Great products, great service! I was very happy to find gentlemansemporium.com online but I am much happier after shopping. I got what I had wished to have quickly. The items that I purchased have good quality and good looks. The items are now my usual clothes for dining out or various classical music concerts. I had to return some of the items simply because they were not my taste and the customer service was great even for return items and refund. I will come back and shop with them for sure in the future.

I have had the most wonderful experience shopping here. The site is very user friendly and the merchandise is presented in a very detailed manner. I have found the products to be of finest quality and I made a nice impression on Easter Sunday with these vintage men's fashions. The spats are easy to button and the straw boater hat was a comfortable fit. I hope to continue as a regular customer for items that I thought would be beyond the reach of everyday people price wise but are most wonderfully affordable. Thanks for such quality goods and superior and prompt service.

I must say that I am quite pleased with the service and quality of merchandise from Historical Emporium. I have found the same items on other sites that had cheaper prices, but found the others didn't have my size or color of the items I needed so wound up buying from you guys. The delivery time has always been excellent. Will definitely shop with you again. Thanks for being such a dependable company.

I was entirely satisfied with the goods, your prices and delivery charges. 'Overall Price' just reminded me that on $379.70 US for goods and shipping, the UK added a further $141. That's not your fault at all, just harder to convince my Wife that I should buy the things I like.

Derby hat
I ordered this hat for my husbands birthday. He LOVES it. It was delivered about two days before I even thought about watching for it. No complaints at all about the quality of the hat, or the service I received. The only thing, and it is a little thing is that the hat did not quite fit. My husband has a huge melon, and can wear most XL sized hats, but anything larger is too big. This XL hat was a little tight, but not enough to worry about. Some things you just have to try on.

There was nothing wrong with the petticoat expect it was too flouncy. The Traditional was much better for me.

PERFECTION!
I have been searching for petticoats for years and stumbled on your website. When I saw the petticoats, I was in heaven. I ordered the Classic Cotton and Traditional. I didn't know there was a difference. The Classic Cotton was too flouncy for me but the Traditional was perfect. I returned the Classic and ordered the Bloomers in black and off-white. I can't wait!!

Beautiful and versatile
I purchased these pants for my son to wear to his prom with a waistcoat and tails. They look fantastic with his formal wear, but are versatile enough that he immediately wanted to wear them to school with suspenders and a work shirt. The trousers are soft and well-made, and I see them being a favorite garment after the dance is over. We ordered one size larger than his waist measurement, and they fit perfectly.

Very Low quality
I really wanted to like this jacket. Upon unpacking I have to say that the color is awesome and it really shines. However, as soon as I put the jacket on it was clear that the materials and construction were very cheap. The foam or padding in the shoulders made a "ruffling noise" when it moved, and just the overall feel was cheap and nasty. I returned mine, and true to their word this was easy and no questions asked.

Lovely boots
Beautiful soft leather boots. I have been looking for ages for the right boots and these are just perfect for my woodland wedding. Can't wait for the day!

Impractical scale
I have two .38 revolvers. One with a six inch barrel and one with a four inch barrel. Neither of them sat in the holster correctly. The leather work shows great craftsmanship but the size is just off for a revolver. I sent mine back and went to a western shop were I purchased a holster that holds them correctly.

Great Aviator helmet
The best I've found. I have a large head, at the upper spectrum of sizes, 7.75, and it is difficult to find even regular headgear that fits. I have another helmet that ALMOST fits, but not comfortably. This one does! It fits comfortable, the leather feels and wears great. Of course, this is not a perfect world, so I must say, there is one needed improvement, a problem I have any time straps are involved. The chin strap could be a little longer. One inch, maybe. Other than that, I would heartily recommend this leather flying helmet to all my aviator companions. I know MY gang at "Night Owl Avionics" all wear this helmet. One caveat: Do NOT attempt to wear this helmet without goggles. You don't want to look like a leather peanut head, do you? :)

A Very Short Topper
This is a fairly well-made hat, with neat decorations for the Steampunk crowd. It features a low crown, rising just a couple inches above the curled brim. Be aware that this hat appears to be constructed around a rounder head. When I tried it on, it meet the front and back of my head, but stood out by a finger's width on the sides. This may be fixable somehow, but I ultimately returned it, as it wasn't nearly as tall as I'd hoped. While this hat may be ideal for some, if you are looking for a taller hat for a dressier occasion, try the Deluxe John Bull, or the Acme Top Hat, the latter of which also features the Steampunk embellishments .

western gun belt
This product was exactly as described and was ideal for my purpose. The place I am staying is performing a "Great Train Robbery" and this helps complete the gunslinger look I was trying to achieve. My only problem was not knowing how to measure the belt. I measured my hip size when I should have measured my waist and added 2 inches. However, everything worked out and I am completely satisfied. Thanks.

Very Nice
I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the material and workmanship. I thought it would be a good piece but I had no idea how good it ended up being. It's got some real heft to it and it just looks fantastic with all the fine details. I will definitely be getting some more for my steampunk loving friends' birthdays.

Nice coat
I really like this coat, I'm surprised how nice it looks in person. The buttons are plastic, which you realize only if you touch them, and I will probably replace them. The one thing is, if you order this coat, really size up. I take a 10, sometimes 12 and I ordered a Large, which says 14 on tag. But I can barely button the coat.

One happy camper.
It was not just the surprisingly excellent tailoring or smooth service that made me a happy customer. Nor was it the compliments I receive when wearing this great cost. It was that I feel a million dollars wearing this fantastic Frock Coat. All in all, a great purchase. So great I ordered another one.

A joy to wear
Words of praise are inadequate to express how much I am enjoying this purchase. Practical, sturdy and stylish leap to mind. This item says it is hard working wear. But from the body feel, to the plethora of pockets, this vest goes beyond workwear. Will definitely purchase one or two more. I also cannot fault the service for speed, efficiency and courtesy. As usual, 'Historical Emporium' has done another sterling job.

Beautiful but badly fitting
These spat shoes are every bit as gorgeous as the photo. They get gasps and positive comments everywhere, However, they are really very tight and the upper is not very high quality. I had trouble getting them on (they are sized a tad small), and the rear tab broke the first time I pulled on it. I took them to bootmaker to see if they could be stretched and the answer is no. Apparently they are made of corrected leather, which is pre-shrunk. So there is no way to stretch them. Get them a size larger than you think you need. Unfortunately, I am a size 13 and that's the largest size they offer.

Ladies Edwardian Suit
Received very promptly. The outfit is perfect. I did really need the size of 1x but ordered the 2x since you were out of stock and the class field trip was coming up. I needed to hem the skirt, which was no problem. The jkt. although big will work out fine. Thank you

My Favorite Hat
This hat (like most products I find on here) is durable, yet elegant. It's reinforced quite well to retain its shape including the slight "bell" shape the brim has. It's not a bad price as well. I'd recommend it.

Much Like Dr. Steel's
I do so enjoy these nice spectacles. They're quite beautiful, and yet, practical. The side-shields are ornate with little antique designs that contribute to the spectacles' appearance well. It protects you from the sun's rays very well. I find myself using them for practical purposes as well as for mere fun. They even have durable springs that flip the shades open with a mere flick of a finger. I'd recommend these to anyone whom enjoys a nice steam-punk look, or even that of a mad doctor, plus more.
