We received the Inverness Coat for my husband very quickly. The product truly exceeded our expectations as to quality and workmenship. Its fits him well and I have to say makes him look quite handsome. I see many years of great use and it will be a main part of his costume for Mega Con Orlando this March. Thanks again for such great service!

The quality of this piece is very high and we are sure it will serve many years. One small issue: we ordered a 3X based on chest size and recommendation of the site. However, 3X was really big, so we exchanged it for a 1X and it fit perfectly. So I think these coats must run a little large. The exchange process was an extremely easy one and we feel very well taken care of as customers. Thank you!

The illuminated loupe is a great attention getter and conversation piece. It is a bit distracting to wear for any length of time (imagine walking around with one eye closed). I also found that the metal band tends to slip off the back of my head. Great item if you have a need for an illuminated loupe, but an awkward piece to wear around at a party.

I was very dissappointed in the quality of the leather. It was very stiff and very dry. The price was great but for me the quality was not very good.

I bought this vest in a size small as a present for a gentleman friend, and neither of us have any complaints. The vest is incredibly high quality and fits very nicely. The colour is gorgeous, the garment is well-made, and he gets complimented on it whenever he wears it. It also shipped very quickly and I received it within a week. The Historical Emporium provides excellent service, and I will definitely be buying from them again. Thank you so much! :]

The Gold Shield Premium Mechanical Pocket Watch (3556) arrived in good condition, very nicely packaged. The watch itself looks nicer in real life than pictured on the internet. The spring-loaded mechanism that opens the face side of the watch works flawlessly and reveals a striking skeletonized watch with sweep second hand. So far I have been unable to figure out the trick to opening the rear plate on the watch and the brief instructions that came with the watch do not provide much help (hence the 4 star rating instead of 5). The watch keeps excellent time so I won't be sending it back due to the inability to open the rear cover. Why press my luck? I got a watch at a fair price that looks good, opens to reveal the watch face and tells me the time. I'm happy. Thank you Historical Emporium. Editor's Note: The back is opened by pressing the watch stem down twice.

I've got to admit, I was a little nervous when I ordered this gun belt and holster, but the price of it made it worth the risk. I got the unit in just a matter of a few days, and couldn't be more satisfied. I had to order one that was too large (my size was sold out at the time) and have it altered at a local leather shop, but the quality of product is unmistakable. I take my Ruger .44 mag with 6-1/2" barrel (which fits perfectly into the holster) out with me daily while pasturing sheep, and it's not only tough enough to take bouncing around, it's incredibly comfortable to carry that heavy gun around. The leg tie and hammer tie down look easily replacable, so if they ever break, it'll be a snap to repair. I love how easy the gun is to draw from the holster, yet is held in there snug, secure and safe from damage. The old holster I had that went on my pants belt was always in the way, and I had to work the gun out of it. Great holster, Guys. Thanks for being there.

This is a pretty cool belt! Great antique style, but it can pass as a cool 'breaking the molds' day to day belt, at least for students. (Probably not businessmen and women) There's not too much room though, it's big enough for a phone, maybe a men's Wallet, notecards, but nothing really wide at all. I use it for cool costume parties, and actually also for hiking! I take my pipe in my pocket and can fit some tools & tobacco pouch in it. And my iPhone too.

I am very satisfied with the service that I have recieved. The transaction was very simple. I'm not going to lie I was a little skeptic about the vest measurements, but the vest fits so nicely. (Don't cheat on your measurements!) The shipping was awesome! I ordered the vest two days before Christmas and I recieved it within 5-7 days. I have nothing but positive feedback and I look forward to my next purchase from this site!

Awesome- fabric is substantial without being heavy, and has a nice 'sueded' feel to it. Sizing was accurate. I love having this staple in my closet!

Beautiful blouse; my husband loves it! I ordered a medium which fit nicely; although I did have to sew in a snap between the buttons across my bust which did not affect the line of the garment at all, thanks to the well-made placket.
