I was frantically searching for a tailcoat for a convention I'm attending in April (for a reasonable price) and this was it! It arrived on time and the quality is amazing. I ordered a Large, based on other's reviews and I'm glad I did. It fits perfectly and I recommend ordering a size or two up from what you are for a perfect fitting.

Quality of this holster is superb. Sits nicely on the hip and is quite comfortable. My .45 fits perfectly. I really will enjoy this item.

You pay for it, but you really can't expect to get a well-made boot for too much less. Good rich leather and true-to-size.

these boots fit great. the padded insole made them very comfortable. They completed a costume I had already bought from the company. I wore them an entire weekend at an old west reenactment and stayed comfortable the whole time.

I just received my replacement Deluxe John Bull top hat (1st returned as it was too small) only to find out my 2nd is too large.....I must have an odd sized head. However, the product is absolutely beautiful and exactly what I want. I plan on obtaining some 1/8' thick felt and cutting it in a strip approximately 1" wide and placing it behind the sweatband to see if this will correct my dilemma, I'm reasonably certain it will. I'm looking forward to wearing it in Barbershop Harmony shows and when singing Carols during the Holidays. Thank you Historical Emporium for your incredible inventory of delightful "Old Fashioned" things. I'm pretty sure I'll be back for more.

A beautiful very good pair of quality made trousers that I have received many compliments on, especially the wah maker silver buttons, I can wear for formal or casual gatherings and a good fit, Had to send back for a size larger, and that is where the 5 star customer service shines, Good Communication and fast returns and credit received and I will buy many more in the future.

The coat is beautiful, well made and very good for the price. However, even after reading the reviews about how small the size was and emailing my measurements and getting a recommendation from the source about the size (2x (18), it is still to small to button. I am keeping it and will have to wear it with thin blouse and not buttoned but it is a hassle to send it back. I am 5'2" and weight 135 lbs, bust size 40. I wear sizes 12 or medium and large in clothing. I cannot believe that a 2x 18) was still too small. They need desparately to make this lovely coat in sizes that represent sizes that are like the standards we all are used to. To expect someone of my small statue to think an 2x (18) would be too small is beyond belief!

Not only did the 4 3/4 length barrel 45 fit like a charm but the craftsmanship & detail were above expectation, the ammo even fit very well in all of the 25 loops, would also work with 44 mag or 44 special, I tried them all, fit & function were worth the price.

I've worn the shirt twice since I got it & it has attracted positive attention with statements like "hey, that shirt looks like your great grandfathers shirt" or "what second hand store did you find that old antique it sure looks well kept", then I told them it was brand new & where I purchased it, they said they were going to check out the website.
