I ordered 4 shirts, a work vest , pants, sleeve garters, and suspenders. All of these items fit great, true to size, and excellent quality. Im very happy with each item. I initially ordered the wrong size vest and had to exchange it. No problem or hassle. I simply printed their return form, wrote in why I was exchanging it, and shipped it back, on Saturday, by the following Saturday I had my vest. I wore some of these items while on vacation starting the same day, back in Deadwood South Dakota.

Ordered a size too small and immediately reordered the correct size. Sent the original item back with paperwork and somehow was sent a "replacement". Suddenly I had two homburgs! I probably filled the paper work out incorrectly or something. In any case your courteous and professional staff sorted it all out paid for my shipping and all is well!

Just the ticket for the price. feels good, looks good and my 45LC Single Action Pistol feels right at home. Sure, you could spend 4-600 bucks for a rig, But for the money, you can't beat it! I was worried about the fit when ordering, but if you follow the directions on measuring you will be good to go.

The customer service was awesome. I had a prepaid Amex card and paid the rest with my debit. I called and the lady I spoke to was pleasant and helpful. I was disappointed in the two day shipping taking three days though.

The holster set is awesome as is the pistol. The only question I have on the pistol is the actual finish. The metal is nicely polished but appears " distressed " markings in the metal that I assume adds to the authenticity. If there is supposed to be no distress marks and only a highly polished finish (like a chrome bumper on a car), please let me know. Thanks, Ray

I purchased the sable cotton vest in blk. and brown. I like the quality of the garment, however the only complaint that I have is the button holes. Its my opinion that they could be better reinforced for durability and longevity. Other than that minor issue this vest is great, I wear them all the time. I constantly get second and third looks and sometimes nods of approval... not to mention the out right compliments " hey I like that vest" etc. Really can't go wrong here. I'm 5'11" 230 muscular and the large fits me best. I bought 1 in large and XL. D. Boyd

Soft Gambler Hat
Although a bit lighter than I was expecting, this hat feels wonderful and fits well. I have always had problems finding a hat that fits comfortably, but the sizing was just right for me. Many thanks.

Excellent Upgrade
We bought this vest for our 16-year old son to 'update his look' and he absolutely LOVES it. The quality is outstanding and when worn with a pair of jeans and a long sleeved T-shirt it's perfect for a casual look. I would definitely recommend this vest.

Slouch Hat - Grey
I am satisfied over all, but have two comments. One, the actual color is a shade or two darker than some of the online pictures. Two, the sizing chart likely assumes you have a full head of hair. I am bald, and although my head measurement said I needed an XL, the hat is a loose fit. But, that's better than tight and a strip of thin packing foam tucked behind the sweatband solved it.

Simply the Best Vests
I purchased the Primrose vest and the Wisteria vest from Historical Emporium. They are extremely well made and look absolutely wonderful. I wear them in my office in comfort and look smart. Thank you Historical Emporium.

(.44/.45 cal) Western Gun Belt and Holster
First time dealing with Historical Emporium. Lots of cool products for sure. My order arrived quick and was packaged very well. Fit and finish is excellent! My .45LC single action Cowboy pistol is a nice match. The belt fit perfectly and looks great and feels great when wearing it. I can't afford a hand made 5-600 dollar rig so was a little skeptical when i came across this rig. No worries at all. Will definitely buy more from here. Especially western period clothing to make it complete. Thank you, Ed from Riverside County California

Lovely and soft
These are lovely collars. They aren't brittle or stiff but they still have some body. I wish we could have ordered them to the 1/2" sizing instead of a range. I have to alter several to fit my shirts.

Boilerman cap
The medium size fit me perfectly. I have had several positive comments in the short time I have worn it. Most recently someone said it makes me look "very professional" (i am a self employed carpenter).

itchy shoulder seam
I like the quality of this blouse. As I read in the reviews, the cuffs were too big around so I had to either move all those buttons or make a dart. I made a dart in each. The top of shoulder seams were very itchy where the edges were surged. I decided to cover them with some fabric and that fixed the problem. I also washed the blouse and upon ironing it, saw that it was drawn up in some places that the ironing was able to mostly press out. This isn't uncommon with cotton products. Now it fits just fine.

Best Firefighter Bib Shirt
The simple fact that this shirt is available in such a broad range of sizes is awesome. Small to 4X is quite a range. This is critical since we need to fit smaller framed females to very beefy males. Thank goodness for Historical Emporium in San Jose. They rock.

Sized small
As other reviewers have noted, these pants are sized small. Someone recommended going up two sizes and I thought "that's ridiculous". Well, I'm now waiting for my exchange that is two sizes larger than what I wear normally. I would not have even fit in my normal size and one size up may represent period appropriate "fashionably tight" - I really don't know. Despite this the pants are excellent and well made.

Pistol
The pistol is awesome. The only question I have is the finish that appears to have "distress" marks in the metal. If the finish should be clear and polished (such as a chrome bumper on a car) please let me know.

Wahmaker Frontier Pants
These pants are great, very sturdy and a great color. They are very comfortable as well. This is the second pair of canvas pants I have bought from Historical Emporium and have found that they stand up very well to wear and tear. *Note: for those who have never bought a pair of pants like this, you need suspenders (sold on this site as well) to wear these pants effectively.*
