Well made and excellent styling, but be advised that the fit is generous. You might consider going down a size from your regular purchasing habits.

Product was exactly as shown. Shipping was fast. I ordered it last minute for my daughter's "Steam Punk Wedding", and it came in plenty of time and added a more dressy look for my outfit.

The color of this vest was amazing! The customer service agent's recommendation to measure for the exact size was a good thing - I would have ordered a medium or large because my son has such broad shoulders, but once I was explained how to measure properly it turned out he took a small and it fit perfectly! The one disappointment I had with the product is that every button on the front of the vest was only attached by a thread or two. Each button (6 of them) had to be sewn on to make sure they didn't fall off with the first wear. Fortunately for me, I turned it into a sewing lesson for my 14 year old son who learned how to thread a needle and sew on buttons!!

This bathing suit was an excellent buy! No where else will you find something like this. High quality and great look! I have even gotten sincere compliments from other beach-goers. Great fit too, nice and loose. I've ordered a lot of other things from here, and my normal size for a vest is a small, so I had no choice but to order the medium, but it fits wonderfully! Only issue I had was determining which side was the front for the shirt because it does not have tag on the neck....so I concluded that the front would be when the tag on side seam is on your right hand side.

My husband just loves this vest. He loves having the "look" of an Irishman, lol. Originally he wanted it for an old fashioned wedding we were to attend. I got it for him for Father's Day and he was so excited by it. He had been searching for one every where and found that the quality of the Burford vest was by far the BEST he had found. Thank you!!

The watch itself is very nice, the tinted cristal makes reading the time a little difficult. I would recommend the clear cristal. The chain is another story. I couldn't find out what it's made of so I'll buy a new chain in antique silver. The chain that comes with the pendent is making my neck itch. Next time I buy something from you if I can't find out what the product is made of I won't buy it.

The collar is made fairly well, and seems correct for the time period. As noted, you will need to starch it to add stiffness. I found the sizes and chart to be lacking a little. The first collar I ordered ended up being too big when I used the medium chart to go with my shirt size, so I had to order the next size down. It would be nice if there were 1/2 sizes for a better fit. More collar options for after 1900 would be good to have too.

Extremely pleased with the is jacket. Beautifully made, great details and it fit perfectly. I wore it to a classical music recital I attended in the Hall of Mirrors at the Palace of Versailles in Paris and it was beautiful and perfect for the evening. A great addition to my wardrobe.

This appears to be a very good quality hat, but the size was much larger than expected. I wear a 7 or 7 1/8 but this hat (a Medium) was several sizes too large. Unfortunately, the "Medium" is the smallest size they carry!

When contacted you didn't know what the product is made of. A seller should know about the product they sell.

My CSA was AMAZING!!! Extremely helpful....the picture on-line did not show the back of the vest to see if there was a fastener to tighten the vest in case it was too big. The CSA noted that the item was in stock and asked if she could put me on hold to actually go and pull the item to look at it herself!!! WOW! Now that is customer service!! There was also a question about the size and she recommended that I measure my son (and told me how to do it properly) while she waited - patiently! I would have definitely ordered the wrong size. I have already told several people about this company! Her politeness and taking the extra steps was truly something that would make me order from this company again! We also received the item in a much shorter time than expected and the shipping fees were not ridiculously expensive. Great service which makes for a great company! Thank you!

I have ordered from you before. My only complaint is that you don't offer your outfits in petite. I am 5' 1 1/2, and I need to take about six inches off the skirts before I can wear them. I love the boots! My husband and I dress for carriage driving events, and your outfits are perfect!
