These are really cute and comfy. They kept my feet warm. Looking forward to the next time I get to wear them. :)

A really wonderful cashmere scarf of very high quality. Made in Germany and hand stitched, it is soft, warm, and suprisingly high quality for the low, low price of $20 US. I wore it for two weeks in Denmark in these autumn days and it was fashionable and functional.

I ordered this vest to wear at our 50th Anniversary celebration. It not only fits well but it goes great with the deep purple dress my wife purchased for the celebration along with the deep purple western shirt I'll be wearing. Our thank to Historical Emporium and Wah Maker for offering great products. You can count on us to be back for more in the future. Bill Eyl

Very nice pants, very comfortable. Yes, incredibly long inseam, but as stated in info, you have to hem to your own lenght. Recommended, my fav trousers per today.

I originally ordered this coat for an event I was attending as part of my outfit but it's such a great piece, I find myself wearing it as my every day coat. Excellent construction, a high quality leather that even though it is not lined, is substantial in weight and has so far kept me warm in temps as low as 39 degrees F. Makes for a great addition to anyone's wardrobe regardless of if it's for dressing up or everyday use.

What a lovely coat! Feels and looks the part, giving me that vintage look/feel. ( No wonder as I have a pair of magnificent sideburns!) I ordered a size 42, and it fits snugly onto me, not oversized in any way. No room for my Davenport frock coat, but hey, this will be my winter coat, hence no need for another coat beneath. I hope this coat will soon be back in stock, for the benefit of loads of customers!

Just as advertised. I bought a complete costume and after some (not inconsiderable) efforts to deal with the new customer security verification was happy with the product! Word to the wise, if your a new customer... choose to check your credit card account via phone or online and use that to verify your id, I had a few difficulties that delayed things a few days due to recent changes in address, but customer service was decent in working through things particularly via phone.

I love the vest, it fits great. Only thing I'm not too crazy about is the buttons are not very secure. After wearing it a few times, the buttons look like their ready to fall off shortly. Other than that, the vest is great. Thanks again.

As soon as I put on this shirt , it gave me the 'feelgood' feeling. Lovely, thick fabric, feels very nice to wear, warm and pleasant. I have worn it out once , then given it a 40 degrees wash, and I can not find any of the flaws mentioned in another review here. My favourite everyday shirt!

After reading the comments here, I was afraid these shoes would not fit, but they did! Size 10 - fit snugly as a sock. Looks great, feels great too - but I subtract 1 star for the squeaking. For squeak they do! A generous helping of mink oil to the tongue and lacing area did the trick though.

I really like this vest. I can't necessarily RAVE about it, but it's comfortable and stylish, and exactly what I was looking for. I purchased it for my wedding, in which I'm wearing primarily victorian/Edwardian. Frontier Classics makes some great stuff, and this is certainly one of those items.

Received Belt & holster very quickly and after review and testing with revolver, I was very satisfied. Revolver fit perfectly and holster and belt looked very good, very nice craftmanship. When the time comes again for a need of another belt and holster, I definately will purchase from Historical Emporium

I was looking for an alternative to the traditional "Bow Tie" for my wedding, and this ascot REALLY delivers. It is beautiful! Pictures do not do it justice! Incredibly comfortable, stylish, and the feel of the fabric, (it's a microfiber,) is just lovely. I didn't know it when I ordered it, but it's made by Stacey Adams. So now, apart from my Stacey "Madison Boots," (which my favorite dress shoes,) I've got more stylish comfort from them!

I purchased this walking stick for a victorian theatrical production and was thoroughly surprised. I decided to go with the least expensive walking stick offered on the website to stay on budget. When it arrived, it was cautiously and carefully packed. I was amazed to find the quality and craftsmanship far exceeded my expectations. For the price, I expected gold painted trim and flimsiness, but found beautiful inlay and solid weight to this walking stick instead. Well worth the expense!

I ordered the tall derby from the emporium having never done business with this company before. I did not know what to expect. My experience with this company has been excellent. The product arrived very quickly, well packaged and in good condition. The hat far exceeded my expectations in quality and looks. I am certainly happy to do business with the Historical Emporium and plan to purchase other items from them in the near future.

I adore this shirt. I wanted a high collar shirt for my wedding that wasn't the tradition "Wing Collar with the stitched down wing lapels, because I was intending to wear an ascot, (the Gentleman's Emporium "Satin Professional Ascot: Silver," which I've also reviewed.) It's a "Frontier Classics" product, and when it comes to victorian/Western wear, there are really only two commercial choices: Frontier and Wah Maker. This shirt is no exception and Frontier Classics certainly delivers! Full button down, (didn't want to "pullover with bib" shirt) nice metal buttons, excellent construction. Most of all, it is made of THE MOST SOFT, COMFORTABLE COTTON I've ever worn on an "Off the Rack" dress shirt! Often with dress shirts, (and especially tux shirts,) even if you wash them before wearing, the first few times you wear them, you get your neck chafed raw by the inside collar. I pulled this right out of the plastic, put it on, and was immediately comfortable. The fit was perfect, and the style was EXACTLY what I was looking for. It does have a pleated bib front, like the more commonly available tux shirts, but the pleats are wide, and it gives it a far more subtle patten and makes it infinitely more comfortable. So, it looks like I'll be spending my wedding day in total comfort!

This skirt is well made & moves beautifully when I walk. Good length & nice dark color. When I button it in the loosest buttons there is a gap under the buttons but at the tightest setting everything looks fine.

United States
2012-10-18
The only thing wrong with this beautifully made dress is that the sleeve arms are a bit tight. perhaps a bit of elastic an inch or two at the seam would be very helpful. (in the larger sizes, at least). Other than that, its a great piece!

I am very pleased with my vial pendant necklace. It is holding a little bit of my mamma's ashes, so that I can take her places and "show" her beautiful scenery of the places I go. She loved to travel, and had a great sense of humor. I've been very pleased with it's function and attractive design. Only issue is the opening is quite small, so it was a challenge getting the ashes into it. But I did want a very small vial, so it makes sense. Otherwise, it is serving it's purpose very well. Delivery was quick too, just in time for my trip. Thanks!

I was tired of jeans and chick pants were all so dull. These canvas trousers are good for knocking around and can be spruced up with a change of top. Good construction, interesting details. I had them hemmed at my local dry cleaner but they could look good just rolled up too. Historical Emporium is quick in shipping and the packaging is gift-like. Special!

I purchased this for a costume wedding. It was the right price since I did not want to invest into something very expensive for a one/few times use. Its well built and fits good. The ear flaps open but the holes are small and don't look good open. The front flap is held in place with a snap that allows you to flip it down for a different look which is nice. It has an adjustment on the back to tighten it up but leaving it stock was perfectly sized for me. I wear ball caps in a 7¼ and it was just right. There are some loops on the back that allowed me to thread my goggles through and kept them from falling off my head. All in all I would recommend this for someone who isnt wanting to spend a bunch on something that wont get used often. The Material doesn't seem like it would hold up for extended use though so serious cosplayers may want to get one with a bit higher quality.

I would give Historical Emporium a 5/5 stars, even though I recieved the wrong item at first, simply because of the prompt service I recieved when I notified them of the mistake. I ordered these white and black spats, but got instead black on black spats. I emailed them the problem, and they sent me a return label and I got it shipped out at no cost to me, and recieved my correct shoes only a couple days later. I couldn't have asked for better service, especially after dealing with the complete opposite service with another company.

I bought a brown leather holster, and ordered the wrong size, which was my fault. I contacted them about making an exchange,an made an appointment, and because I only lived an hour away I drove there instead of shipping. The exchange went well they were very pleasent to deal with, and in less than 15 minutes I was on my way after letting me try on a couple of different sizes to get the right one. I wil buy from them again.

I was a Prairie Women for my Grandson's Old Missouri Days @ his school.They helped construct a small mock up version of a sod house for me. I wish the apron strings had been a little longer cuz I wear a large size 18 pants & also I would have loved pockets on the apron in the front. I embelished the Bonnet with fabric & lace from the same material as the skirt & cape I made. I must say the finished product looked very good. The quality of your products was excellent.

I absolutely love the fit and color of the vest. It works beautifully to accent a suit or a formal steampunk costume. While the fabric is comfortable and not too restrictive, it proved too thin to support the clamp on the end of my pocket-watch chain. A minor disappointment in an overall wonderful product that I would recommend in a heartbeat.

The shirt itself and shipping time where all great. However, the only reason that I did not give five stars was the shirt's color. It appears MUCH lighter in the picture than the actual shirt apparently is. Luckily this darker shade also works for my purposes, but I would have preferred the lighter shade that is advertised.

I had gotten recomendation about this site from other people and took a chance on their suggestion and I was NOT disapointed. My theater was needing a much better looking pointed pith helmet for their turn of the century explorers. This fit the bill perfectly. It is at a great price and excellent quality. If we need more, I am coming back and getting it here.

This is a good period fez, if you want a tassel you will need to provide your own. I found that it fits a good 22 inch head, otherwise you might need to add a layer of foam to help it stay on better. I needed a good fez for my remake of the mummy we were doing. This is period and looks great on stage and some of our patrons have asked where we got it. Keep in mind this is millinary wool streched over a block, so it isnt as stiff as other fezes out there, but it is period and much nicer then those cheapies out there.

First impression: As said, the hat tops off the costume very well and gives it that missing something. I'll tell you, if the price point on the full on top hat puts you off, look no further than the John Bull top hat. Quality: Sturdy and well put together. So should you find your gentlemanly self in a bind, the hat can take some abuse. I don't recommend doing BMX in it.

Bought one size bigger than I ususally wear to be safe that it would be big enough and comfortable for a long evening party. Could have stayed with my normal order size and been comfortable.

The mustache has not been received. My son has checked daily in his P.O. Box at college and with the college post office. I told my son that I would contact Historical Emporium tonight after he verified again it was not on campus. When I turned on my email (before opening your email) I thought, oh, that you would be informing me of lost delivery. This purchase was not totally for fun. My son has done his Holocaust/History paper on Josef Stalin. He was going dressed as Stalin. All the other materials have arrived (russian hat, medals, uniform). Now he is running out of time to get a mustache because of the missing delivery. Regards, Elizabeth Brunstad

Great idea though implementation is tough. Parts are small and may fall off, also in general heavier than expected and clip does not seem to reliably hold on. Still as one of their side products the loops are great flair an for the price worth a little bit of extra work to use.

My purchase order was handled rapidly and packaged well. The items were exactly as described and are in excellent condition, better than advertised. I would not hesitate to order again from Historical Emporium. Thanks for an awesome buying experience.

I REALLY love this hat...! I got the right size for my head (Large), and fits very comfortably. I own a derby hat as well, which cost a bit more & a tad better quality. However, with that being said, this hat is of good quality for the price. It's lightweight, comfortable, sharp looking, and gives me that "different" look when I walk around in public. I get a LOT of different looks when wearing, plus a good amount of compliments since not many people wear them in the area (Chi-Town). I love the fact it keeps my head warm due to it being the fall right now, and with my bald head, I like to keep it warm. Keeping my head warm is always more important to me than having a jacket, plus the fact I do not want to wear baseball caps (sick of wearing them) nor skull caps because everyone all the time, since everyone tends to wear those majority of the time. So if you are looking for your own sense of style, to wear you are casual but not overly dressed, this is the one for you. Plus it goes great with my spring/fall three quarters length black nylon jacket. I have people tell me its almost "Jack Ripper'ish"! With that being said, my look is complete. Thanks Historical Emporium! Cuzzin' Vinny

... but if I'm dreadfully honest, I fell prey to something I see a lot in online clothes shopping (but was too excited about this purchase to think about it ahead of time) -- the color of the actual coat is several shades darker than the item appears in the online images (such as the one to the left of this comment box now). A slight disappointment, as it takes my purchase further away from the classic item it is intended to emulate. It's still a gorgeous coat, and I'll be back for other purchases from your terrific store... but if it's possible, please try to light your photographs of the clothing to more clearly show the actual color of such items.

They work great. bit "snug" fit on the side. i take them off and there are indents where they were. thinking about maybe having them widened then have my actual lenses cut to the size of these glasses.

BUT BUT you need to offer them in a larger neck size.BUT a large shirt like i wear only has a 16.5 neck well i need a 17 or 17.5 because i only buy band collars. some fit some dont. gee see what you can do. Ill buy more if i can get that size. thanks.

For 45.00 I was pretty disappointed in the quality of this product.The stitching is not even on both sides of the cap,so it does not fit evenly on my head.Given the vast selection out there on the web,I only give a company one chance to get it right.And Historical Emporium was a FAIL!!I was going to use this cap to ride my Harley in but,it doesn't fit right so...

I was very pleased with your promt attention to my order. I have been in law enforcement my whole life and retired in 2007 after 37 years of service. I as thrilled at the authenticity of the badge you sent me. The detail and design were amazing. The products if found at your web site are now in my favorites for easy orders in the future. If anyone ask's me, I would highly recommend your site for any and all old western needs.

Service was excellent. vest quality very good. Fit excellent. I needed to reinforce the stitching on 4 buttons other than that an excellent product at a fair price with exceptional service.

The shirt is very well-made. It is heavyweight, but still remains relatively cool to wear. The buttons and studs are metal which seems more period to me. I would say a little pricey, but to be honest, it was the lowest price shirt of it's kind I found online.

Very nice quality and delivered in a very timely manner. Courteous and knowledgable staff on phone sourced a difficult to find largest size from another warehouse and did careful checking of measurements so skirt would fit our actress.

Thanks to your very knowledgeable customer service rep, I got the perfect size (did NOT order up 1/2 size, since my feet are a little narrower than average). These boots fit like custom made. Quality is excellent. The color "Brandy" is what we used to call "Cordovan" - a little more neutral than plain brown. I am a very happy customer.

Perfectly perfect In every way. The ribbon ties make it exceptionally easy to custom fit this piece. Suggest tacking down when you have it fit so they stay put and you don't get them tangled in wash etc. Since this is a costume we did not sew down completely as it will have to be altered for the next actress but if for personal use would suggest this. Our actress commented on how pretty the costume made her feel. Nice!

I got two complements the first day I wore it. I'm a boot maker and dress with a 1906 style. I'v had similar shirts that were wearing out and replaced it with this one when I saw it in your online catalog. I'm going to get a couple more. Maybe this weekend

Good frames, solid construction. Don't look like they'll break quickly. Negative aspect: Too shiny. If wearing for stage, they look too costume-y. Although, can dry brush over it to give illusion of them being older.

For the price, it's good. It's a little more lightweight than I had hoped though.

Perfect starter goggles! I'm putting together my first steampunk costume and these are a great finishing touch. With a little primer, copper paint and an assortment of old watch gears glued on they look fantastic. The replacement lenses I ordered add an extra touch of style. Shipped quickly, as all of my orders have been.

Although this shirt is suppose to be loose by style, it is larger in the neck and body than a small/medium size would indicate. I will have to have the neck altered as I always wear a size 15 neck and size 39 suit.

Thought products were good value for money spent. Unfortunately the cartridge belt was too small and the larger size was not available at this time to order in the color I wanted. Will continue to monitor the site and buy when size available in color I want.

it is easiest to evaluate items when they can be seen on or being used by a model. That may be my own lack of imagination, but it helps me choose items that I might not otherwise purchase

The quality of the clothing is excellent. In fact, I just ordered another shirt from you today. Also, your sales team are very friendly. The only problem is that the Ambassador vest that I ordered came in the wrong color. I ordered it in 'Red' and the vest that was sent was 'Gray'. However, I like it so much that I decided to keep it and wear it occasionally with my tux.

After completing an online order, I realized I needed a different size for one item. Unlike many online retailers, Historical Emporium was able to make this minor change and complete the order. Good job on empowering your employees to use common sense and resolve customer issues.
