I received the pants and Shirt sooner than expected. I had paid for expedited service. When you found out that I lived in your area and ground service would have been sufficient, you gave me a refund for the shipping. That was awesome. Great Service. Thank you.

Excellent experience. As a family, we decided to shift our 1930s Hogwarts Mafia costumes to Steampunk Hogwarts Costumes. Hubby needed most everything for that era, so the site was hugely helpful. We love the green brocade vest he now has for his Slytherin ensemble, and the classic work vest in red for steampunk pirate ensembles.

Because I decided to purchase the gun belt and holster after business hours a few days before Christmas, I left a telephone message for a callback. I received a call at 8:00 a.m. the next morning. The CSR was very nice and extremely helpful. The package arrived in two days, well in time for Christmas. I was extremely impressed with the courtesy and personal interest exhibited by the representative and the efficient way she handled my order.

My husband has wanted the cavalry bib shirt for most of our married life. I had not found one until shopping for Christmas 2015--and found it on HistoricalEmporium.com. I ordered the shirt the second week of December, and received it about one & a half weeks later--in time to wrap with a little elbow room. My husband was **delighted** when he opened his gift Christmas morning. He wore it to our church the following weekend after Christmas, even. Timely delivery, fantastic quality (heavier denim-type shirt material than most I've seen in stores)! Can't go wrong ordering from H.E.! Will definitely be shopping with this company in the future. :)

My son has been looking for a particular look which was not available in the UK stores, we found this site and thought we would risk the order as he was looking for something to wear for New Years eve, we had left it a little late with the order but to our joy the parcel arrived so quickly only held up for UK tax's. The Trousers are at the tailors as we speak having been taken up on the leg and are being picked up in the morning ready for him to hit the town tomorrow night New Years eve 2015. Gentleman's emporium get FIVE STARS from us with the service and the quality of the materials used in the trousers purchased, you made my sons year as he steps out looking like no other because of the unique styles sold by this company. kind regards Mark United Kingdom

The men's gloves were delivered in excellent, and in perfect condition. Just right for my husband's appearance as Santa Claus for our Church school's party, and will be perfect when he dons his victorian Gentleman's outfit for our town's historic house tour. We will definitely continue to shop at the gentleman's emporium

Kind, courteous and professional, I think that sums it up. I took my time and measured everything to fit and it did. I spoke with two different ladies on the phone at customer service and they were both polite and professional. I'd order again without hesitation.

We've bought from the Emporium for eight years now for very special occasions. Only once has the product not lived up to our expectations. Customer service is always pleasant and always helpful. Most everything has been lovely. I've had several hats - all wonderful and well made, as has my husband. My husband bought his engagement suit from here and both of us bought our clothes for our renewal ceremony from here, which took place in June of 2015. Highly recommended and affordable with good quality cloth. Returns are easy, no hassles.

Everything was perfect. From the interface with the web site, to the transaction itself, to getting the item, there was good communication. The item was exactly what I was looking for and the quality of the vest is top notch. I'm very glad to have found Gentlemansemporium and will certainly purchase from them again when the need arises.

This was my first time shopping at gentleman's emporium but it was a great overall shopping experience. I am very satified with what I ordered and delivery time was superb (only took 2 days to receive my order)! I will definitely continue shopping and will recommend others to do the same.

I saw a hat in a store in Sydney and when I went to buy it, it was sold out. I googled steam punk top hats and found what I was looking for here. The order was sent in time for my partners birthday and all enquiries were answered quickly and honestly.

44/-45 gun belt
Very impressed and holster is beautiful. Although leather is very stiff and needs oil and espescially the hammer strap. Other than that the holster fits sorter and longer barrels as well. I recommend for any comboy action shooter.

A perfect product and a perfect purchase
It's difficult buying things on the Internet. Naturally I had my concerns when I made this purchase as well. I wanted a waistcoat that was of good quality and not a cheap imitation. That is what I got and more. I cannot properly express my pleasure because really, it exceeded all expectations. As soon as I received it and tried it on, I knew immediately that this was absolutely the perfect product. I intend to build a collection of these vests and probably more products. I'm glad I found this website, and I highly recommend it to anyone else who may be looking for similar items. Thank you so very much. If I had more stars at my disposal I would certainly issue them.

classy
This coat is not only soft and warm, but also classy and elegant. My normal size for a coat is 40, but worn sans a suit, I ordered a size 36, which seems to be a good fit. I get lots of positive comments while wearing this coat, but being white, it does soil rather easily.

Festive Topper
My red Squire Top Hat received many compliments during the past two weeks, especially since we celebrated Christmas. The entire ordering and shipping process was tremendous. My topper arrived three days after I placed my order. It was very nicely packaged to prevent any damage in transit. I keep my chapeau in the box when I am not wearing it. I was very happy with my purchase; and I will definitely order from the Historical Emporium again. I wish I could provide you with a photo.

Excellent for lefties
Bought this as a gift for my son. It is beautiful, he loves it. Gun wearers should know holster loop is fixed does not snap off. Also check precise fit. Belt flap is tight 5 whole won't be able to add punch holes. Talked with customer service will do exchange. Very nice people. Even referred me elsewhere. We will be waiting for smaller size. Beautiful item. Holster holds 6 inch barrel of replica nicely. Will order more stuff definitely.

A beautiful, formidable, and functional cane
I bought this cane as a gift for a disabled friend. When the box arrived, he said he was surprised how much it weighed. And when he opened it up, he was amazed at how beautiful and sturdy the cane was. In fact, his physical therapist approved it as a medical device so he can use it every day! My friend was overjoyed and feels quite stately now that he's starting to walk again. If you're considering this cane as an assistive device be sure to discuss it with your medical professionals, it might be suitable for you as well.

Buttons falls off after 1 wearing.
I bought this invernss coat for my husband for christmas. We buy alot of vests from your company and thought the coat would be just as nice. Its nice but when buttons fall off the first time he wore it, I felt i needed to let you know. Thank you for your attention. Vita A Grennen

Really?
Skirts need to be broken down into sizes. This fits up to a 55' waist with a drawstring closure. When you are smaller, it looks bulky and terrible. Not recommended if you are looking for a good fit.

Dec 30, 2015
Maybe....
It would look better with something else. I bought it to wear ouside of a skirt as part of a steampunk ensemble. It was horrible. I don't suggest you purchase and try it with the skirt it is pictured with. Terrible. The product itself was nice, just not for me.

Black Wool Skirt
I do like the idea that it is reversible. It was heavier than I thought it would be, but that is a plus if you are wearing it on a cold winter night. So ladies, these skirts are made to keep you warm!

Black Wool Frock Coat
I chose a larger size because I detest tight garments. This frock coat is exactly what I wanted with the appearance of a close fit, but plenty of room. It is well made, et I especially like the lining et attention to detail. What sets this coat apart is the back. I think that is probably what sold me.

too small
I own many hats,all size seven so I ordered a seven.too small.

Retro styling still seems fresh
Have gotten several compliments on these cute mary janes--I like the heel height: dressy but low enough to be comfortable.

Best Gift
My father is always impossible to shop for, so when my husband thought of a Smoking Jacket, I was beyond excited to come across Historical Emporium. You had wonderful choices, good reviews and we instantly fell in love with this Plum Smoking Jacket. My father was stoked to open it, along with 2 cigars in the pocket to finish it off. The quality is amazing, the speedy delivery was even more impressive. He is excited to now wear an official smoking jacket in his man cave, sharing memories and stogies.
