No Voice Prompts! The fact that an clear speaking human answers the phone is all by itself a reason to rate Gentleman's Emporium with 5 stars, and to continue shopping here in the future.

My first purchase with the Gentleman's Emporium was very positive. Internet purchase checkout was very smooth without any complications. Product (John Bull Top Hat) was accurately described with quality better than expected. Not a costume quality but a real hat! Delivery was one day earlier than expected. I have referred the Gentleman's Emporium to several friends and will soon be returning as a loyal customer. Thank you!!

WOW! I wished I would have known about this about this company before. I'm 70 now and remember how sharp my father & grandfather looked when they put on their finest, like Movie Stars. The Gentleman's Emporium carries that finery of yesteryear. Many products are still in vogue. I bought a homberg hat and a gold best. they are both "out of the park" quality and I'm sure the will wear well for years. I will be making many more purchases from these guys and referring friends.

Perfect Watch
This is probably the coolest watch I've ever seen. It keeps time perfectly as well, provided you remember to wind it. All in all, great product, I love it.

Beautiful boots.
The quality of these boots is excellent and they are really well made and attractive. Usually with this costuming type specialty websites, you expect cheap quality stuff, but every item we've bought from them is great. This is the second pair of shoes I've bought for my husband on here, and he loves them both. He also gets tons of compliments on them. Highly recommended.

Jasper Shirt- Blue/Khaki Stripe
I am very pleased with the style of the shirt. The price was very reasonable considering the quality of construction. I would like the same shirt in a lighter weight summer fabric.... I live in Naples, Florida year round. No problems ... No complaints !!! Very Satisfied !!!

Fits very nicely. Have had several compliments !!!!!!! Only suggestion, it came in a large package. Save some postage by using size specific packaging.

Nice hat!!
Received this hat for my birthday for the purpose of wearing it in the Masonic Lodge. Size is proper and will have to have it steamed and fitted locally, not unexpected with a new hat. Very good quality hat for the price! Donald Cosper W.M. Texas #315

A Sturdy Waistcoat
This waistcoat is far superior for everyday-wear and work to the ones available in the store. It is durable, and easy to clean; even sawdust, rust, coal, and hide-glue have not affected it negatively. A washboard can remove any stubborn stain from it quickly. I spilled bleach on mine, and even the white bleach stain was easily remedied by a little Ritz Dye and vinegar.The improvement this waistcoat could benefit from would be a large inside pocket. The lower front pockets are proper depth, by the way, so the pocket watch is not lost in a bottomless pit, as seems annoyingly popular with most modern vests I have tried.

Gutt und leiblich
The tack is of good quality; it will not fall apart like the Chinese ones in the store. Methinks this tack is especially useful because it is neutral, and is not standoffish. Its' beauty is in its' simplicity.

Dark but quality
This vest is darker than it appears, but that doesn't mean you won't have a handsome navy blue tone coming through. It can look black in poor lighting, but most of the time it'll be noticeably blue. Material and buttons are sturdy. I recommend adding a pocket watch to this, especially with a silver chain.

Colourful
A superb colour that will work well with anything! I bought it to fit a 19th century worker's outfit, which I can casually or formally wear to any event. The fabric is very comfortable. Definitely add an ascot and a vest to this, and you'll receive compliments right away!

Decent Enough
Do not listen to previous reviews that say they're 2 to 3 sizes bigger, they're maybe 1 size bigger at best. I am a US11(UK10) and the small size was 1 size too small, a size US10(UK9) might have just fit. Not particularly comfortable but not uncomfortable either, I would suggest getting inserts for comfort if you're planning on wearing these all day at a con.

Beaded bag
Was very happy about design and quality of this bag. The beading makes it quite study and heavy.

excellence
I have received my first vest, the Carlson. I am most pleased with it. I was very concerned with a proper fit, but the measuring instructions available in the web site guided me to a perfect fit. I am looking forward to ordering a new vest every month for at least 6 months or so, and a pocket watch, ascots, silk puff ties, etc. etc. Very, very happy with the Gentleman's Emporium!

Quality Product
These are wonderfully constructed and true to size. They are nearly perfect. The color is darker than pictured, however. I was expecting a light tan or dark cream, as that is how the listing appears. But they are closer to the khaki color that you expect from a pair of Dockers or chino style pants.

Great Boots!
Purcahsed for a "Gatsby" themed wedding, I never had a chance to wear these to break them in prior to the day. No worries - the most comfortable pair of shoes I've ever put on "right out of the box". And my feet are 12 WIDE. Very happy with the purchase!
