Bottomline . . .I got a vest in 3XLT. I'm 6'2'' w/ a long torso. Vest was big enough for sure, but NOT long enough. So I ended up paying like $18.00 Priority Mail both ways.

I was really satisfied with my order. It was delivered fast and the items are of great quality. Customer service was friendly and exchange/returns was super easy to conduct. I would recommend these guys and would certainly buy from them again.

I've purchased a number a things from Historical/Gentleman's Emporium in the past through someone, this purchase was in my own name. The clothing and hats and shoes, etc., are of nice quality, I have no complaints. My only issue is shipping. It seems the customer is charged way too much. I avoid ordering on line as much as possible because of shipping. If I were charged what USPS, FEDX and UPS actually charges, I would shop online much more frequently.

I was extremely pleased the price of my puff tie. I also was pleased with the delivery, it was on time and I appreciated been able to track it along the way. The transaction was done very professionally and I would recommend this company to anyone seeking costume or historical garments.

This was my first experience with your company. I paid for express shipping and received all items much sooner than anticipated. The clothing made quite a splash at a party I attended. It was very pleasant to dress out of the norm; however, no one noted that the clothing was from a past era. The quality was good. Thanks.

This was my first time ordering from your company, and while there was a delivery issue, it was 100% the fault of UPS and not you. When I contacted your company concerning this issue, I was immediately taken seriously and treated with complete respect and the issue was quickly resolved to my total satisfaction. I highly encourage anyone to deal with your company if they want to deal with an honest and reputable business. I am also highly satisfied with my order. The fit was perfect and the quality was much higher than expected. I definitely plan on ordering much more from you in the future.

My holster/gun belt is as nice as I was hoping it would be. So nice I bought a Cross-Draw holster to go with it. Then another revolver. I will refer people to Emporium.

I've been buying from the Gentleman's Emporium for a while now, and I love their customer service. It's fast and reliable, but the latest products I bought took just over a week to get delivered, though. Normally it's delivered in two days. They're still a wonderful company, though, and I would recommend them for anyone that is in the need for something classy.

Excellent Service Indeed Product was received within the time line mentioned. Product price plus shipping cost to Canada was outstanding. Crossed into Canada without any extra Customs or Postal charges directly to my Door was unbelievable. Looking to place another order with your company whenever the exchange dollar rate comes closer to Par. between USA & Canada. ROGER/

Gentleman's Emporium was a god send. I was looking for a green velvet smoking jacket for my dad, who is 6 foot 3 and has a bit of a tummy. I contacted the company about sizes and they were helpful and said I could easily exchange if the size wasn't right. But the fit was perfect, and the price of the jacket was very good relative to others I found on the internet. The jacket looks great and was the perfect Christmas gift. I would definitely return in the future if I need other specialty gifts like this.

Perfect Fit
This jacket was a last minute purchase for my Steampunk costume. I was a bit over ambitious in thinking I could sew my own jacket. The jacket was a perfect fit and paired very well with my costume. The jacket can easily be worn with a pair of jeans. I look forward to shopping with Historical Emporium again.

Very classy
I am more than pleased with this beautifully made suit. It's perfect for the part I'm playing, and it arrived in just two days! I have narrow shoulders, so I had to do a bit of adjusting, removing the stiffened tulle and tacking down some of the extra fullness so I wouldn't look like a linebacker. I've already decided that this suit isn't going into the general costume storage--it's staying in my closet!

Holster issue
I was very happy with the quality and workmanship in the black western holster I received, however there was black die on the inside of the buckle strap and it came off on my hands, clothes and pearl handle. I have tried everything to get the die off the strap but have been unsuccessful. Any suggestions? Editor's Note: Due to the special tanning process, used in the creation of the gun leather, some color transfer may occur. We recommend that you lay the gun belt and holster out in a warm, dry location prior to first wearing to allow any excess dye that might still remain to be absorbed.

Warm and Durable
Enjoying this vest very much! Fabric is durable and high quality. I tend to wear these vests to work (I'm an arborist and an educator) and these are stylish while standing up to being outdoors. This particular vest pairs well with jackets and allows me to keep the jacket open or only partly closed, increasing my range of movement before clothes bind me and still keeping me warm in winter. Only complaint I have is that the back is cut slightly higher than I'd like, even with high-waisted arborwear pants the bottom edge is above the belt line.

Splendid!
I brought the classic canvas trousers as a Christmas present for my son and he was very pleased with them. The fit is good as is the quality. If you ever think of expanding please come to the UK as we don't have anything to compare with your fabulous Emporium.

Perfection
I was quite interested in getting this vest from the picture, but when it arrived I was astounded by the fit and quality of the item. No flimsy thin material here! This vest is made to last and look darn good doing it! I will be ordering another in a different color soon.

Purchased to wear for the unveiling and dedication of a historic 36-star civil war flag. Perfect for a period costume.

Couldn't be Happier
Very pleased with the fit and quality of the trousers. I read other peoples feedback and did all the measurements and, being somewhat robust, actually added two sizes above my normal size and they fit perfectly. There is certainly no denying the quality and construction - very well made and double stitched. Like the company says, they are made long but hemming to suit was no big deal. These are great pants. Super quality and fantastic fit and comfort. I use them for Single Action Cowboy shooting, but am considering another pair for general duties around the yard. Paired with braces they are so much more comfortable than modern style pants & belt.

Very Nice. As nice as I was hoping it would be. So nice I bought a matching Cross-Draw holster and another revolver to go with it. I will recommend Emporium to my friends.

My canvas vest was much higher quality than I expected. Love it! But what really made the purchase special were the amount of positive responses from others. I was amazed.

cheap, cheap
Very disappointed at the cheap fabric, its thinness, blah-drab colour (how can you call it khaki???come on!) and the incredibly cheap-imitation-looking belt buckle. Based on your blurb, I was considering whether to stock up, buy more for friends etc. After receiving the jacket, I certainly will not. Perhaps people whose idea of a replica garment is something to wear once to a Halloween party will be satisfied with this. For someone actually seeking a serious quality midseason jacket, that can be worn on safari as your posting implies, this jacket aint it.

Love it!
Maybe it is because I am not a coat connoisseur, but I can find nothing wrong with this coat! Every inch of it is in perfect condition, from the lining, to the stitching. It is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you so much!

Twin City Vest
Received within del. dates shown (as has happened with everything else I have bought). The vest is everything you said it would be in colour and material. It helped that I already owned a red version of the same vest. They make a fine addition to my mid 19th century garb that I wear when making my presentations at the local Historic Village and at the Seniors' Residences where I make historic presentations. I will also wear it for St Patrick's day.

Deluxe Felt Derby -brown
Good hat, size is spot on. I'm a 7 3/8 and it's always a bit of a crap-shoot whether or not the generic s, m, l, xl sizing will fit, but this one's right on the money. I'm a daily hat wearer also, and have received numerous compliments on the hat, to the point that I'm surprised if someone doesn't mention it when I'm out and about. I'd definitely purchase it again and will shop here again the next time I'm in the mood for vintage style. Thanks!

These suspenders are great. I have already received many compliments on them. I have the black set too but these brown really have a vintage vibe to them. In the hand, they don't look special but paired with some vintage pants and shirt and they look great!

Great value for price
This jacket is terrific - made the perfect Christmas gift for my tall, elderly father who had recently said he always wanted a jacket like this. Excellent quality and fit, and at a very reasonable price - I shopped around the internet extensively and this site's prices and product offering were the best.
