Nothing says I'm a total badass more then a good pair of authentic looking welding goggles. These fit nicely, look dashing on my top hat, and adds that extra bit of class to any steam punk look. Would I recommend? Indeed I would.

I got these in the mail sooner then I expected and was very pleased with the quality. Very authentic, very sturdy, would recommend to anyone looking for an excellent vintage product.

I shopped a number of different sites for an opera scarf before settling on this one. Excellent price, and the scarf is comparable to those two or three times more expensive. Also, you cannot beat the customer service provided by Gentlemen's Emporium, my questions were answered promptly and correctly.

This vest fits me like it was tailored to my frame just for me by a master tailor. The pockets are really cool an in the right spots for my pocket watch and pocket knife. Looks better in person then on the computer and when matched with the trousers, 100 % awesome. Formal when wearing my frock coat and top hat or switch hats to a bowler for a more semi formal look. A really nice addition to my suit.

The metal casing was beautiful. But for $39 the cover should not have been thin plastic, but glass. The watch did not tell time for more than 6 hours. In this day and age, we can build watches, albeit reproductions that tell time longer than 6 hours. The plastic cover was the most shocking though.

This hat was authentic in detail and very well made. It compared favorably with a display of actual victorian era hats and clothing which was part of our event. I have recommended you to our Museum of History costumer as a potential supplier for first-person presenters.

I have to admit I was a bit hesitant on purchasing this vest. I am a seamstress and the price to build it would have been less expensive. But I am certainly not disappointed in this vest- in fact I would probably purchase another one in a different color. High quality fabric- not the cheap stuff. Perfect fit. Very professional

I purchased these pants for a theatrical production and was extremely pleased with the pants. They have held up nicely during the run of the show. True to size. Heavy weight fabric- not the cheap stuff.

An excellent buy if you want to have that I'm a Scientist and I kick it olde skool flair. It only have three downsides: The clamp could be of stronger construction, it'd be much better it it actually magnified effectively instead of turning everything into a blur, and it'd be swell if my mother would let me wear it in public.

I was surprised when I opened the box, I missed the fine print on the site saying that these are vintage Swiss military equipment. Surprised, but pleasantly. Though its not in perfect condition it gets it's job done rather well. They proved excellent support for ankles and make long walks less painful. Now if only my mother would let me wear them in public...

following your ideas as to sizing and then having them tailored to length the trousers fit so well, they are more comfortable then some of my really well worn pants....they look so good I like to wear them to a lot of functions now.

I purcashed two mustaches from you and they where great. They looked very real. One person even asked me if it my real mustache.

This watch has real character, and its well made and fascinating to look at too. People ask where they can get one, or if its a Harry Potter watch. I am enjoying it and wear it almost every day, although it runs a little fast.

I was impressed with the watch pendant. It looked just like the picture and came with the battery. I received it long before I expected to. All in all, good product. My sister will love it. In criticism, maybe I just didn't notice product dimensions posted, but I had expected the watch to be about half-again as big as it was, and the velveteen gift bag had a torn seam. Thankfully, I sew.

The buttons weren't sewn on properly and I had to remove both of them and reattach them in the correct places. Not a biggie, but for the price there ought to be better QA.

Gorgeous shirt. Runs true to size. Dads been wanting a bib front western shirt for a long time but never bought himself one. He was absolutely ecstatic (as ecstatic as a 57 yr old man can get) when he saw the shirt. It's made of heavy duty cotton and the metal buttons are very high quality too. Dad and I are both very pleased with the purchase.

Excellent service and a better and much larger selection than any other site I could find on the web. My only disappointment is that many styles of clothing were sold out in my size (small), vintage vests and shirts in particular. Will you be getting more stock in those sizes?

After shopping around I found there were a few other sites that had this same watch but none offered the great price the Historical Emporium offered. The watch came quickly and in great condition! I know he'll love it!

I actually sent everything back to be exchanged. The vests were all all too small. The coat was really not the quality I expected so I asked to exchange them for more vests. Your customer service regarding this issue will depend on whether or not I buy again or recommend others buy. Thank You Mike 859-494-7653

I really enjoyed the costumer support. You were very fast in replying to me. I do wish that some of the vests would come in longer sizes to accomidate using them in more everyday fashions (lower waistlines). Just a thought I had while searching through.

Every product I've bought from the Historical Emporium has been good quality, exactly as advertised, well priced, and has arrived quickly (very quickly!) and in good shape. And their line of merchandise is unusual and interesting, for lots of different purposes (costumes, fun, fashion for everyday...). Recommending Historical Emporium is a no-brainer.
