This is the second time we have ordered this peticular item. The workmanship and wear are great. We do however have a problem with the sizing, as indicated we went up one size when in actually it probably should have been two sizes. The way this pant fits so high makes the sizing off. Also the crotch is really long as my husband is short legged and only 5'9" which I'm guessing is rather short from the way these pants fit from the belly button to the crotch. This brings me to the extreme length of these pants, I understand sizing does not include a length measurement but holy moly I have to cut off nearly half the leg to make them close to fitting which is just wasteful.

Dear Friends, I could not be happier with my purchases from you !! This is the third shirt I've gotten, and all three were of the "American quality" I would expect from my fellow country men and women. I am now a customer for life and look forward to filling my closet with your "top of the line" clothing. Thanks a lot, and take good care !!

I'm putting together a Steampunk wardrobe and this vest fit the bill. Its quality and construction are top notch and it is exactly as described on the website! (And I even like the color!) This is the second item that I've ordered from the Historical Emporium and my satisfaction continues. I'll definitely be ordering more items in the future!

I was EXTREAMLY displeased with this item. I would have given it a -1 but the lowest choice I had was a 1. As a police officer, I have been carrying hand guns everyday for over 40 years now and this is the WORST holster I have ever seen. I have been doing Historical reenacting for over 30 years and it doesn't measure up in that hobby as well. However the staff at Historical Emporium was 100% on their game and quickly refunded my money. I am still a true blue customer and will continue patronizing this site. This holster was an anomaly and everyone is entitled to a flub once in a while.

it's very hard wool felt. Very stiff. Homburg's are hard to find so I am keeping it. I returned the tall wool derby (same hat company: Scala) as it was sized incorrectly (I would have retuned it anyway as it was just too hard and too round to work well even if it was sized right). I'm hoping I can work it a bit to make it more like it should be - a pain but I'll try. Can't really recommend the hat unless you, like me, seek a homburg and have been unable to find one.

Too small. Ordered what was supposed to be the right size but still too small. I find Scala hats inconsistent in size (across the line) and, unfortunately, consistent in quality - just okay. I returned the hat as it didn't fit but would have returned it anyway as its shape would have needed too much work (who has a round head, really?) to be comfortable and to fit correctly, even if the size was right. I returned another Scala hat for this reason a few months ago: right size but too hard, too round, and thus too uncomfortable.

I ordered 7 of these in various sizes for my daughters Barn Wedding. These vests fit as expected and look even better in person than they do online. The craftsmanship is wonderful and these look very sharp when worn. All of these vests shipped fast and were delivered in perfect condition. I am so happy we chose to place our order with Historical Emporium.

We love it, it fits very well and is the look we were striving for as my Groom!

Great quality, good service reasonable price.

This blouse was even nicer than I expected. I was very pleased! The satin and lace are so elegant and beautiful!

This a well made Leather Scabbard, I am very please with it as is a perfect for my favorite rilfe. I am so glad I found your website, I'll be back to buy. Great sales, service in progressing and shipping excellent as well. I am recommending you to all, THANK YOU!

Got what I paid for. They look as pictured. Lenses do not distort. Not "highest quality," but a good value. What more could you want?

good quality, well made, very comfortable, I will buy more

good but disconnects from pants too easily

This is a lovely coat and is, in fact, the second Veronica Frock Coat I own (I purchased the black version a few months ago). But I DO think you should warn your customers IN THE DESCRIPTION of the Coat that this garment runs VERY small. I originally ordered the black coat in a size two sizes larger than normal and it was still tight in the bust. Oh, it was lovely and becoming but it was definitely snug in the bust! While I'm very happy with my black Veronica coat - which I wear as a "coat dress" because it's so tightly fitted - I ended up having to exchange the gray coat for one two sizes larger. You see, I wanted to use the gray Veronica Coat as a real coat - to go over my actual clothes. But even though I ordered an even larger size this, it was still too tight in the bust to wear as a "real coat" rather than as a cute little "coat dress." By the way, have you received my RETURN package?

I owe several Straw Boater hats but this one by far exceeded my exceptions.

This is a beautiful shirt. It is a Fathers Day gift for my husband. I know he will love it. He is always happy with the shirts and vests I buy for him from Historical Emporium. Thank you for having the selection you do,

It looks terrific, although it's a tad larger, or wider than most modern bow ties. Overall, very stunning.

Everything was perfect regarding this purchase. The fit was good, I have a 46 chest, and the XL is fine.

Well made, HIGH quality stuff. I had no idea that this type clothing was available. I'm beginning to lose my already tenuous grip on reality and regressing to the Victorian era. Strangely, as I purchase and wear more clothing from this website, I have a harder and harder time seeing myself in photographs and mirrors........odd.

This hat is very sturdy and well made. It will last two months of highly active performances easily at regular wear and tear. Great fit and the crown is very high so it is excellent for that comic character!

These were purchased for a difficult-to-fit body type. They look great and are constructed very well. The fabric is very true to what you see in the image. Nice look and well stitched.

Sharp looking piece. Collapses into the largest section, to be more compact. Don't expect it to be real "functional" (doesn't magnify much) but looked fabulous hanging from a brass chain (not included) from my Steampunk "utility belt"!

Great little compass! I especially like the look of the black face against the shiny brass frame and markings. Looks fabulous hanging on my Steampunk "utility belt" by a brass chain (not included). It also seems to be fairly accurate to magnetic North.

This is a gorgeous skirt with lovely fabric and design! The only reason I didn't give it five stars is: 1) it runs a bit large. I ordered the 2x, which matched my measurements exactly, but it is actually an inch or two too large in the waist and hips and; 2) it is so long that I will have to shorten it by about 4 inches just to be floor length, but doing so will take considerable length off the flounces at the bottom and may effect the look of the style. While this is really my own fault, because the description did list the length as 43 inches, I'm mentioning it just to remind others to be aware of this (I am 5'5"and 156lbs).

The hat is very well made and hard to recognize as a "crushable"

These lace fingerless gloves were almost exactly what I was looking for...the exception was I wanted pale pink. But these will certainly do! I wanted them for my grandson's wedding, to complement the rest of my attire. Thank goodness you have an online site.
