Unfortunately, I had to return my product due to a size issue. Due to shipping costs, this added 30% to the price of an excellent hat. That being said, the customer service was excellent and I was very happy with the product.

The hat was exactly what I was hoping for and it arrived a day early - which was really important since it was a xmas present.

Service was great. Products were of good quality. One of the hats I bought was slightly smaller than the other and I will have to have it stretched.

Very nice well made product. The skirt is being used for the play The Music Man for the Marian character. I felt the prices are a little too high and the delivery time is too long but a good product.

The smoking jacket quality is excellent and the look is excellent, plus it fits my husband perfectly. The only negative for Canadian customers, you should not call it a vintage smoking jacket, due to the word vintage I had to pay duty on the item. If it had simply been called a jacket it would have come in with no duty. I will forward via separate e-mail an image from New Years Day 2016 dressed in our edwardian New Years finery. Best regards, Sybil Kangas

This was a gift for a very special family member that I had not seen in decades....she was more than pleased with the gift...and very excited to know that I had plans to send her more gifts from your inventory....most likely something for myself as well.

Another fine quality item
The Khaki Frock Coat is darker than I expected, which is exactly what I wanted since the brown color was sold out. Nice quality, and well made, this coat is just right for warmer days and nights, since it is a fairly light weight coat.

Good Quality
This vest strikes me as Western style and it is slightly heavy and warm. I think this vest goes best with linen shirts because linen is lightweight and is great for keeping your body cool. This vest is also very durable and the buttons are firmly sewn. There are four usable pockets which are very useful. Overall, I am very satisfied with this purchase, although I will would rather buy a lighter vest for summer because I get hot easily.

Beautiful Bonnet
I ordered this for my daughter's Birthday to go with her Victorian Mourning costume. We couldn't be more pleased. It's really pretty, well made and looks adorable on.

Best Trousers I've Ever Worn!
It can be difficult to find high quality clothing at affordable prices nowadays, but Historical Emporium more than delivers. I love the vintage trousers as they fit me better and are more comfortable than most modern pants. Trouble is I get hot easy and am very particular about my clothes. Wool seems to work best for me and I was very happy to finally see some wool trousers offered here. The Andover wool trousers are a darker brown that should pair well with most outfits. They are a bit pricey, more than I would like to spend, however they more than make up for it in quality. These pants look they will hold up to many years of wear and tear, so I consider them an excellent value. They are luxuriously soft and feel more like flannel pajama pants, yet they look great. No one has noticed them to be vintage or period pieces, but a few of my family members did say they looked great on me. Comfortwise, I prefer the way they sit over modern pants. They are light and breathable enough to be worn on a warm day or indoors, yet can provide some protection from the cold. These are by far my favorite pair of pants and I really hope they become available in more colors as I would love a pair in black. These pants and my preacher boots that I purchased from here are very nice to have in the snow and ice. Thank you Historical Emporium for providing such great clothes!

Exceeded Expectations
For the money, this helmet is well worth the investment. As the other reviews stated, the leather band and buckle are not of the highest quality, but for my purposes they look great. No one will even notice. My hat size is 7 3/8 so I had to cut the back off of the hat band to fit, but it still is comfortable and the fit is just right. It might be able to accommodate a couple of hat sizes more, but that would likely require removal of the whole band. The color is great and the exterior fabric is nicely stitched and stretched evenly without any pull lines. The cap at the top is fabric covered vented metal. A fantastic purchase.

Harwood vest in gold
Great vest... after dealing with the usual weird sizing provided by third-world manufacturers... you guys need to get a handle on this size and consistency problem with your great clothes!

tuxedo shirt
Great shirt... after modifying it with rear collar button to accept a separate collar (as pictured on the web site, though the use of pinning the collar on it for the picture). Next time, advertise items as they REALLY are shipped! [editor's note: this item is not pictured with a separate detachable collar. The shirt ships as shown.]

Awesome!
I love it -- the quality, the design and the attention to detail. Sizing chart on your website was easy to use and the turn around from order to deliver (standard shipment) was fast. It fits my Bisley Rugar Vaquero perfectly! I will be shopping with you again.

Canvas Work Vest
Appears to be a quality constructed garment of quality materials. Only suggestion would be to tailor the length longer, especially in XL and XXL. It's a little too short in XXL, otherwise it is a five star garment fairly priced. I will be purchasing more items in the near future. Glad you are out there in the market place.

Instant hipster. Just add pin stripes. Be generous with your waist size or they might be a little too snug.

Sharp looking shoes !!!
I feel dressed up just thinking about them. Plan on breaking them in. The pull on strap broke straight away. They offered full exchange including shipping but I declined as I had worn them a bit and it seemed a minor issue. More of an issue is how the top edge of the boot cuts in at my ankles. Perhaps it is my shape, but I think they will be fine after some wearing in.

wester gun belt and holster
I usually wouldn't buy something like this on line simply because I like to see it before buying it. After speaking with customer service l decided to give it a try. It arrived in 2 day from California to Georgia just as promised. After taking their advice on measuring for correct size it fit perfectly. The quality was better than l expexted for the price. I would strongly recommend this company and their products.

Neat novelty...
The item arrived very promptly and was a neat novelty, but the moment i removed them from the packaging, there were loose strings and fraying from parts of the gloves. This is my only real complaint about the item, i got them for the novelty to start with so i am not particularly disappointed.

Perfect
This is a lovely skirt. It is comfortable and beautifully made. I had to have it shortened because I am five feet tall, but it came out great - I used a professional seamstress who did a wonderful job. I love wearing it, and it gets many compliments.

Gorgeous!
This skirt is absolutely gorgeous. It is made in a way one never, ever sees these days with fine fabric, attention to detail, and excellent workmanship. I love it! I am 5 feet tall and 110 pounds, and had to have it shortened, but I chose a fine seamstress because I wanted it to be done professionally. I feel like a million dollars wearing it!

Perfect for holidays
Could not find a "Holiday" colored vest for the season in any of the local stores. HE had this one along with several others. The fit is good, the color bright red. I'll be ho, ho, hoing all next season. A good deal and a good buy

A good shirt
A good looking shirt. The size listed on the web site matches what I usually buy in person. Fit was excellent. The collar is convertible so I get two looks from one garment. The buttons give the shirt the 1890s look I wanted.
