I ordered items from three different companies on the same day, one of the companies being Gentlemans Emporium. I requested express delivery from all three companies. Only one of those orders arrived the next business day, the one from Gentlemans Emporium! This comes to me as no surprise; I've always been well-pleased with the products and service provided by Gentlemans Emporium. Keep up the good work; I'm happy to be your customer and recommend you whenever possible.

I like the hat - comfortable, cool and keeps the sun off my face and neck. I would suggest that the sweat band in front have a means of removal for laundry purposes.

Love my new Straw Boater. Excellent quality. I've already worn the hat twice at important public events and everyone who sees the hat admires it and wants to know where I got it. I'm pleased to tell them that it's from Gentleman's Emporium. Thanks again. SRP

I love shopping the Emporiums. Everything is easy to find. The prices are great and the quality is exceptional.

The "traditional" India helmet was the closest I could find to an actual pith helmet. I am satisfied with the purchase. It definitely provides the necessary protection, and cooling, from the "mid day sun".

Gorgeous Vest
This vest is really well-made, and looks just as impressive in person as it does in the pictures. I ordered the 2x size, as I'm 6'4" with a 40" waist, and the listing on the site says that the vest runs small. I usually wear an XL. I have some bulges when I wear the vest, and it's a little shorter than I'd like, so I suspect that the creators assumed anyone needing a 2X would be a fat guy. But it's not short enough on me that it looks weird, and some creative arranging keeps the bulges from being too noticeable. Overall it's a great product, my issues mostly stem from being a non-standard size, the craftsmanship is high-quality and resulted in multiple admiring comments on my first night out wearing it.

Colors are rather unimaginative. Cotton actually works better than my silk version, and better than my synthetic version, as it holds its bow shape better. Cotton washes and presses easily.

Great Pith Helmet!
I could not be more pleased with my purchase. My pith helmet is extremely lightweight and comfortable. The headband adjusts for a perfectly snug fit. I have had no issues with it blowing off. The ventilation is such that it keeps my head cool even in the midday sun. The brim keeps the sun out of my eyes without obscuring my view. Well worth the price! I highly recommend this hat to anyone!

Excellent products
This isn't my first waistcoat purchased from this site. Each one has been delivered quickly and the quality of the products has consistently met or exceeded my expectations. This particular waistcoat, especially when worn with a light colored jacket, will elicit tons of compliments - even from random strangers. As a matter of fact, I wore this waistcoat to work yesterday, and I walk past a haberdashery called "L'Uomo" in Philadelphia. The owner of the shop, a little old Italian guy, stopped me and wanted to know where I got my clothes from. Of course, if he sold these, they would cost around $2,000 just like everything else in his shop.

I like it
The service was good....the product was what I expected. I like the gun belt and holster rig, it is a good match to my two Ruger Vaqueros. I will be using your services again.

Don't buy this. This is very cheap looking like a toy necklace. Disappointed.

high quality
Quite impressive quality--long shirt tails, amply cut, fabric with a good "hand"--put me back in the day when clothing was built to last.

Two-piece Tailcoat Tux
The price does not reflect the quality of the tuxedo. It looks much more expensive. The fit was perfect. It was wonderful to know I will be able to return to the website to find what I may need for my husband for future events. The choices were tremendous and I was amazed how quickly I received the order. I will definitely recommend this site to others. Thank you!

Truly Stunning
I ordered these pants for my groom's Victorian wedding ensemble-- the package arrived about twice as fast as I was expecting, and the pants fit him like a dream! I can't even get over it; I will definitely recommend this shop to anyone looking for high quality, authentic looking Victorian era pieces. Thank you!!!

Suspenders and saddle pants
I recently became involved with Chuck Wagon cooking. Although I've been Dutch oven cooking for close to 30 years with our Boy Scout Troop, this is the first time I've ever had to cook like was done on cattle drives on the trail. I needed to find some period clothing for the cooking competition, and discovered the Historical Emporium website thru an internet search. The products, particularly clothing, were just what I was looking for, and at a reasonable price. I am very satisfied with my purchases, and plan to order more as I expand my participation in competitive Chuck Wagon cooking.

hat
Nice Hat...but its made in China and not as authentic as you made it out to be..So I'd re-think the wording of that one.

So cute!
This shirt is lovely! Gives the perfect victorian look to my steampunk costume. It's exactly what I wanted and the shipping to Italy was super-fast! In one word: awesome!

Awesome!
I needed this skirt for a steampunk costume and it's absolutely stunning! Lovely thick cotton that's really comfortable to wear. The sizing is good, the overall quality great! And I got my order in a week even if I live in Italy, safely delivered by UPS. I'm definitely delighted ^_^

perfect for sunny days
I have the black and the white bonnets. I wear them frequently and get lots of compliments. What I like the most is the little bit of stretch in the back. It stays on even in the wind without having to tie it under my chin. I wear them both ways. Perfect for hot summer days!

pretty enough to wear as a skirt
This petticoat is so pretty and so well made, I wear it as a skirt and I get lots of compliments. Because of the tie waist, it will fit whether I gain or lose. I will buy the white petticoat now that I know it's worth every penny!

So comfortable
I am very happy with these bloomers. I like that they have a tie waist. I do not like elastic waisbands. I will buy the white ones now that I know they are worth every penny!
