My order was filled promptly and correctly. I'll be wearing it at "Open Mike Night" at church on 7/25. I'm sure it will be great fun!

I received my order within twenty four hours of placing it on line, now that's fast shipping! The vest was accurately described, of excellent quality, and fit very well by using the sizing chart.

I was so pleased to find an outlaw's long coat. Ever since I saw them in the film 'The Long Riders' I wanted one. Thought they were so cool, and they had a cut that you can't get in modern coats. I ordered one, had to contact Historical Emporium to change the colour I had initially chosen. Really prompt reply and no problem changing my order. Extremely fair cost and when it arrived I was so excited. I can't recommend this company enough.

It appeared that the post office had messed up delivery of my package, so I called you guys to see if we could fixe the issue (there was no issue, I got a text from USPS claiming the package was undeliverable, but it was in fact delivered on time). I got a call the next day from your rep. who assured me that any issue would be solved, then we had two email exchanges, when the package arrived on time. You guys run a good company. Shipping is always prompt, your selection is large and varied. Many of your item are different than found at other western apparel sights.

Frock Coat
The coat is well made and of high quality, however, it's a little small. I wear a 42L and should have ordered a 44L.

Great value for a type of cap not readily available... and generally they are much more expensive when you can find someplace else that is selling them.

Tattersal vest
This vest was supposedly "Made in America", but has all the hallmarks of Guatemalan craftsmanship. I spent fifteen minutes cutting the threads out that covered the button holes and trimming various other loose threads on the fabric edges and buttons themselves. Truly this vest is worth about $20.

Versatile Neck Wear
Most of the neck wear selection items available anywhere are fastened with a clasp, which of course is not period correct. I'm on the lookout for items which must be tied by hand, so I gave a couple four-in-hand ties a try. Except for the pattern on the material, they are much the same as modern neck ties, which is because this style of neck tie was the predecessor of the modern article. The material is a little thicker than a high quality modern tie, but worn with a stand up collar where the entire tie is exposed, the four-in-hand tie accomplishes a period correct look. I chose this tie because I have a black frock coat and a brown frock coat, in the hopes this tie would work for both, and it does. The price point was excellent and I'm happy that I have yet another authentic option for my wardrobe.

Foreign Legion Hat
I 'need' a reasonable facsimile of an early 20th century French Foreign Legion hat for a short movie I'm making. After a considerable amount of online browsing, the one from Historical Emporium was the closest I could get at the best price. Strictly speaking, it's not a "Kepi Blanc" (a "White Cap") because the color's tan instead of white but I knew that when I bought it. I'm not going for historical accuracy as much as I am for an immediately recognizable look. As such, their hat is fine.

nice waistcoat
This is a very nice item. It is made of real natural fibers, which I like to encourage whenever possible. It is a little darker and the pattern is more pronounced than it appeared on my screen. Those things do happen, but with no fault to the firm. This is the second vest in this pattern I own and I would have another if the fabric was right for my purposes. I would love to see this pattern cut with plain unfigured white linen and in various plain wools.

Great tie
Looks and feels great. Great tie that isn't too flashy and in a neutral color for various suits.

Great suit
Great material, fit, and feel. The suit is a lot more brown in color than the photo shows, probably due to the lighting in the photo. Got one of the studded blue shirts with a white banker collar and it looks great. Overall an excellent suit for the price!

Very good but
not excellent. This hat lacks a certain pizazz. That said, it's far better than the other offered here - the wool one - which is wrongly sized and so stiff and hard as to be virtually unwearable. This one is comfortable and properly sized.

Perfect!
Just what I was looking for! A nice safari helmet to wear while cutting the grass. I tried the usual supplier (Amazon) when a friend asked me to find her a pith helmet. What we got was a nice enough helmet, but the adjustable headband was simply glued in, and had no sweat band. This unit has a much nicer interior, with it's two-piece band, with the outer parts being RIVETED to the helmet, and the adjustable band is able to do it's thing independently. A great hat! I'll be back to the H.E. in the future (ha ha).

I got a holster
The oiled brown leather holster was exactly what I was looking for. When it arrived I found it met expectations and fit my .45 quite nicely. It will be s treasured possession for years to come. I even wore it when riding an Arabian in the rain. Cool

Bought for my wedding
Bought this for my upcoming wedding, in September. The picture does not do it justice. Color is more of a true tweed brown (than a washed out brown that's shown in the picture). It fits perfect when I tried it on with the rest of the giddy-up. My fiance was worried that the tweed would be too hot, but it is light and comfortable.

classic riding pants
I have to admit that I have found this whole experience to be very disappointing. I ordered the clothes because I had an event coming up and like many people, I have put on a few pounds so I ordered appropriately, I thought. The only things that I ordered that I can actually wear and use is the white shirt and the cranberry suit. Everything else was sized about 2 sizes smaller than normal. Now, before you brush me off, understand that I have ordered clothes from numerous sights with very little trouble. Also, when I sent an email asking if I could send any of the items back, I never received a response. Not a place I will be doing business with in the future.
