The Trousers were a little smaller in size than I expected but if I had read the information at the bottom of the page I would have known that. MY BAD !! I have had numerous people wanting to know where they came from. Unless you are truly small in the gut the suspenders would be a wonderful accessory. The waist will roll some but not bad. I love them . Thanks

Thank You, I needed a vest to match a dress for New Years Eve. Only having a few days to get the vest I called to place my order and the woman whom took the order made sure it went out that day. Thank You Again...

I have purchased items on three occasions and have experienced nothing but the best customer service and shipping times. Each time my orders were shipped within 12 hrs. of my placing the orders. I chose the standard ground shipping and received my orders within 2-3 days! (CA to NJ) I work as a delivery driver for a major international pkg delivery service. (Not the "Brown Truck Guys" but the "White Truck Guys" whose name ends with "EX". I am amazed that I received my orders with your standard service so quickly. Even during the "Peak" of the Christmas Shopping/Shipping season.

Fast response to e mail questions. Easy transaction super fast shipping. Great hat but if you are looking to order you may want to order one size larger. Very satisfied with overall dealings with Gentlemens Emporium. Definitely will purchase again in future.

Ordered this Duster and love it. Very comfortable to wear and is softening up nicely after a first wash and wearing out on walks. Fits great - I'd recommend this coat to anyone looking for the "old west" feel or simply someone wanting a long coat to keep the rain and wind off while you're out.

I ordered a vest in December 2015, expected an eight to ten day delivery. Got it in about three days, even with the late December Christmas rush. Vest was bigger than I expected and I mailed it back (priority mail) per their instructions. I got an email about ten o'clock the following night advising that the return had been received and had been credited back to my credit card account. In the meantime I ordered a second vest, which was on my front porch in three days. Service was outstanding, especially considering some of the other outfits I have dealt with. P.S. I don't live anywhere near California.

Great quality of work, the only problem with this holster is the hammer loop was a little short. Made an adjustment with more leather string and it works fine.

Very Black & Beautiful
I'd been eyeballing this coat for awhile & decided it's time. Really well made, great details that aren't overly fancy but just super classy & a nudge better than a sport coat. The color & back side lines & style are pretty amazing tho. Great length & fit. I ordered my typical size & with a vest it's perfect-o. The sleeves were a tad long so I hemmed them to fit, which is pretty easy (if you know how to sew) as its a simple rolled cuff. I love it & will get many years out of it.

Worth every penny!
Wow! These are great! Wore them w/ my Vigilante coat to Church & received lots of compliments. I'm one of those jack of all trades kinda guys. I can weld as well as stitch a seam so I hemmed them with a 1" rolled up cuff for snazzy-ness sakes. Also, ordered a size up like they said to do & what a perfect fit! Now I'm ditching jeans as work pants & ordering the canvas version of these. They're that comfortable & well made :)

Affordable and Well Made Spats
I am a professional living history entertainer and as such, my costumes must stand up to regular heavy use. I was very pleased to find that the materials used in making the spats was of good quality and should stand up to regular use and laundering. Thanks for an affordable option.

Channeling Pertwee
I ordered this cloak along with the Historical Emporium's Vintage Black Velvet Smoking Jacket in order to dress as the Third Doctor from BBC's Doctor Who. Worked like a charm, and I can always dress as Jack the Ripper for those more horrifying of times. I am most certainly enjoying it. The satin has a nice shine to it so the red catches the light quite nicely. A downside to my combination of clothing is that the satin slides off the velvet so I spent a bit of time adjusting it to look right, but when I did it was glorious.

It is quite a beautiful bow tie, fairly stiff but with give. People in church admired it, too.

decent
I am very happy with the Glacier Googles, however, to use a euphemism, they seem a little "lightweight" (which would likely be an asset were I actually hiking glaciers and weight was a critical factor), but as a fun tooling around pair of googles it just seems like they could be a little more "beefy". I would not let this minor criticism prevent you from enjoying these yourself.

The sizing chart is incorrect so I ended up with a coat that is way too big. Other than that, the coat is fine.

scarf
This item was exactly as described on the web site with a prompt delivery time. I tried a silk scarf but it didn't look as well nor did it provide the warmth of Cashmere. I wanted it to go with a black overcoat and it looks great.

Quality control
The brass casting was obviously damaged on the handle, very easy to inspect before it was shipped. I called customer support and they found all their inventory of this item was the same. I was offered a discount, which I appreciate as to avoid the hassle of returning; but quality control could be better. Quality of product one star....customer support five star.

REAL Award Winner
This skirt (And company) is AMAZING... I ordered it for NYE to go with a stunning corset I had just won in a contest, & the shipping was SO FAST that I got it in PLENTY of time. I'm pretty short (5'3"), and the chiffon "train" in the back still came to about what you see in the pic; But I definitely couldn't have worn flats with it. LOL I was at a venue with 4,000+ people, & was probably the oldest woman in the room (I'm 54), & I was voted the "Sexiest-Dressed-Woman" of the night... :-)

Good InVESTment
No pun intended...at least not at first. This is a light canvas vest, well made, a very good fit, and the price is right. The buttons don't hang up on stuff, and the length is sufficient to cover your piece if you are carrying. However, be aware that the sizes for this brand run considerably larger than the Wahmaker vests. If you need an extra large in a Wahmaker, a large should be quite sufficient with this one. I had to return the first one I got because it was too darned big. I wear a vest all the time, and I plan to get one or two more of these.

Monocle Extraordinaire
I purchased the "Professor Ocularo X-Ray Monocle for my eldest grandson's 16th birthday. He loves it! It's soooo rare that I can find something that he likes or appreciates. I've been told he wears it to school constantly and when he's wearing the monocle over one eye, he looks 23...oh my!! I need pictures. Thank you so very much!!!

The Twin-City Vest in black is stunning, and whilst light weight, is of quality workmanship. The self pattern is striking but subtle making it a stand out vest in my gentlemen's attire. I am very happy with the product

Too small
Beautiful blouse but runs small! The Docent I bought it for said it is too small through the shoulders and there was no way the girls would fit in there. I'm going to keep it so maybe someone smaller can wear it sometime.

I found the pants to be comfortable. Wore them to my nieces wedding. They were more comfortable than other pants I have purchased for more. They look good, feel durable yet comfortable. May order another pair for back up.
