I needed a costume in a hurry for a production that was two weeks away. Thankfully Historical Emporium had the size and style I needed. It arrived in time, needed minimal alteration and looked great on stage.

The Historical Emporium provides the most outstanding customer service I have ever received on the internet. Items arrived very quickly and exchanges were made flawlessly. In many ways I felt as if I was their most important customer.

All companys have problems sometimes. How they deal with them tells you alot. I had a size isdue with one coat. The Emporium's customer service has a knowledgeable human answer the phone (no auto-attendant). I got to talk to a PERSON! One who seemed to care and actually want to help me! I nearly dropped the phone. Could not be happier.

I bought two hats for my boyfriend for Valentines Day. I live in the middle of nowhere. My address is new and they had issues with it and contacted me to confirm that was the right address instead of assuming. Their communication was awesome!

I ordered this vest for my husband - it is amazing! And shipping was much faster than estimated. Instead of the 5-7 days estimated - I got it in 3!! I got it in time for the weekend event we were attending. It was awesome. Expensive - but the quality is excellent.

Everything was wonderful, love buying from your site. Everything of a high quality. The only thing I would have loved was somehow knowing the exchange rate while shopping. Maybe have a button when logging in to pick the country you live in so you can see the differences in pricing. I live in Australia.

Ordered a new Homburg hat and the first one to arrive was to large. I sent it back and asked for the next size down and the entire transaction took less then a week.. Great service, the hat is what I was looking for and the price and quality were as advertised. I would recommend these guys to anyone. The efficiency and quality of the service is great.

After having purchased the black canvas work vest, I ordered the Buford tweed for something a bit less casual. Ordering based on my measurements, the sizing for both vests was spot on, and both fit great! The Emporium was sold out of the Buford when I went looking, so I contacted customer support by email to ask if the vest would be available in the future. A representative wrote that it could take a couple of weeks for them to become available, and would I like to be contacted when the vest was available? Heck yeah! I got an email a couple, three weeks later and said the vests were in. I ordered the next day. I received it a couple days later. Their turn around and shipping times are first rate. The tweed is now in my regular vest rotation, based on what I'm wearing at the time. Measure yourself, or have someone do it for you, and check the sizing for the items you are looking for. Depending on the manufacturer, a 2X, or 2XLT, can mean different things. With that proviso, I will most certainly be doing business with The Emporium in the future as my needs dictate.

Size Problem
The vest is beautiful. However, I'm 5 feet 10 inches tall, which is kinda average, and the vest is too short for me. The fit is good except for the length.

Good value
The fit was just as I'd hoped and the value for these pants is very very good. I'm not too crazy about the front pockets and metal buttons and button fly, but I understand these to fit with a western feel for what seems ot be the style of these clothes. Also, this canvas is quite stiff for what I expect to wear in an everyday trouser, but it's very sturdy material. Overall I'm really happy and intend to buy more of this style of trouser.

These pants rock!
I just received these beautiful well made canvas trousers and I love them! I already had the length shortened from 36 to 32 and I ordered a size up in the waist because they come up higher on the body than normal pants, and now they fit me PERFECTLY and are extremely comfortable to wear! The Y back suspenders I got to go with them from HE work great with these trousers. I couldn't be happier with my purchases from Historical Emporium!

Great Suspenders!
I just LOVE these suspenders! They work perfectly with my classic canvas trousers (which I also LOVE!). I was afraid they might be too long after reading other reviews, but they are perfect for me! I stand 6 feet 1 inch tall and there's plenty of room for adjustments in these Y back suspenders. Highly recommended!!!

Great item for the price
I received my vest within just a few days from ordering it and the construction and fit are great. Nice heavy duty canvas. I am 5'10" and around 225lbs and I went with the 2XT and it is a perfect fit and the style is just what I was looking for to wear when I volunteer as a bartender at some local vaudeville shows.

Great Vest, Great Fit, Great Service
Follow the measurements on the sizing chart, you won't be disappointed. This is a great looking, great fitting vest. And it's well made. This is my second purchase from the Emporium, and it won't be my last. I'm going to need a new vest for a character I portray, and I'll be ordering a new vest before the festival season begins. Their turn-around and shipping times are great. By the way, while the Buford vest works great for another of my characters, I purchased it to wear at work at the university library and it gets tons of compliments. 'nough said!

Awesome shirt
I ordered the Vivien Fishtail Skirt (Gray), Velvet Tailcoat, and Marcus Regency Shirt with Removable Jabot - White. I was looking for a formal outfit for an awards show, which was out of the ordinary, and these 3 items were perfect! When I dress formally, I lean towards metro-sexual, so this long skirt with this shirt and velvet jacket was both sexy and metro. I received many "amazing" "fabulous" "gorgeous" compliments from others at the show. I ordered all 3 on a two-day shipping, and in fact received my items two days after I ordered online, which is the first time I have ever received items within 2 days. Sizing was correct to the size chart. The jabot does pull the collar of the shirt down, as you can see in the picture of the woman wearing it. It is quite noticeable. The lace cuffs sticking out from the jacket sleeves is a gorgeous detail.

fab fit
I am 6" 1' and weight 183 lbs and normally wear a size 34 for normal pants. So I ordered a size 36 for the crimson canvas and it fits me very well. Had to get the length adjusted by a professional tailor. Despite not having a lining, the canvas pants are very soft and comfortable. Will probably go for the olive green next time.

HOLSTER
This holster would be PERFECT if the buckle had a roller on it. I thought about doing a replacement buckle, but it's not on with a snap, it's on with a rivet, so I'm not messing with it. If it was on with a snap, you could interchange buckles. Otherwise, it's SUPER.

Sizes are limited
I have a small frame so finding historical clothing is difficult for me. The length of the arms are longer than I expected and I found this shrug to fit larger than I'm comfortable with. I'd consider having an XS option but other than that it's pretty good craftsmanship.

Costume Boots for Theater
As a man wearing ladies' boots for the first time, I am both sympathetic to the demands of women's fashion (!), and very pleased by fit and relative comfort of these boots! The sizing was perfect (men's size plus 1.5), and they are actually not difficult to walk in (for short distances). The heel has a good-sized cross-section and is quite stable. The faux leather is probably not as thick and as supportive as real leather would be, but then again the price was very reasonable and they look great! now if I can just remember to pick up my dress so I don't step on it...
