Over all it was a very good experience. They didn't have my husbands size,but they said they would let me know right a way when it came in. Very nice professional, company. I will not hesitate to buy from them again

Noah, or Noel, could not hear his name, a manager, took care of me by sending me a vest needed for an Off B'way play by UPS overnight without charge to me because the previous vest was too big. I returned the larger size and he helped me out. I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO appreciative of his efforts and listening to me and I will be back again and again. THANK YOU!!!!!!! You really helped me and you folks define what customer S E R V I C E is allll about!!!!!!! Grazia!

I feel your sizing charts for men's pants and men's shirt or miss leading. I wish I would've called and spoke with someone before ordering.I ended up ordering pants and shirt that were way too large. Had to send them back and re-order. I was not happy with the extra shipping charge and hassles of sending it back and re-ordering, but once I got the stuff that fit properly I was very happy.

There simply is not any other company even attempting, at any scale, to do what Historical Emporium is.

This is superior quality clothing extremely true to the relative period it represents. The victorian era clothing I purchased fits perfectly. I will wear it proudly.

I needed a Ferndale vest to go with the Ferndale pants I already have. Love the look & quality! Had to order a large as Med were out of stock & get it taken in. Then I noticed lots of things were outa stock. Demand is high so I'll def make sure I check before ordering & not wait till last minute. Glad you guys exist!

The product I ordered was the wrist lace women's gloves. My first pair fell apart after three wears. I contacted the company, told them of my problem, and was promptly sent another pair free of charge! The second pair has started to fall apart after three wears as well. I am an Interpreter of History in a plantation home. I don't over use the gloves for them to fall apart. I am very unhappy with my gloves. This will not prevent me from purchasing other items from your company.

Gentleman's Emporium sets the bar for a positive online shopping experience! Beautifully designed site, easily navigated.....lots of information, but not presented in an overwhelming, "busy" way. Products I have purchased have been of the highest quality and at the fairest of prices. Items I've ordered have arrived promptly as promised, and were packaged with obvious care. I highly recommend Gentlemen's Emporium.

Very satisfied. Have purchased other period clothing and nothing compares to the quality of this clothing. Great prices and quick delivery. Some items may require alterations or tailoring to achieve personalized fit.

Loved the vest. Could not touch a 6x vest any where for the price. I will be ordering more.

Flattering!
This blouse is constructed beautifully & the fit is true to size. There are little stretchy panels on the sides so it hugs in all the right places. Subtle, classy details. I wore it with dark brown stretchy cords & boots. Very comfortable & Got lots of compliments too!

great hat!
The quality of this hat is excellent. The fit is right on and my wife (and I)love how I look when wearing it. Next I plan to buy this hat in a darker color. We definitely plan on more purchases at Historical Emporium.

Beautiful!
Is there an option for six stars? Why six? Well, this was even MORE than I could have asked for! I was expecting JUST the ascot, as that's what was advertised, however, this ascot also came with a matching pocket square! Exactly how ascots were sold back in my day, that the modern world seems to have forgotten! Historical Emporium, however... they have not forgotten, and saved me from having to try to find a matching pocket square! The beauty, shape, size and quality of this ascot is just absolutely perfect! It foes perfectly with my purple suit, as well as a nice accent to my purple velvet smoking jacket (also from Historical Emporium) I highly recommend, if you get a smoking jacket from this site, or even a nice dark suit, this ascot is simply PERFECT! It goes just as well with my old west looks, as well as modern looks. Beautiful (and again... VERY nice touch with the pocket square being added)

Perfect belt!
I use black powder... do you have ANY idea how hard to is to find the perfect gun belt that doesn't have the damned bullet loops on it? VERY hard. Thus, my surprise to not only find one here, but, a gun belt that fits *MY* fat a$$! It fits so well, and is of such high quality, it's a bargain at twice the price! LOVE it. Fits great, and is so comfortable!

Nice, but...
The Gaiters are well made, supple leather, sizing is right on. The only comment I have is that the toe is very long and looks a little out of proportion to the foot. They are comfortable, though. Not disappointed with them or my purchase.

A lovely piece
This coat hangs so beautifully and fits so well I ordered the red one after the first wear. I am now ordering the black. I have broad shoulders so my main concern was the fit through the shoulders, that turned out to be no problem. This jacket can be worn with slacks and nice shirt for go full Victorian and wear a nice walking skirt crinoline for a lovely full effect.

Western Holster
I simply adore my new western holster for my .44 magnum. It turned out perfectly to the one I owned back in the 1980's when I wore western style. Being a concealed carry permitee, I have wanted to go back to western style carry for quiet some time, my purchase from you has enabled me to do just that. I appreciate the quality of the holster. I will recommend Historical Emporium to all my friends!!! David Gibson

Phenomenal Jacket
Ordered this jacket in size 42L as a gift for my son. He weighs 190 lbs, and stands 6ft 2in. The jacket fit perfectly. The quality and cut of the jacket are exceptional in every way. My son says he has never felt more "dashing." He intends to wear it at home, and also when he goes out.

Perfect
Bought these for CASS Canadian Nationals and they worked great over three days of shooting. Comfortable and a good fit for me. I'm a size 11US. Canadians watch out for import taxes duty etc. It's charged in full on the converted US value.

Just okay!
Style - 5 stars; fit - frames & temple lengths, too small. Not wearable. Okay, if you have a narrow face, like the model.

Great Vest
I ordered this vest to get an idea of sizing. I am a 52 belly and ordered a 4X size. I can order a 3X, as the back strap is pulled up all the way. As for the vest, I was pleasantly surprised to see a quality inner lining on a canvas vest. The workmanship is excellent. I will be wearing this vest to cosplay conventions as an everyday wear. I plan on ordering some other clothing soon.

Nice
The straps need to be longer especially the one that goes under your boot it barely fit my size 10 boot, the fit is so snug I have to have help putting them on but they look great and are well made.

runs large, expensive
I purchased this blouse for my teen daughter to wear in a production set in the late 1800s. The style was perfect, the blouse looked great up close and on stage. The shipping was very fast. The blouse will be a great addition to our growing costume wardrobe. I would give this 5 stars except for a few issues ... First, the sizing information for the blouse is not helpful. We measured exactly based on the sizing info posted and purchased a large. It was HUGE all over. We had to quickly purchase a smaller size which fit perfectly. Second, right away the buttons began to unravel and had to be re-sewn, AND the buttonholes were also unraveling. Third, this blouse is pricey at $56.95, especially with the buttons and buttonholes not sewn well. Regarding the sizing information: sizes are suggested based only on bust measurements. It would be helpful if the specific measurements of the blouse (shoulder width, arm length, as well as a flat measurement of the torso width of the blouse) would be posted for each size. Customers could then make a more informed size choice and would be less likely to have to pay for a return.
