I ordered four shirts before you were able to provide one in my size. My shirt size divides two sizes and you still couldn't supply me. I will say that the shirt I received satisfied my objective. I am a Santa and look forward to trying other purchases.

We ordered several dresses, a mans suit, and 2 men's vests. All the products were beautifully crafted and arrived to us in a rapid fashion. We ordered the wrong size in the suit and one of the dresses. I recommend paying attention to the size chart provided with each garment description. The return of those items was easy to accomplish and was rapidly processed. We are looking forward to sending you a picture of your clothes on our wedding day. Thank you! Also--a heads up to women looking for a suit-- we were looking for a mens suit for a woman in a hurry. If the medium was in stock I'm pretty sure it would have looked great on her. We ordered 2 vests and are still deciding between them-- they are both keepers.

I ordered the black Calvary boots. They look great, but I had to return for a larger size because they run small. No problem. I called and explained the situation, they were very helpful and super nice. Can't wait to get the new pair. This is a great company, will recommend highly. Thank you all ! Richard Mckenney

The Silver Klondike vest I ordered ran smaller than the red I I previously ordered so I have returned it for an exchange of the next larger size. The color and fabric were excellent. Looking forward to receiving the new one as I am enjoying the red one.

I loved the lace gloves. They fit beautifully, and will be perfect for our "Mad Hatter Tea" luncheons our organization holds every year. So glad I found this site, and plan to visit it often.

Third blouse I've bought and have never had anything but fast service and great product ! Thank you. I shall be buying another blouse again at a later date. Love the old-fashioned look and the 'wide', useful sleeves that, because of their 'good-ol'-days' use of ample material, can actually be rolled up !!

The sizes were incorrect, I ordered a size larger than normal, too tight, returned and ordered two size larger too loose, took to tailor and corrected. The end results, I have told people that wanted to purchase to just go ahead and order too big and plan on a trip to tailor. The shipping costs to return and resend are not small might just as well plan on a tailor trip if you get lucky and size works out good. both pants and shirt way oversize. I am in market for a hat but due to the last effort am looking to buy where I can try on instead. Your customer service is wonderful, the quality of the material seams good, time will tell ask me next fall after a season of wearing it.

Loved the site and the clothes. I would like to see a little more information about some of the clothes, such as, for the coats it explains the a "long" is 2" longer in the sleeves. Longer than what? Also, the coats are sold by the chest measurement, but the vests are by small, medium, large, etc. I also bought a holster for my black powder pistol. I took the measurements and rounded up. There were 2 of us that were buying these, Both of us measured the same size and we bought the same holster, mine in right hand and his in left. His fits like it should. Mine is one size too big. Unfortunately, I do not have the time to return it before the show. I will just have to buy another belt.

ordered a John Bull hat.. size was a little larger than expected and it was quite 'round' on the inside.. pinching the front and rear of my head and needing some padding on the sides to keep it form wobbling .. the brim was very much more curled up than the picture .. all in all ok but not as good a deal as I had hoped

Ordering online was quick and easy. Product arrived within a couple of days and was exactly as represented. I needed to exchange for one size smaller and called Melissa (I hope I got her name right). She advised me on what to do and the turnaround time was minimal. The smaller size allows for more flexibility to tighten or expand as needed.

OK shirt
I liked the Laborers Shirt much better than this one. This was of a thinner material and I liked a collar much better than the mandarin look. Quality seemed ok but again in my opinion not as nice or authentic as the Laborer Shirt. If you like this style of pure white color and a thinner material than you could do worse I'd think. Just ok.

Good Quality
These are very thick, heavy and of good quality workmanship. I had to return them because I just couldn't get a comfortable fit quite right. But others may love them and get them to fit like a glove. Not a summer pair of pants! Very thick and heavy, great for cold winter months and you have to get used to the thickness of them.

Quality!
Now this is a great quality shirt with a lot of unique qualities! The fabric is very thick and heavy. A thick off white/beige linen look. Looks great tucked in or left out. If you leave the shirt out, it is a bit long but I'm sure a tailor at any dry cleaners can take the hem up a couple of inches if desired. Really great look if you like this style. Shirt looks like it can last a lifetime and goes will with jeans and boots. Good purchase, well worth the price!

Hmmm not so good
Some of the items on here are amazing, I found a great shirt, heavy, quality made and unique that I loved and I still enjoy one of the top hats, but this coat, not so good. It was thinner and more cheaply made than it looks or I expected. And the fabric, it was almost like a wool flocking was glued over another fabric as there was a small tear on the back like the wool was coming off another layer underneath. And the material is kind of thin looking in person. For the price point, I sent this one back. It is more of a costume type garment, not something you can incorporate everyday into your winter wardrobe fashion. Fortunately, this company is very good with their customer service and returns so if you come across something that doesn't live up to your expectation, its not a hassle to return. I'll still shop here as some items you may find are quality made, it just depends on what you come across and take a liking to. This coat, thumbs down, Worth the try though. Thanks!

My Luck
I ordered this cutaway coat in Charcoal because they did not have my size (50) in Black. When the coat arrived, I tried it on and found that the coat was too large. I sent it back and exchanged it for a 48, and this time in black since they had that in stock. It arrived today and am happy to say that the fit is wonderful.

a wonderful buy
When this shirt arrived the first thing i noticed was how soft the fabric was . Once i wore out to a halloween event and felt how good it was on my body i thought how outstanding it really is i wore it with my velvet collar mourning coat black white spat boots and my nobleman's cane and stood out i can recommend how comfortable this shirt is you must not wear a vest/waist coat with ito though as it will hide the overall beauty and fine craftsmanship/tailoring of the shirt unless you wear a open vest Once more a wonderful item from this company with fast shipping

Nice rig!
Before seniority set in, I used to hand carve and tool leather. I've seen western six gun rigs out there that are half as nice at 2 or 3 times the price of these. I did have to work on mine some to get the buckle to allow me to use the hole for the smallest waist size. No big problem, as I still have most of my leather working tools around. This is good quality, heavy duty leather, and the dye job looks much better in person than the online photo. It should last longer than I will. I'm very satisfied with my new rig, the great service, and speedy delivery from Historical Emporium. Very nice rig for the price!

Old stock
Nice quality. Came folded in half in an old broken plastic case. Looked a bit like it had been rattling around the warehouse for a few years. Would have preferred a storage box that was big enough to store a somewhat delicate item laid out flat.

The coat I ordered was great. It fit great, looked great. PS the service was great! I needed the coat to arrive in a couple of days and the person I ordered it from assured me it would and she was 100% correct I received it exactly as she stated. Thank you and your staff.

Adjusts to fit!
Beautifully crafted dress with attention to detail. Of special note-- I am usually a medium in women's clothes. Due to my largest part... I am an extra large in this dress. Pay attention to the size chart when ordering. Once in the correct size according to the size chart--- the dress is fully and separately adjustable in the bust, waist, and hips with the satin corset lace in the back. May fit a variety of body types "just right".

Beautiful attention to detail
The garment is beautifully made and has charming embellishments. The pearls along the neckline and the flowerlets at the waist add beauty. The rhinestone clasp at the waist gives it a little something extra special.

Beautiful
These gloves fit beautifully and are so very feminine. I love wearing them to our "teas" that we hold, plus, they make me feel very old world, indeed. I am not in to the gothic look, and they are beautiful with a black dress and hat. So glad I found them.

Klondike Vest - Silver
I had previously ordered another Klondike Vest (Red) and it fit according to the size specified. The silver one seemed to run small so I have returned it for an exchange of a larger size. The color and fabric were as stated. I truly am enjoying the first one I ordered so I am looking forward to receiving the new one.

I'm impressed with the material and craftsmanship. It fits perfect, it's comfortable, and I like the styling. I've received numerous compliments and forwarded those folks to your website. I will definitely be making more purchases from your store in the future.

beautiful cloak!
The cloak will not be worn until next summer, so I cannot review it properly for how it is on a day to day basis. However, it has arrived quickly and it looks great on my partner, for whom I purchased it. And he loves it, too. We'll know better how it performs 6 months from now!

Nice color for any hat
It was a little hard at first clipping it onto my hat. Once I clipped it on it held on well into the night and the times I used the hat again. It's a good look in person.

I rarely wear suspenders so for the first time they took me a few minutes to put on the pants I purchased. Other than that they're easy to adjust. Forgot I was even wearing them as the night went on!

Great pants
The pants fit as expected. I would recommend picking up suspenders so they don't slip off. No way around that really which is by design. Great color, pretty accurate with the photo you see online. It was a great purchase for my needs.

Excellent Coat
Depending on your outfit it might be good to plan a size or two larger. Especially if you're planning to wear a shirt + vest. Other than that the coat is excellent. I'm a fan.

Great holster rig!
I needed a new rig for my Smith & Wesson Model 29 and to complete my western cowboy outfit. This unit is ideal for both needs. It is well made and is able to be fine tuned for fit. I wore it to a halloween party and used a Crossman single action six pellet gun and the look was perfect. Measuring for hip size is tricky and I needed to return the unit for one size smaller as the weight of the gun and cartridges in the loops tended to slip down to my knees. The replacement came quickly and fits perfectly. Use a good quality leather dressing on all surfaces to keep it new for years.

Great looking vest
Great material and color of vest. Picked up a medium and found it to be a good fit with minimal adjustment.

The devil is in the details
I like the pattern and design of these double breasted vests so much that I purchased several in different colors. You don't see anything much like them on the market today. My only disappointments are that I like to sport a pocket watch when I get dressed up and these vests don't have pockets of any sort. Also, the added touch of a buckle on the back strap would have been nice. Two details that seem to have fallen by the wayside in the name of cost savings. I give this vest 4 out of five stars.
