Remarkably fast delivery service. (Faster than an Amazon Prime delivery for an order I made the same day.) Very pleased with the quality of the product, a vest. But this vest model fit too tight, unfortunately. Would prefer prices to be a little lower on this and other models that I will consider at Gentleman's Emporium to replace it.

I order a .22 holster for my wife. Not sure of the size (women's sizes confuse me, seriously how many inches is a jean size 6-8? anyway..) and had to return to get correct size. The staff were fantastic and I had the replacement within five days of calling. That included me returning the original the them sending the correct size. The holster looks and fits great.

Item was out of stock. Customer Service was extremely diligent in asking if I wanted to be notified when back in stock and on subsequent follow ups.

My shopping experience with westernemporium.com was a pleasure. I had a small problem with the hammer loop on the holster, but when I contacted them, they sent me a new gun belt and holster along with a return label so it wouldn't cost me anything to return it. I received the new belt and holster in a short amount of time and it was perfect in every way. So I am very pleased with the product and the service and have no problem with dealing with them again.

Dealing with your company was a complete pleasure. At the beginning I sent an email with a question about obtaining a certain quantity of items. I heard back quickly with great information. When I placed the order I dealt with a gal in your office, she was absolutely awesome. My product shipped quickly and the quality of the hats is amazing.

Bought 2 shirts from you, Loved the Quality, But the shirts 4 XL 59 inches not 61 to 63inch as advertised.Otherwise all is well.

Good customer service. Great looking shirt. My only issue is that the product name and number online don't match up with the name and number on the actual product label. The reason I mention this is because I thought I had ordered a different shirt after taking a lot of time to decide between two choices. When I got the shirt I thought it was the wrong one, and trying to match the tag on the shirt to the online product item number did not help (also the brand wasn't mentioned online which threw me for another loop). I finally concluded the item was correct and I am satisfied with the merchandise.

Excellent service and a team willing to go the distance. Needed a particular jacket (that we found no where else) by prom, only a week away. We revived jacket and were worried it was too small. They sent out the next size the same day. We were able to return the extra jacket with a rapid refund. Great team!

Better Than Advertised
Every one needs a pair of black trousers, and THESE are the trousers you need. Their fit, finish, and quality are unsurpassed. I ordered them one size larger than my usual, just as suggested, and find them to be perfectly sized and surprisingly comfortable. The fabric is much heavier, more durable, than I expected; this is a GOOD thing, as these trousers will give years of comfortable and stylish wear. I highly recommend them as an additiona to any man's wardrobe.

The Only Pants You NEED
I was thrilled when they arrived. Ordering one size larger, as suggested, the fit is perfect and very comfortable. These high quality, durable, denim-like trousers will wear a long time, and are just the thing to wear; whether you're laying track for a railroad or heading out for the Spring Quadrille at Mrs. Huffington's, the style is perfect. I use them for every day wear, and love them.

Off We Go...
I've wanted one of these since I was a kid. The leather is fine quality and it's nice that it's cotton lined. It looks very, very cool, and it's quite authenticly styled. The only quibble that I have is that I ordered my correct size from your sizing chart, but the helmet fits just a little bit snug. I suppose that it should fit snug so it stays on your head, but I find it just a little tight. It's still quite wearable and I enjoy it very much, paired with the RAF "Ace" type goggles that I also purchased. I give it 5 stars, just 'cause it's sooo very cool.

Too cool!
This shirt just blows me away! Superb quality, fit and styling. It's very unusual to wear this style these days, but I personally love it. It looks great with all my waistcoats (also purchased here) and turns heads wherever I go. Thank you, Historical Emporium, for offering such fine garments, and keeping Victorian-era style alive and well!

Quite Stylish
After my initial purchase from historical Emporium for my steampunk ensemble, I realized that these were fine quality shirts to be wearing every day. The style is very authentic, late 1800's, and the fit and quality are superb. I highly recommend their shirts and trousers for everyday wear; it's a good look for me, and can be for you too.

for looks
This bustle is for looks. I needs to be worn on the outside. We purchased it thinking we could use under a dress but it does not have enough to make a dress look "bustled." I don't think it's worth the money for just being able to use on the outside.

Like being back in 1880!
Very nice Gun Belt and Holster. The tooling is beautiful and the black goes very well with the pearl grips on my 45. Also, the way the gun fits in the holster and the leg tie down, it makes for a very good fast draw rig. Love the purchase and will be making more!

John Bull Top Hat
Kudos for including a very colorful feather and hat pin. The hat fits well and looks very good as well. The only reason I give this four stars, is: I have issues with some types of hat bands. What happens: pressure is applied to right front portion of the forehead causing a headache. I have the same issue with cardboard billed ball caps.

Very comfortable pant
These pants are very comfortable. The cut is not binding. The material is very soft. Just remember that you need a larger size than modern cuts, because the waist is cut higher.

A bandolier that's comfortable fit.
The only Bandolier on the market that is actually comfortable to wear, of course if you have never carried more than a few rounds in a pocket you will be surprised at the weight 100 rounds ( I bought two Bandoliers ) adds ,but bandoliers distribute the weight better than a bag on a belt or even a belt with loops. I made some lame joke to customer service, about wanting more loops than 50, when I noticed that the description mentioned each bandolier had approx. 50 loops ( due to the excentricy of the manufacturer, or his inability to count) , customer service treated this seriously, and went into detail why they had no way to really help - sheepishly I thanked her and assured her I did not wish to cancel my order and I would be delighted with approx. 50 loops.Well I got my order and one had 50 loops and the other had 49, I now have a picture in my head of some employee of yours counting loops thinking we have got to find at least one bandolier with 50 loops! The way this bandolier is cut, the rounds never cut into your rib cage as ALL others do. Works great on rifle rounds, like 45/70 too (remember the weight). Five Stars in anybody's book.

Smoking Jacket
Smoking Jacket fit perfectly, comfy. Enjoyed all the hot dressed up girls touching the jacket. Great conversation starter with anyone. The color was more red than burgundy. I wonder if I was shopped the red on accident. I do like the color.

Was a hit!
I was invited to a party with an 'Old West" Theme. The site of the party was in a historic home with its own saloon. My dress was era perfect and a hit with all the guests. I loved the fit and quality of the dress. Found it to be very comfortable and flattering. Thanks for helping to me to 'fit' in and stand out!

Practical and interesting
These a very cool looking, all my friends love them. Vision is surprisingly good while wearing them. Seem sturdy enough to be used while hiking in the winter, but I wouldn't recommend putting them at the bottom of your pack simply because they are aluminum and can crush with enough force. My only gripe is that the socket padding is rubber and not leather, but other than that, these fit my needs and are worth the money.
