I have nothing but good things to say about ordering shirts, vests, and accessories from this site, they fit great and look great, with excellent quality. I'm not able to say the same for pants, ordered here. The first ones ordered were old style, and ordered according to the measurement guide. They were greatly over sized. It took a lot of altering to make them wearable. The second pair I ordered were conventionally sized, and although I ordered them a size larger than necessary, they were far too small. I sent them in for exchange. I'm thinking that once you find the fit you need, you can order easily. Until you do, ordering pants is hit or miss. Great fit on vests. The blouses for my girlfriend are great. The watch is wonderful, good quality and came with an extra battery. The suspenders I got are great, and the necklaces and pendants for my girlfriend get her lots of compliments. Just be wary of the pants.

The skirt sizing didn't seem accurate to me. The fabric was less quality than i thought it would be. I am going to return the one I bought, due to the size. I am waiting on the replacement. I still like the look of it, and I hope that the one i ordered will fit.

Thank you for in-depth answer to my question about the sizing of the wests - in a result I have chosen the perfect size for me. The items arrived much earlier before the estimated date.

Prior to placing the order, I contacted customer service with several questions regarding two individual products, i.e. measurements, availability, etc. since the garments are for a wedding party. I received a response within minutes enabling me to make an educated decision regarding my purchase. The online order process was simple and the package was received within a few days. The garment was on a hanger, protected with plastic and ready to wear. Great job GentlemansEmporium!

I had to make a return and I thought I would get a refund instead they sent me the proper size vest it was my understanding that you were out of that particular vest but I got everything and I'm a happy camper thank you

I am joining a Cowboy Action Shooting group shortly and needed a two gun rig for my revolvers. The build your own rig offer was just what I needed. I was surprised at how quickly I received the products. I haven't used the cross draw holster yet but I did take the gun belt and right hand draw holster to my local range and got a lot of compliments on them. They worked like a charm and look great. Thanks.

Terrific customer service! My package was sent USPS. Of course it got lost - go figure. I called customer service. The folks were very professional and sent me my order out overnight via ups. They were fantastic and the quality of the product is top notch. Thanks to Joel. I highly recommend and will definitely order more products as they stand behind there merchandise

Based on measuring as prescribed, item was way too large. Returned that one and ordered a smaller one right away. Still waiting for credit on the return. The smaller item fits perfectly.

I think Westwrnemproium.com is the BEST because their products stand out among competition and their service is really refreshing. I had a recent issue with the fit of a frock coat and mistakenly ordered a larger size but a different style which was way too big. After dealing with customer service I quickly received the correct style which was a special order but received it very fast. WOW, I love you guys! Thanks and keep up the terrific work.

The website is wonderful with an excellent, broad selection. I did interface quite a bit with customer service after I placed my order due to their caution in validating my order, and protecting me as a consumer. The service was wonderful, and the items I purchased are high quality. I will recommend this site to friends, and I will return to it in the future for future purchases. I only gave 5 stars because that's all there were to choose from. If it were up to me, I would have given 10.

The service I experienced was first class. Your selection is second to none. Deliverytime was excellent. However I feel that you must speak with your manufacturers in respect to sizing. As per your instructions I was measured carefully and ordered the size that I required. I am not very tall but portly which makes buying difiicult. However the waistcoat; which I ordered 1 inch larger, was so snug around the midriff that it had to be altered. The trousers were a total disaster. Instead of a 54" waist they measured 56" and were cut so large that they were unable to be altered. Needless to say I am sending them back.Producing goods in the far east is always a problem, the sizes never are accurate. It will not stop me from using your store again. You have so many interesting things!

Latest purchase of the Lombard Silk vest, Paisley Ascot and Silver Spats received quickly and as always, well packed and in excellent shape. The vest is really stunning - the website pictures only approximate how beautifully it's shaded and the intensity of the colors. Well done, as always.

victorian ankle boots
They are good looking and the fit is okay..I usually take a 61/2 but since the boots only came in full size not half I had to order a 7 which is a little big but wearing them with athletic socks takes up the extra room.

Fun
I bought a pair of these on a whim but now I think I want the full set. They look great and are made of real metal not that pot metal crap. They are large coins about the size of a half-dollar or so. I like them.

Oh, yeah
So, I bought these to complete my outfit but was very surprised at the quality of them. They are not one layer of fabric, they are lined with a very nice black fabric. Both layers are good heavy cloth that should last a good while. Sizing was spot on and they just look great. I'm going to enjoy these.

Excellent 45 Western Gun Belt, and Holster, definitely worth the money.
This Gun Belt and Holster is perfect, I have a 32" waist, and my belt size is a 36", so I ordered it in a 36" and the belt fits perfectly, and it's the Gun Belt and Holster that hangs down on my side, it's beautifully hand tooled, since the dye does come of a little bit, I took an old white sock, and wiped it down really good, and now I have no problems with the dye coming off. I love them, nothing but perfection!!!

Nice shirt, but overpriced
Very roomy. Shoulders and sleeve length good; am 6'2", and normally wear 16-1/2 x 36. Good fit in arm and shoulder, but gobs of materiel around the middle, making it rather bousy.

Not worth price
Does not hang/drape smoothly at shoulders. Looks good on a hangar though! Am a 44L, and ordered the appropriate size, which may be oversized. Otherwise nice look, and may fir ohters' torsos better.

Silk Suspenders - Black Paisley
I needed longer suspenders for a new conventional suit and all of my other braces were sized for high-waist trousers. The extra length was exactly what i needed and the color goes well with my black wool suit.

Classic Canvas Trousers Olive
This is my sixth pair and I love them. The high waist is perfect for taming the 'middle-age spread' without the constriction of a belt. Only gripe is the one-length inseam vs. my lack of sewing skills! The olive pants have a somewhat different, lighter fabric than the crimson and walnut colors, and are a bit less rustic... more like khaki slacks.

Safari Bush Jacket - Brown
OMG! This jacket exceeded all expectations. It is extremely well constructed from 10oz cotton duck and fully lined. Fit is exceptional. The only thing I would change is to use darker buttons for a little more contrast. Otherwise this jacket rates a 100% rating.

Blue daisy dress
I am the director and costumer of Taming of the Shrew set in the oid Wild West, circa 1890. The dress was purchased for the character Bianca, the outwardly sweet and obedient daughter and sister to Kate, the "shrew". The dress was perfect. The red dress and calico undergarment that I also purchased for Kate, was also perfect. Log onto Waimea Community Theater to see the costumes.

Excellant
The Aviator Helmet was great. It fits well and appears to be well manufactured. It got a lot of looks and people wanted to try it on. I will probably be purchasing a second one now that I have seen the quality that it is. People say you get what you pay for, I think I got more than my money's worth on this purchase. This is not a cheep helmet like you would purchase in a costume shop.
