First time ordering from this site and was pleasantly surprised at how fast my order was processed and received. The coat was exactly as shown and very cute.

They sent me what I ordered as quickly as I believe possible. They didn't have one shirt available at the time I ordered, yet sent it to me once it was, at no additional cost. Rather cool of them.

Although I ordered my usual size it seems this product ran a little smaller than usual. I was hoping to exchange it for the next size however I was told I would have to pay shipping charges to send it back as well as charges for the new product for a total of three shipping charges. That made a big difference in affordability and I was not able to do it. Now I have something I cannot use.

The service I have received from Gentlemen's Emporium has been second to none, many of my local on line and over the counter suppliers could learn a lot from you. I definitely will shop with you again ad I require new items. my only concern is that I need to send my credit card details with each purchase, and as the internet is becoming such a dangerous place I believe it would be a good idea for you to keep regular customers details on record. Other than this small problem I have no complaints whatsoever. Many thanks. Ken Brady.

First order exchanged for smaller size, the sizes seemed to be on the large size, but maybe because I am smaller than average. The exchange was prompt and the person helping me was courteous and helpful. Second order was also on the large size, and have sent that in for an exchange.

I contacted customer service due to a delivery issue. I saw in the tracking that the post office was sending the package back and forth between two stations but not getting it to me. Customer Service answered the same day suggesting I call the post office and gave a number. By calling the post office the problem was resolved and I received my package the next day. Thank you for the professional and correct help I needed.

I ordered two vests and they arrived the next day! One fit well and one was slightly too large. It was no trouble to return the too large vest for a full refund. Excellent service and excellent product.

The belt and holsters were not suitable for the purpose I bought them. I wanted to use these products in SASS shooting competitions. Specifically, the cross draw holster would not fit on the belt, the leather was stiff as "iron' and was not wearable, and the shoulder holster was too small for the firearm I wanted to put in it. When I called customer services to see what could be done, I concluded I had to return them, which I did at the post office yesterday.

My shopping experience was enjoyable and expedient. I enjoy doing period plays, especially pieces set in the early 19th Century, and GE has always offered just the right components of the costumes I have needed. I would recommend Gentleman's Emporium first over any other company offering similar products.

Very Nice
I bought this coat for my daughter as a gift and she absolutely loved it. It is so original and guaranteed not to be what everyone else is wearing. The fabric is very nice and it is made well. Cute, Cute!

A nice red vest that I'm gonna have to keep the missus from 'borrowing' permanently. I think I'll have to get another soon.

Cold Day, warm Fingers.
A nice contrast to my other gloves. And it's NOT a 'one-size' fits all horse apples. These are large, and they fit nicely.

Beautiful Vest
Bought this vest for my role as Sir John Middleton in Sense & Sensibility. A gorgeous, well made vest. It complimented my Victorian Cutaway Coat very well. The vest pockets accommodate a pocket watch and chain easily.

Terrific Hoop skirt
I am very pleased with my purchase of the Edwardian Hoop Skirt. It has a nice fullness , is long enough for me in my heeled granny boots (I'm 5' 9"barefoot).The description on the website is accurate. I can't wait to wear it under one of my gowns I wear ad a docent at my local historical society this summer.

Men's Spats - white
I remember when I was in High School we wore spats in the marching band. These are much better quality. I personally like the canvas feel. They have the look and feel I expect was real for the time period they represent. I am very happy with them. I highly recommend this product.

Detachable Cotton Collar
This is a really nice product. Unfortunately for me I followed the measuring format and ordered a 16" neck, which is the actual measurement of my neck and is the size off the tux shirt I was going to be using with the collar. It is actually to big. I probably need one size smaller. No big deal for me so I may just order another one. The construction is good and it looks good even the way I was wearing it. Good quality.

Fine Fabric
Skeptical, concerning synthetic fabrics, I was pleased with the depth and detail of the polyester material. The tailoring is precise, ans the substantial weight of the material makes the design really stand out. Fine addition to my collection.

The craftsmanship on this shirt is amazing. It is beautiful and it fits like a glove and it feels like silk wearing it, have gotten many compliments on this shirt so far. Thanks

Very pretty detailing (not easy to see or appreciate from the picture). It is very well made and the sizing is true. The laces are extremely long.

Good.
Runs a bit large and sits a little high, but still works. It's labeled "Frontier Accessories" and comes with a tag that says "Cattle Baron" on it, which takes it down a notch for me, but nobody else needs to know, I suppose... It's also much lighter in color than the picture suggests, more of a light grey than a dark green. I still like it, though, so I'll keep it.

Not long enough
Aside from the length, the fit was good and it seems well made. Its looks good under a corset, but it is too short and gets pulled up back under the corset.

Runs small
They seem to be well made, but I think they run small. I was airing on the side of caution by ordering a size bigger than I thought I needed (for comfort and additional modesty since the costume I had planned called for wearing it as an outer garment). While they fit, they were extremely snug around the stomach and butt. I ended up having to add a petticoat to cover the snug fitting top portion.

Everyday style
I've been wearing this or the black version every day since they arrived. They help me stay warm and classy in my basement office, and provide a place for my watch and a few small items without weighting down my trouser pockets. The fabric starts out a bit stiff, but softens up pretty quickly.

This is a great shirt ! I had a hard time finding a shirt like this. Is is a great quality. A leetle hard to iron, but that was to be expected :) . First time I wore it , I got many compliments on it. I would buy another one, but there arnt a a lot of colors to choose from. You cann't go wrong buying one of these if you like this style.

Historical Emporium had exactly what I was looking for. I think I'm going to wear this thing every day. It's well made and the sizing was accurate. Shipping was fast and there were no problems. I couldn't be happier. I will very likely be purchasing from them again.

Just what we were looking for!
Over 35 years ago, I purchased a newsboy cap for my husband at Disneyland - their hat shop was selling it as a replica of the cap worn by Bert, the chimney sweep (so wonderfully portrayed by Mr. Dick Van Dyke!) in "Mary Poppins." He has worn it every fall/winter since and it is on its last legs! We have been searching for a replacement for the past few years and after seeing your ad in 'Smithsonian' magazine, I found this cap on your website. It is practically perfect (the body is just a bit wider than the original), even made from the same sort of brown wool tweed. The size is perfect and the product is well made. We are sure this one will last him the next 35 years! Thank you!
