We met with Noel at the San Jose warehouse and he helped us with our purchases. This was our second trip to the warehouse and we were pleased once again. I am a bit hard to fit so I like to try things on before purchasing. Noel was a great help and a pleasure to work with.

My contact at Historical Emporium was very pleasant. She was well informed of the products and advised me related to the sizes and availability. She detailed the shipping and the e-mail alerts. She was very efficient in taking my order. The e-mail shipping alerts were prompt, and concise. I do not know how the service could be improved. I highly recomend this establishment !

Nearly impossible to have a bad experience here. Between the helpful hints on sizing and the ease of asking questions, no one should have any excuse for not getting exactly what they want!

The item I bought was too large. Called for instructions to return and it was a simple solution and the exchange went perfectly. Great items and when I need other things I know where to go for them.

For my birthday I asked for some clothing from H.E. With a small delivery window, they still managed to ship everything in time AND with days to spare! I certainly enjoy shopping at this site and will continue to purchase from them. Thank you!

My duster is quite large so I inquired as to it's shrinkage. I got contradicting advice so I decided to keep it and see what happens when it's washed and dried in the dyer. It's a replacement for a linen duster that I've worn for years and it's possible that it also started out super huge. The duster is wonderful and excellent quality but simply quite big! We shall see what happens.

Gents Watch
Great Pocket Watch, has unique style; easy to read at a glance and See Through Front Cover. No worry about a battery, Mechanical Wind Up takes that issue out. Handsome design, style goes with any dress.

Awesome stache!
This is a high quality mustache, not a dime store cheapie. The California cancer warning was an unpleasant surprise, and the box it arrived in was cracked and kind of flimsy. But the product itself is very realistic!

.44/.45 cal. Western gun belt and holster RH draw-chocolate brown tooled leather
Very pleased with my purchase. The quality is much better than ones I have purchased from other places.

Great, but add a lining
The bathing suit looks great, however, it isn't thoroughly practical because it lacked lining. While many who purchase this product might not use it for swimming, I did; now I used it for a teaching lesson, but without the comments I read on the website, things would have been embarrassing. To solve the problem, I simply bought a red undershirt and red boxers. Everyone thought it was part of the bathing suit. Again, everything about the product was great, fit, color, and style, but without the lining, I would use with caution. Of course, I gladly told everyone who asked where I got it, so please keep making them.

(.44/.45 cal) High-Rider Western Cartridge Belt - Plain Brown Leather
Ordered this in dark brown and wanted to wear it the next day , but a note in the box said to lay it out to allow the stain to dry. After calling them they said it only applies to 2 other stain colors. So I was able to wear it after all right away. Very good quality, very happy with it and will order another one soon. Customer service was very polite and answered my question right away.

Gun Belt
I was overall very satisfied with the gun belt, I think taking the time to measure your upper waist is vital. I think the quality of the leather and the stitching made it worth the money I paid.

5 star spats
I bought 2 pairs of spats. 1 pair of brown, 1 pair of crimson (which are more of a burgandy color). The quality is first rate. The shipping was fast and the sizing is spot on. Gentleman's Emporium is one of my favorite web stores to shop at.

Very Happy
I am very happy with this skirt. It arrived earlier than anticipated even though I did not pay for expedited shipping. The adjustable waist fits perfectly and is comfortable. I am a petite and the length hits just below ankle with 1 1/2 -2 inch heels. The embroidery on the black is really pretty. The quality of the material is much nicer than you would expect at this price.

Classic Canvas Trousers
I am pleased to have found a shop that has clothes for larger sized folks. The Trousers are a nice fit. I will have to have them tailor shortened, but that was known before hand that the inseam was a long 36. Upon inspection of the workmanship I find no fault. I am very pleased. I will place more orders in the future. I found the service excellent, and the prices very competative. I recomend this establishment to anyone interested in historic clothing, particularily fellow "Cowboy Action Shooters".

Four-pocket Canvas Vest
I am pleased that I have found an establishment that has historic clothing for "grown-up folks", meaning larger sizes. The vest is comfortable roomy and fits well. Upon detailed inspection I find no faults. I am well pleased. I will order again and I recommend this establishment to anyone interested in historic clothing, particularly fellow "Cowboy Action Shooters".

Essential Work Shirt
I am very happy to have found an establishment that has historic clothing for "grown up folks" , meaning larger sizes. The shirt I ordered was a pleasingly roomy fit. I looked it over very well and can find no fault. I am very pleased. I will order other items and I would recomend this establishment to anyone, particularily other "Cowboy Action Shooters".

Stiff collar
I needed a stiff collar for my Mussy Costume and this is perfect! I bought in case one got dirty. I am very happy with the quality and the size was spot on.

Not just a dress shirt.
I really like this shirt! This shirt is dressy, but not overly so. It pairs well with anything, even Levis. The collar is pretty soft and wrinkles easily but it doesn't really bother me much, it's worth the comfort on my neck. The material is very thin, some reviewers find this a bad thing I think it's great for Nevada heat. The Coachman hat really sets it off.

Classy Canvas
A real double breasted waistcoat! Love everything about the way it looks, my only complaint is that it doesn't breath well, or at all really. Definitely a winter garment. Other than that it's perfect. The pockets line up well, stitching is perfect, and the buttons feel very sturdy. I would say another win for Western Emporium, and myself.

Very stylish!
This hat is everything I dreamed it would be! Not quite a top-hat, not quite a cowboy hat but pure style. I am a 7 3/8 and the large could not fit better. It's easy to forget that you have it on. I love everything that I have purchased from this site, but this hat is special! buy with confidence, it will not disappoint you.

I love this shirt even more than the Dress shirt I purchased previously. Fits perfectly and looks so stylish with my vest and silk tie. I love the clothes from this site. There's nothing like THIS in Australia.

the best
great pants, look and fit great. great color also. very happy with all I have bought from H E and I have bought a few things. keep up the good work.( just so you know, I where the pants and shirt for more than fun, I use them a lot.) some people look at me when I have them on and look. I love it when they ask what show or what time of life do I think I am living. I just say guess what its all about..

Fez - Burgundy Wool. Felt
This is a well made, if possible, understated Fez. The quality, fit, and feel of the wool is thick and sensual. This is not your cheap, costume Fez hat you see at a party supply store as side of or in a box store. However, this Fez stands a bit tall on the head, but the height does compensates for this fez not having a tacky tassel.

Straw Top Hat
The straw top hat is everything it appears to be in the photo, as well as more. It is well made and fits my head in accordance to the size charts. With this hat, you will be noted at any social or private event. I feel like Mr. Darcy.

Exactly what I wanted
Was looking for this style pith helmet for paleontology field work. It is exactly what I was looking for: solid pith construction covered with cloth and vented. The inner head band is adjustable with Velcro fastener. Neither the head band nor chin strap is leather, but rather a vinyl type material, which is not a problem for me. Chin strap is probably not as durable / functional as leather would be, but I rarely use the chin strap. With the shape of this helmet, it is not likely to blow off in the wind anyway. I am very pleased and satisfied with this helmet and purchase. Easy, reliable transaction and fast shipping. I will buy from historical emporium again when the need arises.

1920's look
We purchased this for a 1920's outing. I'm glad we purchased it way ahead of time. The shipping was pretty fast. When he tried it on for the first time- my heart sank and I panicked a little because the fit wasn't what I expected in the jacket. The vest and pants and the rest of the outfit- the fit was fine and I was really happy with those portions. I did move some buttons on the vest ( but that is just me being picky). It was easy to do. The jacket however took some time. I am a historically trained tailor but I wanted a 2nd opinion. I haven't worked in the 1920's era much- so we took it to a fine gentleman's tailor shop and we both agreed it needed some work. I should note that he is a tweeny ( and so most jackets don't come in his correct size and need to be altered anyway). I ended up taking in the jacket and shortening it considerably. The shoulders need a little bit of work too but I didn't touch those. I wanted to see if these alterations would make the suit better first. I am happy to say the alterations did wonders for the look and the suit. I think over all we are very very happy with our purchases. It's a normal thing to have to make some alterations on suits anyway- so over all I give the quality and look an A+. I was very impressed with the initial construction of the suit. He told me that the weight is wonderful and it's the perfect suit for hot weather! We are both very happy!

A comfortable fit
These are very comfortable, as well as durable. They are a great piece to complete your desired look, or even for everyday wear. Plus, for the price they are well worth it. I am very content with these trousers.

Gunslinger Gunbelt
I received the gunbelt in the time Historical Emporium said it would be delivered and it was everything I expected. It looks great and fits great. It looks like the one that the Lone Ranger wore back in the 60's. I got one 2 inches bigger than my waist, rather than one 4 inches bigger. I have a single right-hand gunbelt that is 4 inches bigger than my waist and I have to take it all the way up. This time, I thought I would try the next smaller size. I have 2 reproduction colt .45s for Cowboy Action Shooting and they fit very well and the bullet loops are perfect. the only thing that I changed was the leg tie down strap on one side was not as long as I would like. I took the tie down off of my other holster and now it's fine.
