found web sites where I can purchase the same items, and similar items, for less. Although, there is a fine collection on this one website. It is an amazing online store for both those starting to purchase 19th Century attire, or those just wishing to add to their wardrobe.

Well made Frontier Classic pants at a great price, shipped quickly! Thank you. I'll be back!

I got my order fast, and the product was excellent. I was also able to send a money order which helps me a great deal not having a credit card and all. I will always order from here for my clothing needs.

Tough to figure size. Measured chest and waist ordered shirt and pants unless I loss a lot of weight shirt will never fit. Normal size is 2x, shirt is 2x must return at an additional (Postage) cost plus exchange(shipping) cost.Pants appear to be of good quality, however additional cost to alter leg length makes the pants to expensive. Have found additional source where help is available without traveling 3 thousand miles to get proper fit.

I've always worn 2XL shirts, the first two 2XL shirts I purchased we at least 3 or 4X L, had to take to a tailor, cost $40.00 (US) With next order I ordered shirts I tried XL, worked fine Im that order a Black workers vest was ordered, size XL, this item was about a Medium, so I returned for exchange.Still waiting for second try. My wife ordered me a Sully's Western fringedand beaded size 2XL. We both worried until it arrived. Perfect! I strongly believe that your QC of clothjing items, manufacturer in Pakestain. This haviong to return items gets old and frustrating.

you have made a dream come true! i have looked for an 18th century shirt or poet's shirt for SO long. thought i'd have to have one made and then i find your site by chance. i'm SO glad i found your site and i have shared it with many friends since. thanks! great stuff! alex

Had an issue with the product, but very helpful in resolving it!

nice products. novel products

Wonderful assortment of clothing and what-have-you, at reasonable prices, with fast service!

Shipping was less than a business week! Given the holidays I was surprised and my birthday gift order came in time in perfect condition. I would shop here again. :)

I work at a jewelry store and the vests give me a style all of my own. Thank you for keeping it old school!

Very pleased with purchase. Received quickly and was very good quality. Have already recommended to others.

I am very pleased with my order & your store.

I bought a 2342 Lucille walking suit (Floral) and I love it. I wore it to a craft show to draw attention to my display of Herbal products that I make and sell. I also put on victorian Herbal Teas for our church and I'm having a ball. I highly recommend the products. They are very well made and are shipped very fast.

very fast delivery

You always provide great customer service and great products.

I love the products and have yet to have any real problems with any of the products that I have ordered so far.

Very good quality, appears authentic, and much of it is made in the USA! I enjoy wearing the clothing and wonder why we ever stopped dressing that way...

I have friends who like this kind of clothing, so I believe they would enjoy this website.

Great Quality, Helpful comments and testimonials.

good service, prompt delivery, exactly what I needed for a period costume

I seen this vest I Loved but it was out of stock so I waited several months to try again and they worked hard to get it for me from there supplier. They were wonderful to work with.

ordered and received with no hassles....!

Great communication. A pleasure to do business with HISTORICAL EMPORIUM. Thank you

Everything I've order has been great. Your follow up is excellent and the one exchange I had was easy. Thank you.

as always the items were delivered in a timely fashion and are of excellent quality. Very happy to shop with you and I always recommend you to friends looking for steampunk/victorian attire.

I already have!

Excellent product and speedy delivery. Prices are a tad high but reflect the product quality. Wore the outfit I purchased from you at my wedding, and the effect was brilliant. Should I have the finances to purchase from you in the future, you can be assured that i will.

Fast delivery good products

Well done. uality product and delivering, even in Europe. Nothing went wrong. Please keep serious as you are !

Love the vest selection, BUT, would like to see more wool vests.
