The vests are beautiful and of nice quality. The guys will love them for Christmas. Wish the shipping had been more reasonable however.

The only issue I had was your requirement to use a cashiers check to pay for the item I ordered. Going to a bank and having a cashiers check made out was a little irritating since I always use a personal check elsewhere. I don't mess with credit cards. Otherwise, everything was excellent. Thanks.

Love, love, love this company! This is the 3rd year in a row I have ordered from them for our yearly production of Scrooge the Musical. They always have what I need, and I get whatever I order in a timely manner. Every year I look forward to shopping from this website! Highly recommend this company!

I have purchased several items from Gentleman's Emporium and have been satisfied every time. The description and photos of every item has been accurate, sizing is always correct and quality has never disappointed. Shipping has been prompt and I've always been happy with my purchases.

Suggestion - please consider putting something with each order that describes the care and cleaning of your leather products. I ordered a holster and the only thing else with it was a very short note telling to wipe the holster down before I handled it because of the dyes that might have left some residue on it. Telling me how to care would be very helpful - I now have a leather holster that is as hard as rock and have no idea how to soften it up so I can at least get the gun inside. Thank you for considering my comments

Great selection and an easy to navigate website. I am happy with my purchases, but felt that the quality should have been better, for the price paid.

The vest is very nice. Very soft, just what we were looking for. The nicest vest I have seen in years.

This was my first experience (but not my last) Gentlemen's Emporium. I can't say how totally pleased I am with the quality and workmanship of the two vests I received. Nothing short of outstanding.

I bought (a lot) of vintage clothing for my lady and myself for Ragtime and Dixieland Festivals and am ABSOLUTELY satisfied. I'm not done and definitely will be buying (a lot) more.

Shipping would probably be quicker with USPS rather than UPS. My order had a 4 day delay because of not being able to unload trailer according to UPS.

The vest was exactly as described and arrived in a timely manner. I'd ordered from the Emporium before and will no doubt do so again. You guys are great!

Performing in Scrooge, the Musical. Living in a small town and not much in costumes that doesn't smell like moth balls. Purchased items and found that they were not only confortable to wear, but fit quite nicely; without alterations. Make sure you measure before you order as to save time and shipping costs. Fantastic selection and really good material. Thanks.

Handsome
Bought this so my handsome husband would have a nice vest with which to wear his pocket watches. He looks very dapper in it. Hardly Olive, more brownish with a slight green cast. Fits nicely!

Callahan frock coat
My husband is a minister in a traditional church as well as a cowboy church. He has always wanted a frock coat. I purchased this for him for a Christmas present. Couldn't tell him about it prior to purchasing, so I hope the size is ok - will let you know after Christmas. I tried it on and compared it to another of his suit jackets -seems comparable to me, but then I won't be wearing it. The quality is excellent and the detailing is also. Hope he is pleasantly surprised. I'm sure I will be making more purchases in the future.

Victorian Cutaway--Great!
I was completely satisfied with my purchase of this coat. It is light weight enough to wear to the opera or to wear while ballroom dancing. The fit was amazingly accurate (I wear a 42 regular and it was "right on the money".) The quality is quiet good and I certainly will get plenty of use out of it.

good looking shirt
Nice cotton shirt that fits as described. The buttons are great, but the cotton could be a bit better quality.

nice braces
These braces fit perfect with the trousers, and look great. Only issue is that the buckles are rather high on the chest, too close to the collarbone for my liking.

kewl trousers
The description is very accurate and the trousers came as advertised. They look great and the fit is perfect. Of course, I had to get them hemmed, so bear that in mind. Only thing that I don't like is the permanent label sewn on the outside back pocket is rather large and makes the pants look a bit cheap.

nice vest
Vest looks nice, and the photo on the website is very accurate. I am 6' 1" and weigh 220 lbs. Usually an XL fits me, but XL in this vest is too tight - the buttons wont do up.

Perfect.
Heavier weight. Fine construction. Worth much more than I paid. A funny thing happened, though. I instantly grew a pencil-thin moustache when I opened the box. Strange.

Thank you Historical Emporium; you rock! The coat is perfect; sleeves needed to be shortened but my husband has short arms! The quality of this coat is just unbelievable! The perfect accessory for a Victorian costume that every man needs! Thank you so much!

The receipt and handling of my order was perfectly professional, and the delivery was just as smooth. Not a hitch from start to finish. These are great people to deal with, and I will recommend them to anyone without the slightest hesitation.

Marshall Wool Vest
I am one very happy customer after receiving the vest I ordered. I have looked for a vest of this quality and styling for several years; checking on-line, and in the stores I visited whenever I noticed their vest hanging on the rack. Nothing ever came as close to the cut and quality of this vest as this one from Historical Emporium. I wouldn't have the slightest hesitation to order from them again, and will gladly recommend them to anyone considering a purchase.

Great Quality Product
Order exactly what the sizes say in this product. There is no wiggle room. The material on this skirt is exactly as described. Don't expect to get any extra space in this item.
