I would order again. Love the parasol, it worked great for the function I attended. One small thing, a cover to store the parasol would be great,

It matches the parasol I got from you. A bit difficult to fold back, possibly due to the amount of material. The tassel came off the end.

Excellent product with an old time feel. Nice to actually wind a watch again. Keeps excellent time. Great value and price.

The shiny finish on these boots tends to make them look 100 percent man made instead of a regular boot leather and the sole and toe box are quite hard making the feet sore even though they are the correct size. However, even considering these problems, I would still recommend them for the price.

I purchased this blouse along with the Wickfield skirt for a "Cowboy" Ball, and other western themed events and just love it! I receive a ton of complements everytime I wear them! The service from Historical Emporium is first rate, the turn around time on my order was great! I will be ordering more from them!

I purchased this skirt along with the Wickfield blouse. The skirt is beautiful, but the size chart seems to be a bit off, and an "XL" is the largest size available. I had to do a bit of "creative engineering" to get it to fit around the waist, but it is beautiful and I get a ton of complements when I wear it.

Fast, straight forward, as advertised. Unfortunately we had to return item as purchaser is big and very tall and item did not come down on waist far enough. Beautifully made and was very disappointed to have to return it. The return was quick and straight forward. No hassle service.

This skirt is very beautiful.! The price was right as well. Even though it did not come hemmed you can hem it as short as you want it. I really like the fabric. And they sent it right away. I will be purchasing a black one just like it very soon. Im happy with it. Customer service is great!. I will recommend the company. Thanks for your great service. Sincerely Janet.

I recently purchased this vest to complete an outfit (I already had the matching trousers). The look of the vest with the trousers is nothing short of awesome! The quality of the product is quite apparent and I look forward to years of enjoying this garment as a base for many more outfits!!!

I bought these for cowboy action shooting, but they are so comfortable I just can't take them off. My girlfriend will have so sew buttons on all my jeans so I can wear them all the time. The service was excellent as well. This was my first purchase but it certainly won't be my last. I have already recommended Historical Emporium to friends.

Historical Emporium's Customer Service is OUTSTANDING! I ordered four items they were shipped speedy quick and when they arrived looked great but I had a problem with the size of one item and two buttons fell of the vest. I called customer service and before you know it they shipped me two replacement items and a call tag via email to return the two defective items. This has to be one of the best online buying experiences I have ever had. As a reenactor I buy lots of period clothes. Paul W. First Sergeant Band of the 69th New York

I ordered this top hat for Phileas Fogg in "Around the World in 80 Days". Had not been able to find a well made, XL anywhere else. This came in very timely fashion and is beautifully constructed as well as perfectly sized. I will definitely count this as one of my "go to" sites in the future.

I liked the look, feel, and fit of this coat from the second I opened the box and put it on. It is very well put together and... I have fielded more unsolicited compliments from a diverse range of people on this coat than any piece of clothing I have ever put on. The pictures do not do it full justice.

The quality of the Telescope is excellent. Focusing is just a matter of sliding the larger cylinder in & out over the smaller one until you get a nice clear sharp image. My order was shipped next day and received within 3 days. I was very pleased with overall service.
