My experience with your company was totally satisfactory, actually above all expectations. The product was just what I wanted; the price was very good; and the time from order to receipt was excellent. It's good to know you are out there and I will be doing business with you again if the good master is willing, the creek doesn't rise and the Yankess don't attack us again! Thank you for your service and products. Larry S.

The quality is excellent and the clothes were well worth the price. I was extremely happy with the customer service that I received. I had to return one shirt as it was too small for my daughter and she decided she preferred a different style. The return was handled extremely promptly which was impressive, given this was during the Christmas season. The sizes of the clothes do run a little on the small side so it is worth buying a size up from what you would normally buy.

The holster and belt met all my expectations. The black leather allows me to show off my stainless, 45 long-colt with the stag antler grips. It is eye-popping.

I discovered your web site just before Christmas and found a hat that I had been looking for to purchase for my husband. I never expected it to arrive in time for Christmas and the expected delivery date was January 5th. To my surprise a delivery arrived only a few days later and it was the hat (the Homburg). It is beautiful and well made. I will definitely shop here again!

To prepare for my wedding I actually purchased two ascot ties. The black/red was ordered first and we loved it. Then we changed the colors, so we ordered the cream one. LOVED IT! We decided on the cream tie for the wedding but will keep the other for a future event. Both are very gentleman like. Something we dont see much where I am from. So he's sure to turn heads. Thanx for the lovely items and prompt delivery.

The items I purchased were a Christmas gift for my husband. Unfortunately the items were too large and I needed to exchange them. The website had all of the information I needed on how to make the return. Based on the timeline and need for the items for a tour, I re-ordered the items and then returned the unwanted items. The new items arrived within 3 days, in plenty of time for the tour and I received the credit for the return a few days later. The delivery of the new item and the return item was processed timely.

Navigating the web site and ordering was easy and fast. Delivery time was extremely fast especially during the holidays. I used their sizing charts and the sizes of the clothing I currently wear to determine the sizes. I look good in my outfit, hopefully good enough to be married in.

After receiving the vest I went to a local tailor shop to have one of the pockets deepened so I could put my new large smartphone in the pocket and after looking the vest over the tailor commented on how well made the vest was. I though you'd like to know.

I had a great experience with Gentleman's Emporium! Customer service was very helpful with some sizing questions. I like my clothes to fit a little long and roomy, which is exactly what I received. Essentially, I ordered a coat, vest, pants (Highland Collection), suspenders, shirt (Laborers) and a grey slouch hat to look like Walt Whitman about 1870. I already have the long white hair and beard, so this set completes the look. I will wear this especially when I'm teaching Whitman's poetry but I like to wear Period clothing whenever I'm in the mood. Thanks!

Very nifty!
I really like this item! great for my steampunk attire. However, they don't fit very well on my glasses because of their design (the glasses, not the magnifiers)

What a Surprise!
When this vest arrived in the mail I was surprised at the quality of the item. The canvas is durable, the buttons are actual metal, and it is surprisingly comfortable. The only snag is that it was a little short as I stand at 6' 2". Would be nice to have tall sizes on this but im not going to harp on it

Excellent retro wardrobe addition!
I purchased this vest as a gift for my husband. It is quality made with a great fit on a big guy. It goes perfectly with his suspenders and linen pants. I loved the integrity and service of the company as well. I'll definitely do business with them again!

We bought these boots to go with the cassandra dress for my daughter's Prom and we were not disappointed! We were especially pleased that we could find them in her size as at 6 feet tall she has size 12 feet and it's not easy finding pretty and feminine footwear. Thanks for the quick service and quality products.

Nicre hat
This was a very nice hat, but the sizing runs way large. I ordered an Extra Large according to their stated measurements. When it arrived I found that I would have to wear a stocking cap over my head in order for this hat to fit. What a shame. I returned the hat.

I was amazed at how impressively shiny this tie is. I absolutely love the gold color and design. It looks especially fine when paired with a light blue shirt and a blue vest of a darker shade. It's made of durable and quality fabric that will last.

Absolutely excellent!
This vest is a piece of art in itself. It fit me perfectly once I had consulted with the size chart. Anyone who gets a size too big or small has only themselves to blame for it. The only thing I can possibly think of that is not in this vest's favor it the button are felt rather than a sturdier metal and sometimes fight you for trying to button them but this is a small price to pay.

Very nice cap!
I got this to wear with the sleeveless bathing tunic but I also like to wear it with other outfits and I think it works very well with a Lolita maid outfit, it's very cute, I am very satisfied!

Very nice bathing suit!
I bought this to swim in in the summer, I can't wear it yet since I live where we get harsh winters, but in July I will be able to wear it, I am curvy and weigh 220 and got a 3X and it fits beautifully, my only issue is the pantaloons don't come in my size and I can't find any anywhere else or make them, so I had to make do with a normal bathing suit bottom, but I got anchor print and it fits very well with it. I even think this suit would make a cute top to wear anytime, I am very satisfied!

Very nice and sturdy. After ordering a pair from Amazon for less than half the price, I had to return them due to very poor quality. Not so with these! Very nice and dressy enough to wear with a pair of khakis to the office. I'll be ordering some more colors.

Monocular
I bought this for my dad & he loves it but wished the lens wasn't cracked. I called company and told them about damage and they sent out another one asap but that one was cracked as well. Since no one seems to look at the item before it ships I give them 2 stars. I'm sure had I called again requesting a replacement they would have done so but I work 75 hours per week and don't have time for the nonsense. So would I buy again from the company? Answer: no. Inspect the item before it ships isn't to much to ask for.

stunning
charles hubert makes gorgeous pocket watches, very reminiscent of the victorian period. this one is beautiful and large, with an easy to read face. it keeps excellent time. the embossed designs on the front and back make it stand out, and also it resists fingerprinting. any pocket watch by charles hubert makes a lovely gift, or heirloom. it's fantastically rare to find something like this of real quality, that was not made in china.

lovely coat
this coat skims the body, fitting beautifully, and it has a lovely drape to the fabric. it's easy care, as well. it has a bit of stretch to it. the sizing information seems to be spot on, as always.

Gun belt and holsters
I really don't know were to begin, when I ordered the set of holsters and belt, I was told that it would take a couple of month before they could be delivered. I was amazed when with in less than a month they were delivered to my door. I was absolutely taken by the beauty and workmanship I saw when I opened the box. The belt and holsters are everything that I wanted, and more, I know they will last me for a lot of years, and still be beautiful. Thank you for your quick service, and quality of product. be sure if I am in need of any other product you handle, I will be in contact. Thanks again. Dave

Does not fit .45 LC
This appears to be a very well made and is a beautiful holster and belt but it does not actually fit .45 pistols as stated. It is too narrow for an Uberti or Ruger .45LC to properly seat into. Did contact customer service though, hoping I could just exchange the holster as the belt fit perfectly, but they said all are the same and to just return for refund. Suspect this had happened many times as they were not surprised at all it didn't fit or that concerned? Too bad, beautiful holster! Just not functional

Although the crown is taller than I had anticipated, it is correct. The look goes well with a sport coat. Ladies are fascinated and stare at the hat as they pretend to talk with me.

Perfect Walt Whitman hat!
Although this was slightly large I placed a foam hat strip inside the band and now it fits fine. Rather than go through the hassle of sending it back and wondering if the next size down was going to be too small, this solution has always worked for me.

Disappointment
Oh my goodness! I have had wool shirts that have more weight than this coat! At this price point I would have expected a real coat. I am not exaggerating here. I was shocked. Way over-priced. The fit was also very crazy. The site said to order the next size smaller than your actual size if you are not going to wear it over another coat, which I did. In fact they only offer one size smaller than what I ordered. The shoulders of this coat landed half way to by elbows. If you are looking for a huge black shirt and want to pay way too much money for it; this one is for you.

measurements ??
I like the trousers but would like them even more if they fitted me. Despite following your explicit measuring formula exlicitly, the tousers were so big that i could have fitted myself into them twice. I had the trousers as a gift from my wife on Christmas day. You can imagine her disappointment when i unpacked my present. After having paid import duty and the shipping cost they became a rather expensive pair of trousers which I can't use. Dissapointment all round. As we don't live just around the corner (Europe) it's too difficult to come around to exchange them for a smaller pair that would fit me and too expensive. So here we are, i'm stuck with them. May I suggest that you review your measuring chart, or, if the chart is correct check that the garment measures up the the size on the label. It's a pity that things didn't turn out as we had hoped.

Beautiful Quality
This was bought as a gift for my son. Am hesitant to purchase things like this from the internet. But he really wanted this particular holster. I was pleasantly surprise!!! Received it quickly and was a beautiful piece of workmanship. My son was extremely pleased with the gift. Would definitely recommend this to anyone considering purchasing it.

Better than others
These don't slip off my shoulders like most others. I think it's because the union in the back is higher. I'm in and out of bouncy equipment all day, and the clip suspenders keep coming unclipped, so the buttons are a good idea. Who decided to do away with buttons on work pants? Also, the fabric in them has a little give to it, but it's not totally elastic like some of the modern suspenders, which get longer and longer as the elastic wears out. I do wonder if the leather button slits will wear out over time.

Sturdy
I bought them for work at my sawmill and will buy more. They look durable and are really comfortable. A zipper would be nice, but buttons are ok. Blue jeans are made for skinny kids who have time and free hands to pull their pants up all day. These ride higher; over the hips instead of on the hips. Do NOT order your blue jeans waist size when you order these. Do like they say and take a tape measure to your belly button. You can take a few inches off that, but not many.
