gentlemans emporium is awesome. Quality clothing at a fair price. Ive been buying my clothes (literally all my clothes, as i am a steampunk 24/7) from these guys for years. I always receive my orders on time, and without issue, and have always been blown away by the products they offer.

I bought a Laredo hat. It was a good fit. It was delivered within the listed time frame and it was competitively priced. I would, and probably will, buy here again.

I need the coat for a costume event in Venice Italy and I ordered by the measurements on the site and it fit PERFECT. The fabric is great, love the ties in the back and can't wait to wear it.

Being a new customer there was some delay with confirming my Visa act. Hopefully this will not be a problem with the next purchase

I was very happy with the collars I purchased, however I was disappointed to find that they weren't previously starched. Although this isn't a major problem it's just that I now have to spend a lot of time doing this and finding the right strength solution to make them work.

This was my first order with this company and I was so impressed with the quality of service that I will return in the future if ever I want more Steampunk or Victorian clothing. Eve (I think that was her name) was exceptional. Before placing my order online I called to ask questions about color and fit of some items I was interested in ordering. The pictures online made it difficult to coordinate colors. She was amazing. She helped me choose the correct size for my shirt based on my actual chest size and how much it might shrink. She also helped me choose the correct size pants since the sizes are different from regular store-bought pants. (Unfortunately I didn't order the Burgandy railhead pants that I wanted because they would not have arrived in time for the convention; and now those pants have sold-out - big bummer). Anyway. She also helped me select a pair of suspenders that would match the Burgandy bowler hat I wanted. I chose to pick up my items since I was in a time crunch. Eve was so sweet and friendly! Everything she helped me choose fit perfectly and looked really great together! I was stunned at the ease of the transaction! Thank you, Historical Emporium and thank you, Eve (I hope that's your name).

Fabulous!
I like a little history in my wardrobe and this shirt fit my style. The material is great quality and the craftsmanship is on point. I like to be different and this shirt speaks for itself.

Form + Function
I'm a front office worker who routinely has to go into the shop. I've had cuts, bruises, and gashes that tear up my regular work pants. These are well made, and so far has helped avoid having to buy another pair of pant every other week. I thoroughly enjoy them, they look great, and I've never had more compliments on my pants then now. Double duty as a cosplay piece? Fantastic.

I didn't know what to expect regarding quality, being a first time customer. Was very pleased with the quality of the shirt and fit. Would recommend the shirt to anybody.

Inscribed Window Pocket Watch
This is a pretty great watch. I like the closed face, which will help me to keep the viewing "glass" immaculate, and just looks nifty when you're opening it up to look. It was had for a pretty good price too, although for anything less I would start to be suspicious about its quality. Now, the one thing I dislike is that the face is not entirely closed. It has a small "window" in the center so you can look through easily and check the time, but to me, this pretty much defeats the purpose of a closed-face watch. Also, from time to time it requires cleaning because of this feature. Dust from my pocket gets into it and has to be wiped off. If I can find a way to put a little piece of metal of the same color inside the "window" and seal it somehow, I will absolutely do that. I wish H/E would have just carried an entirely closed-face watch in the first place. However, I was not misled by anything about the product listing. I knew full-well that the face was partially open when I ordered it, but this was the closest thing to what I actually want so it was good enough. I have some very specific criteria for a pocket-watch, but once again, it's a great watch and I'm glad I bought it, but if I can mod it to close the face entirely in a way that looks good, I totally will.

Couldn't Be Better
So I just got a new Western style .22 for my birthday and, of course, I needed a Western holster and belt. I Googled "holster". Several sites came up; I spent close to an hour on various sites. I compared products, companies and cost. I decided Historical Emporium had what appeared to be a good quality holster for a competitive price. I placed an order. I was surprised when a fine new holster appeared on my front porch four days later. It is, in fact, a good quality holster at a competitive price. What else can I say? Couldn't be better. Price, quality and delivery time. It Could Not Be Any Better.

Great Dress
Very nice material and beautiful pattern. I'm 5'4" and 148 lbs and it fit beautifully. The length of the skirt will adjusted but is simply a matter of rolling up the waistband without need for any tailoring. This looks wonderful and will be fun to accessorize for our Old West parties and reenactments.

Nice
These gauntlet gloves are well-made of good quality leather. The leather itself is quite soft and supple. These are dress gloves, not work gloves. They should last a long time if used for that purpose.

I ride a lot for work. I wear old style western attire because the design fits the job! I get my money's worth from WE and would recommend them to anyone that sits a horse for work!!

Great Gear
I ride a lot for my job. The gear I get from Western Emporium holds up to my daily wear and tear! I buy old style riding/ cowboy attire from WE because the old timers designed clothes that fit the work! If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

Size Problem
I followed the instructions for determining my size, ordered 36 waist, even though my normal waist size is 34, and had to take the waist in 2 inches.

Arlington Vest - Blue
The fabric is amazing and very impressive. However, the size was a bit tight. I ordered the 4X which stated it fit 55 to 57 inches. I measure right at 55 and it was very tight.

Fits as great as it looks!
I recently received my double-breasted vest in the crimson colour, and I have to say, it looks every bit as great as it fits! It feels sturdy and well-made and best of all, I have something I can wear casually as well as to events and conventions with equal aplomb! I may well find myself ordering more of these if the one that I got is any indicator!

Comfy shirt
I wanted to get a comfy yet slightly stylish shirt for a Steampunk convention and this one is perfect. I live in a hot climate and tend to get overheated easily. This shirt did a good job of keeping me comfortable. It's loose but not so billowy that it looks like a pirate shirt. The collar is just right for a casual look or a slightly dressier look when paired with a vest and tie - which is what I wanted. It's held-up really well in the washing machine. No loss of shape. Great shirt!

Burgandy Derby
Boy do I love my hat! The color is a true Burgundy- not too red and not too brown, yet just Burgundy enough to be unique and stylish. The fit is perfect and the quality is better than expected for the reasonable price. I wasn't sure if it was going to be like a costume hat. Fortunately, it's very good quality, fully lined, and feels as if it will be with me a long time!
