Very pleased with your selection of clothing. Found just what we were looking for. Everything arrived in a timely manner. The only issue we had was that the 2X size shirt that we bought was way to big and had to be altered. But, loved it enough to have it altered vs. returning.

Definetly one of the best stores around. The quality is way above any other store I've shopped at online and the customer service is fantastic. Very happy! I got a friend a hat but it was too small, within just a few days another one arrived. I can't say enough about the quality of the items....VERY VERY GOOD.

It took 10 days to ship the items I purchased and that seems a long time. I have bought many things out of California and it has never taken that long to get them. The shirts are great and the cane is exactly as descibed and is beautiful...

I had one of these very same vests. Grew out if it (alas!) and wanted another. Delighted to find it still available. Wore it at an event last weekend (I'm a historian and do speaking gigs around the West) and couldn't have been more pleased.

I returned the Floyd side button shirt because it was not as I expected from the photos on the website. Material too rough looking. I wanted something more refined. The problems with ordering clothing on line. I'm out the shipping costs both ways. Note that your customer service representatives were very friendly, courteous and helpful both when I purchased the garment and when I called to arrange the return.

An issue with delivery was resolved quickly & courteously. The item arrived ahead of time & in good condition though the cardboard box could be more robust. The waistcoat is 100% wool herringbone tweed & its' weight is good for colder days under a jacket as the back is cotton. The overall quality is high & I'm more than satisfied.

The product was delivered exactly as pictured and described. The cost, including shelf price, freight, duty and exchange to Canada, was more than just a great bargain, and customer service during and after sale was exceptional. A great on-line shopping experience. Highly recommended.

Mini Top Hat
I needed a hat or fascinator for a competition I am entering. This mini top hat fascinator was exactly what I was looking for. The hat is great as it is, but for the competition I will be embellishing it to make it my own. I also love the headband to keep it on your head no extra pins needed to keep it in place. Shipping and delivery were super fast and I received it before the date promised. I will recommend this site to others.

Sharp!
This vest is very sharp! The quality is very high standard. I matched it with brown dress pants the same color brown that is in the vest. I also used a white shirt with a red, white and brown color bow tie!

Just Right
Fits perfectly, and the snappy look is just right. Beware that the vest is slightly darker than depicted. In strong light, it's emerald green. Under dimmer light, it looks more of a forest green. Love it, wore it out to the theater last weekend for a trial run with a black shirt, black pants, and a loosened green-and-black Jerry Garcia necktie, and the combo was perfect. I actually bought this for an upcoming 100th anniversary of my college fraternity, whose colors are green and white. Everyone else will be running to J.C. Penney for a green dress shirt. I thought I'd do something a bit different. Be well.

Tiny holes
The quality of the collar is fine, but two things to be aware of when ordering: 1. Be careful about sizing. I ordered an XL based on the size charts and it was too big. It ended up working okay with my own shirt and I was able to mask the extra size with a cravat. 2. The button holes in the front of the collar are TINY -- they actually are not "button holes" as no button could ever fit through them. I also tried a different cufflinks and a tux shirt stud, none of which fit through the little holes. The H.E. web site mentions a "collar stud" in passing (not included) but I did not see that or even realize such a thing existed. Luckily I found a stray antique stud that happened to have a retractible back which just barely fit through to keep the collar closed.

Suspenders
I enjoyed the fast shipping. I bought the pants first and had to shop around for the right suspenders. You had the period correct ones I was after and I'm very pleased with the quality of your product. Rest assured I will come back for all my special clothing needs. Thank You, TC Kern

We purchased this cut-away for my husband (Father of the Bride). It fits perfectly, looks great and was a reasonable price. He will only be wearing for special occasions, like the upcoming wedding of our daughter.

love them!
I bought the brown suede looking riding pants for the winter for my girls and I and we loved those. Now I bought these for the spring/summer and the opinion is the same. They are very light weight and comfortable. Perfect for modestly and stylishly riding their horses during the warm months.

Nice Cotton Camisole
This is a well made camisole top made of good cotton. Already wore & washed it once and it held up perfectly! Goes really pretty with the bloomer shorts and my husband loves the cute, sexy vintage look. Very comfortable to sleep in too!

Great Gun Belt
I was very pleased with the timeliness of the order processed and delivery. I only had one disappointment with the holster that could be very easily cured with your choice of leather conditioner ( I.E. mink oil, neat foot oil, ECT.),dry leather. As for the quality of the gun belt for the price, I believe that you would be hard pressed to find a competitor.

Apr 17, 2014
Perfect!
I bought this to wear to a Civil War reenactment. It is absolutely perfect! I handmade a skirt and jacket, and bought the blouse to go under the jacket. It is so pretty and authentic that I will be able to wear it with just the skirt and look just as good!

Winter warmer
The waistcoat arrived ahead of the projected time. Though the cardboard box was a little less than robust enough for the journey it arrived intact and the inner plastic bag was still unopened. Made of 100% wool the waistcoat is heavy weight and suitable for colder months though the cotton back means it will have to be worn under a jacket. Its' finish is of a high standard & I look forward to wearing it as winter is approaching here.

Black Brushed Vest
This product is very well made and has a lustrous look with the brushed cotten. The vest itself is heavier fabric and has the adjustable strap in the back. It's four pockets allow for my watch and chain as well as handkerchiefs, keys, ticket stubs or snuff box. Looks smashing with the matching material trousers. I highly recommend this product for reproductions or just dressing up for a night out.

High quality but one size does not fit all
This is a great monocle and very modestly priced. The craftsmanship is high quality. Unfortunately, I can't wear it. If I "make" it fit my eye socket I can't blink. It would be great if the gallery were deeper so that it would sit in the eye socket while keeping the lens proud of the lashes. I would definitely buy it again. I just wish I could wear it.

Absolutely Stunning
This is a beautiful tie tack. Extremely high quality with a very low price. The metal is strong, the stones are very reflective and the profile is great. The deep setting and locking back keep the pin in place and standing proud of any tie or ascot.

Great Spectacles
These are great spectacles - especially for the price. The required a little adjustment to fit my face, as all glasses do, but are of extremely high quality.

holster and customer service
Very good. All leather and simple, apparently robust construction. Customer service was also excellent; I wasn't able to gain access to that review. I got the holster in my Post Office Box two working days after ordering so I waited to see what I was charged for postage but on my credit card statement I see that is exactly what it was supposed to be so I can't think how I could ask for more.

Have for years wanted a jacket like this, and finally got the opportunity, it's just incredibly wonderful to wear, just like a suit jacket, suit thin, not too thick, missed the size, but it has a tailor fixed. Can nothing but recommend further;-) From my side, a daily use ;-)
