I needed a shirt to start my steampunk outfit. I had to call the company because of an issue with my credit card. The customer service I received was top-notch! My shirt arrived in a most timely fashion and I'm very pleased with the quality! I will definitely be ordering from these folks in the future!

For period style men's wear Gentleman's Emporium offers a good value. Although the products are not fine tailoring they are good looking and affordable.

Though I am from New Jersey, I will be attending a wedding in Jerome Arizona next month. Wanted some attire to fit the bill. W.E.'s website was the perfect place to shop. Many great choices. Love the 'Gambler' shirt I purchased, can't wait to wear it out west ............... and will try and show it off back here on the Jersey shore too! Thanks W.E.!

Very easy ordering process and quick delivery. Ordered a vest for a wedding in June and it was delivered in less than a week. It was a little more than what I wanted to pay, but the quality is excellent.

We live in the UK and love purchasing our western clothing items from you. The service is amazing and consider the delivery so fast out of the US. A bit longer when it reaches here, but no fuss, no bother and easy instructions should we have to return an idea. Well done!

Very good edwardian/Victorian costume items. Some have been tantalizingly discontinued. Order and payment confirmation very prompt. No-quibble return policy very refreshing. Delivery times/costs are disappointing, but that is a matter of geography.

Shirts were great except black one had hanger and tag inside that said it was a western shirt. My husband is King of the Krewe of Lafitte which is an 1800's pirate Krewe He was not happy thinking it was a western shirt but I talked him into using it because the shirt is awesome. We ordered two Capitano hats and both came in with wrinkles in top I had to take them to a the lady that makes our costumes to get it the wrinkles out. I suggest you but a carboard form inside before shipping otherwise the hat is perfect and is the only one that we have found anywhere that looks like Jean Lafitte Thanks for your service

I've ordered a cotton work type pants that I love and meets my needs to a " T ". I bought a pair of black dress pants that were too small. However, the return was easy and the correct size came quickly. ( I ordered the wrong size. ) I WILL be ordering again. I work as a tour guide and everything I've purchased gets greatt commits from tourist that visit our plantations.

Wonderful quality clothing. Very impressed and happy with my purchases and will definitely buy from the Emporium again! Best part is, the clothes are so well done and classy, after my cosplay is done, I plan on wearing them as every day clothes. Thank you so much!

I am a professional costume designer and use Gentleman's Emporium often. I have always been extremely satisfied with the items I receive and how quickly I receive them. The quality is durable and can uphold heavy performance schedules. While I did recently have a problem with not receiving one of the items I ordered, (this had never happened before), the customer service person I spoke with was quick to find the source of the problem and get the package overnited to me at no additional charge. Overall I give them 5 starts for quality as well as customer service.

I ordered a couple of different styles of the mustaches/moustaches. I was pleased with the quality of the product received. I had almost always had a LARGE mustache, and due to cancer I couldn't grow one anymore. This was the solution I was looking for, friends that had always known me with one, they thought that this was great. I don't know why I didn't find you earlier. Now getting older I will be ordering some with the hints of grey. The mustaches look normal, and I love playing jokes on my coworkers by putting them on and taking them off all in the same day.

Great period pants
The cut and fabric are great for some authentic looking period style and sturdy pants.

Excellent, high quality!
The belt came to me exactly as pictured. It has that great genuine leather smell, wonderful color and craftsmanship. I love that the pockets are extra secure with zippers in addition to the snaps. It's the perfect accessory, even on top of puffy skirts or dresses- don't think it's just for pants! Very functional; fits my wallet, phone, keys, camera and more. I don't need to carry a camera bag or purse with me anymore when I wear my costume out.

Great shirt
Gambler shirt was just what I was looking for. Attending a wedding in Arizona next month, this shirt will be perfect. Fits great and very comfortable material.

Wedding attire
Was looking for something unique for a semi-formal garden wedding because I hadn't planned to wear a coat, so I wanted a vest that really stood out and looked great, not only from the front, but from the back, too. The Kendall Vest in brown caught my eye, but when it arrived (very quickly, I might add) it was even better in person than in the photos. It fit perfectly and looks great with the Arlington puff tie and silver pocket watch that my bride picked out.

Tight Fit
The Gloves were the perfect color for my needs, however, after doing the measurement of my hand I felt sure I would have an excellent fit. I did not. They are very tight. They still will go on, but just barely.

A Great Shirt From a Great Shop
Very impressed with this garment. The quality is wonderful and just the right size around the neck (most important to one who hates tight fitting shirts around the neck). The sleeves are outrageously too long but that's why the Historical Emporium also sell wonderful sleeve garters which give this shirt a truly classy look. I'm building up a wardrobe of clothes and this was my first purchase ... but by no means my last.

for costumes
these are really cool glasses, an they do a fine job of blocking light. Right out of the package they were too tight, so i had to bend the nose rest a bit to fit. After a time, they repeatedly warped, so that their structure is no longer as symmetrical as new. They are flimsy. If there were a case to keep them in, itd be fine, but their unique shape makes that impossible. I kept them hooked onto my front pocket, but they still warped.

Woven style
This is my 3rd skirt purchase from Historical Emporium. I again love it. I thought by the picture that the material would be thin. I didn't really read the description. To my pleasant surprise the material is more like a woven, extremely well made and comfortable. Love, love your site. Little by little I am building my wardrobe for my volunteer work. Thanks again.

Great shoes!
Beautiful shoe, he loves them! Extremely comfortable. It is very hard to find a leather-soled shoe in Australia. As we are having a vintage wedding, they will be perfect for dancing as well. Very courteous and quick service, easy ordering and decent sizes for big men! Highly recommend Historical Emporium!

Striped Trousers
Although quite long, as the description states, I am without a doubt extremely satisfied with these pants! It is literally the best money spent on a pair of pants in my lifetime. The fact that they sit higher on ones pelvis crests (waist) gives a comfortable feel. And I like that I can down the road purchases real suspenders. Even without suspenders the pants do not fall due to the tensioning strap in the lower back.

Utility Belt
Quality of the material makes it feel/look rustic which is perfect for the time period of Old Western 1800's! Fitment has many sizes due to notches in both belt buckles (Front & Rear). Pockets could be slightly larger but I don't plan on putting anything to bulky inside. Mainly I would use the side pockets for a cell phone and credit cards.

Men! Take control of your trousers!
Men! Are you sick and tired of today's pants? Those absurdly low cut creations seemingly designed to make your gut protrude like a sack of potatoes? Banish these fashion fiends from your life! Embrace the manful silhouette of the high-cut trouser! You will wonder why you have waited all this time!
