I was actually stunned at the quality of the clothing I purchased. It was not just a good costume, it was truly good quality.

The products I bought were high quality and the sizes were perfect. The advice on the website was great (eg I take size 9 shoes, but that is US size 10). The glove conversion that I did from from inches to centimetres was perfect. I couldn't ask for better and the delivery time was very quick (USA to Australia), I think it was barely one week from me placing the order.

Previous purchases of similiar pith helmet did not compare to the quality of our recent order....we are extremely satisfied and have already shared the other 3 hats with our fellow SC gardeners ! We will be ordering additional ones for holiday and occasion gifts for our neighbors and church friends...

I love the vest , it's looks and the kind of leather it is. Do you have any that resemble the rough cowhide look?

I had questions on whether a ladies vest would coordinate with a man's vest. I appreciated the recogmentation of the salesclerk, when I called for advice. The clothes are exactly what we wanted! Thanks!

Outstanding quality items, intelligent and polite customer service. Everything was shipped in ready to wear condition, not sadly wadded as most places online sell clothes. I can recommend the Emporium shops to anyone.

An excellent experience. Everything was as described and arrived on time. Free shipping was the incentive to 'get it now'. The cutaway coat fit like you tailored it for me. Your exceptionally high quality and fine staff earned ME kudos! Thanks!

I am a professional actor with a national theater company. The clothing and accessories from the Gentlemen's and western Emporiums are absolutely first rate. I would recommend them as your first stop for authentic costuming.

I was shocked my order took only one day. I didn't realize you were in San Jose but you got the entire order out very quickly. I returned a tie that didn't work with the outfit. It was processed very quickly and refunded very quickly. Way above and beyond. I've been telling people about the site.

The product is extremely excellent quality and does fit perfectly, the only thing I wish I could have done before hand was try it on before purchasing just to see if the fit was what I wanted. Luckily, everything was exactly as I wanted.

great buy
I thought the Brass /Walnut Cane I just purchased was a great buy both in quality of product and style. I just had total Knee replacement surgery 5 days ago and just returned from the hospital. I plan to use the cane as part of my re-hab process as soon as I finish with the walker in about a week. My PT therapist said she thought it look very elegant and I agree. I will likely use it after I don't need it.

Wonderful in every way
I just recently purchased these gauntlets for use in both an upcoming pirate festival and work in Boston nighttime tours. They are absolutely perfect: the images of them represent them accurately, the fit on the hand is just right, and what's more important is they make you look darn good. They need a few wears to break them in as I found the leather to be a little stiff but all the reason more you know they're good. I'd recommend them to anyone and everyone.

Awesome
The vest was very great quality!!! It was amazing I was very satisfied! I wore it my first day back to school and I think I made an impression I got many compliments and saw many signs of envy This isn't a costume it's a real suit It's a little boxy on me since I'm a girl but other than that it was absolutely fabulous

I recently attended a showing of "The Bride of Frankenstein." These gloves were the perfect accessory to my vintage lab coat. The perfect item for helping me carry my "Abnormal Brain" specimen. The quality and fit were excellent. An incredible deal for the money. Thank you so much. Dr. Frankenstein

made in USA
This vest is ok ..not great like I expected from such a reputable source. Actually looks like it was sewn in China.. :( it has darts in the front, that's fine but they are short sewn and make the sides pucker. We needed the vest on short notice..our fault, or else we would have sent it back. Although it is pretty and the buttons are really nice.

The hat is very beautiful and quite a bargain for the price! I usually take smaller sizes and am very hard to fit. The hat looks and fits very nicely.

choose 1 size up
I am very happy with the style and construction of these pants but when they suggest you to buy 1 size up you should listen. I am a 34 inch waist but I ordered these in a 36 inch because of that tip and it was exactly right and the 36 inch waist fits me just right. The waist on these is higher than modern jeans / pants which is why the slightly larger size fits better. when I got these they were a bit too long to wear with my luchesse cowboy boots but after I washed them they shrank just a bit and now are a perfect fit with no modifications at all. These look great with the Wyatt shirt I also bought and I am very pleased with them.

style and comfort
I purchased this to wear under my hand made Ren Ellis buckskin jacket and it is the perfect compliment. very well made and looks great. plenty of pockets for my watch, glasses, pen and coins. I like the metal buttons and this waistcoat can be worn with a jacket or solo with jeans and looks great. Very happy with the purchase!

Excellent product
Got this for my historically minded 18 year old son, and he told me it is one of the best things I have ever purchased for him. He can wear it both for fun daily wear, and for re enactment work. Got the cool brown color, which works well with tan, cream, or brown trousers. Highly recommend.

fits a bit loose but very comfortable, good looking and well made. I particularly like the buttons and the breast pocket for my glasses. Great shirt and I will be buying more in the future.

excellent for pocket watch wearers
I purchased this vest so I can more frequently wear my grandfathers Hamilton pocket watch and the vest is excellent. Great construction and plenty of pockets for my watch (Hamilton 974 sidewinder from 1908) as well as glasses, pens notepad etc. I like this vest because it wears great with jeans and is durable for frequent wear. The lapels give it a nice style and I am very pleased with this purchase!

Great product
The vest was beautiful and very good quality. Fit leaned toward the smaller size, so if you are on the line, go with the larger size.

Quality Jacket
The Safari Bush Jacket was purchased for a Steampunk wedding and while I would have been happy with a decent item of costume attire, what I actually received from Historical Emporium was an outstanding, quality clothing item. It fits beautifully and is of a high fabrication standard. I couldn't be happier with this jacket and the great service provided by Historical Emporium. It did fit a little long but a quick stop at an alterations shop, it was professionally shortened for a small fee. I am very happy with this purchase.

The shirts are super ! Unfortunetaly, the fees and customs charges in my country (Belgium) are too exaggerated, that's why I replied that I couldn't probably buy again
