I recently attended a victorian Ball where my husband could not find an appropriate period tie for the event. Even bridal and men's furnishing stores were unable to provide me with anything of quality. This is a wonderful period looking piece that my husband will enjoy wearing to future events. In my phone search in this area the men's stores said they get questions for ascots frequently. I will be recommending your site for quality products and excellent service.

The gloves are beautiful and were a gift for my girlfriend. She loves them and are perfect because she actually uses them to cover an arm tattoo for work.

beautiful gloves which again works well for my girlfriend who uses them to cover her arm tattoos for but now with some class.

fantastic gloves that my girlfriend loves but at the seam where it meets at the bottom of her wrist was a little bit split. I just had to stitch back together with a little bit of needle and thread. Other than that they are great.

An awesome holster. Just exactly as you see. Finely made and not over the top. Perfect. It hangs well on my hips. A great purchase.

I was happy to find tall sizes available in some vests. This red vest really snapped up my period Christmas attire. It was especially striking with the green puff tie. Both garnered compliments. Thanks for thinking of us tall men.

Please note that the vest in the picture is white, not the sand color being sold. We had a bit of a draw on this one. My husband had requested the white one, but when the sand one arrived, he liked it enough to want to keep it in spite of the misunderstanding.

I was so excited to get this on, I put it on over a t-shirt on Christmas morning in front of the in-laws and had my husband cinch me xD One note - the photo makes it appear that there's more than one shade of green on this corset. It's actually all the same olive color all around. Beautifully made.

I bought this based on a review that the color was more brown than orange as it is in the photo... by a stroke of luck, it matched my skirt dead on. And I got tons of compliments on it!

Loved the shirt. Very comfortable and stylist. The neck was a little large at first but after the first washing it fit fine. Always nice to change styles and the Gentleman's Emporium has the style I want. I will be buying more soon. Great shirt

This is the second vest I purchased, and just like the first vest, it looks the same as it does on the web site. The color, pattern, and texture of the vest is outstanding. I like the double breasted variety and will be purchasing more in the future.

So I had the choice of purchasing an ordinary shirt made in China for $49 or pay a bit more for something that is "Made in the USA". I am so glad I did! The buttons, cloth and stitching are all first class. I just wish they made my everyday shirts this well, as this shirt could last forever. Fits exactly as described.

There were only two main problems with these gloves. First off, the fingers were way too short. That may be OK for you, as my fingers are very long. The second problem is that the color of the gloves is way too close to that of a human skin tone. The color in the picture is far from the same. I put them on and turned around to show my wife,"Gross! They look like you had those made from another person's skin!" The leather is also shiny like pleather. I may have got a pair from a bad batch, at least I hope I did.

For the price, these cannot be beat. Very adjustable and if they are too big, it's not any harder to modify than putting an extra hole in a leather belt. They look great and the leather is high quality with a beautiful chocolate brown color.

I'm very happy with these pants, having gotten really tired with wearing jeans all the time. I'm also really sick of khakis. That all said, these are really good casual pants and, most importantly, they don't have the high waist of the "historic" pants, so you can look young and hip and not like an old man with his pants pulled up too high.

I shop online quite often, and I must highly commend Historical Emporium for their prompt, courteous, and efficient service, Also, as I am very well known for my sartorial flair; I am extremely pleased with the product. I have and will continue to recommend Historical Emporium as the "place" to go to for "Authentic Products and Old Fashion Service" ! Thank You!

I really dig this shirt--it is comfortable, well fitting, and super-classy-cool. The customer service department was quick, courteous, and knowledgable about the product when I called about obtaining a proper fit. I rate the shirt four stars instead of five because I prefer thicker material. The shirt is pretty thin but that is just a minor critcism. Overall, I am satisfied and pleased with the purchase. It's great that clothes like this are still available thanks to Historical Emporium.

Well I love the glasses a lot. They really add to the look I was going for, they are a great piece. However I must say, they have a very long frame and do not sit well on my head, they are front heavy. They don't fall off, but I would not look too far down in front of you while wearing them.

The service was great...the site is great too... I was so excited to get this vest and buy more from you guys and I have suggested your site to many people in the bar industry...But the vest I bought and received is cheaply made and not fitted at all...It looks like crap...I am going to have to pay to have it altered or just give it away... I bought a Large size....I am at least that and often have to buy xl to fit my chest and shoulders...that is why I thought it strange that this vest was so gaping and 1 dimensional...It must be made for fat people. It looks horrible...it's supposed to look sharp...The Wild Wild West sharp Not happy and very disappointed. I wont buy anything else from you guys or suggest that anyone else does either...I wish it was different. Thanks for asking, though Todd Appel

AZ, United States
2013-01-18
Purchased a Medium. My usual size is 38-40. shirt is great but still a bit large for a 38 size. too wide especially in the waist area. Don't know if size Small would be any slimmer in the waist since this is most likely a traditional 'period' style shirt (wider and voluminous). Happy with the Medium size. Great fabric and style. Comfortable. Consider it a good buy.

AZ, United States
2013-01-18
Excellent quality, fabric, finishes... very comfortable and well fitted 'fit'/design. Come unhemmed on the bottom so you can adjust to your particular length. Got my reg size 32 and it is a perfect fit. Waiting for Historical Emporium to get more of these in BLACK and CAMEL colors!

The only thing I have found that I don't like about the is I wish it was four inches longer because if I tie it the way that it show to tie it the ends can't be tucked in to my vest because they are to short.

The boots are fantastic. VERY comfortable. *Suggestion. Although their comfort is fantastic, the lacing in the back is very difficult. The loops in the back are hard to lace. I suggest that for a couple dollars more (Walmart price), you ad a small Crochet Hook to the purchase of the boots.

Very nice, nice finishes on the cuffs and jabot. This is not a crisp cotton shirt, it's very soft and slightly heavier than a reg cotton shirt. It's super wide, very oversized. Purchase a size Medium for my 38-40 frame per sizing chart, but the shirt is very oversized. Don't know if Small would have been smaller. Kept the medium and happy with it. But expect an oversized, voluminuous fit.

I was very happy to have found such a nice shirt in my size...2XL tall isn't easy to find!

AZ, United States

purchased a Medium per sizing chart for my 38-40 frame. Great fit, comfortable. Good sleeve length, not too long. cool metal buttons. stand up collar great with all the regency cravats and ascots! The fit is really nice, NOT as wide as some of the other shirts here, fits a bit slimmer than other shirts around the waist so you don't have so much shirt to tuck in (but it's NOT fitted, still loose enough for comfort). Very satisfied.

Excellent gentlemanly attire. Purchased a size Small for a snug, fitted fit and IT FITS PERFECTLY & comfortably (my frame 38-40 chest, 32 waist). Gorgeous finishes and silk fabric, excellent brocade pattern. Perfect length (short, appropriate enough for a cut off tailcoat).

When the cane arrived, I was very excited and immediately un-boxed it. I marveled at the heft and general feel of it and gave it a few tests. I was in love with it. However, there are a few small things that made the love bittersweet. For starters, the gem wasn't set perfectly into the cane. I know that it must be difficult to get it dead center every time, but being slightly OCD, this bothered me. On top of this, the gem had a few scratches in it along with marks from when it was shaped. All in all, a fantastic product. The flaws are easily overlooked, and the person I gifted it to was incredibly happy to receive it.

The materials and manufacturing of the victorian top hat are of very high quality,,,pricing and service were top-rate! looked locally for this type of hat and was told by shop that if one could be procured it would be 3-4 weeks to ship it in,,I then found Historical Emporium on internet search,,They had the right product at the right price,and shipping was in DAYS not weeks,I recieved the hat in excellent condition,just in time for my daughter's birthday she LOVED the hat and daddy was a hero....THANK YOU HISTORICAL EMPORIUM!!

The order shipped quickly and arrived quickly. The product was as described in proper packaging. The nice element (although expected) was the matching pocket square. It's a great deal. My only gripe is the material, polyester in lieu of silk. But at the advertised price, that would be difficult. Cheers.

Recently purchased a western gun belt for my Colt 45. Price was fair and shipping was prompt. The quality of the belt is excellent for the price and fits well. However, I wish there was more bullit loops (only has 18) and the belt is a little difficult to strap on due to it's stiffness. Hopefully in time the leather will become more supple and easier to buckle up. Great product and would not hisitate to buy another.

Extremely nice vest! Seems to be well made and fits just right. I have been working on a public access horror host program and this vest fit the bill, but I almost hate to put on my ghoul makeup on! Now I just have to get a few more things from here to make my outfit more complete, so I don't have to shoot my segments from the waist up! However, this will also come in handy for my town's Old Fashion Days events.

This victorian suit is beautiful, I love the fit and the way it is made. It falls nice on the body and is very comfortable. I will say that the only thing I didn't like about the suit is that the inside of the sleeve is not lined and it looks very cheap when you raise your arm, you can see all the stitching and the reverse side of the fabric.

This shirt fit very nicely indeed. I had ordered the 2XL shirt, since I have long arms and wide shoulders. Ordered the 2XL collars but surprisingly found those to be too large. The XL collars I ordered subsequently fit my neck well, and seemed to fit the shirt collar better too. Yes, the collars need to be starched for that sharp period look. This was my first order from the Historical Emporium, but I will definitely be back to order more.

These trousers are fantastic quality. They are very soft and comfortable feeling. My issue is that I am a slender man. I ordered the smallest size, and I still have to get them taken in at the waist and hips. In fact the hips are so wide, it looks like these were made for a curvy girl. If you are skinny, expect to have them tailored.

Very good quality product for the money, compared to other more expensive gunbelts. Only complaint is the black dye getting on one's hands. But I expected this, owning other black- dyed leather products. I have a Uberti Remington 1873 outlaw 7.5 inch barrel, .45cal LC;and it fits like a glove in the holster.

But I have had other black-dyed clothes products/accessories do the same thing. I have a Uberti 1875 Colt .45 cal LC Frontier Model, with a 5.5 inch barrel, and it fits like a glove in the holster.

This is the 4th vest that I have purchased and I love them all. The quality of the vest is great, the fit is wonderful, and the look is perfect. I wear my vest as everyday clothing to work almost every week along with wearing them when I do my blacksmith demonstrations. They look great when you are looking for that 1800 to early 1900's outfit or with jeans for a day at work.

Love this boot! Fit was very comfortable and not tight like I expected. First wore them to church for a couple of hours and they were so comfortable I wore them to work all day and they were fine. Can't say that about most new shoes. Now I need them in other colors.

Nice trousers, heavy material and solid construction. Ample length to work with for hemming purposes. Because of the high waist band, which are well beyond modern pants, you may want to order a size larger if you have any paunch in your mid section, otherwise it will fold over on you.

This aviator cap is the real deal. I love the aged leather feel and how well it is made. It completes the look of me on my old school motorcycle. A couple buddies wanted to know where I found it. Historical Emporium is the place!

Such an adorable accessory ! Much more purse than I had expected for the price ! I would highly recommend this item. Very well made and I am sure it will adorn my Civil War costume in high style ! A must have in my opinion.

I commend your staff in getting this Slouch hat to me before my self-imposed deadline. Even though I ordered the incorrect size, I was able to return my mistake and your staff got the correct size to me before I had to leave town. From the persons I spoke with on the phone to the person that put the mailing label on the package, Well Done! Thank you for having such an efficient staff and providing a quality product. I know the first place to look when I have another similar need, and can tell all those looking for similar hats and historical items. In the words of my Grandpappy Albert, "Ya' Done Good."

A sweet little "extra" to add to my costume . I was so happy to see that it is very very well constructed. I am sure I will get actual use out of this fan as well. Not just a "prop" but an actual fan ! Awesome price and fine workmanship. Who could ask for more ?!?

Giving this four stars because while the corset itself is very well made and pretty, the cheap satin craft ribbon it's laced with is absolutely useless and had to be replaced in order to properly lace it up tight.

Was so worried about the fit of this skirt being fitted. I followed the size/measurement chart and it fits better than I ever imagined. Nice heavy fabric. Seems very well made. I haven't actually worn it, just tried it on, but so far am very satisfied. Looking forward to wearing it!

I was totally surprised these are the REAL DEAL ! Very quality made indeed ! I have not worn them yet but I can see they will complement my costume perfectly ! This is my first order with Historical Emporium. And my first time participating in our towns "Living History Weekend". I would def. order again from them. Everything came in perfect time and more beautiful than I could have hoped for considering the very reasonable price. One of the most reasonable places on the net for sure ! Nice to find some place you don't have to sacrifice a great look for a cheaper price. ORDER ! ORDER ! ORDER ! You won't be disappointed I am sure. Just remember to get a half size bigger like the other girls stated.

It's a very pretty and well made blouse, but the sizing runs HUGE! I ordered the medium because I have a 36" bust, and it's practically a tent on me. The arms are also much too long, and as a 5'10" tall woman I've never had this happen. I decided to keep it, but because of the poor sizing I can't wear it until I fix it myself by shortening the sleeves and taking it in at the back. :(

I was very disappointed with this hoop skirt, and returned it. The material is a very cheap bright white nylon acetate (that sounded like camping tent fabric everytime it moved) with coarse tulle that sticks out funny, and the hoop in mine was bent from being crammed into a teeny tiny box for shipping.

Ordered on a Friday and got it Monday. Fast service. I like the holster, good value for the money. Fits my 1873 Colt Peacemaker perfectly. I will make other purchases from here in the future.

This came quickly, sized as promised, and of good quality. It's a wee bit long on me in the back (I choose "petite" sizing when I can get it) but no problem with heels, and the front adjusts from demure to daring with a well-constructed tunnel-ribbon ruching: easy to to and to un-do. It's just perfect as it is -- and would look great in other colors as well!

I am delighted with the boots! They looked so narrow when I took them out of the box, but then I put them on and they fit like a glove! Comfortable and supportive and I get lots of compliments because no one else has shoes like these! Haha! Thank you much, I'll be back! Lori

I recently purchased the Deluxe Felt Derby hat online. The order arrived expeditiously, the quality was outstanding! I ordered the wrong size, sent it back, and got the right sized derby back in less than a week! I love it, and will most certainly bring more business to you1 I have already received compliments on it and inquiries to where I got it. Thanks for the prompt delivery, outstanding quality and quick turn-around on my exchange! Sincerely, Kerry Friant

While I won't be wearing this item myself, due to failure of concept on my part, I still think it's a fantastic piece and perfect for any sort of revolutionary, whether they be French or Vox Populi.

Feels great, fits comfortably and if it wasn't in the dead of winter I'd wear it every day. Sometimes, I even wear it about the house.

The blue is darker in person, so underestimate the description when it says "navy blue". The fabric also shines green under yellow light. The pockets on mine weren't sewn shut, which was a great surprise (I hate unpicking). Fantastic vest though, looks great on camera and under regular light.

The tag on the inside of the garter is humongous compared to the garter itself, but isn't a bother. They do their job.

The shoelace is a little shorter than I'm used to, and, as was mentioned in other reviews, the slick leather outsole will require relearning to walk. I bought a size smaller than I do for my modern shoes and it fits great, and looks great.

I purchased this for myself, and wear it on a regular basis in an academic environment. The sizing is as advertised, and the pockets are nicely put together, perfect for a watch and matches. Also the shipping was very fast, and I generally have no complaints. I will shop here again.

This was purchased with the burgundy swirl skirt as a present for my mother, and she loves it. She reckons it to be a good blouse for church as well as work, and finds no fault with the construction. Very timely shipping.

This was purchased with the natural colored Abbington blouse as a gift for my mother. She wore it several days in a row, so it was well received. Timely shipping. Will buy from Historical Emporium again.

We got 4 of these vests for our wedding and we're happy with the quality. It's a nice silver color, not too shiny but obviously silver and not grey. The real pockets are nice as most vests have fake pockets. My fiance wanted to wear a pocket watch so this is a must. The sizes seem to run true to the size chart. And we were very happy in the range as we ordered from a medium to a 4x and one large-tall.

I have been searching for a frock coat since my enterprise of compiling a 19th-century styled wardrobe began, and though I had my eye on the Prince Albert variant also found on this site (The price is a bit outside my range), this remains a prodigious piece of clothing! Shipping was rapid and efficient, with no damage sustained during the transportation, and once arrived it instantly became the pinnacle of my sartorial collection. The length, if the size is appropriate, extends to approximately the knee, and the waist is comfortably fitting once buttoned. If being used to complete the Highland outfit the color is a more light black than the waistcoat or pants, but otherwise blends seemlessly and can be matched quite splendidly with other clothing. I have no qualms with it, the only note is, as a previous comment stated and thankfully I heeded, it is slightly smaller than what a standard coat sizes would amount to, so I recommend acquiring it two sizes larger (I'm a 34, a 36 fits perfectly). Otherwise, however, it is a fantastic piece of clothing and I whole-heartedly recommend it!

The fan was excellent. I purchase the Red Walking dress and Black feather Paracal and opened finger black gloves and anything matched perfectly. Everything was of the highest quailty. I would recommend to everyone. Will be using for a ball where I will b a lady from 1880's.
