The collar is great, unfortunately, it doesn't fit me, but this is my fault for not checking the sizing properly.

Arrived promptly in the UK, unfortunately, it didn't fit, but that's down to me not checking the sizes properly. No reflection on the service.

Nice fit, arrived promptly in the UK, they needed to be taken up a bit being very long in the leg , but that's not a problem. Thanks guys.

Overall, this is a nice cane. The only concern is the rubber tip which is quite visible and is not period accurate. Other than that, it does compliment the suit.

The jacket was great received it timely; however, I had to return it because it was too small for my daughter, I find the sizing runs a little small, unfortunately the larger size was not available. I would definitely order from this company again. Received great customer service when I contacted them about the return.

Quality of vest was nice. It was way to short. My husband could not wear it for my daughters wedding. Very disappointed.

This antique-looking brass pocket compass is the perfect accessory for any adventure-minded costume. The compass works! I sort of wished it came on a gold-colored chain (no chain or string was included), but that's okay. I'll improvise. :)

I bought this hat as a costume prop, but I like it so much that I think I'll actually wear while camping. The headband is adjustable which is nice because I can't find hats that adjust to my small head. This hat fits great and keeps plenty of air circulating between your head and the inside of the breathable hat. Good quality hat.

I absolutely appreciated the FAST service of the Historical Emporium. My order was received in just a few days. A big stress reliever when event deadlines are quickly approaching. I had a question about an out-of-stock item and even though I was told that particular item was not to be carried any longer, I REALLY appreciated the quick response, which enabled me to think about alternative items in time to meet my deadline. Quality clothing too. I was surprised!

Very nice blouse. I'm typically between a Medium and a Large. I ordered a Large to avoid any chance of the buttons pulling at the breast-line (my problem area). The Large is probably a bit larger than I needed, but nothing a good hot wash and a hot dry couldn't fix. Love the blouse. Great quality.
Dee
CA, United States
2013-10-15
I'm 5'8" and 145 lbs with a not so slender waistline. The size Large was perfect for me. Perfect waistline (which has a few adjustable buttons) and perfect length. No alterations for me. I love the look of the skirt and it moves well while you walk. Great quality.

This looking-glass charm necklace comes with a little black velvet-looking pouch. As a prop for a costume, I think the antique silver looking glass is fine. For any other purpose outside of a costume, I think overall the necklace is a little cheap-looking. The metal casting could have been made a little better.

I have bought many items from the Historical Emporium (approx US$1800.00 worth of pants, shirts, coats, dusters, ties, fob watches, holsters etc) with 99% of the products either meeting or exceeding my expectations. I searched all over the net to find a good place to buy from that had a wide range of products, good prices and fair international shipping rates. You just can't beat HE!. The only thing I found a bit confusing while doing my research was that HE doesn't always list brand names and so I was unsure as to whether I was comparing the same product that I had found on other sites. Upon receiving my orders (3 in total) I found they were all packaged well and that they do indeed stock all the big names I had been looking at elsewhere (i.e. Wah-maker, Frontier Classics etc). Now, not everything went to plan. I ordered one pair of pants too big and one of the shirts had a manufacturing fault. Was this a drama? Absolutely not!...Ok, well a bit, but HE have the most friendly, polite and helpful staff you could hope to deal with. Don't expect something for nothing but instead expect a fair and reasonable outcome without having to jump through hoops. You can't ask for better than that and I would buy from them again in a heartbeat.

I was a bit concerned about ordering these pants, since I am not in great shape and wasn't sure of the size. Some of the info suggested ordering one size up, but I took a chance and ordered my regular pant size, 30 waist. They fit perfectly! they don't come up on my waist too high, just enough to look authentic. The fabric is a very nice lightweight wool, which will be great for my October wedding. Delivery was pretty fast, and I am really please with these pants. I am short, so they will be hemmed several inches, and I am planning to have a strap of some sort put at the ankles to hold them down in my tall boots. My fiancé loves them too.

Good, quality hat for the price. Would rate as a 5 except we had to return the first order as this hat runs smaller than the measurements in the sizing chart. The good news was that the return process was very easy, and the second purchase arrived within 2 days with standard shipping! Will definitely order again from this site in the future.

This was my first puff tie (silk, no less), and I love it. Absolutely gorgeous! The "how to tie a silk puff tie" instructions (link on the product page) were very helpful and the colors in the image matched the actual material perfectly. This was not my first product from HE, but as always, shipping was SUPER fast. These guys rock!

was a bit of a letdown. We purchased some khaki outfits earlier in the year, good stuff which in turn led to the smoking jacket purchase. Poor quality goods, just not a well made product for the amount of money spent. Sure this was keystoned....I don't think I could have done so myself. We more or less turned our nose up at it....we will use it, rent it out and get our money back eventually. Better luck next time.

Fun to wear--good quality. BUT very, very difficult to button close. The buttons are either too big or loops are too small. (I think the button are great size, so make the loops bigger.) Really surprised this didn't get noticed after the first one was made. At this point it is easier to keep it buttoned closed and put it on like a pull over. Most likely cost more to ship back than to put new buttons on it.

This is a versatile little ascot because of it's brown and black color scheme -- we are glad that it will work with several vests to complete the look for many outfits! Also, the fabric is wonderful and the knot is very easy to tie. Thanks!!!

These pants are GREAT! They look awesome, feel nice and are very comfortable. The fabric has a tiny bit of stretch that makes them wear very well. The only downside is they do not have any belt loops - I know they are historical in style, but I like to wear a belt to make sure my pants don't start to sag. These pants didn't sag the first time I wore them, so maybe the belt looks are unnecessary. Also, the stripes look AWESOME!

Really nice product. Would have given five stars except it is impossible to get the buttons through the buttonholes. A combination if a tight fit with very very high friction material on the buttons themselves. I changed the buttons and all is good!

Skirt fits well but I'm short (5 3 1/2") and short waisted, so the top of the skirt hits over my rib cage. Therefore I have to fold it down to wear it comfortably. Lucikly I have a bodice I can wear over it. Would be nice to have a similar skirt that I could wear with a shirt tucked in!

This Rosalind Suit is Beautiful! The sizing is right on if you follow the size chart and match up your measurements, bust being the most important for fit. The amethyst colour is gorgeous. The suit is very comfortable to wear as the fabric is stretch velvet. I wore mine to an historical event and received many compliments on it and was asked where I got it, of course I recommended Historical Emporium! Thank you for this beautiful, easy to wear suit! PS: Please make the same suit in a Teal blue and/or Fuschia Pink colour because I want another suit just like it! Christmas green would also be lovely!

This item's design is not what is dipicted on line. It is not two identical ends which are folded over each other. Instead, it's a wide ascot end that is inserted through a loop in the narrow other end. Therefore, it does not have the fullness in the neck front that I wanted and expected. But, it will do.

Using the size chart, the fit worked exactly with the size chart... do not go by what you normally purchase... USE THE SIZE CHART! I thought it would run a little shorter in the front, based onthe picture... but otherwise a great looking skirt. Thank you.

This Ascot is just what I wanted to dress up my blue blazer and gray or cream colored slacks (depending on season or climatic zone) on cruise ship formal nights. With all the airline baggage restrictions, it's getting more and more difficult bring my tux. The Ascot is a perfect way to kick the formality and class up a notch in an easy travel package.

My husband is extremely pleased with this shirt. It was originally bought for a costume but he's now planning to order at least one more for regular wear. The fabric is a very nice weight and quality and I am impressed with the construction and quality of the seams. The colour is a perfect deep burgundy.

Unfortunately, I never received this product. The post office contends that they delivered it at 3:27 p.m. Oct 3. However, no one in our business office received it. Since no one was required to sign for it, we can't verify. Our institution has had difficulty with our post office losing packages in the past, but since they say they delivered it/them, we don't seem to have any recourse. I spoke to your representative Adriana on Friday, Oct 11, and she was very helpful in getting me the tracking information. Thanks for any assistance you can give us. Best, Amy Simpson

I originally ordered some items, and wasn't happy with the fit and styles, but I was able to easily exchange them for other items using the return form and requesting a refund while also ordering new items as directed by the site. The original cost of the first set of items was refunded within a week or two after I sent them back, and even though I had to pay return shipping, everything went well. Historical Emporium communicated with me well and notified me they received the returned items.

I was informed the sleeves on the shirts offered through the site are long, which is the style. I am 6'0" and thin, so a size Small fit me perfectly, but there is plenty of torso width room if you are heavier than I am. The medium I received (another style from the same company), was very large in every way. The sleeve cuffs went passed my hands, and the torso was very wide.

I love this cane. I feel quite regal with it, but the rubber tips are ugly and it doesn't have a brass tip underneath. I can easily (and have) purchased such a tip to really bring it together, but it should be included. The metal collar also isn't quite perfectly aligned. Minor issues. Overall it is beautiful, it has a good weight and is balanced around 11 inches down from the top. Which gives it excellent balance, but I'm one that prefers a balance closer to the hand, no more than 6-8 inches. Beautiful product, I highly recommend.

These are a hard-to-come by item here in America, so I'm happy to find them at a reasonable price. However, with the Ludlow trousers I bought with them, the straps are way too long. Sure, there are buckles in the front, but that doesn't help that the back strap between the Y and the waist is two inches longer than any normal man-sized person. I'm 6'2" tall, it should fit me perfectly, if not be a little on the short side. I could shorten the buckles in the front and even punch more holes, but the Y would be up against my neck.

The Fulton rust color vest is a nice addition to my collection. I love the four pockets. My two pocket vests give me a place for my pocket watch and cell phone, but the extra pockets are a great addition. I bought this vest for the color. I honestly prefer the canvas work vest, but this color was not available. All in all, I am quite satisfied with my purchase, and will be a return customer.

I would, without reservation, encourage anyone that finds your product selection interesting to place their order with you. My first order was placed on a Friday and received the following Monday.

I'm always hesitant to buy brands I've never tried on. I have an odd shape with a smaller bust that doesn't fit with the rest of me. This blouse is flattering and oh so beautiful. The picture does not do it justice. The pearls, lace and material work together to create something so beautiful I find myself making up places I need to wear it to. So very happy with this purchase!

Beautiful shirt but it to had a dark spot on collar. I was able to get it out with OxiClean spot remover. Also had what looked like very small traces of what looked like tiny blood flecks around two buttons. That to came out. Your service is excellent and care regarding satisfaction outstanding. I think you might require your warehouse to more closely inspect items prior to shipping. Second shipment with dirt, or spots on items.

I love the skirt, but it comes up higher than I expected. I'm used to skirts & pants sitting a little above my hips. The top of the skirt is closer to my breasts than my hips, so it takes a little getting used to. It also has a longer train that drags in the back, which looks great!

I was very excited for these pants, and very nervous about the sizing. I know most people got theirs tailored on the reviews, but I think I still ordered too big (even though I used the guide as best as I could). They were still very big on me, I know the 30 would have been better. I ordered 32, and I never have needed that size before, but when I measured myself that was what came of it. It does have a little tightening strip to pull on the back, but that was still not near close enough. The quality of the pants is very good. They are well-made, and very durable feeling. Also note that they are very thick compared to casual pants. They feel like a thick wool. I would still recommend these pants, just be careful of sizing and definitely give yourself time for tailoring.

The material is a nice looking brocade, and not too shiny so it looks more expensive than it is. My only issue with the skirt is that it's really high-waisted, in itself not a problem, but after hosiery, maybe a slip/petticoat, and what ever top and or corset you are also wearing it's an unwanted extra layer right over your waist. The material and styling with the ruffles at the bottom really help make up for that though and I do recommend this skirt.

Could be better
These are a hard-to-come by item here in America, so I'm happy to find them at a reasonable price. However, with the Ludlow trousers I bought with them, the straps are way too long. Sure, there are buckles in the front, but that doesn't help that the back strap between the Y and the waist is two inches longer than any normal man-sized person. I'm 6'2" tall, it should fit me perfectly, if not be a little on the short side. I could shorten the buckles in the front and even punch more holes, but the Y would be up against my neck.

Excellent, but
I love this cane. I feel quite regal with it, but the rubber tips are ugly and it doesn't have a brass tip underneath. I can easily (and have) purchased such a tip to really bring it together, but it should be included. The metal collar also isn't quite perfectly aligned. Minor issues. Overall it is beautiful, it has a good weight and is balanced around 11 inches down from the top. Which gives it excellent balance, but I'm one that prefers a balance closer to the hand, no more than 6-8 inches. Beautiful product, I highly recommend.

Great Quality, but Sleeves Are Long
I was informed the sleeves on the shirts offered through the site are long, which is the style. I am 6'0" and thin, so a size Small fit me perfectly, but there is plenty of torso width room if you are heavier than I am. The medium I received (another style from the same company), was very large in every way. The sleeve cuffs went passed my hands, and the torso was very wide.

Easy Return Policy and Good Communication
I originally ordered some items, and wasn't happy with the fit and styles, but I was able to easily exchange them for other items using the return form and requesting a refund while also ordering new items as directed by the site. The original cost of the first set of items was refunded within a week or two after I sent them back, and even though I had to pay return shipping, everything went well. Historical Emporium communicated with me well and notified me they received the returned items.

OK but not perfect
This item's design is not what is dipicted on line. It is not two identical ends which are folded over each other. Instead, it's a wide ascot end that is inserted through a loop in the narrow other end. Therefore, it does not have the fullness in the neck front that I wanted and expected. But, it will do.

The suit is very comfortable to wear as the fabric is stretch velvet. I wore mine to an historical event and received many compliments on it and was asked where I got it, of course I recommended Historical Emporium! Thank you for this beautiful, easy to wear suit! PS: Please make the same suit in a Teal blue and/or Fuschia Pink colour because I want another suit just like it! Christmas green would also be lovely!

These pants are GREAT! They look awesome, feel nice and are very comfortable. The fabric has a tiny bit of stretch that makes them wear very well. The only downside is they do not have any belt loops - I know they are historical in style, but I like to wear a belt to make sure my pants don't start to sag. These pants didn't sag the first time I wore them, so maybe the belt looks are unnecessary. Also, the stripes look AWESOME!

Red Velvet Smoking Jacket
Fun to wear--good quality. BUT very, very difficult to button close. The buttons are either too big or loops are too small. (I think the button are great size, so make the loops bigger.) Really surprised this didn't get noticed after the first one was made. At this point it is easier to keep it buttoned closed and put it on like a pull over. Most likely cost more to ship back than to put new buttons on it.

was a bit of a letdown. We purchased some khaki outfits earlier in the year, good stuff which in turn led to the smoking jacket purchase. Poor quality goods, just not a well made product for the amount of money spent. Sure this was keystoned....I don't think I could have done so myself. We more or less turned our nose up at it....we will use it, rent it out and get our money back eventually. Better luck next time.

More than met my expections.
You need some non elastic sleeve garters to go with these as the ones you have don't seem right.

Hello, Absolutely perfect! The tie came when they said, not wrenckled etc. I received lots of compliments and could not have been happier! Thank you very much! Please send me a catalog - I will purchase from you again!

What I expected!
Good trousers. Button holes too small. Weird buckle on back needs online instructions.

Silverado vest
Not only is the vest well made and exactly what I wanted but more importantly the customer service is beyond reproach and second to none! I have been a customer in the past and in the future this is where my search starts. Five stars doesn't do them justice.

Absolutely everything I could have asked for, and then some! Snaps closed, and stays closed. Changing the time is simple and quick. I adore it, and wear it every day.

Nice!
This was my first puff tie (silk, no less), and I love it. Absolutely gorgeous! The "how to tie a silk puff tie" instructions (link on the product page) were very helpful and the colors in the image matched the actual material perfectly. This was not my first product from HE, but as always, shipping was SUPER fast. These guys rock!

Fancy!
I've bought this Ascot for a friend of mine due to his lack of neck accessorizes. This Ascot did not disappoint, it's definitely not low quality ware and people will throw stares at you for wearing it ;)

Quality product for the price
Good, quality hat for the price. Would rate as a 5 except we had to return the first order as this hat runs smaller than the measurements in the sizing chart. The good news was that the return process was very easy, and the second purchase arrived within 2 days with standard shipping! Will definitely order again from this site in the future.

Cool Pants!
I was a bit concerned about ordering these pants, since I am not in great shape and wasn't sure of the size. Some of the info suggested ordering one size up, but I took a chance and ordered my regular pant size, 30 waist. They fit perfectly! they don't come up on my waist too high, just enough to look authentic. The fabric is a very nice lightweight wool, which will be great for my October wedding. Delivery was pretty fast, and I am really please with these pants. I am short, so they will be hemmed several inches, and I am planning to have a strap of some sort put at the ankles to hold them down in my tall boots. My fiancé loves them too.

Very pleased with this shirt. Look great with the puff tie I also purchased and the rest of my husband's western steampunk outfit. The shipping was incredibly fast. I will definitely recommend Historical Emporium to my friends and family

Quality all round
I have bought many items from the Historical Emporium (approx US$1800.00 worth of pants, shirts, coats, dusters, ties, fob watches, holsters etc) with 99% of the products either meeting or exceeding my expectations. I searched all over the net to find a good place to buy from that had a wide range of products, good prices and fair international shipping rates. You just can't beat HE!. The only thing I found a bit confusing while doing my research was that HE doesn't always list brand names and so I was unsure as to whether I was comparing the same product that I had found on other sites. Upon receiving my orders (3 in total) I found they were all packaged well and that they do indeed stock all the big names I had been looking at elsewhere (i.e. Wah-maker, Frontier Classics etc). Now, not everything went to plan. I ordered one pair of pants too big and one of the shirts had a manufacturing fault. Was this a drama? Absolutely not!...Ok, well a bit, but HE have the most friendly, polite and helpful staff you could hope to deal with. Don't expect something for nothing but instead expect a fair and reasonable outcome without having to jump through hoops. You can't ask for better than that and I would buy from them again in a heartbeat.

Friends had recommended your company and I am a believer. I was pleased with the selections available and am happy with my purchases. And, I was very impressed with the quick delivery. I had my items in less than a week. I would definitely recommend to others.

The blouse is beautiful and a good fit. The sleeves were a little long, but then that may have been the style.

Taffeta Skirt
I love the color and with the adjustable waist, it was a good fit. The amethyst skirt did have a lot of body. I used previous reviews to decide on the color. My outfit was a hit at the dinner I attended.

A good prop!
This looking-glass charm necklace comes with a little black velvet-looking pouch. As a prop for a costume, I think the antique silver looking glass is fine. For any other purpose outside of a costume, I think overall the necklace is a little cheap-looking. The metal casting could have been made a little better.

Beautiful Skirt
I'm 5'8" and 145 lbs with a not so slender waistline. The size Large was perfect for me. Perfect waistline (which has a few adjustable buttons) and perfect length. No alterations for me. I love the look of the skirt and it moves well while you walk. Great quality.

Very nice blouse!
Very nice blouse. I'm typically between a Medium and a Large. I ordered a Large to avoid any chance of the buttons pulling at the breast-line (my problem area). The Large is probably a bit larger than I needed, but nothing a good hot wash and a hot dry couldn't fix. Love the blouse. Great quality.

Fast Shipping and Fast Feedback!
I absolutely appreciated the FAST service of the Historical Emporium. My order was received in just a few days. A big stress reliever when event deadlines are quickly approaching. I had a question about an out-of-stock item and even though I was told that particular item was not to be carried any longer, I REALLY appreciated the quick response, which enabled me to think about alternative items in time to meet my deadline. Quality clothing too. I was surprised!

Perfect Outdoor Hat
I bought this hat as a costume prop, but I like it so much that I think I'll actually wear while camping. The headband is adjustable which is nice because I can't find hats that adjust to my small head. This hat fits great and keeps plenty of air circulating between your head and the inside of the breathable hat. Good quality hat.

One of the Ten Essentials!
This antique-looking brass pocket compass is the perfect accessory for any adventure-minded costume. The compass works! I sort of wished it came on a gold-colored chain (no chain or string was included), but that's okay. I'll improvise. :)

The jacket was great received it timely; however, I had to return it because it was too small for my daughter, I find the sizing runs a little small, unfortunately the larger size was not available. I would definitely order from this company again. Received great customer service when I contacted them about the return.

Overall, this is a nice cane. The only concern is the rubber tip which is quite visible and is not period accurate. Other than that, it does compliment the suit.
