This jacket is beautiful. I am very fortunate to have come across it as it fits perfectly into my cosplay plans. The fit is definitely on the snug side. I am on the chesty size, so a size large worked well. I can still fasten all the buttons with no gaps popping open, for which I am tremendously grateful. Excited to see how my final outfit comes together!

I wore this straw boater to my son's college graduation and received numerous compliments. Several men asked where I purchased it. Expect that by this time next year everyone will be wearing them!

Loved the hat, but it ran a bit small. I was pleased at your quick return and credit process. I purchased the Coachmans Hat (in my correct size) to replace this one. Thanks for your promptness in the credit, and shipping out of the replacement.

Love it!!! I will be modifying the band to make it more of a ladies hat. I am very excited about this purchase. Thanks for the prompt delivery (3 days) because I could not wait to get it.

I especially like this coat. The black velvet lapels and collars that contrasted with the color of the coat itself was exactly what I was looking for. It's also not too thick, so it could even be worn in milder weather. Overall, this coat is perfect for a gentleman's leisurely walk in the park or to a Charles Dickens-themed festival, steampunk, etc.

This velvet jacket is a fantastic coat to add to your wardrobe. It's extremely comfortable and pleasant to look at. Overall, I'd recommend.

This is indeed a stylish tie. Ideal for the type of gentleman who pursues his recreation in sporting houses, billiard rooms, betting parlors, beer halls, cigar stores and racetracks. Or perhaps on a riverboat, plying America's waterways, cheerfully separating unsuspecting fellow passengers from their wagering stakes.

These so called Glacier Goggles wouldn't serve you in any functional manner whatsoever except perhaps as a costume prop. They are poorly made, poorer quality, and misrepresented. If I hadn't already spent good money to buy and have them delivered, I would send them back with a nasty gram. As it stands, I will not waste more good money on this trash. I will, however, spend some time warning the unsuspecting public via blog about Historical Emporium's misrepresentation of this expensive but useless product. David Williamson

I bought this not as a piece for the shelf, but to be carried...It is twice as heavy as the real/loaded M4 I carried in Afghanistan (I guess we've come a long way in 100 years of fiction). Anyway, the detail is impressive...and I'm very happy with the look. I'm just not sure I want to carry it all day at Dragoncon.

The quality of the Highland pants is excellent, but I found that the waist size runs 1-2 inches smaller than modern store bought pants, so I had to do an exchange, which went very smoothly. Great product for a good price.

I bought this product in the hope that I could use it to clip on my sunglasses and flip one lens down to use for reading at my outdoor job without taking my shades off. Alas, the focus distance became about two inches, so as I feared, it didn't work for that. However, my wife is painting and detailing a series of birdhouses, and it is just perfect for the close and tiny, so while it didn't meet the original need, it fills another that we weren't even aware of. It stays put on the glasses, and the lenses stay where you put them. The spring in the glasses clip could be a little stronger, as if you bump it with a brush handle or the back of your hand, it pops right off, but that's a small complaint. A good, functional product, and I'm glad I bought it.

Ordered these since they were really the only affordable high waisted pants on the web. Overall I like the material, it's very denim-like. When I got them they were actually quite baggy but a trip to the tailors solved the issue. The tailor help convert these "old fashion trousers" into actually pants you can wear. So if any guy out there trying to pull high waisted these are nice but you'll need a tailor to give it a nice modern touch up. Also, Delivery came a day early so that was a treat. Overall, it give it fours stars only because of the tailor needed but besides that this is a great purchase.

And 100% perfect for my son's Red Dr. Horrible costume for this year's Phoenix Comicon! The material is a good weight with solid color. He is a Large normally, but the medium/large fit him perfectly. And it was so comfortable that he wore it for a day just to wear it. We'll be doing one of his senior pics in the whole costume, too. :-) Oh, and shipping was fast, too! I didn't need to contact customer service for anything. Thank you for an excellent product! (I wish there was a way for me to upload a pic for you, but here's a link: http://bit.ly/MikeHorrible )

I had a band collared tux shirt that I wanted to add this collar to, to change the look. Just needed to sew a small button to the back of the shirt to hold it in place. You may also need to carefully cut the button holes on the front of the collar to make it big enough to fit a collar stud through depending on the size of your stud, but they come sewn small so there is a little bit of room to make them bigger without cutting through the button hole stitching if you are careful.

I absolutely LOVE my black Battenberg Lace Parasol and can't wait to use it!! I will soon be buying one to match each pair of my (leather & lace) Vesper boots~ivory & white. Thank you again Historical Emporium for your lovely products and wonderful service.

I ordered these spurs prior to reading any of the other reviews. I made my purchase then read a concern about them being too small and was worried I would have the same problems, since I wear mens size 12. I received these spurs and put them on my boots and had no problems with the fitting. Very happy with my purchase.

Didn't know quite what to expect but was pleasantly surprised. Well made and nice fabric. Full cut but ok for style. Received when promised. So far so good..........

Excellent Tail coat and very Happy with my purchase. The quality, the detailed and the craftsmanship on the jacket its outstanding. I just added a pair of wings on the sleeve for a gothic effect I wanted to give the jacket. Very Happy. Thank you, 'Hector

Ordered the pocket watch from my fiance for his birthday but will serve as a wedding gift. He is wearing a 20s type vest and this pocket watch looks amazing with it. The quality is outstanding, heavier weight and looks beautiful. He was so excited when he received it and was surprised how good the quality was. Shipping was very fast and no issues at all!! We will order again!

I am an individual who likes things personalized and I have found that the items and products offered at the historical emporium have always met my expectations. I recently purchased the Lansing vest and was not disappointed and it's quality or fit. The materials in which it was manufactured and the craftsmanship in which it was created is top shelf. The only suggestion would be that it would come in other colors and textures to choose from. I look forward to doing more business with the Emporium in the future.

Good product. Looked good and functioned well.

the shirt is nice looking and fits nicely, it has room in the sleeves to move and it feels nice to wear.

the pants looked good when I got them but after wearing them just a few times the whole seat ripped out from crotch to waist band, don't know if it was poorly sewn or what. other wise the pants are nice looking. Editor's note: There was a mistake made in the manufacturing and we have worked with the vendor to remedy the situation and removed all affected trousers from stock. We apologize for the inconvenience.

I wore this the other day for an event at the Historical museum I volunteer at. We were given a few places of which we could purchase our own clothing for the museum. I actually found another volunteer wearing the same blouse purchased here as well. It is comfortable, extremely well made and very pretty. I wear a small, the sleeves were a bit long but just had to fold them over. Problem solved. Thanks! I will no doubt purchase other items from your wonderful site.

I'm tall but I can wrap this around myself twice. If my suit size if 43, would a medium or large be a better fit - or then be too short?

Not much to say, other than that this is a nice ascot. Plenty of room for a largish neck size like mine!

I thought these would be like the lenses that came with the goggles I bought (not from here), but they are twice as thick, and tough. I used a cheap drill to make a hole in the ones that came with the goggles (for steampunk add-ons), but I couldn't even scratch these with it! I didn't try a "good" drill, but still... encouraging.

For my shirt size, I have short arms. Having a couple of these around is useful for a guy like me. I prefer these to the metal ones found elsewhere. They are more comfortable.

Quality construction, and perfectly authentic replica. Easy to care for, comfortable for everyday work, and for venturing around town.

Precisely completes my wardrobe! This "walnut" colour goes with any trouser and will fit nicely under any coat. The back adjustment helps hug the figure, and keeps this gentleman standing tall. Quality material, washes easier than I expected, and it looks perfectly authentic.

Well done replica! Authenticity and quality! Surprisingly comfortable, and easy to care for. A quick adjustment to the hem, and I am now ready for everything the day will bring.

Perfectly authentic replica! Cannot help but attract attention while out around town, but still comfortable and durable for daily chores. Easy to take care of as well! Thanks for the "heads up" on the inseam, I had my sewing machine by the ready, and hemmed them to the perfect length.

Every detail is authentic and truly appreciated! Good fit, quality material, and comfortable.

These are mandatory with any of the authentic replica trousers, and this set is the perfect choice. Quality leather and elastic, and seem to be generously cut for even the tallest gentleman, I wear mine at the shortest possible setting while measuring 6ft tall.

Despite the long skirt, these stockings do challenge one's modesty. Play along, and feign shame, but really one could not ask for anything better! Possibly a bit thin in the heal for everyday use, but good for "special" days.

Glad to have found an Ascot, then amazed by the selection, and now completely satisfied with this choice. Bonus; The Gentleman's Emporium has instructions on how to tie the thing!! I wear it every other day!

Exactly as described! Great quality and perfectly accurate replica!

Higher Quality than hats that are twice the price.

I couldn't believe how well made this garment was for the low price I paid. It's fully lined and the construction is solid. I was lucky enough to have it be a perfect fit for me, and my ruffle necked and cuffed blouse was a perfect coordinate for this elegant piece.

I have a small head, and have looked everywhere locally for a decent top hat with no success because they are always too big. This was a perfect fit, so I'll be buying other hats (Turnbull & Bowler) in the future, and probably get other of this hat in the other colours.

These leggings are crazy comfortable and beautifully soft, though I recommend washing them before you wear them for the first time. They shed quite a bit before the first wash and I was pulling little brown bits off my tail coat after the first hour. I love them so much I bought a pair in each colour after wearing them the first time.
