The vest was a gift for a grandson 500 miles away. I hope he loves it. I was very impressed with its style and high quality fabric and stitching.

I just want to tell you how easy it was to find, order and purchase the mechanical watch I had been looking for. The process was user friendly, quick and I received my watch before the actual date it was to arrive. Thank You

This was my first time ordering. I had numerous questions and customer service was spot on with the answers. The sizes were accurate. The customer comments were helpful in making my decisions. I have always been skeptical of ordering clothes especially boots that I can't try on first. In the words of the terminator I will be back.

I called gentlemansemporium.com first...the see if they could accommodate my needs of delivery time before odering. I got Eve in customer service..she was helpful and we went over the what the purchase would be and the estimated time. Everything was very smooth..very easy..the only complaints I would have would be the standard shipping charges start rather high in ordering small soft goods..and..my sleeve garters where too big...but sadly that is my own fault for having arms too skinny...the experience was great...have already sent the link to two others for their needs

I work for a world wide organization that cares of the graves of war dead. The 14-18 period celebrates the one hundredeth anniversary of WW1 and the 75th anniversary of WW2. I wanted something that looked like period dress fro WW1 commemorative events and I found that the Gentleman's Emporium had the products that I needed. The quality was excellent and the price was exceptional.

After I placed my order, I received a confirmation email and then shipping information was communicated. The item arrived on time; I opened the sturdy shipping box to find another sturdy box nestled inside. The item was well protected. There was no need to contact customer service as the entire shopping process--from placing the order to receiving the product--was flawless.

I first contacted customer services via email, and then by phone and talked to Eve, and she was most helpful with the preparation and dispatch my order, because, as you dont post to Spain, I had to have the order dispatched to the UK. The only drawback with this was that I had to pay import duty plus vat, which bought the actual purchase price up to what I would have normally paid for similar items. The actual items that I purchased, I must say, are first class and all fit perfectly, are well made and should last a lifetime. I will be purchasing further items from you, but will have them posted to the USA to save on import duties.

When one of the items I recently ordered turned out to be on back order I was concerned about not having the item in time for our event and I called customer service. I was helped in making a quick substitution by a very helpful and courteous person and then the item was received just a few days later. I have continued shopping at the Gentleman's Emporium again and again because my experience has always been so positive. A big thank you!!

Calista Coat
I love the coat. It is well made. The fit is great, I'm 5'10" and have a hard time fitting sleeves. The style of the sleeve is a little longer so it still fits me.

Splendid striped trousers
These trousers fit as if they were tailor-made for me. My wife likes them very much indeed, and they are perfect wear for my Steampunkery. My normal waist size is 32", your recommendation to go for the next size up (34") fits me perfectly, thank you.

Poorly Made
The right side is cut significantly larger than the left. There is extra material around the arm hole. Either I pay to return it or pay to have it tailored.

Beauty in Black
I bought this skirt to wear for an event at the museum that I volunteer at. It is a mourning tours event and we must be all in black. The skirt is beautiful and very well made. Has a good weight to it and will work for casual to dressy occasion dressing. As always very pleased with my purchase.

My tie
I tried the tie on only once so far and it tends to slip or spin a little. It could be because of the shirt I was wearing at the time (polo) just to try it on for size. I purchased the tie for my second wedding and don't plan on wearing it much after, but I will keep it around for special occasions or maybe costume parties.

Its a pith helmet
It's a pith helmet. It is NOT a replica of a British Army helmet. Rather its a newly made pith helmet that runs no larger than about 7 1/2 (and that would be real tight). Its the same helmet you get elsewhere for $50-70. If you want an 1800is to early 1900ish "explorer" style helmet- dang this is a GREAT DEAL! The only down side is the fittings and strap are closer to a cheap pleather than leather.

Fell in love
I have been seeing these shoes on people at events for a while now, and am very excited to own a pair of my own. From the moment these were on my feet, I knew I was in heaven. I was so happy I called to thank the Service team personally. Trust me, if you want this style of shoe, buy them and wear them all the time. You will not regret it!

50 year anniversary
I purchased this vest, a Virgil shirt, and a black satin puff tie to wear to my 50 year wedding anniversary. The quality of all items was beyond excellent and fit and finish was to a "T". I will be adding to these items as time goes on to compliment my cowboy action shooting hobby. Thanks again !!

Aviator Leather Cap
good product, but color did not work for me with other items that I had already purchased. I am returning.... but thanks for you assistance. Also note, strap is too short for easily securing this cap. (or I have a really big head).

vest
Dear customer service, the vest that i ordered is very nice. The one problem is, in the pictuer you are advertising emerald green but when i recieved it the color was more of a forest green. The impression you gave me is that you ran out of emerald green what is advertising and fulfilling the order with a different shade green which is not excepted. In my wardrobe i do have shade of emerald green which is almost identical to that in the picture, but what i recived was another shade green. Please listen to your customers.

Excellent product
First time trying this company on the web, was a little leery of ordering online and what the product would actually be. We were very happy overall and very pleased with our derby hat. It was my son's first hat of this type and was so excited when it arrived on time. He was extremely pleased with it. The hat is made of quality materials and workmanship. It truly is what they say it is. We will be back and love this site.

I would pick no stars if I could
Terrible quality and not even worth the price in shipping. I could get better quality at Kmart. I will never buy anything from them again. Do not order anything cause you will be charged the shipping and the shipping to get it back. You will lose money.I am having to pay shipping to me and back to them. I hope at least I will get the cost of the product.

comfortable
Love this skirt, fits perfect, right size exactly and stays in place. Always look clean and professional. I wear while teaching in 1904 and it is the best look and fit possible. Even when making butter and spilling it on the skirt, it washed out perfectly and the skirt still looks new.

Perfect vest
I purchased this vest to go to a party and it was a instant favorite. Everyone loved it. The material is strong without being too heavy. The look is classic and authentic. Real pockets for accessories is a huge plus for me.
