The items I bought are great. My watch is wonderful, the vests have a good fit and look sharp. The only problem I had was with the pants. Although they are of excellent quality, they are far, far too big. Even taking into account the difference of fit due to their style, they are way too large. This is possibly due to my unfamiliarity with the sizing/measuring methods used with the sizing chart, so I will just make alterations myself. The order was processed very quickly, and arrived well before the estimated date. Thank you for your excellent service, and you can bet that I will recommend shopping here to everyone looking to escape the jeans and t-shirt cycle.

I was in a rush to receive the shirt I ordered - so I called in advance to see if it was possible that it would get here before I left for my trip. I was assured that they'd have to me 2 days before I left--so I felt confident that I could order it without fear that it would not arrive by my deadline. The person I spoke to on the phone was extremely helpful and overcame my concerns about shipping speed. My husband was pleased with the shirt. It looked very well on him and he said it was exceedingly comfortable.

Whoops.
I don't know what happened, but the pants I ordered are far too large. I thought I had followed the sizing method and used the chart properly, but the pants that came are... well, I could probably make a jacket out of them. To be fair, I am a larger sized gentleman, and fitting a person of my stature can be tricky without actually trying things on. I am still very happy with the pants, they are good quality, well made, and were very modestly priced. I am simply going to have to do some alterations to make them fit as well as I was hoping for.

A classy accoutrement
The vest looks great. It fits well, and is of excellent material. A little heavier than some clothing, so take into account the weather when wearing it. I am very happy to have this as part of my wardrobe. It is versatile yet classy.

Invest in your appearance
The vest fits well, and is a nice light weight for summer wear. It is a little more golden than tan, which is not a problem at all. My Facebook profile picture features me wearing the vest, just a simple candid picture that I think turned out looking quite sharp. You can dress it up a little, or wear it with your more casual attire and this vest blends in nicely, not looking like a tacky costume accessory at all. A great addition to any man's wardrobe.

A timely purchase.
The watch is excellent. For the low price, this watch is a durable, and reliable accessory. It looks good, not at all like some cheap knock off or gaudy trinket. The window on the cover is convenient, and opening the cover reveals a clear and easy to read face ( I've had watches where the design on the face makes it hard to find the hands to tell time quickly. That's a sure fire way to end up collecting dust and never getting used). It came with an extra battery, an added bonus. Some would say that getting a true wind up watch is better, more authentic. I like the simplicity of a modern watch. Set your time and there is nothing else to worry about. I really like my watch and am considering ordering more as gifts for friends and family.

Fantastic
Get this one. The fabric is beautiful and has a feel of heft to it that one would normally get with canvas.

Now, THIS is a coat!! A real 18-19th century look here, but man, it is cool! Am looking forward to the cooler weather and maybe a Holiday party or two to break it out. Should stop a few clocks (lol)!

Nice pants!
I have a couple pairs of these pants in different colors. They work well for a casual look especially, but you can dress them up with a "Sack Coat" and vest if you want. Comfortable as well!

Pure 18th Century!
This looks like something out of Errol Flynn's "Sea Hawk" wardrobe! Great fit and a ton of attitude. You can tuck the lace up into the cuff for less frill and the jabot is removable as well so you've got some flexibility with the look! Now ...... where'd the rum go??

The best!
Arguably the best pair of trousers I have ever owned! I actually have 4 different pair in various colors. They fit like a glove and really look classy! Wish they had pockets but they are authentic 18-19th century trousers, so I get it!

Not great!
Actually, these pants were not quite what I hoped. They are extremely wrinkle-prone from what I could tell. Just not the best material. Returned them. Just didn't work for me!

Well Designed
I really enjoy this vest. It goes well with "modern attire" and is good for those who like to stand out. I caution that the measurement they give for the vest is exacting. You best add an inch or two when figuring out your size.

This is one of the most comfortable and well made shirts I have ever worn. The fit and finish is superb and the look when combined with a Waistcoat and tie are to die for. My girlfriend drools every time I wear it. Thanks for providing such excellent products!

Mix and match
I bought this jacket and vest not for dressy events but for everyday wear. The vest coordinates well with work shirts and pants. The Jacket as well. I bought the jacket one size larger so I could use it for winter. They are very sharp looking and nicely tailored.

Gorgeous!
I was a little apprehensive about ordering a hat on clearance, but this top-hat lives up the your reputation for top quality clothing. I find they do run a little bit large, so am glad I ordered the smaller size. I was truly impressed in the overall feel and look of the hat, the 100% wool felt has been formed flawlessly, and set to a very firm feel. The removable feather flourish is a soft, yet elegant touch that is very easily removed as it is fixed in a period manner with a simple hat pin. The full satin lining is also comfortable and a beautiful finish to an already spectacular headpiece. The color is stunning, and I'm sure I will get many years of wear out of it. A solid, honest-to-goodness hat, NOT a costume piece. Thanks again for your wonderful work, I truly enjoy every experience I have had with you. Bravo!

I could not be happier with my marguerite skirt. The quality of the fabric and construction (fully lined) exceeded my expectations. Best of all, the sizing was spot on! Halloween is going to be fun.....

Evangeline blouse
LOVE LOVE LOVE this blouse! I have it in 3 colors to match my homemade bustle skirts!! Black red and now white! Yay! I LOVE these tops even though the "corset" parts are tied together with ribbon. I hate that stuff. I replace it with crafty cord. The ribbons just don't do it for me. The cord is a lot more sturdy to me. I've also purchased work blouses and I love them as well. They fit well and are sturdy! I can't wait to make some mercantile skirts and I will be the storekeeper's wife by day and the saloon girl slinging whiskey and beer by night! So glad to be retiring so I can spend my days cooking, sewing and running the general store! Looking forward to building an old West movie set where I'll run the general store, serve old fashioned home cooked meals and then the saloon! SO EXCITED!! I will be back to buy MORE!!!

Klondike Vest for My Wedding!
I recently purchased the Brown Klondike Vest for use in my upcoming wedding, and I must say, my bride-to-be and I love it! The detail is fantastic, the color is rich, and it fits wonderfully. I would recommend this vest and the Historical Emporium to anyone looking to find something unique and classy to strut about town in!

Nice shirt
I bought two items, a blouse and shirt. One fit, one did not. Fitting mail order items is always a little harder, especially when the items are not of a common design. I was somewhat surprised by the type of fabric the shirts were made from. It was more a of a fine muslin than a broad cloth. A better description of the weave, thread, weight, and behavior of the cloth would have been helpful. The look and quality of the items is great!

Perfect.
My love of vintage clothing and ability to burn easily fueled this purchase. It fits very well. Just baggy enough to be comfortable, but not troublesome. I'll of course have to wear a 'proper' suit underneath for swimming, but I'm looking forward to having this on at the beach.
