The quality of the product I bought is as high as it can be, but what is really impressive is the quality of the customer service! I made a mistake in my order and I had to correct it; it was on a weekend so I left a phone message and an e-mail. On Monday morning I received both a message and a phone call telling me that they changed the order as per my request, and I'm not even in the States, I live in Calgary. Very courteous and kind! It is great to see that "old fashioned" personal customer service is still being used in some business. I recommend your products and service without hesitation!

This is my third purchase from gentlemen's emporium. In every instance each transaction was satisfactory. On my last order I paid for expedited shipping but that probably wasn't necessary because shipping time is always quick and easy. Thank you for providing a good resource for those who appreciate quality and fashion.

I added to an order and that delayed it. When I called in because I didn't see any shipping details this time (I've purchased 2 or 3 times before), they said there was a mistake made in shipping & they would correct it. I only needed the one item for the party, but they shipped the entire order overnight. I am absolutely thrilled with the quality, customer service, speed of shipping, etc. Bravo guys for being a company that still believes in customer service.

I have purchased several items and in every instance the quality has been outstanding. My most recent purchase of a Callahan frock Coat required making a couple of orders to find the right fit and color. The customer service was outstanding in working with me to get the right coat for my needs. They provided the return label on the coat I did not want. No questions asked! It was a total customer experience for me. How could I not want to work with them again and again.

There were plenty of Ascots on line, but shipped from overseas and with a generic picture of the item. Gentelmansemporium website was filled wit precise information and and more easy to navigate within the same category. I called the Customer Service number for a little guidance to go straight to the item I needed and they were very helpful and guided me. The Ascot that I order was perfect. What I received was exactly as pictured and exactly as an Ascot is supposed to be. I was very pleased at the quality, the package and the arrival date. Recommended.

I absolutely love the Victoria White blouse I purchased from you. I wish a large size had been available, the extra large one I purchased though is perfect for my broad shoulders and 34 inch sleeve length. I will have to get alterations done on the body of the blouse as it is quite "billowy". Overall, no complaints. I would like to see this blouse offered in United States Navy Blue, and Christmas Red hues.

Love the products. I ordered size 2xl for both vests. .. the brown vest fit perfectly, if a tad snug. Love the product. The black vest is from a different maker though it is the same style. It is what I would have expected in a 2xl vest, as I had to cinch the vest back to about half. Now it fits very comfortably and looks great from the rear. I will purchase from you in the future, but interestingly, since I love vests... my wife calls me her "vest man", I was web searching and found the same vests same manufacturer,,, I purchased from you substantially cheaper on another site. Nevertheless, I do hope your company does well, as I love having a source for quality period goods. While it's never been my principle source of income, I've been a banjo player for hire for nearly half a century. Traditional jazz, Dixieland, Civil War period, 1890's '20's, show tunes and Big Band period are among my repertoire. It's nice to find clothes to fit the period I'm playing. You will hear from me again. Sincerely, [email protected]

triple clip-on magnifying loupy
The clip that attaches the loupy to the arm of the eye glasses is not sufficient, especially paired with the vintage style eye glasses. I also tried to attach it to the hinge of the arm and the clip was just not strong enough. In the end I created my own fastener and attached the loupy to my homemade goggles. I am still satisfied, I just had to adapt my concept.

These gloves are and excellent addition to any outfit. However I wish more sizes were available. The gloves fit but only just for a guy with big hands. Perhaps one size bigger would suffice. The snaps on the cuffs are a great addition as well.

Perfect match.
I ordered this shirt in combination with other items for a party costume. I ordered a 2x even though I am a 1x. This was a good decision as the shirt fit perfectly. The scent out of the bag as unique but not unpleasant. After washing and ironing the shirt looked better than before. This shirt can be used for anything from baroque to pirate! Thank you for a great product.

Quality assurance
Overall I am pleased with this purchase, however there were a few issues. I would suggest ordering a size bigger than normal as that would serve best for the size. There was also a few threads and frayed pieces of string hanging from the pockets. This is probably not an gentlemens emporium issue but it's still important. The brocade pattern is beautiful and I was pleased to see the vest had a black silk back. The cut of the vest is clean and sharp as well.

Beautiful shirt, but big!
I bought this shirt for my Marie Curie Halloween costume, and the look was PERFECT. It's a beautiful shirt, and clearly high quality -- made of nice, thick fabric. It did seem to run a lot larger than I was expecting. I ordered a size that, according to the size chart, would fit my bust and be a bit large everywhere else. But it wound up being pretty tent-like. Perhaps that's my fault for being disproportionate, but even still, the sleeves extended well past my hands, and I had to take the cuffs in by several inches to get them to stay at my wrists. So if you're deciding between two sizes, I'd recommend going for the smaller one. (One of the key features of this shirt is the puffed shoulders, and you don't want the shirt to be so big that those aren't sitting on your shoulders.) But don't be deterred by my experience with the sizing -- it really is a beautiful & high-quality shirt. I'll definitely be buying more clothes from Historical Emporium in the future.

Grey not Charcoal
This was the second Callahan Frock Coat I purchased in Charcoal. The first was a deep, rich charcoal with 18% wool... unfortunately the new one I bought was no longer the deep, rich charcoal but a grey... almost a greenish grey. The materials had dramatically changed and there was no wool present in it. It was an additional $10 over the price I paid for the last one. This isn't to say others will not like the color, but I really prefer the richness of the dark charcoal over a grey. The coat itself remained unchanged in its stitching, design, and fit. A beautiful coat for sure and stylish even in our contemporary society. If you are looking for a deeper, richer color, I recommend getting the black Callahan Frock Coat. I am on the list for the Charcoal coat when/if it returns to its original color scheme.

nice but could be nicer
I bought this jacket for my daughter to wear in a production of "Alice in Wonderland". It is well put together and the shape and form of it is nice, but the fabric is about as "cheap" as it can be, and the buttons are plastic. For the price, I expected better quality. It is definitely a costume and not clothing...I was hoping for something she could keep and wear for awhile but I doubt it will hold up. It looks very pretty I just wish the fabric was nicer.

Class of the past
My wife was concerned that it seemed stiff. I had to explain to her, this is a working vest, designed for a hard working environment. I showed her some pictures of the time period and she got on board with me and said they had more class and self respect back then. I told her that i do not see any reason we can't have class like that today. So now she likes it, not as much as me, but it is me that wears it, and I like the stiffness of the vest. Gives me a uniform feel to it. With add many years I put in to the military, it makes me feel right at home.

Durable
These are nice looking and durable. The suspender buttons are done right. I have always preferred suspenders over belts and since I was old enough to buy my own suits, I had them made with suspender buttons. The problem is they always put the buttons on the inside. Even when I was young and in shape the waist lines of the pants would fold over because of this and the only way to fight it, was to wear a belt. That defeats the purpose of suspenders. These are made the way they should be, on the outside.

Class of the past
Really nice shirt, fits wonderfully. I have complained for years that we as a people have lost our style and class, when it comes to clothing. We have allowed others to dictate what is in style, and like so much modern art, modern style is garbage. Young people seem to be given the right to reject modern style while us older people are expected to just accept it. Today's style having women dress like street walkers and the guys wearing mom jeans with dress shoes and a tie barely tied. I have not officially worn the shirt to any events. I did put it on right away and wore it around the house to see how it fits. Once i get the collar nice and starched, it will give a stiff look, but in reality it is a comfortable shirt. I'm thinking about wearing it to my niece's wedding, that is how much I like it.

SIZING IS INCORRECT
Although the quality was very good, the sizing is terribly off. I'm a size 4 so I ordered a small top and medium skirt (wanted comfortable room for a tuck in) on my first order. I paid $35 in expedited shipping only to have a top that I couldn't even get over my head and a skirt that was also too small. Because I liked the quality, I ordered a large top and a large skirt and again paid $35 in expedited shipping. The large top and large skirt swallowed me. Both orders had to be returned and I was not only out $70 in expedited shipping but I also had to pay a total of $26 to return the items.

Very authentic item, thank you. It fit well after initial washing and did not fade. Your measurement instructions are right on. However, the backflap buttons were too small for the job or the button holes were made too large so my wife replaced them. No big deal, as long as you have a good wife who can sew. Stan DeVore

Beautiful blouse
Quality blouse, size is accurate & fits like I had it custom made. However, the sleeves have a lace trim running down the length of the sleeve. At the inside shoulder seam the lace scratched & irritated my skin. So I hand-stitched in bias tape to cover the seam across the top of the shoulder. Problem solved. It just took some of my time to fix it. Otherwise I would have given it 5 stars. I would buy it again if I need another color.

Nice shirt, very nice style, and comfortable. The stripes are printed on, not woven, and when I washed mine in cold water in the machine it lost much of its' colour, and is marked with lines where the creases rubbed in the machine. So I would strongly advise to hand wash gently.

I really like this stylish hat that is made in the States by a reputable, esteemed hat company. It is very well constructed, very comfortable and I'm sure very durable. Taking a cue from earlier reviewers I took the risk of ordering a size smaller than my actual head measurement, and the fit is perfect, so...? Use your best judgement! Good with period or modern outfits.

Great Costume
This dress was perfect for our party. I got so many compliments. The only complaint i have is that when i took my measurements i was between sizes, so to be safe i went with the bigger size. Would like to have had the option to order the skirt one size and the top another, but i know on line that cant always be available. I am looking forward to wearing this again. Great quality and comfortable.

Almost perfect
I was amazed by the quality as soon as I opened the box. This truly is not a costume piece, but an authentic piece of clothing. I didn't give four stars since the belt buckle is plastic, but worst of all the sleeves were too short despite the rest fitting perfectly. I suggest ordering a size up.

Great Lab Coat!
I searched all over the internet to find a decently priced and good quality lab coat such as this for my boyfriend's Dr. Horrible costume. I did alter mine (replaced the black buttons with white ones, shortened the length, and added a pocket from the material taken away) but I had no complaints. The material is MUCH lighter than expected, so if you are thinking it will be very heated to wear I promise you otherwise. Personally I felt that the quality of this lab coat was beyond what I had originally expected and really did bring the costume together. It shipped on time as well as arrived on time and payment went straight through. I have no regrets as far buying this went.

Better Made than any!!!
I have to admit the products i received are better made than any that I have ordered from any other company in the past, the only fault I have, is my own... I should have ordered a size larger than i wear in blue jeans the waist fit was perfect, the seat was a little small for my "seat" haha, and i ripped the pants at the very end of the evening but I will be ordering a replacement pair in the near future... From you great people here at the Historical Emporium... Every event we attended we were the Very Best Dressed there!!! My seamstress is going to repair the pants for me, and she was amazed at the quality of the pants, but she did tell me that even with the repair I needed a larger size... haha... Thanks so much guys for making us look the best we could every where that we went!!! That included the Vampire Ball in New Orleans!!!

Gauntlets
The Gauntlets are nice. Make sure you get the measurements correct. They were a bit tight on me but fortunately leather stretches. These are not for winter use without using some sort of linger based glove first.

Captain's boots
The boots are a good fit. I wish there was a slightly smaller size, but they are comfortable and I can drive a manual transmission car without issues using the clutch. Haven't tested them in winter yet, but with a warm pair of socks, should be great for the winter galas.
