I was incredibly surprised at the speed of my item's delivery! With such great service (and advice for reversing polarities), I am positive that I will be ordering from Gentleman's Emporium again!

Quality products. Had to return 1 pair of slacks for larger size, but we did not follow the store's recommendation, first time around. Customer service had an excellent plan for returning and getting another pair, helped with quick turn around for a rush order. Just great.

the shipping and handling cost double the price of the item. I do not think the S&H charges are justified.

The quality of all the products is high. There are some concessions to modern materials, like plastic buttons.

I have been very pleased with the wide selections and very good quality. I wear your garments for everyday but not for re-enacting or thematic events. Your delivery promptness is admirable. I enjoy adding a western touch to various social occasions since we are in Amarillo.

We run a business called Live History Productions in Tasmania, Australia. We often need historical costumes for our plays. The Historical Emporium provides quality costumes at reasonable prices and they arrive really quickly despite coming from the U.S.A.

I had originally ordered a skirt and received prompt notification that it was not in stock. I chose to call to place an order and the woman I spoke with was courteous and friendly. A new garment was ordered and was shipped to me in two days. Awesome customer service! I will gladly come back for anything I may need.

I wanted a slightly customized item (different holster/belt combo than offered on the website). I emailed to see if this would be possible and received a very prompt response from Noel, who told me that I could get what I wanted if I placed my order by phone, and he informed me of a small extra charge for customizing the item. I called in my order and a week later I have my gun belt, just as promised.

The quality is very fine. The fit was a bit small, but the re-order came promptly and is good. The sizes on all items seemed to run small (except for the shirt). I am very pleased and look forward to wearing the ensemble. Thank you.

I had a general idea of what I needed. The customer support person was very helpful in helping me refine my selections without placing unwanted pressure to buy more. She was knowledgeable and courteous. She balanced the professionalism you must have with being personable and fun. Great selection and services. I'd like the prices to be a little lower, but the quality is excellent. I will be returning here for future purchases.

I actually had to ship the item back because I ordered one that was too big. When I called your customer service to see how to go about shipping it back and getting one that is the right size, the girl that I spoke to was extremely helpful. Now I am just waiting on the 38" belt to be shipped out of your store in San Jose. I really liked the quality and looks of the belt and holster. Looking forward to receiving it in the mail.

I was referred to western Emporium by the manufacturer of a particular western style shirt, I was unable to find in the size I needed at Boot Barn due to it being back ordered/out of stock. I was told the shirt wouldn't be available till 10/30/14. The person I dealt with on the phone clearly has excellent customer service skills and explained the process without having to ask. I placed the order over the phone and immediately received an email confirmation of the transaction. The shirt arrived ahead of time.. I am 100% satisfied with every part of the process.

I was EXTREMELY PLEASED with everything about my shopping experience with your company. I also placed an order the same day from ANOTHER company for dresses and had a horribly disappointing and dishonest and arrived -too-late experience with them. So your company not only saved the day, but the hats and goggles I bought were worn and loved by each of us who wore them. Gentlemen's Emporium ROCKS!!! I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Gentlemen's Emporium to anyone looking for these types of items!! Very high quality hats and fast shipping. I can't say enough good things, especially compared to my experience with another Victorian clothing choice. Order from Gentlemen's Emporium with confidence. Thank you so much for the great service and products! We will be back for more!

I was thrilled to finally find the right clothes for my husband to wear during the music festivals at Lincoln's New Salem Historic Village in Petersburg, IL. And he was very happy with the entire outfit after he learned how to handle all those buttons and suspenders. The clothese are very comfortable to wear!

I did order a size 36 on the pants and it is extremely tight. I fit into 36 in every other brand but yours seems to run small.

The vest size is as stated. The color of the back is darker than what the pic on the website shows but is still very nice. Delivery time shorter than expected. I'm very pleased with the vest which I purchased for a wedding and definitely buy another product from you.

Perfect fit and shipped quickly
The shirt was perfect. Got it sooner than expected, perfect sizing, the sleeves were long enough (usually a problem) The fabric appears to be pretty sturdy I like it! I would buy another if I needed it.

Delightful ascot
Nicely made. Was surprised to find the matching pocket square. Here in Amarillo events such as symphony find large numbers in western wear (no ties) so I like the touch of color with the ascot. Several compliments.

Great Skirt
As advertised! High quality material, beautiful colour, and wonderful style! I suppose if I must pick something to be 'unhappy' about is the size. Perhaps that is just me, and not the skirt itself, but the top is a bit loose. The zipper seems somewhat odd, too, but I cannot place how. Overall I would say buy it! I am glad to add this to my wardrobe!

WESTERN GUN BELT AND HOLSTER
Very nice well crafted, only complaint is the piece of leather that is suppose to go over the hammer doesn't on mine. Other than that it is everything I wanted and more. Just have to find a piece of leather to hold my 357 ruger blackhawk in this beautiful holster.

Excellent Value
The quality of the construction is very good, using silk for the front panels and also covering the buttons. It feels and looks more expensive than it was. It runs true to size an over-all great value

Set Piece
The telescoping tubes are not tight enough and makes it wobble, and the lens does not focus but it was purchased as a decoration piece so it was okay. quality of the finish is good but the storage leather-like tube is a little cheap looking

Oct 10, 2014
Color
This is a fine vest, though the actual color is quite different from how it appeared on my monitor. It looked like it would be the color of natural canvas, yet it is more of a putty or pale taupe color.

Deluxe Safari Bush Jacket
Much higher quality garment than I expected for the price. It is unlined, but that is just fine for the hot steamy swamp we call Florida! I plan to use this as a light everyday jacket as well as a costume. As other reviewers have noted, the belt buckle is plastic and cheap looking, but I'll be wearing it open for the most part.

Canvas Field Trousers
Fine quality trousers and the fitting instructions were spot-on. I have a bit of a beer-belly and so ended up ordering a four inch larger waist than modern pants, but the fit is excellent and comfortable! The high waist also makes standard suspenders too long, putting the adjustment clasps up over my shoulders! I only wish that more inseam sizes were available... I'm six feet tall and still had to trim almost six inches off the legs!

Perfect fit, well styled
Thanks for this hat. While I don't find the tweed fabric itself very interesting, the hat is styled and cut exactly as I wanted. The size, too, is very true. I'm truly fond of my new hat, and I don't mind saying that I've tried quite a few that didn't meet my tastes. Customer service is very good.

The shirt arrived within three days of ordering! The fit was fantastic and comfortable. I have been looking for a site that provides quality and I've found it. I would recommend Historical Emporium to any and all, and will be purchasing goods from them in the near future.

I'm very impressed with the quality of this cap keeps my head cmpletely dry in the rain and you can even see the rain dripping off of it. Others tha I have owned had a similar effect however the quality and tightness of the weave puts this one head and shoulders above the others.

See and be seen!
Face it, Steampunk is all about being seen, as well as the inherent playfulness. This hands-free eye loupe will undoubtedly draw some admiring attention from the knowledgeable, but the beauty is that it is also very useful. The comfortable hands-free band allows you to use both hands for your 'work,' and it turns out the lens is a 10X lens! So it's obviously useful for really checking fine details. I'm considering getting a second one for a back-up! Ron M in Virginia

Cashmere Wool Scarf
I was very impresed with the quality of the Cashmere Wool Scarf. It exceeded my expectations. I purchased it as a gift for my best friend who loved it as much as I did. Everyone that saw it assumed that I paid a lot of money for it because of the quality and that it was hand crafted-100% Cashmere. I have and will continue to tell all my friends and family about Historical Emporium.

good quality
Good quality. But I thought the frock coat was thicker. And therefore heavier. For countries other than USA, attention to tax in the country where we live. I advise you to wear something warm with the frock for autumn or winter. He carries it well with jeans! (sorry for my English, I am bad)

Nice piece of costume jewelry
I love the look of this watch, and it's easy to get mesmerized watching the works "tick". At this price, I'm SURE it's not really gold (probably "gold tone"), but it's close enough for me. The hands are a very fine and small, so it's a little hard to read in dim light, but then how many times will I be doing THAT? Keeps good time, and completes my "Old West" look nicely. As always, delivery was prompt. Thank you Gentleman's Emporium--I'll be back.
