It's a splendid bit of cappery which I've purchased here. Fits with the perfect level of snugness. High quality leather, stitched together immaculately. I've not a single negative point to bring up regarding this cap.

I searched and searched online for a dress boot to wear at my wedding this summer, until I found this shoe. The pictures on the website made it look like everything I had looked for. I ordered the boot and eagerly awaited its arrival. I was so disappointed, however, when they came that I immediately returned them. The pictures on the website are not at all true to the color, texture, and quality of the product's leather. If you want a better idea of what the boot looks like, check it out on the Stacy Adam's website. Even their pictures aren't perfectly accurate. This shoe could not be worn for anything other than a costume. The leather upper looks and feels like plastic; the shoe laces are also of a poor quality. I would not recommend this boot to anyone who is looking for real footwear.

it seemed like ages to receive this item down to English customs and excise but worth the wait as the tail coat is for my sons wedding. He drew what he wanted and it was spot on, i am glad that he will be wearing a jacket of quality and style thank you Gentlemans Emporium. you have made it possible for me to answer my sons wish.

We were very pleased with this purchase. Like the way they fit, and we ordered one size up, which fit perfectly. Do not try to "cram" yourself into these...just buy one size larger, cause they sit a little higher than modern pants, but are really good pants. They have the hooks for suspenders, which we may end up buying, but actually, by the time we put on the vest, coat, etc., you don't see them, and they fit nicely without rolling down, so it's up to you, suspenders are not necessary to keep these pants up, which is what I was worried about. They are quite long, and we will be getting them hemmed. The only way these could be better, is if they actually came pre-hemmed by length needed.

This watch is a quite lovely and feminine accessory for either a steampunk outfit or everyday wear. It has a delicate chain, and I love the detail on the cover with the sprocket cut-out. Although the watch is small, the numbers on the dial are easy to read. I am very happy with my first purchase from your store!

I bought this tailcoat for my son and husband as we are part of an English Country dance group for a local museum. The coat is of excellent quality; the sizing was spot on - no alterations will be needed. The coats were delivered extremely quickly and packed well - out of the box and on the backs with no fuss! I am extremely pleased with my purchase and highly recommend both the tailcoat and Historical Emporium for its service.

I got this after I transitioned from crutches to a cane. It was very stylish and the compass went with the firm I own, Compass Alliance. I lvoe the looks of the stick, the size, and the compass but the tip is very slippery. It has a small rubber collar on it, which bends after a little while, and the metal brad that holds the tip on slips on most commercial flooring. I've tried a pool cue tip but no luck. I still like the stick, but not for what I originally purchased it for.

I love the skirt, it is very well made and looks better than I had even hoped for. I would like to know what to do in order to return one of the skirts, I was rushed for time so I bought both sizes to make sure I had one that fits, and now I need to return the one that didn't fit. I am not sure if I should go to the post office or UPS. Thank you for your time and I look forward to shopping with you in the future. Stacy

Nice shirt. Fits well, feels nice, looks good. Only negative is the way it comes out of the dryer. Although I watched the dryer closely and took the shirt out when it was still a little damp, I still had to iron it to make it look good.

Overall good quality, but the buttonholes are a little tight and needed to be pushed open a bit before buttons would work without fear of ripping them from the vest body.

I ordered this shirt as a first trial of the Historical Emporium's service. This first purchase took a while to arrive, but it was within the suggested length of time for delivery. It fits perfectly and I really like the colour. As a result of this first order, I have since ordered a much larger selection of items, and they arrived very quickly! I was somewhat taken aback, however to find that I had to pay duty on them. I understood that we have a free trade agreement with the U.S., but I did not realize that these items were generally made outside of that country and therefore were not subject to this agreement. In future, it would be nice if the source of manufacture of items could be shown in the online catalog to avoid unpleasant surprises. However, I will still buy from the site as the service is very good, and so are the products.

Gentlemens Emporium, I cannot express me gratitude in finding your shoppe on the interwebs. As an international jewel thief, it's imperative to have first rate disguises at the ready and who would suspect a woman as beautiful as Countess Von Drake to be disquised as a mysterious man in a mustache and bowler could possibly have the crown jewels hidden in his waistcoat? Yes, thanks to you, and your clever mustache, I will have champagne bubbles tickling my nose by the Riveria tonight! Wahhhhhh haaa haaa! Au revoir! Possibly written by the international jewel thief Villianna Ratsworth Aka: Countess Von Drake Aka: mysterious mustached man in bowler Aka: ???

I have been wanting a rather long-length coat for years now, only to be greatly disappointed at the lack of longer coats out in general retail. I also seem to have a bit of a thing for 19th century style, so that's what brought me to this site and this coat. Put in my purchase, and got it in right the next week. If you are planning on just wearing it alone (like I was), don't be put off on the sizing. I usually wear a size 44 coat, so I went for this coat in size 42, and the fit is fantastic. I am also a fan of the outer and inner pockets, and it is just an overall awesome coat.

I was extremely satisfied with the purchase of this item. It was purchased for my 90 yr. old mother-in-law who at night as I put her to bed, she would put on a shower cap to keep her hair from being mussed and I would sing "In your Easter Bonnet" to her. As Easter is approaching, I decided that I would give her a Easter Bonnet as a surprise gift.

The Lamb leather vest (Buffalo Flats vest), is very light and thin. It is ideal for everyday wear summer & winter. I have not found a lapel leather vest for many years. I recomend this item to anyone. This vest is made by Scully. If you are looking for a heavey leather vest, I recomend contacting the Western Emporium. There are very very few western leather garment companies. Most of the leather is imported and not made in the USA. I highly recomend the Historical Emporium for all your historical needs !! I have not found any other to compare to the rich heritage of the Historical Emporium !! Rev. Dr. Wil1

Perfect Accessory
Our handbell group is doing a concert, and the theme is a New Orleans-style funeral....starting out as a dirge and ending as a celebration. This umbrella and fan are perfect for the entry procession. I will be the envy of all the other "mourners".

Awesome
I have been wanting a rather long-length coat for years now, only to be greatly disappointed at the lack of longer coats out in general retail. I also seem to have a bit of a thing for 19th century style, so that's what brought me to this site and this coat. Put in my purchase, and got it in right the next week. If you are planning on just wearing it alone (like I was), don't be put off on the sizing. I usually wear a size 44 coat, so I went for this coat in size 42, and the fit is fantastic. I am also a fan of the outer and inner pockets, and it is just an overall awesome coat.

Gentlemens Emporium, I cannot express me gratitude in finding your shoppe on the interwebs. As an international jewel thief, it's imperative to have first rate disguises at the ready and who would suspect a woman as beautiful as Countess Von Drake to be disquised as a mysterious man in a mustache and bowler could possibly have the crown jewels hidden in his waistcoat? Yes, thanks to you, and your clever mustache, I will have champagne bubbles tickling my nose by the Riveria tonight! Wahhhhhh haaa haaa! Au revoir! Possibly written by the international jewel thief Villianna Ratsworth Aka: Countess Von Drake Aka: mysterious mustached man in bowler Aka: ???

Coulter Shirt
I ordered this shirt as a first trial of the Historical Emporium's service. This first purchase took a while to arrive, but it was within the suggested length of time for delivery. It fits perfectly and I really like the colour. As a result of this first order, I have since ordered a much larger selection of items, and they arrived very quickly! I was somewhat taken aback, however to find that I had to pay duty on them. I understood that we have a free trade agreement with the U.S., but I did not realize that these items were generally made outside of that country and therefore were not subject to this agreement. In future, it would be nice if the source of manufacture of items could be shown in the online catalog to avoid unpleasant surprises. However, I will still buy from the site as the service is very good, and so are the products.

Nice shirt. Fits well, feels nice, looks good. Only negative is the way it comes out of the dryer. Although I watched the dryer closely and took the shirt out when it was still a little damp, I still had to iron it to make it look good.

Cinch Skirt
I love the skirt, it is very well made and looks better than I had even hoped for. I would like to know what to do in order to return one of the skirts, I was rushed for time so I bought both sizes to make sure I had one that fits, and now I need to return the one that didn't fit. I am not sure if I should go to the post office or UPS. Thank you for your time and I look forward to shopping with you in the future. Stacy

Great stick, needs better tip
I got this after I transitioned from crutches to a cane. It was very stylish and the compass went with the firm I own, Compass Alliance. I lvoe the looks of the stick, the size, and the compass but the tip is very slippery. It has a small rubber collar on it, which bends after a little while, and the metal brad that holds the tip on slips on most commercial flooring. I've tried a pool cue tip but no luck. I still like the stick, but not for what I originally purchased it for.

I would have placed a 10 but the vest I bought had issues. 2 of the buttons fell off when I pulled it out of the package and the bukle on the back of the vest is non-functional it appears to be broken. We sewed the buttons and put a safety pin in the buckle.

I bought this tailcoat for my son and husband as we are part of an English Country dance group for a local museum. The coat is of excellent quality; the sizing was spot on - no alterations will be needed. The coats were delivered extremely quickly and packed well - out of the box and on the backs with no fuss! I am extremely pleased with my purchase and highly recommend both the tailcoat and Historical Emporium for its service.

This watch is a quite lovely and feminine accessory for either a Steampunk outfit or everyday wear. It has a delicate chain, and I love the detail on the cover with the sprocket cut-out. Although the watch is small, the numbers on the dial are easy to read. I am very happy with my first purchase from your store!

good quality pants
We were very pleased with this purchase. Like the way they fit, and we ordered one size up, which fit perfectly. Do not try to "cram" yourself into these...just buy one size larger, cause they sit a little higher than modern pants, but are really good pants. They have the hooks for suspenders, which we may end up buying, but actually, by the time we put on the vest, coat, etc., you don't see them, and they fit nicely without rolling down, so it's up to you, suspenders are not necessary to keep these pants up, which is what I was worried about. They are quite long, and we will be getting them hemmed. The only way these could be better, is if they actually came pre-hemmed by length needed.

Costume Shoes
I searched and searched online for a dress boot to wear at my wedding this summer, until I found this shoe. The pictures on the website made it look like everything I had looked for. I ordered the boot and eagerly awaited its arrival. I was so disappointed, however, when they came that I immediately returned them. The pictures on the website are not at all true to the color, texture, and quality of the product's leather. If you want a better idea of what the boot looks like, check it out on the Stacy Adam's website. Even their pictures aren't perfectly accurate. This shoe could not be worn for anything other than a costume. The leather upper looks and feels like plastic; the shoe laces are also of a poor quality. I would not recommend this boot to anyone who is looking for real footwear.
