The goggles are great looking and I love them...mostly. Get some better straps for these puppies (the ones that came with are flimsy and undependable) and they will be the perfect accent for any steampunk adventure.

I love the brassy gears and wings on this pin. Looks great on my steampunk leather hat. However, the pin in the back is a bit flimsy. Should work great attaching to thinner materials. For me, it bent a little trying to puncture the thicker leather of my hat. Used an awl and all was well. A little sturdier pin shaft and locking mechanism would make this perfect.

I have several rigs, belts, holsters and this item was less than I expected from Historical Emporium. While some might say, "You get what you pay for", I got a sloppy fit and a stiff cardboard like holster, even though I specified the gun I was buying for. I will make due since it is not worth the trouble to ship back. I will not use in any open/public environment. The belt I ordered is covered under separate review and will end up costing more than I paid for better products in the past.

I have many belts and this is the worst purchase I've made in a long time. I received a stiff cardboard like item that I have had modified to use. I have 3-4 belts of the same size from others that fit while this one is at the shop being lengthened by 2 full notches. I bought a "service belt" that will have its notched end used to replace the one on the belt from HE. I'd rather make it of some use than send it back. I haven't tried to put shells in the loops, but wonder what it will be like when I pick it up today. This belt was one of two items I ordered for my Colt Navy .38 w/7.5" barrel and I just think it's size was stamped wrong.

Every time I wear this jacket I get complements from young and old; it is so unique. Sizing suggestion is correct. I usually wear large but the xl fits perfectly.

I found this store in the internet and I was impressed with the website and the organization of the various types of clothing. Then, I was impressed again at the clothing and all the choices. The website made making an informed and artistic choice very easy. I was anxious to get my package, but worried that I had not allowed enough time (I ordered 2 weeks prior to the event. Imagine my surprise when TWO DAYS later, the package was on my front porch! I tried everything on, and it fit as advertised. Everything looked good, felt good, and is of very good quality. I wore my out fit for the first time yesterday, for nearly seven hours, in 85 degree weather with no real breeze, and it felt great, even at the end of the day. I am impressed, and will recommend this store to anyone who needs authentic high quality period clothing. Well done.

I have ordered many items from Historical Emporium this year. Each item was PERFECT! I had to contact customer service because I lost some weight and one item was a bit larger than I had ordered. They were so helpful and thought of everything in order for me to receive the item in time for my event. I cannot say enough about the quality of the products and materials. I find the website a dream to use and their selections amazing. Everything I ordered arrived before I expected and all of the sizing charts are spot on!

My Sinclair edwardian CC Shirt fit well right out of the package. I like the styling of the shirt and the way it's made; it actually feels better than most modern shirts I own. I bought it to wear the collar up for a more aristocratic standing collar and this works well. I fold the collar down horizontally at the top as it rises past my jawline and this gives a look often seen on aristocrats and politicians. I wear it with a vest that also has a standing collar and it looks great together! Thanks!

This vest was exactly what I had hoped for. The size was as advertised, and the quality was top notch. My only complaint is that the description said antique metal buttons, which most times means a dull metal finish--these buttons had a modern chrome like finish. I'll just replace them and it will be perfect.

I must say this was a wonderful purchase. I put it on to wear, take it off to sleep and my day is made. I perform days and nights in traditional array and this planter will out work me. Make sure you follow the sizing information. I have an X-L crown and the hat fit perfectly but I have not been as lucky when making other purchases.

The quality seemed fine, but the size was smaller than other size 34 gear, such as the canvas field trousers. So get a larger size than you normally would.

once again, very impressed. I had a wardrobe malfuntiontion due to a manufacture defect (bad snap). So I sent an email. They replied with, get this! "Send the item back, THEY will pay return shipping AND will set aside the replacement after thoroughly checking it over. Who does that anymore? That's the way it should be and I'm glad there is still a business doing it the right way. They've got my vote and business.

Items were accurately depicted on the website. They were shipped on hangers and arrived very fast...even though some of my items were backordered. My husband and I were very impressed by the overall quality of materials. We do a Haunt here in Central Ark and everyone kept asking where did we find such unusually hard to find items. I had to exchange the Marcus regency shirt because my husband has unusually long arms, but manangement took my new order and shipped the shirt immediately. Thank you.

This is a nice cane for the money. Wish it came a little longer with a hard tip at the bottom...or some type of tip you could screw on and change out for different looks, instead of rubber casing.

I'm very curvy (Bust 44", Waist 34", Hips 42") and this fits perfectly! I got the 2X and it fits so well that I wondered if it was tailored for me specifically! I was a little worried when I ordered that the color was going to be a little too blue gray not light gray, but I worried needlessly. Perfect light gray with thin white lines. Black is nice and dark. It's surprisingly light and slick. Overall, absolutely perfect!

We needed a dressy high-waisted pant for our steampunk wedding and these were perfect! They are of thick enough material to be durable but still look dressy at the same time. The color was true to the picture and went well with his outfit. I will definitely shop this site again!!

I ordered from you because you had the style of vest I was looking for and in the size I needed. ( A larger size). I really like the vest- I wore it all day at a conference and it was not only stylish but comfortable. The shipping was great- it got to me faster than I expected and yes, I would order from you again.

Great product and great quality. Must fit true to size... Guess I will find out in a day or two. I accidentally ordered my husband the wrong size pants.... Oops. Had to reorder and process the ones I did order to return. Ended up expediting the new ones and hoping they get here by tomorrow for a party. But, from what we could see, they will be of great quality, just as the other items we received. I turned around and ended up ordering myself an outfit in the Ladies section. I think we will have the best costumes at the party! Thanks so much!

I am very pleased with the shirt, as it was all it claimed to be, and even nicer. Service was excellent, timely, everything I could ask for. It fits perfectly with my needs for one of various historical musical "re-enactments" I do. Service and quality were so good, I ordered more "product" from you.

As a UK customer I was really pleased with the service. Order was processed and shipped quicky. Delivery to UK was pretty quick as well. Once import duties were paid it was delivered soon after. Plenty of communication from vendor throughout. If you are purchasing outside US then you have nothing to worry about purchasing from Historical Emporium. I will definitely use again. Many thanks.

I chose to purchase my costumes from your company because I was looking for authentic steampunk clothing for a party. I also suspected the quality would be good, just from the looks of your site. I happened to just find you on a google search. My purchases more than exceeded my expectations. The quality is excellent and I think the prices are fair for what you get. So far the customer service has been great. I received my first product within five business days of ordering (I did not expedite the order). I did make a mistake and order the wrong size pants for my husband, so I expedited the second pair (ordered two days ago and am hoping they come by tomorrow!) I have packaged the pair that was too big (my fault. I ordered the wrong size), and will mail them today. I would most definitely shop with your company again. I love the fact that you use quality fabrics and the styles are authentic. The products I have seen, seem to be made well. I am looking forward to receiving my items I ordered for me now! Yes, I would recommend your company to others. In fact, I already did! Oh, and I was a Theatre major in college, so am very familiar with authenticity and costumes. Yours are the best!

I came across your site some time ago when web-browsing. I heard good things about you "word-of-mouth," so when I decided to shop at your website, I expected good product and service and got them. My purchase exceeded my expectations. Service was excellent. I already entered a new order and have recommended you to several of my colleagues.

The ONLY Way This Gun Would Be Cooler is if it actually fired. But I doubt I could afford the ammo. Seriously, this thing is every bit as awesome as it looks online. I was so happy to feel the WEIGHT of this prop gun, as it feels every bit as real as it looks. My office just went from "yawn" to "badass."

I have placed 3 orders with Historical Emporium in the last 4 weeks and have had occasion to call customer service twice. Each time I was served with outstanding and courteous service. Both occasions were a sizing issue from my end and not a product issue. I could not be more impressed with both the service or the quality of your products. Thank you

We have a Halloween event for employees and their families every year. This year needed a spectacular Dr Frankenstein. This lab coat made it just that - spectacular! So much better than the other junk you find out there. The quality is fantastic! The look is perfect! Sizing is a bit tough to fit everyone, but works just fine for me although a little snug in the middle (probably my problem more than the item). Better suited for the mad scientist who gets to the gym regularly, instead of staying at the lab doing research. So if you keep ahead of the monsters by jogging - perfect!

I purchased this corset for a steampunk Scheherazade outfit, and I'd love to spin a story about it, it fits so well! I've had problems with other (cheaper, not as well made) steel hook corsets bending, warping, or just not being able to get all the hooks to catch. I've had to resort to completely unlacing, setting all the hooks, wrapping it around and stand while someone else laces me back up. This corset, for me, is a one woman job! The stitching and craftsmanship are also top-notch, just what I would expect from Historical Emporium. If you're looking for a durable, easy and comfortable to wear corset that's a REAL corset and not a prop or disposable costume, this is the place to buy them.

This blouse is absolutely gorgeous. The fabric is lovely and a very nice weight. The body of the blouse fit beautifully but the sleeves were a little short for me. This happens all the time, so I don't think it is a flaw in the blouse. Apparently, I just have long arms!

I was a little hesitant on spending money for something I could not see in person first, but after receiving the lab coat I will never have any hesitation on ordering anything else, the materials used are excellent and the stitching was well done. I will have years of use out of it. Historical emporium, well done, you have earned my future business.

I wish I could remember the name of the person I spoke with because they were absolutely wonderful. I needed a blouse in a hurry for a last minute costume and they were able to get it to me in two days. My husband has ordered from this store previously and they were just as helpful to him, even making a return and exchange effortless when he mistakenly ordered the wrong size. I will absolutley shop here again! I already do reccomend this store to others!

I thought it was perfect!!! I could have gotten it a little smaller but it fits just right. The workmanship is amazing right down to the last detaiil. I don't know what people are talking about with the dye issue, I even wiped it down with a clean white cloth and absolutely nothing came off. It fits my Colt SAA 4 3/4" .45 perfectly. If you're EVEN thinking about a rig check these nice people out, forgot....I couldn't believe how fast the delivery was, I ordered it one day and it seemed within 3 days I got my order so you don't have to wait long to get what you purchased!!!

The coat button holes are too small for the buttons, infact the button holes are sized for a dress shirt size button not a larger coat size button. The coat sized buttons supplied were poorly attached. The coat required a lot of rework to make make usable.

This is a very nice item, well built and looks great. The only issue I had with it was that it fits big (especially in the bust-this will look fantastic on those who are well endowed!) and although I ordered according to the size chart for a 2" reduction, it was too big. That being said, I sent it back and it was exchanged with no issues at all for a smaller size which fits wonderfully.

I would order down on size for this item. I typically wear a medium, ordered a large just to be sure, and received what I would consider an XXL for what I'm used to. We were able to size it down manually (which is why we ordered 1 size up) but if you don't want to custom tailor I would order down 1 size or more. That's just my experience. Very well made; clean; quality fabric. Not cheap or skimpy on quality. Thanks!

Nice old timey trousers, and they ride a little higher as described but that works for the costume too. You'll definitely want the suspenders/braces that go with them. I didn't order an and wound up custom building some because the trousers tend to fall down a bit (on me) since they are so high riding. The material is good and easy to work with if you plan to custom tailor. We hemmed and brought the butt in a bit with no trouble. I would say that the material is slightly greener / less brown than what the photos imply, but it's not a problem for our situation. Thanks!

Although this corset is quite specific on the waist size, it leaves off all other detail. I ordered a 28" waist. Since there was no other option for the bust sizing I figured it should come with average bust size for the selected waist size and I could either squeeze into it or perhaps tighten it down, depending on if it were smaller or larger than I needed. I did not expect the corset to be made for someone with a DD bust. Needless to say I was very disappointed as I have no way to fill out such a large bust size. The waist sizing was perfect and it was good quality, if only I could wear it.

These are great looking. At first they seem to work well but then I noticed that the more I move, the more they slip and more on the glasses they are attached to. Other then being concerned that they will fall off and become lost, when they do slip, the screws more into my line of sight and this causes me ot worry that the screw may poke me in my eye.

I had a need for a blouse like this for an upcoming event and only a week to spare. When my Paypal screwed up and decided to send an echeck instead of auto payment like its supposed to, I lost all hope of it arriving in time. But the same day the echeck cleared, the blouse was shipped and it arrived in two days. Plenty of time! The blouse is well made, great fabric, and even tho it runs a bit large that was perfect. The price ran in the middle of others I'd looked at so that was a plus too.

There was an issue with a flask inside my cane being broken on arrival and they were happy to replace that item and ship a new one right away to me. Great people and stands by their products!

I bought these for my boyfriend to complete a steampunk outfit for Halloween. I am very impressed with the quality. They fit great, except that I have to hem them. They arrived quickly. Your website is beautiful and I will definately order from you again. Thank you!

Looks like it could've been tailored just for my wife! We use it at my reenactor show, The Buffalo Bill Experience, and she looks so good, she steals all my thunder!

I needed to get a good cowboy hat for a Halloween costume, and this was just the look I wanted. Perfect color and it couldn't fit any better. I'd buy from this company again.

I am a professional magician and I purchased the Raven Walking Stick as a stage prop. It's exactly what I had imagined and it fits my turn-of-the-century persona perfectly. The detail is unique and smooth enough to feel comfortable in your hand. My wife pointed out, its robust enough to use as an actual cane for when I reach my autumn years. (Many years from now). Well padded and wrapped when shipped. I very happy with my purchase.

The more I wear them the more impressed I am with them! The authetic feel and touch of the fabric, they are comfortable and true to size to I trimmed myself by an inch by eating better, the higher waist fit is good, and the suspender buttons are firmly attached. It compliments my vest I got from them as well.

I love this vest. It is classic and classy and the 4 pockets are well placed and are constructed in a way to offer a great appearance, offer a good place for my time piece. This vest is excellent value for the high quality and the designed is excellent. I am a size 40 chest and the medium vest fit perfectly. ( I thought I was always a size 42 but remeasured my self) These sizes are true to the actual US sizing guidelines.

Although surprisingly light weight, these knickers have a good body and keep their shape. The elastic in the legs is not too tight, and doesn't get uncomfortable with long wear.

My own derby! The fit is great, but remember that a derby has a round opening… it will sit a little lower on the sides when it fits perfectly front to back.

The braces did their job as advertised. My pants didn't fall down once. They were VERY easy to adjust and fit over the buttons. They were also comfortable, the leather back piece was not bulky like others I have had in the past.

I will most definately recommend you to others (in fact I already have) and you will be receiving more orders from me in the future. Thank you for the prompt attention to detail concerning my order.

I received exemplary service in finding a specific women's turn of the century boots @ the last minute. I am still a novice of usage of the WWW & out of curiosity I chose this company. Fascinating reproduction period items to choose from for purchase. My boots have arrived and am pleased with the product. Still, if it wasn't for the customer service representative I was working with I would not have been able to find what I needed in so short a time, as well as, the expense nominal including shipping.

This lab coat, while purchased for a costume, could be used as an actual lab coat. It's made of durable material and very well crafted. I DID require some minimal alterations for me, I though it was a little too long, but the cut was perfect. The sleeves flare out at the cuff but fit perfectly inside the gauntlets I ordered along with them. I will win "best dressed" at the Mad Science Symposium for sure in this!

I have only ordered a couple of items to date from Historical Emporium, a black top hat and a white top hat for two very different evenings - Night of a Thousand Stevies in New York and steampunk Monster Hunters party in Calgary. Everytime I wear these hats I get compliments after compliments. They are absolutely beautiful and are treasures of mine. I plan on doing much more shopping with Historical Emporium...as the special events come up. :)

Really cool watch. It's a little smaller than I expected, but it's shape makes the face visible from all angles, even at it's 1-inch size. Really works, too. It's a winder, but really cool to watch mechanically in action. Excellent for the price.

I like it! It fits me well. I have developed an interest in black powder shooting and I wanted a shirt like Col Custer wore. I know it's not authentic to the period but I did not need to spend $400 or more to get what I wanted. The buckskin leather is darned nice and I felt like Jim Bridger when I wore it to walk my dog (Bebe, a mini poodle, black) last sunday morning. Just for the record my Grandmother was 1/2 Shawnee.
