An additional packet of collar studs is recommended if you are ordering a shirt that requires even one. They are easily lost.

I bought them for my boyfriend and he loved the look of them. However because they only come in one size no matter how short he made them they didn't fit him right.

I am definitely satisfied with this hat I can change blocking any time I wish which is great and it like the flat crown planter hat goes well with my Jarvis frock coat three piece suit. I will be returning for future purchases. Thank you so much, it is a pleasure to do business with you.

The hat was too round . . . Unlike a persons head. It was too stiff to have any give to be comfortably worn. We are sending it back for an exchange.

My son is eighteen and he has wanted a top hat for three years. The first hat was too big but Historical Emporium exchanged it swiftly and effortlessly. Our son is over the moon! He wears his hat everywhere! And the quality is top notch. Great value and great store! Highly recommend.

This is a very nice skirt - well made, looks good and is a beautiful, rich brown color. I also own this style in the tan/khaki color. I like the option of the extra buttons in the back which allow for adjustment depending on whether you're wearing a blouse tucked in or an over blouse.

The darker lines in between the cords on the vest emphasize the vertical look and make this vest unique. Lots of compliments will be coming your way wearing the Caldwell Corduroy vest.

A very nice and comfortable vest. Needed to go up one size to find the proper fit, but that was a minor issue. The sewing and stitching looks very nice, and it seems to be very durable. Wish we would have had vests this nice when I worked at Farrell's Ice Cream in the 1970s!

I purchased the Brass Diver's Helmet Walking Stick as a Christmas gift for my husband, and it was delivered in plenty of time. He is very happy with it! We live on the East Coast and so we try to be realistic about anticipating how long it should take to receive a mail order from California. We have ordered hats and other accessories from your catalogue and we've been pleasantly surprised at how quickly we've gotten them. We've also been very happy with the quality of your products. We go to several Victorian and steampunk-themed events every year and many of our friends also buy their costume pieces from your catalog. Keep up the good work!

I purchased this watch as a Christmas gift for my son to give to his grandfather. It looks even better than I had expected. I also received the watch much faster than I had anticipated, which meant that I had time to get it engraved. I will definitely save this store to my favorites, and shop here again.

These pants look great. They fit very high and tight as was promised and desired. I had the hem moved up quite a bit, but that was expected also. Very fast delivery. The material may not be authentic, but it does not show. They certainly do not look cheap or steam punky. I wear them at turn of the century events with great success.

The blouse fits a trifle loosely -- but that it all for the good. It looks great with the vest I ordered as well and I feel quite at home in it. It is very well made and attractive.

These gloves are by far the BEST gloves I have ever slipped my hands into. Made perfectly in the great USofA! The softness of these gloves cannot be described in words, you have to order them for yourself to actually feel what people are talking about. The fit is so comfortable you won't want to take them off. I wear them everywhere I go and they look cool as cool can be.. I will probably order another pair just to have down the road, these gloves are that good.

Forget the cosplay appeal, the pull of a classic bygone era... I'm 45 and suffer from severe degenerative disk disease. I've had five major back surgeries in nine years and suffer nerve damage in both legs, inhibiting my mobility. These boots (of which I now own two pairs in different colors) are the best footwear I've found to lessen my daily discomfort. Strong heel, solid base, great arch and instep -- I wear them almost daily for work and casual outings. A fantastic product -- recommended for anyone looking for the perfect stylish-yet-everyday footwear.

Just as deep purple as pictured on site. I get compliments every time I wear it at home entertaining that I'm almost tempted to wear it out. It does fit snug if one goes by chest size. I'm 6'2'' and the sleeves are JUST the right length at the size I ordered- M- for 2 fingers'width of sleeve to show. But there is ample hem for longer arms. I see the ordinary sizes are sold out on site. Rightly so. I'd send them an email to bring it back in stock. Now I just need a matching embroidered velvet cap with a tassel!

Wire brim for forming, and heavy duty wool construction. Looks like it work take a lot of rough handling. I ordered it too large, but gave it away to a friend. Can't say anything negative. It was well worth the money!

I love this shirt. I plan on buying a couple of more. My only complaint is they match sleeve length to size. In other words if you have long arms you have to buy a large. If you are tall and thin like me it doesn't fit as well. But it still looks good.

I ordered these goggles simply out of curiosity and ended up loving them so much they've become an everyday wear! The case they come in is useful for storing them in a bag or pocket without worrying about scratching the lenses. When I got my goggles the lenses were a bit loose but that was easily fixed by bending the nubs back down that hold them in place. (no tools required) Long story short, I'd definitely buy these again in a heartbeat. :)

After reading other reviews, I ordered a size up, but found that they were much too large, so had to re-order. They now fit like a glove. These are fab pants and create a gorgeous silhouette. You could dress them up or down and are a heavy cotton ( like jeans ), so, sturdy and look to have a good life span. They're very stylish and based on the purchases I've made ( I also bought a pair of suspenders ), the quality of these products have won my loyalty. I will be shopping here again, for a long time.

I also own the "Brigade vest," which is very similar. I purchased the Fitzwilliam to have an alternative in another color (grey as opposed to black). If I did not already own the Brigade vest, I might be very happy with the Fitzwilliam. But the Brigade vest is a higher quality garment, in a heavier twill. The Fitzwilliam is constructed of a soft, low-quality wool that feels vaguely fake. It's by no means bad, but not what I was looking for. My greatest disappointment, however, was the color. The vest is darker than the product photography depicts. In fact, it is nearly black, which means there was no reason for me to own it as well as the Brigade vest. In addition, it's difficult to tell from the photography, but the buttons on the Fitzwilliam are definitely gold - another point that may have prevented me from purchasing it. The Fitzwilliam is a good, comfortable vest, and looks good when worn. But it is not what I was looking for.

I love these gauntlets, but beware - the leather is thin. This may actually be a good thing, depending upon your needs. They are not so heavy as to preclude Fall or Spring use. But they would not hold up to serious use (say, motorcycling) in a cold climate. I am fine with that, and they are comfortable for everyday costume wear.

This Moire Gibson Girl Skirt is beautiful! It is very well made and the fabric is lovely. The sizing chart was extremely helpful in choosing the correct size and eliminating the need to return and try another size. The skirt is very reasonably priced for an item of such quality. Thank you Historical Emporium!

Great vest. Fits me well. I'm a large man and usually have trouble with fitting, but this vest's sizing is perfect. This is the second vest of this type I've purchased from Historical Emporium. I can't say enough about their customer service.

Got raves about the vest, Love it .. just one thing, not quite long enough in the front, I am not a very large man tho I weigh 270, but 6 ft tall so your vest rides up and allows my waist belt to show. Still looks sharper than anyone else.. Thanks

My English-born son is reconnecting with his roots from head to toe at the moment and wanted a classy bowler hat (that's a derby to the American population). He wanted something that he could wear casually, formally and for a little steampunk dress-up- I wanted something that could become a family heirloom. This product fulfilled both of our desires and everyone- including complete strangers- who see it admire and covet it! My son's head-size was exactly at the crossover measurement between two sizes so we ordered a second size for comparison and ended up keeping that one and returning the first. The service was fast enough to do both "fittings" before Christmas (with my son's eyes closed to avoid premature joy) and the return process was painless. The hats were safely packaged and arrived in absolutely pristine condition. Would have loved a hat box too, though. I mean- a Historical Emporium hat box: how cool would that be??! Thanks H.E! We'll be back for a top hat soon!

First of all I found this poor value and quality. Secondly, I thought that I was buying a blouse with a jabot --if you look at the picture, that is what one sees! I did think it inexpensive for a blouse - but I think that 30 whatever dollars is ridiculously expensive for a piece of unfinished lace with a small cheap brooch attached. I will certainly not use your services again. Unsatisfied customer.

The holster is exactly as represented on your website, and the ordering was hassle-free and your tracking notifications put me at ease. I had some trepidation about the quality, but any fears were put rest when I opened the package! What you see is what you get! Even with the logistical difficulties of shipping to Hawaii in general, and my island in particular, delivery was promptly on time. Mahalo!!

Being a lover of horses and a pass history of owning the same. western history and dress as been a favor of mine. Lonesome dove is a movie that I have seen several times and it was there I first saw and fell in love with the Gus hat. The one that I have purchased from your company is exactly what I was hoping for. And I have been shopping and luckily I found Historical Emporium. I want to once again thank you for prompt delivery of this fine product. I have been getting many complement. Of course I have referred people to you. Thanks again. I will be shopping here again real soon.

I like the overall look and fit, but I find the buttons to be too flimsy. I only wore it 3 times and one of the buttons already popped and broke off. I wish they were more secure and sturdy, made out of a stronger material than plastic.

I wasn't quite sure of the color as I was looking for Royal Blue but it turned out very well and the fit precise... as it turned cold on my return to the Dicken's Fair it was quite a welcome bit of comfort in the chill and bluster of the winter. And many a Lady and Gent tipped their hats to me and commented on my well appointed attire. Cheers!

The blouse is beautiful, but unfortunately the size I bought, based on the website measurements, is off by 3-4 inches (too small) in the bust and waist. The blouse is well made and very pretty, but I can't wear it. I put a tape measure to the garment, and with the lacing at its most open the bust measurement is 3 inches smaller than the measurement given in your size chart, and the waist is 4 inches smaller. Perhaps other blouses you sell are true to the dimensions you give in your chart, but this one is not. Potential buyers should consider ordering a size or two bigger than usual.

There was an initial mess up regarding shipment but that was related to a contact email being sent to me that went to spam. Other than that, we are very pleased with the product. The person i purchased this for is very particular about the quality of garments, as am I. We were both very happy that the stitching and seem work was so high quality, and the price was very affordable for such quality. I have been looking for another period garment, but you do not carry such a thing. we have saved your website for potential future purchases as we were very happy, and have told others about your store. To let you know this was worn to the Florida Governor's Christmas Party and even pictures taken with the Governor and his wife. They loved the coat, and many people asked where she got it. I never do reviews but we were very pleased and you deserve it.

I purchased a detachable collar (Banker) according to my neck size. When it arrived it was wildly mis-sized. I could wrap it around my neck 1 1/4 times. I had to return it and pay return postage. I was disppointed with the collar because I was hoping for the very great satisfaction I had received from the Historical Emporium when I ordered my derby, which was excellent!

Thank you for giving me the chance to express my happiness over this order. I bought it for my boyfriend for Christmas and I was SO happy that he received ahead of the scheduled delivery time and BEFORE Christmas. When we opened out gifts for one another he was truly happy when he got it and surprised by the handkerchief - what a bonus! The quality he said was very high and he's been sporting it ever since. Thank you for helping me make his Christmas a happy one.

I purchased this watch as a Christmas gift for my son, he loved it! It's a great piece for the price, very cool to watch the gears move and work, seems to keep time well as long as you wind it up. Beyond the watch I was super impressed with the service I received. My order was placed, processed and received super fast. I encountered a problem with the first watch and when I contacted customer service they first attempted to address any problems and possibly avoid waiting for a replacement and when the problem was not fixed they sent out a new one the same day. I have shared the word already because family members were asking where I got it. Great place to do business with, amazing product, great prices!

They are well made of good fabric but beware that they run small and now have to be returned. I would advise ordering a 2" larger than your normal size. Also, the pants will need to be hemmed but that is a good thing for tall people.

I bought this as a holiday gift for a friend of mine and it is so handsome I decided I will soon buy one for myself. The detail in the brocade pattern is absolutely beautiful and metal buttons go with his watch chain. Thanks Historical Emporium!

I ordered these pants for my husband and he is already asking for another pair. He says they are very comfortable and help support his back. I ordered one size up from his normal size and the length was perfect. The bonus is that they are made in the USA!

Hi, This is the perfect tie for your St. Patrick's Day steam punk or Victorian outfit. Also, I noticed that the brocade pattern matches the pattern on the Farnsworth vest that I purchased. A perfect go-together.

Having never actually held a Derby, but wanting one for a long time, I was skeptical to purchase one on-line. The Deluxe Felt Derby arrived in a few short day and the first thing i noticed was the weight, it was very, very light and I was worried that my $60 purchase had only given me a Halloween replica. All worries were put to rest once i wore the hat. it took a little stretching to make it comfortable and adjust to my head, but it fits great. i have dropped it m,any times already and it has not been damaged or picked up any stains. The only thing I wish it had come with is a few different feathers and maybe a few notes on how to remove and change the head band. I don't want to attempt it blind just in case i cant get the same great look back. The brown goes with everything and is mush more versatile then a standard black. All in all the hat is fantastic and i will be purchasing more products from the Historical Emporium

This holster was a Christmas gift from my wife, I had looked and searched numerous sites, stores and manufacturers for a holster like the one purchased that would fit my handguns. After receiving this holster ...on time... as promised , I am completely satisfied with this product. The coloration, fit, and quality is supurb. I am the type individual who tells things like they are and am honest and up front with people. If I was dissatisfied in any way I would not hesitate to say so..... I would not hesitate to recommend this product and manufacturer to anyone looking for a quality holster. I grade my satisfaction this way, I simply ask myself would I purchase this product again from this company and manufacturer?......absolutely!!

These goggles are very nice. The only problem I found is that the strap is a bit short. But it is easy to replace with a longer strap. I would Highly recommend these goggles to anyone.

Nice Plaid trousers. I was lookin' around fer some nice like these. They fit well and as mentioned in another review; they aren't a very thick wool so you can wear them on days that ain't just real cold. As with basically all the trousers - you gotta have the suspenders to really fit the bill. Good stuff and 95% sure to get more in the future.

The quality of the shoes is wonderful but the lack of tread on the bottom makes some walking dangerous. Fit is wonderful but a bit small. Shoes feel pretty well made but the inside of the boots is a little scratchy so thicker longer socks are recommended. I'd buy them again.

This skirt was reasonably priced and it's since become a very versatile part of my costuming wardrobe. It's really held up well and it lends itself to various design alterations. Worn with the hoop skirt under and a great belt at the waist, it is fabulous. It arrived in great time and I received courteous service. I am impressed with the selection the Historical Emporium offers. I have purchased a top hat from here, very good quality, and I'll be back for a Classic Bowler next, I think.

I ordered this poker deck as a gift for my friend. Being a group of gentleman who enjoy a good poker game, we thoroughly enjoyed using this deck. We had quite a great time getting used to looking at the cards without the indices. Both sides of each card are gorgeous, and I would recommend this for any old soul who enjoys a good card game. My only complaint is that the stand at the bottom of the display box fell off as soon as my friend took off the plastic wrapping around the box. It was very poorly attached. But the cards themselves are fantastic.

They look slick, but they are about as robust as dry noodles in a 3-year old's hand. Do not purshcase for heavy useage. They are a look, but don't touch item. For the same amount of money, I bought a real pair safety goggles that are robust, but not as slick.

I purchased this watch for my teenage son. He has been wanting a pocket watch ever since his older brother bought one. I was pleased with the overall look and design of the watch. It seems well made and is keeping time splendidly. The watch has not left my son's pockets since Christmas Day. He is thrilled with it! I rated the watch at 4 stars simply because we have had it such a short time. If the watch continues to perform well and the finish holds up, I would definitely up the rating. This was also my first time ordering from "the emporium" and I was very pleased with the service and quality of all the items I ordered.

This vest was exactly what I was looking for: gray in color, wool tweed in fabric, and stylish in design. First, the neutral color allows for a variety of outfits. Second, the vest is lightweight, so it can easily be worn underneath a suit coat, or by itself when the weather is not so cold. Third, although fashionable, the vest is also appropriate for everyday use in business attire. In addition, the delivery was quick, even though it was ordered during the busiest time of the year. This is yet another purchase from the Historical Emporium that has pleased me well.

This purchase was made to replace my brown derby, which I have worn for over eight years. I ordered this hat gray in color to supplement both my winter and spring/autumn coats. Based on the sizing options, I knew that the hat would be slightly larger than needed. This was a quick "fix", however, with some double-sided tape inside the inner flap (and thus out of view) to provide the correct dimension. As stated by others, the hat is stiffer than other derbys, which I believe will make it more durable. I am pleased very much with this topper!

This tie is of great quality and beautifully made. Purchased it as a Christmas gift for my son and he loved it. It went very well with the Black Baker City vest I also purchased. The picture of this product does not bring out the deep rich color of the material. High recommend this item.

I expected this vest to be made from a little heavier material. Also, it is shorter than I had expected. I purchased this for a 6'0" man, medium build and the vest stop just below his naval. I would have loved for it to come to the top of his pants, as shown in the picture. The design on the vest is absolutely beautiful. With the exception of the length and weight of the fabric, overall, I really liked this vest.

New Christmas family tradition has started as a result of the red river trail vests. I bought three red vests for my husband and two older sons as we ventured East for the holidays. Instead of sporting the traditional red sweater vests that many of my brothers donned, our family made a western style statement wearing the vests with white collered shirts and black pant. My husband and sons looked fabulous and my husband, who initially said, "I'm wearing this for you" told me at the end of the night that he really liked it and looked forward to wearing it again. He said the vest "grew on him" as the evening went on style compliments kept coming his way. I only wish that there was a youth size for my 11 year old son. The vest arrived in a very timely manner ready to wear. We had them sent to NY and unwrapped them minutes before we left for Christmas mass. They still look pressed after suitcase travel back to Colorado.

I was a bit skeptical about this blouse... wasn't sure it would add the look I wanted. However, I was surprised (in a good way). the lacing allows you to adjust it, so if there is a significant difference between your bust and your waist, this lovely little blouse can accommodate that. It looked lovely with the skirt and was the perfect accent under my corseted, leather jacket. Well made, it holds up well to hours of wear. I will definitely order more clothes from this shop.

I have purchased several vests for my husband, usually dress vests. I wanted to find something different in a vest and ran across this website... I was amazed at all the different vests. I ordered this green vest and 3 others. Exceedingly surprised does not begin to express how I felt when I opened the shipping box. All 4 vests are extremely beautiful and well made. We will be ordering again.

The service was amazingly fast. Unfortunately, my first purchase is not true to size based on your chart, and it has made me reluctant to order anything else. I am interested in several more garments, but at the moment I am not inclined to take the chance. The Evangeline blouse is lovely and just as pictured, but its actual dimensions (with laces loose and blouse laid flat) are 3-4 inches smaller than the numbers given in your size chart.. A blouse I bought from Van Heusen the same week, same size and measurements given, fits perfectly. Returning a $49.95 blouse for which I paid $7.95 shipping and presumably would have to pay again to return, is more trouble than it is worth. I have a beautiful blouse in my closet I can't wear, so I would say my first experience with The Emporium was not good.
