I purchased this to wear for my wedding and I'm tickled pink with it! I'm making a few subtle changes just based on the colors, but the necklace itself is LOVELY as it is! I love the details, including the subtle butterfly, and the perfect mix of feminine and industrial! I've been THRILLED with the Emporium so far!!

These were packaged well and arrived un-damaged. The zipper functions smoothly. My size 8 to 9 men's feet fit the small, quite well. I have been wearing them to work as a front desk attendant at an Inn. They are holding up well. This emporium sells quality stuff! There is no reason to go elsewhere!

I absolutely love these boots! They are extremely well made, and fit great. They are my favorite shoes, and I look forward to owning a few more pairs of them soon. I get compliments on these every time I wear them.

Always on the lookout for a good motorcycle boot. These work great. I modified them with a stiffer patch on the shifter toe. Very flexible and comfortable.

I could not find a more rugged useable pair of pants. Heavy weight but has a more refined look that a plain denim or sail cloth does not have. I use these for motorcycle riding. The taller cut of the waist line is just the thing to keep the draft out and the length can be sewn to fit more appropriately the seated position while on a sport bike.

Perfect fit with use of sizing chart on website. High quality, very happy with purchase!!

I have a lot of very nice, brand name shirts, so I know quality. This is well made and fairly priced for the material and craftsmanship. It's not as high a grade cotton weave as I had expected...kind of heavy in fact. The sewing is well done and measurements are accurate. Note that it is not a "fitting" shirt at all. It is very baggy around the middle. As for style features, it misses the mark in the most important area, the collar. Other reviews mentioned that it seems a bit short, but I couldn't find any alternatives elsewhere so I gave this one a try. It just doesn't come off as the gentleman's collar that you see in the authentic photographs.Not quite tall enough. I'm not a historian or seamstress, so I can't say for sure. It's just my opinion.

Although it is a neat item, The compass needle won,t stay on top of it's post. Falls off to the side. Neat thing, good price but quality control could be better. Editor's Note: A replacement compass was sent. We apologize for the inconvenience.

My measurements are 34-28-39, and I still found the medium to be a bit snug in the shoulder/armpit. I'm still able to wear a puff-sleeve blouse underneath (the Abbington blouse) pretty comfortably, though. The large would have been much too big. Otherwise the coat is beautiful and I'm quite happy with it.

My waist is 28 inches and hips are 39 inches. I ordered a large based off the sizing chart, and it fits quite well (if between sizes, I would order the larger size. It is very snug through the hips). I love the look of the skirt. My only complaint is how easily it wrinkles. It needed a good bit of ironing when I received it.

The only complaints are that there are some loose threads at the button holes that can snag when you're trying to remove the vest. Though a quick use of a good pair of scissors seems to have gotten all of them. Also, note, that the fabric is quite a bit thicker than I would have imagined, so do keep that in mind if you live in a warm area (as I do) and/or wear tighter suits.

Purchased 3 of these for my groomsmen, they look killer. Love the pre-tied feature, some of my friends can hardly tie their own shoes, that's why they wear boots. excellent shipping!

I found the items to be very nice, and I gave one of them away as a gift and my son thought it was great, he had looked at a full size one once and he wanted it so bad but the cost was out of this world. I guess this will hold him over until he can afford to purchase a real one .

This vest goes perfectly with the victorian Cutaway Coat in charcoal. The paisley pattern and slight sheen are a nice compliment to the coat. The adjustable back helps create the perfect fit.

This coat is elegant and stunning. The fabric is high quality and the coat is extremely well made. The charcoal color is very rich and goes well with black or light gray. Well worth the money for a great product, particularly for men's clothing.

This coat is very elegant and looks stunning. Extremely well tailored with high quality fabric. The charcoal color is very dark and rich and looks wonderful with black or light gray. This coat is well worth the price, particularly for men's clothing.

I wear this and two other colors of the same vest to work every day over an oxford shirt. It holds my keys, cell phone and a handkerchief. Comfortable, of substantial material, and with classy and sturdy buttons. Well worth the price. Look forward to many years out of these vests.

It is a wonderful genuine leather cap which i bought for my husband for motorcycle riding. He just loved it. Its very practical and looks great.I'm buying one for myself ! The only thing was that the buckle inserts had galvanic corrosion on them. It came off but i would I was disappointed because it will come back unless I completely change them which would be difficult. I would recommend this product.

beautifully hand crafted fan. Elegant details and delicate lace makes its a great addition to any lady's wardrobe. It fans out wide as to provide an adequate amount of airflow for cooling. I would highly recommend to others.

I loved the design and the fact that i can see the gears working. Everything works great except I received it with the back glass/plastic cracked. I exchanged it for another one. Great customer service by the way. Very friendly and quick to reply. When i received the other one however the front glass was spinning which it is not supposed to. It looked like it was not made with the highest quality standards that i expected but it was worth the price. Had i paid more for the watch I would have not accepted it with the spinning front glass but I kept it because it wasn't a major defect. I advise you to examine your watch carefully as to inspect it of any defects/ malfunctions. I would recommend this item.

The pants look great, information said to order size larger than you normally wear, I usually wear waist of 32 so I ordered 34's. I also ordered a pair of westport stripe trousers in a 34 size waist. The railhead pants, size 34, I could not even come close to get to button up, too small. The westport stripe pants, size 34, fit great.

The parasol looks great, however I used it for a school play and due to the use.. it didn't last as long as I would have liked. Bottom line it looks great and would be great in an activity where it is treated lightly and careful.. not a play where it's opened and closed many times.

I am a bigger man. All of your items are for regular or thin people. I took a chance on your spectacles and lost. My fault. I am out the cost. I don't believe in returning items when it is my fault. So once I find a place that I don't have to worry about things like that, that 3, now becomes a 1 and you are out.

Awesome, awesome, awesome!! This is my third time ordering from Historical Emporium and I am a satisfied customer. They first purchase was for my boyfriend. I ordered him a vest, it came within just a few quick days! but sadly it was a bit too big, so we exchanged it for a smaller size and Historical Emporium was very helpful, polite and fast about the entire thing. Next I ordered my stunning coat. Every time I wear it out on the town I get SO many compliments! it is so unique and beautiful and intricate! and again it came very fast. I have recently ordered a skirt and it is no exception! sexy, stylish, beautifully crafted and it arrived in no time, I am a very happy customer.

I asked you to draw a picture of an angry spider on the box; you pasted a picture of a spider with Charles Bronson's head on it instead. I am totally okay with this. The day I got that box was one of the happiest days of my life.
