The quality of the clothing is very good. The clothing I ordered was well made and attractive. The problem was that the clothing was too big for me. I wish you had petite sizes.

The suit I bought was a hit at our annual edwardian period event at our museum. It fit well, looked great on me, and is well made.

The customer service I received leaves nothing to be desired. Item was received in good time and securely packaged. The jacket, without a doubt, is of high quality. It would be somewhat on the warm side in warm weather. There are no inside pockets nor do the two (2) lower outside pockets have positive closures, i.e., no buttons , no Velcro. Moreover, the jacket does not have the so-called "hand-warmer" pockets which seem to be standard on jackets of this type.

Dear Sir/Madam: Your service is impeccable and your clothing is of the highest quality. A customer service representative contacted me promptly, regarding a request for my street address, as I had provided a P.O. Box only. The gentleman was polite, well-spoken and very efficient; I received my order two days later, on time. Your company offers an excellent selection of period clothing and colors, high quality fabrics and professional stitching. It is a pleasure -- instead of a disappointment -- to open an order received from The Gentleman's Emporium. Professional packaging is the icing on the cake.

Impressed!
I was very impressed by the quality of this skirt. It is very well put together and has a good heavy feel about it. I bought this to wear to my daughter's Steampunk wedding but will be wearing it well beyond that because I love it. I will be wearing the tulle bustle skirt under it and a corset over it. It looks fantastic and I can't wait to wear it to the wedding. My husband will be wearing the brown cotton twill vest and trousers which match. I bought size XL as my waist size is 34". Because of the design, it is possible to add another button to make it a little larger or smaller. Very very happy!!

Better Than I expected!
I wasn't sure I was going to like this blouse until it arrived and I saw and felt it. It is made of good quality cotton and very well put together. I tried it on with the black lace jabot I bought to go with it and tucked it under the tulle bustle skirt worn under my brown cotton twill skirt and it looked amazing. The blouse has a long tail so I don't have to worry about it coming untucked. I bought size XL as I have a 40" bust and it fits perfectly.

Wonderful After Slight Alteration
This Lace Jabot was perfect. But when I attached it to my shirt as in the picture, it fell forward slightly. So I carefully stitched through the holes and attached it just under the cameo pin with a basting stich and now it lays perfectly back against the shirt. The jabot is well made and the alterations were easy to make. I was very happy with the product.

Just Right!
This bustle skirt is well made. It would be suitable to be worn outside or under a skirt. I chose to wear it under my cotton twill walking skirt. I was concerned that the cotton twill skirt was a bit too long and heavy, so I wasn't sure how it would work out, but when I put the skirt on over the bustle skirt I was very pleased. It had enough body to push the skirt out a bit and had a great bustle effect--not too much and not too little. I no longer need to hem the skirt as it gave it just the right amount of lift I needed. It was wrinkled when I took it out of the package but after ironing it on the Nylon setting with steam, it is beautiful. I love it!

Ah, the luxe life
I've been fascinated by smoking jackets since I was a kid, watching old black and white movies. Every now and then I'd search for one, but they were either threadbare used ones, cheap costume types, or way too expensive modern day versions. Happened upon Historical Emporium and took a chance and ordered their vintage version. Love it! The material and construction are high quality. Looks and feels like it should cost a whole lot more. But the most important thing? Well, the difference between having a smoke, and having a smoke in this jacket is something that can't quite be explained, it just has to be experienced.

A Hit
Wore this suit at our museum's Edwardian period event and it was a hit with visitors and other volunteers as well. It was a comfortable fit and looked good on me. The construction is very good. It has ample pockets for all the accoutrements a gentleman must have!

Just what I needed
I bought this so I could expand my period wardrobe for a museum in a old gold rush town that I docent at. I like to have different looks to cover a period in mid-century 1800. Perfect shirt to go over my simple skirt and work shoes.

Great Belt & Holster, fit & finish are Excellent, bullet keepers on Belt all are 100 % securely placed & tight. Nelt size is perfect per my measurements, Holster fits my 1873 Colt SA w/5.5 " barrel just right. When it is on, it looks Great & Functions Better. So today I had to buy me a proper shirt, & Did. Ok now I'll send in a photograph.. P.S. Any one who thinks the trigger hold doesn't adjust, is just a rookie. I pulled mine to fit for a perfect break & it is RIGHT. Just The way it is Supposed to be. Thanks to you all, YOU GUYS DO THIS RIGHT! See you soon.. Dan .45 Buffalo

Love my vest!
When I initially bought it, I was planning to get it tailored, so I won't be complaining about the fit. The vest has the matte black material all around, so it can be worn as a stand-alone vest. The two front pockets are real, not fakes. I have had it for a year now and still love it. Overall, this is a very sturdy vest and would definitely recommend it.

Perfect Period piece
I have recently become interested in the Steampunk genre. I added this hat to provide the look and it couldn't have been a better purchase. It fits exactly as ordered and expected. It arrived quickly and in perfect shape.

mauvaise taille
pantalon bien trop grand et mal ajusté compte tenu du tableau des tailles proposés. sans parler des frais de douane exorbitants !!
