Really loved this piece. only problem is that the choker part is too long.

It is a Scala Classic by Dorfman Pacific. A really well constructed boater for the price and accurate to sizing. The straw is sturdier than I had expected, roughly 3/16" thick at the brim, so little worry about damaging it or undue flex at the brim when you handle it. If treated with care and stored when not in use, I can easily see this hat lasting for years. I did find one stray thread that needed a snip, but otherwise, I'm fully satisfied.

Thanks for providing a long lost item of male clothing. It was difficult to locate a separate vest to wear with sport coats and jackets. They are a practical solution to my needs. I lived in Gettysburg for many years, and saw my share of Re-inactors. We had one nice period clothing shop, but its offerings were limited. There are so many different styles and fabrics, I can't complain any longer.

As someone who is fascinated by the inner workings of a clock, I consider this the best sort of "skeleton watch" in existence. The clear covering is a strong plastic that is quite thick and won't chip like glass. It's very scratch-resistant. My only advice is not to drop it. The back hemisphere may come off and since the back workings of the clock are pretty much flush with the edge, it may get debris in it quite easily. Also a plus: no batteries because it winds by hand. I fidget with it a lot so it's never unwound, but definitely allows for a more delicate look To the inside.

My only complaint being that the knife was very full, it is a magnificent piece of work that I am very proud to own. The design is exquisite and the knife itself is lightweight, but not cheap.

My husband and I have a small country and western band. These shirts certainly make us look the part. They are extremely comfortable, and easy to wash and iron. Thankyou for helping us look smart.

Lovely blouse. Rated 4 stars instead of 5 because I wish it were in a nicer cotton fabric. This was a looser weave than another I have. I appreciate the nice return policy because I had to get a larger size. Great site.

The parasol is beautiful and well made. It went with my 1915 dress and provided shade from the sun.it could also be used at a bridal shower.Maggie Mae

This top hat was exactly what I was looking for and it is of excellent quality. I am looking forward to wearing it to the theater.

This was my first order from Historical Emporium and I was pleased by the entire experience. The vest arrived quickly. The quality was excellent and the fit was perfect. Will order from Historical Emporium again.

Wow nice heavy fabric good for every day use

I really like the color and cut of this dress, but....I do have one small issue. The lining under the Lace part is really short. So I think I will wear a lace slip that will extend the hem just a little. I don't want the bum showing.

This was my first purchase from the site, and I emailed customer service with a question. I'm happy to say that I received a quick reply, and that everything was fine with my order - very happy with my purchase, and the good response from customer service! I will order again, and recommend to friends-

Bought these for use with the Highland pants, which they hold up admirably well. Easy to adjust.

This is a must-have if you are purchasing one of the Highland coats. Flattering cut, high historical accuracy.

I found the sleeve length on the Victorian mens' shirts to be slightly long, but these nicely solve that issue and look classy to boot.

This was delivered on time, and was packaged well. The blouse itself is absolutely beautiful - it's exactly what I have been looking for! It will go very well with many outfits, Victorian style or latest style. The price was VERY reasonable, I have seen quite a few blouses that were of much lessor quality selling for upwards of $100. I will most certainly be ordering again, and will recommend to friends.

Great quality, very flattering cut, high historical accuracy. I purchased this for an impression of a distinguished late 19th century naturalist and was able to very closely match surviving photographs of the scientist in question.

Very handsome shirt, works great with the Highland outfit. Sleeve length seems slightly longer than I'm used to in a modern cut: sleeve garters solve that issue. My only negative: I was surprised that the cuffs don't accommodate cufflinks.

Impeccable customer service, high level of product knowledge, clear information on which clothing matches specific historical periods, on-time arrival of the shipment, and high quality clothing. I'm very impressed. Definitely consider calling the Historical Emporium team on the phone to discuss your order; they ended up pointing me toward something that I hadn't found on the website, but which fit my requirements perfectly.

Good quality, matches the rest of the Highland set perfectly. Be sure to buy a size up from your normal waistline, as the pants sit at a higher waist position than do modern pants. You'll definitely want a set of braces to hold them up. Be sure to order in enough time to get them hemmed to your proper length. I found the seat to be just slightly tight, but not so much that the pants are uncomfortable. This may be a feature of the garment?

Well the reason I purchased the gun belt from the Historical Emporium is because the gun belt look professionally made and looked great and it was not to expensive to buy, and the 45 gun belt met my expectations and the fit was spot on and it looked great on me as well, and the service was really great and when I would asked questions they answer right away to my Email and I didn't have to wait all day to get a answer and to me they gave me great service, and I would for sure buy from the Historical Emporium again if I need more western wares and items and I would most definitely tell my friends to buy from the Historical Emporium.

Very well-made, high-quality garment. Versatile steampunk costume piece, well worth the money. Glad I read an earlier review about sizing running large - I ordered a size smaller than I originally thought and it's a perfect fit.

The 45 gun belt that I ordered was really very well made, no problem with fit, It fit like it was made just for me, and there were no flaws on the holster at all, and it looked great on me in my western ware when I went to the western fair we had in town. Thanks you Historical Emporium for shush a great Gun Holster and I will tell my friends and others if they ask were I got it from. Thank-you and God bless!

The tailcoat arrived in a reasonable amount of time, and when I opened it, I found there to be very few wrinkles, and those that were there were easily removed by simply blasting them with steam from an iron. The coat fabric had a weave that could've been a little finer than it was, but for 200 dollars, I can't complain. There are better coats out there but you won't find them for this price. Construction seems rugged enough to where I am not concerned about scrapes, though I don't wanna get it wet at all. A good buy, definitely worth the price.

Very nice quality items and fast shipping.

Great quality and very quick shipping. Thanks from Historical Jonesboro's Stately Oaks Plantation.

This was a gift to my brother, replacing one I had purchased years ago from Brookstone. A new safari hat was badly needed and this one is perfect! Light weight, it's a great hat when riding a tractor in the fields.

The product was shipped immediately with tracking info supplied via email. Easy!

Beautiful shirt bought for wedding. I've spent many summers in the southwest in historic venues like Tombstone, AZ and Old Tucson, AZ where the west comes to life. This shirt makes you feel like you are stepping back in that time of Wyatt Earp or Billy the Kid. Fine product.

I am very pleased with the walking skirt and blouse I ordered from Historical Emporium. I will be playing Marilla Ricker in a historical setting at the Woodman Institute's 'Night at the Museum' on Labor Day Weekend in Dover NH. And a good costume helps people enjoy the show!!!

I wanted this hat because I live in the tropics and have had two skin cancers. I will be returning soon, so need a good hat. Baseball caps just don't do it - they are getting old hat (excuse the pun!). And they do not shade the ears and neck. I love it - it is great! My friends are jealous! People ask me where I got it. Many people remark on it. The only question I have is about the cloth part of the band inside which adjusts the size. I guess to clean it you just have to sponge with soapy water and then try to rinse with clear water and leave to dry. A great hat - recommend it

After receiving my new hat purchased for my daughters wedding I was more than pleased. The hat is of a superior quality fits perfect and arrived persisly when promised. I would greatly recamend historical emporium to a anyone looking for good quality historical costuming.

I actually did not purchase this for myself, but for a friend as a birthday present. with-in 3 days of ordering this i received an ecstatic phone call "THIS IS THE MOST EXQUISITE HELMET EVER! THIS SHALL BE MY NEW ADVENTURING HAT!". I am very indebted to the emporium for providing such an exceptional pith helmet (which for me was hard to find), as well as a new piece of headgear for my friend for the next time we go big game hunting in the hot sun, traverse long forgotten mines, or bush-whack through the dense wilderness.

Customer service was stellar. Service person checked stock while I was on the phone to assure that the one in stock was there. Shipped the same day. Unfortunately the suit was too small. I had excellent service when I called to inquire about the return. Will order again from this company. First class all the way around.

These mock 19th-century lace-up boots are divine in every aspect. They are incredibly comfortable and they look spectacular! I was somewhat worried about ordering a pair of boots online, but the fit was perfect. I've never been more satisfied than I am with the stylish Stacy Adams Madison. Completely recommended...

Beautiful dress. Quality exceeded my expectations. I am bummed because it is too small in the bodice. Broken hatred because I love this dress.

The trousers came very fast and are just perfect. Great price!

Great petticoat, great price. Unbelievable quality. Could wear alone.

Very nice miniature piece! Totally happy with it.

Absolutely stunning trousers, great shape, great quality, great finish, love it

Arrived when promised. Package was intact and product protected for damage free shipping.

Item looks great and is made well. Buckle could be better quality.

I ordered two Old West Badge - Texas Ranger Stars which both arrived promptly and were as expected but for the pin on one badge was broken off the back due to a light misaligned weld. I'm sure this is a rarity so I'm giving a 5 star rating just the same. Star/Badges might have been a tad on the small side but the quality and size were as described.

I had a bad experience with another vendor. This holster is fantastic. My order was processed in a timely manner and the product is great.

I LOVE my new boots. They are true to size, and look just like the photo. I cannot say enough about how pleased I am with all Hisorical emporium's products, pricing, and shipping times here to Canada. I am very happy. ALL products that I have received from your establishment, have exceeded my expectations. I am getting married in 2 weeks at Heritage park, and have been able to order both of our entire wedding attires thru you. Thank you for letting me keep my vision!

A very nice vest. I bought it in summer so I have to wait until fall to wear it. It would have been a lot nicer if the collar went all the way around the neck. This should be indicated in the description. Should look nice with a jacket, though. Also, you say it's olive. Looks gray to me.

Fast shipping. nice product [gun belt] and excellent customer service!

I could wear these pants anywhere, look great fit perfect. Well Done!

Customer service here is prompt and efficient. I will be ordering from this site again.

The quality of the fabric is by no means cheap or flimsy. The coat is thick, high-quality, warm, and classy, and the craftsmanship is well worth the price. I am very satisfied!

Fits Great Classic Look, Well done!!

Product received exceeded my expectations, was was delivered in a timely manner. Great job!!!

Communicated status each step along the way.

The product arrived in a timely manner and the quality of the item exceeded my expectations.

I couldn't be happier with the quality of the product. The fabric holds a press without starch and the stitching is second to none. As good a shirt as any I've had made by a tailor. Historical Emporium's shipping is second to none. My order (which was a special order) arrived weeks before an Amazon order made on the same day -- all the way to Singapore.

Yet another wonderful item of clothing from Historical Emporium, this waistcoat (or vest) is stylish, comfortable and definitely draws compliments fro all my friends.

These are exactly as described. Nice, think lenses that fit easily into the screw ring goggles.

I recently ordered a pocketwatch, some goggles and replacement lenses. The order was processed with no difficulty, and dispatched quickly. When it arrived, it was in good condition, well packed and everything exactly as it should be. The website is excellent, with good searchability and decent cross-referencing. My oldest daughter would like to see more boots in the ladies' steampunk section, but otherwise a good collection of accessories and other 'bitz.' My favourite part about the website, though, is that when shopping, the descriptions and photos are accurate and do reflect the product. They are written well, and neither upsell or downsell an item, but describe it. This is a relief from websites that only have the briefest of descriptions, in particular due to it being online, where you cannot pick up and inspect the goods. I would totally shop from the Emporium again. In fact, I'm already planning some additional purchases.

These are perfect. The screw ring is a bit tricky at times to restart, I recommend twisting backwards (counterclockwise) until it catches and then screwing them down. Immediately replaced the lenses with the blue ones, more for preference than any issue with the lenses. Going for the Cygnaran look from Warmachine as a possible costume idea in the future. Otherwise, comfortable, fit nicely and are vented. They'll fog up a bit if you leave them on your forehead, but the vents take care of that once you put them on.

Great watch. Ordered it to go with my Navy Mess Kit, and it didn't disappoint. In fact, my wife opened the package when it arrived and had to show it off to the neighbours. Strong build, and the face closes securely. Being able to see the gearing is a plus, and it is fascinating to watch. I like the fact that it's wind-up, just for the 'old school' factor. Will definitely add this to some costuming ideas I have as well.

I am very pleased with my purchase, your 22 gun belt and hoster is a great accent to my old pistol. thanks! A very satisfied coustomer

Nice shirt, light weight, perfect for hot Florida weather.

Nice badge, though a little smaller that I had expected. Would have been better if it had been around two inches in diameter.

Well made and great looking.

Customer Service was very helpfull when I called to inquire on my order. When I accidentaly order the blouse twice my return request was given and my refund taken care of immediately. Thank you so much.

I was very pleased with the satin blouse I received. I wore it to a Victorian Tea and it was a big hit. Everyone wanted to know where I got it so of course I told them. It was a pleasure to find a company that was able to fill my needs.

I made an order from Norway since I found the store on the internet. My order could not be completed due to regulations about shipping replica guns to another country, in this case my country. This I was told in an e-mail shortly after making the order. I was therefor able to get the item otherwise, and in good time before the occasion of use. I`m very satisfied with both the internet page and likewise the company. The items I ordered were really nice. Thank you for some SPLENDED SEVICE.

We dance in Vintage clothing, and it looks great on my husband!

Fast delivery, and product was exactly as described. Perfect and versatile for nearly any occasion from the 1850s through the 1910s, the Livingston vest is sleek and durable. Loving all the pockets, too!

Absolutely love the holster. Fits perfect. Im so glad I found you website. Thank you, Brian

Wanted a period-styled coat for general wear on my craft-stall...and something which would cover my frock-coat and other finery. Well...the duster is a fuss-free, well-made and good-looking coat which ticks all my boxes. Affordable (UK import tax was a pain though...) and speedily delivered, I am looking forward to some inclement weather now! Many thanks, and now I am browsing your outstanding store for my next purchase. Would recommend you to anyone.
