I enjoyed working with WesternEmporium.com to obtain vests for the groomsmen and the groom for our wedding. The products have been what we expected for the price: cheap fabric that looks good and has lasted really well for the occasional special events. The guys liked their waistcoats, and the wedding looked beautiful! Customer service was excellent; we had to make a few returns and exchanges, and everything we through seamlessly. Thank you so much for making my wedding day look great!

My husband is extremely pleased with the items sent, and we very much appreciate the pre-order help with sizing. The clothing is very well made, and when he tried everything on, it fit perfectly and will be an excellent Victorian outfit! Very happy with your service and the delivery time. All we need to do now is get the pants hemmed!

The prices are high, im sure anybody would agree to lower prices, but the products i choose we great. I had to make sure everything matched, so I had to send back a couple items and exchange. Shipping was fast, I wish i didnt have to pay for it all over again. but i love this dapper style just for a casual day, so im sure ill order something again in the future

i FOUND W.E. very easy to deal with. My Black leather quick draw cowboy holster was absolutely magnificient. I should have never waited almost 70yrs. bot it never to late. Just strapping it on makes you feel like you are back in the old west. ( I wonder how much the shipping is on the horse i ordered.?)

I have only two issues so far. First, the clasp on the back is not as high quality as the rest of the garment. Second, one of the button holes is starting to come apart.

I found gentlemansemporium.com while looking for civil war period clothing for my wedding. I'm always skeptical ordering clothes online, but I am so impressed with the quality of each item I have ordered and especially with the timely manner in which items are delivered. I will definitely order again! Thanks, gentlemansemporium.com, for helping me make our day special!!

Our wedding was western casual. I found Historical Emporium through a web search, when at the last minute I decided, that I wanted an historical western shirt to wear with boots and jeans. After perusing your many online choices, I ordered the Floyd Side-Button Shirt. It arrived promptly within days, fit perfectly, and looked fantastic. Hands-down, if you want to turn heads, this is a game changer. In fact, so many of the ladies at the reception complimented me in it and wanted to know where I bought it, that I should be on your pay roll !

taupe garters
This is the first time I've been disappointed with a purchase from you. The garters are too large to hold up my sleeves. I am not gifted with bulging biceps. The elastic is not as good as the black garters I previously purchased. I had to pay someone to shorten the elastic so I could wear them.

HOMBURG HAT
It is a very nice and well-done hat, especially for the price. It was a good value. My only disappointment was that the post office had crushed the box and had bent the brim in the process. Still trying to straighten it out.

Perfect coat
This coat is truly beautiful The blood lust ball coming up and i shall be wearing this coat to that event along with my spat boots also bought from here! It fits pretty good although mine is a little large but still sits on me quiet well I first tried it out for Christmas in July i got many remarks on it from members of the historical society saying how accurate it was. the buttons are beautifully crafted in the style of a penny which gives it a more interesting style to it & more unique appearance . a truly impressive item.

Well designed, high quality
I had been looking for a long split skirt that would fit my taller (5'8") size and have a bit of Old West character and unique touches. I am more than impressed with the substantial weight of the fabric, the true to size fit, the buttons, and the length. I can't wait for cooler weather in fall and winter to arrive so I can start wearing this to work with my western boots!

Edwardian is golden...
I have purchased these shirts for a play I wrote and am doing here in Chicago about Winston Churchill. The period is perfect and the shirts fit perfectly. Comfortable and stylish, suggesting the period without being too obvious. A really good buy for me.

Perfect for the part
I do a lot of Melodrama theater and am always looking to make the costuming as authentic as possible. This shirt worked well for me as a hotel keep in the play. Fit is loose and comfortable in XL for myself. The sleeve length is just right for my 34/35 length. The neck is comfortable for me as I wear a 17-1/2. Overall I am very pleased. I put this with the leather braces.

Cartridge Belt
I'm very satisfied with my new cartridge belt; it works well for my old .38 S&W. Size and fit are fine, though it reminds me I really need to shed some tonnage. When I acquire my heavier .44, I'll be back in touch; love the leather work.

A Favorite
I had boughten several of these shirts for myself in the past and have always been happy with them. This one was for my wife to build a Sharon Stone "Quick and the Dead" outfit. Great quality and authentic look. We'll keep coming back for the extensive in-stock selection and service.

so adorable
I ordered a 2XL, and I was concerned because the measurements would put this *just* into fitting, but I wanted to try them regardless. I think they run a little large, at least at that size. They fit great, and they are so fun. They are lightweight cotton, but the lace is very soft. I am so glad I took a chance on them!

cute
This parasol is really cute. A great addition to the outfit. If you are expecting something in the size of an umbrella, then this is not for you. Think something about the same size as a large pizza box. All that being said, the only down side is it will not stay closed when not up. For what it cost, I would expect it to stay closed when not in use. I got a thin black ribbon to tie it closed. Not ideal, but it works and it doesn't look to bad.

runs small
I love the coat, but as stated in other reviews, the buttons need to be reinforced, which is no big deal unless you don't do it. The coat also runs quite a bit smaller than the sizes indicate. I ordered the largest size they had, which was a size 18. I figured that I could wear dresses under it with no problem. I wear a size 15/16 normally. This fit pretty close to a 14/15. It is pretty snug in the top.

Hubbard Shirt/Detachable Collar
Overall, the quality is not bad for the price. Just a couple of comments. The shirt is obviously intended to use with a detachable collar, which is why I bought it, yet the buttonhole on the front of the collar band of the shirt are tiny...and I mean tiny. It certainly doesn't match the button/stud holes on the front of the detachable collar. I had to cut them wider, and I didn't do a very neat job, dang it. I also had to create a ad hoc stud made from a button and a long thread throat so it would go through the shirt and both holes of the detachable collar. As for the rear of the shirt collar band, there wasn't a button/stud hole to fix a stud to the rear of the detachable collar so I sewed a button onto the weird strip of fabric attached vertically at the back of the collar band. What's that thing for anyway? Also, it would have been nice if the detachable collar had underside sleeves for collar stays. Just my opinion. I have a long history of wearing detachable collared shirts.

Quality shirt
I really liked this shirt for my husband to dress the 1910 period for antique car tours and parades. The shirt is a nice quality and looks comfortable while on. My husband didn't say much and that is a good thing or he just plain wouldn't wear it.
