I had been thinking about a duster for years and decided now was the time. I found the Emporium while searching online. The historical accuracy was a big plus. The coat seems well made with quality material. The company was upfront about delivery time since it was a special order (S). I actually got it faster than I anticipated. The sleeves seem awfully long for a small, but I just folded the cuffs up inside and it works O.K. I was very pleased with the overall experience and would definitely recommend them to anyone.

These guys are great! Not only are the products REAL clothes (not flimsy costumes), but they realize that buying the right size without trying on something is tricky. Therefore, they're very patient about returns if something is not right. Have bought from them many times in the past, and will definitely be buying from them in the future.

The quality of the material and workmanship was wonderful. I loved the lace details. I did set the sleeve button holes over an inch for a tighter wrist cuff. The size was fine. And, the blouse arrived several days before the event which was such a relief to know that my outfit was complete. I will be ordering a vest after the holidays. Great service and product.

Santa really needed another dress shirt and you came thru. Didn't order large enough and the return and receipt of a larger shirt couldn't have been more seamless. No coal in stockings at your shop. Send me an email address at [email protected] and I will be sure to send you some pictures. Thank you Santa Jerry

Your customer service is outstanding and the delivery time as well. Unfortunately, your product line does not include a holster for my Ruger .357 magnum, six inch barrel. This is the second attempt in resolving this issue. I will be returning my complete order.

I needed to use a couple of VISA gift cards as well as my credit card and the young woman who helped me was very helpful and processed everything quickly. She advised me that the express delivery wasn't required and that the regular delivery would likely be adequate to meet the time frame I was working on. Not only was she right, it came FAR quicker than expected. The smoking jacket is INCREDIBLE, very comfortable and a very good fit. The fez...well, it's a fez, and fezzes are COOL. A very satisfying experience all around!

You guys are the bomb! I thought the signed greeting card that came with my order was an especially pleasant, human touch, in the midst of the usual lack of atmosphere and care associated with our ' modern ' electronic consumerism. Thank you. And forever count me as one of your loyal repeat customers

I ordered a "Mountain Man Shirt" in a medium size. There were none in stock and I had to wait. I was given the choice of ordering from elsewhere but I chose not to do so. This company has always filled my order in a timely fashion. I like the way they do business. My shirt fits me very well and I am well pleased in all areas with western Emporium. I look forward to doing business with them again very soon. Jim Hawley

Price is a problem for overseas customers. Shipping costs seem rather high. In Norway there is 20%vat, customs - including customs on shipping, and an extra fee to the postal service for handling the customs issue. None of us have the power to change this, so one has to adapt. Even with these costs, though, the purchase was well worth it. But I can't do this very often.

I ordered a pair of sunglasses in hopes of taking the frames to be made into prescription glasses. they are beautiful. Delivery of my sunglasses was efficient. The glasses were of quality construction, However, I have a small head and they are a little small in size. But I am going to use them because the are just what I was looking for. Very pleased with the service from Historical Emporium.

I am amazed by quality the products and the fast shipping, though my gratitude and humble thanks goes out to the customer service. When I was building my Undertaker custom, the lady who chatted with took the time to listen to my thoughts and ideas. She did not make a hasty recommendation, she asked if she had time to to do some research and get back to me with her recommendations the next day. Sure enough, in an email, the next morning she had sent me a couple of her recommendations with clothing combinations along with ordering numbers for each piece so I could go look at it. The Undertaker is a person I will portray in the skits with the Tombstone Vigilantes, as we perform in the streets of Tombstone doing historical reenactments of the Old West. If you could see my custom it is so true to life for the 1880 era I feel I have bee transported back in time when I put it on. I was so glad she gave me to direction I needed to look so authentic. I have received so many compliments while wearing it. I truly wish I could remember this gracious most talented lady's name, I want to to Thank her so much because without her talents I would not look as great as I do. If some how I could get her email it would be very much appreciated. Thank You Miss for being there and also for a an awesome company with authentic clothing. Yall are the best!!!!!

Steampunk Skirt
This skirt is very well made from a rich, satiny fabric. If ordering from the U.S., take into consideration that the sizing runs smaller. You'd do well to order two sizes larger than your normal size to account for this. I normally wear an XL but it arrived too small; I exchanged it for a 2XX, and it fit perfectly. I was a bit disappointed that the lacing is only decorative as it would have allowed for tweaking the fit a bit but it was not a necessity. The ruffled placket in the back is gorgeous and one of the skirt's finest details. Side zipper is well hidden, and the length is perfect for high heels. Together with the Callista Coat, this is one uniquely beautiful outfit.

Steampunk Jacket
Very well made and sizing runs true to form. Just enough bling in the front so as not to detract from the ruffled tail in the back. The high collar and framed décolletage are perfect for showcasing that special pendant. I am in love with it!

Awesome Fashion Accessory!
Had to buy this hat for work. Others got the "costume" top hats instead of the real deal. You can really tell the difference just by looking. This hat Looks Awesome! Quality craftsmanship! Keeps my head warm in the cold :-) Thank you so much!

Wow!!!
What a beautiful rig. My Uberti 1873 Cattleman just slid into the holster like I had been forming it for a month. Workmanship and quality for the price is excellent. I ordered my rig on Wednesday at midday and it was at my house on Virginia Beach VA by Friday evening. My only gripe is my fault in the measuring other than that couldn't be more pleased

Good looking belt
This belt is very stiff. I ordered the suggested size (two sizes more than the waist) without an accurate measuring, and I could barely get to the first belt hole. The dyes will transfer to clothing a bit. I put my belt into a warm bath and rubbed the belt with a cloth to remove the excess dyes. The dyes transfer to the tub bottom but scouring powder removes the dye from the tub perfectly. After removing the belt from the tub, I pat-dryed the belt then stretched it. After it dried I was able go get three more belt holes to fit. There is no fading from this process. The cartridge loops hold rounds snugly. Order one or two sizes more than the suggested size for a better initial fit.

Small hat
Lovely, lovely hat, however, I really wanted a bigger hat as (I thought) was implied by photo. Not only was it a small hat, it was a small size. I would have kept it if it fit my head even a little better. Sorry I had to return it.

Misleading item description.
The description said long barrel and that the Pietta 1858 new army revolver would fit. The barrel sticks out the bottom by about one inch which is the only reason for my disappointment. Maybe the description could be amended to include this information. However, the holster is of good quality leather and It looks good. I like it enough to keep it anyway. The hammer loop keeps the revolver looked in. Swing the hammer loop off the revolver and it's ready to quickdraw. I am overall happy with this purchase.

Great Trousers!
My order arrived earlier than expected. Opened the package and found my trousers looked better and fit better than I hoped for. Stout pants that will soon be my favorites. I will be ordering another pair, maybe in black, very soon. Those folks have good products and are the nicest people to do business with.

Absolutely flawless
I bought this coat in my size (32) expecting it to fit more like an overcoat but even running a size large it has a rather nice slimming effect. I rate this a 10/10 for excellent craftmanship and the short time it took to reach me.

Thanks for the support
My new suspenders are awesome! I have been having trouble as of late as I have apparently developed an alergy to some metals. Belt buckles, and the clips on clip type suspenders. I have had these new ones for about two weeks now have worn them everyday and could not be happier!!! Great stuff.

Love the hat!
I received my new derby just in time to wear to the company holiday party. It looked quite smart with a sprig of holly! It is well made and sturdy, and looks equally dashing on ladies or gents. I got quite a few compliments. Thanks so much for the topping topper, and for your great service (I got it in only two days - wow!)

Perfect fit
Love the holster. I have a West German Colt Peacemaker replica. It's perfect for the pistol. One thing.....The trigger leather strap broke. It was kinda thin, but I replaced it with a thicker piece of leather strap. Very happy, overall.

Perfect in every way
I love this vest. It's got a nice pattern without being too busy. It's made of quality materials that really finish off an outfit well, and it fits exactly as it should, with no weird flaring or bunching. The color is very green, but that's exactly what I wanted. It's a huge hit at formal holiday parties. It's loud and vibrant, but never feels cheap.

great look but a little small
I purchased these so that I could take the frames to put prescription lenses in them., The glasses were quality and beautiful. just what I was looking for. I have a small head and they are a little small, if you have a large head they would probably be too tight. The only real complaint I would have is that there are small metal pieses just below the nose pads that could be bothersome or even painful if pushed against the nose. Otherwise they are beautiful glasses.

I ordered these and within days it was at my doorstep. The pants fit around my boots perfectly with no bagginess and though the pants are longer in length, they never ride low on my boots or go below the heel., very comfortable and the stripes are well defined. Definitely happy with the purchase
