I have been looking to purchase some clothing from here for a long time and finally got the opportunity for my wedding. The shirt I bought was perfect, the process of purchase was efficient and easy. And the follow up on the purchase is persistent. Shipping of the item was also very fast. All in all more than happy on every level with my experience with Historical Emporioum thank you so much for the finishing touch to my wedding outfit.

Your customer service has been great. I bought a 1900s bathing suite for men and one for women. my husbands fit great. Mine was too small but that wasn't your fault. I didn't read the reviews to s3ee that they ran small I needed a replacement and ordered another larger size and you got it right to me. We have a party next weekend where they said to bring suits to swim. so we're are showing up with these. It should be really fun. Thanks Barbara Weaver

Excellent holster! Just what I was looking for, and good quality too. The price was great. Some places I checked wanted twice the price. A very pleasant, helpful staff. Product and service, just like the good old days!

I liked the site and customer service. Only thing I was upset with that this was not the hat. It was a bigger one. The hat did not sit on my head right. Had to try to pin it down put did not stay to good. Could not wear the strap. my. Chin broke out. Put I did give your site to a few other people.

Unfortunately, the item I truly wanted was out of stock. But, I did get the next best thing. Delivery was very fast and the fit and look of the vest I ordered was just right. I am doing just a little something for St. Patty's Day when I visit New Orleans. I was inspired by the Steam Punk wear at a new restaurant at Universal Orlando, Toothsome Chocolate Emporium. I purchased a brown bowler hat there, but really had nothing else to go with it. I do wear fedoras and driver caps and it is just part of my own style. Once home, I thought what could I get for the hat. With the trip to New Orleans coming up, St. Patty's Day too, it was time to put it all together. I located your website and ordered an emerald green vest and puff tie, pants and shirt I purchased locally. I also order a snap front shirt for my fiance' and a Cameo necklace. Excited to put it all together, and more excited as she does not know what I have in store, as it is a surprise. But when I tried it all on, my daughter thought it looked great. I had only one issue and it was my fault. The necklace came in the same package and was not easily found in the box as it was stuck in the corner. I emailed then to ask about it and was told it shipped. Good thing I still had the box. I hope to buy more in the future.

I recently discovered Historical Emporium and have ordered several items including vests, ties and a watch. All items I have bought so far have fit very well and are top quality. The service has been outstanding and I have received the items in very timely fashion. I'm thoroughly happy with this company and their products.

Great service! I had ordered the wrong size for a jacket (way too big). I returned it and the new jacket was delivered the same week. I did everything from the Product Returns/Reimbursement tab online - without having to bother anyone from the 1-800 number.

Charming insight into one of the most colorful of the great "robber barons" Happy to wear his vest even though I needed a much smaller size. He reportedly weighed about 350! George

I needed a costume for a play my daughter was in, but needed it quickly. I found the perfect edwardian suit but wasn't sure about sizing. I called and the gentleman I spoke to sent the outfit in two sizes. I received two days later, the sz small fit perfect and we loved it! Retuned the larger size and received credit right away. Thank you so much!

I have no issues with either the service or the product I bought from Historical Emporium. The belt and holster set I bought was of reasonably good quality and the price was equally fair and acceptable.

The pants fit very well but I would be remiss if I didn't mention the fact they have no pockets. This was a surprise to me. I wonder what gentlemen did to accommodate their personal items like handkerchiefs, combs, wallets etc in days of old. I guess I'll purchase a men's pocketbook if there is such a thing. The pants are lined and the material is pretty good quality.

I would like to say that I was so satisfied with everything from ordering on the phone to the delivery. In fact, I had searched everywhere in fresno and the enternet and couldn't find a tie that was different than the norm. I accidently stumbled upon your website and was elated to say I found my tie to fit my woman tuxcedo. I received alot of compliments and was sooooo happy that my friends loved it and asked where I found it. Thank you Rosemary

I ordered a gun belt and holster for my husband's birthday. I ordered it on a Monday for his birthday which was coming up on Saturday. I was worried it wouldn't come in time, but it arrived just two days later on Wednesday! And it was exactly as pictured. My husband loves it.

I inadvertently ordered two of the same thing (the ordering part of the website was cumbersome on an iPhone). A polite and competent customer service guy fixed everything the next day.

I live in Prescott AZ, a Victorian/western town, and work here as a bespoke boot maker, using techniques and standards from the craftsmanship period of the early 1900s. I decided years ago to wear only cotton, as far as possible. I find the stylings and fashions created and provided by the Historical Emporium to be just right for everyday wear in my town and my general life style without being a costume. Thank you and keep up the good work.

Quality Vest
I needed a vest for a late 19th century ball. Made of brushed cotton, the fabric looks like wool but is not as warm--a great feature for dancing. The four pockets, metal buttons, arm-hole design, and straight cut at the bottom hem are all very authentic looking. In contrast with historical vests, however, the lapels do not lead into a collar around the back of the neck. The lapels end at the shoulder seam. This is not noticeable with a jacket, but it looks a little strange when the vest is worn by itself. I usually wear a medium in shirts and vests, but I ordered a small after looking at the recommended measurements on the website. The fit was perfect.

Vesta Blouse Ruched Sleeve
WE ordered a size large first, thinking it would be more than ample but upon receiving it, it was obvious to my wife without even trying it on that it was way, way too small so ordered a 2X. My wife is a 36D and the 2X fits fine but she can't gain any weight!!!! Good incentive. The blouse looks lovely on her. We will look at other colors and maybe order a couple more if you have them. Thanks. Richard

Smaller sizes please!
I love the materials used on this Topcoat, it really oozes quality for a good price. I also wanted to adress an issue I have overall on this site, which was extra prevalent on this item (even with an undercoat). Us europeans aren't as large as you americans. I always buy your smallest size and I'm an average/small sized 22 yo male who drowns in every single one of them. A huge part of my life is your clothes since I wear them daily but I don't have the money to resize all of the clothes I buy here. I don't know how many international buyers you have but I daresay that I can't be the only one who suffers from this issue. Keep up the good work and a big thank you from Sweden!

Very pleased with this product!
Ordered this dress because I would not have had time to make it myself. Was very pleased with the quality & workmanship! The fabric has a really nice feel to it, is a good weight, & the structure of the dress is very detailed & finished off very well. The color & print is beautiful & there is a lot of fabric in the skirt! I will wear it with a hoop slip underneath! Can't wait to wear it for our upcoming party!

Awesome products
Everything arrived on time for our event with the expedited shipping and the quality of the suit jacket and vest and tie were excellent! The pants were not the correct size , so I think on the next order we would check more closely on the style and the sizing of trousers .Overall very satisfied with this company and it's products. Would use again and would recommend to others

Great Jacket for Evening!
It's very comfortable and reasonably priced. It's a great looking and classy jacket for evening entertainment at home when one doesn't want to be too formal - but not too casual nor sloppy either. Highly recommended!

Western Set Up for Grandson
We wanted to put together a western set up with a single action .22 for our grandson. We did a lot of shopping for the belt/holster arrangement. The really nice ones were too expensive. Cheaper ones were crap. I stumbled onto Historical Emporium website, and found just what we are looking for at a reasonable price. It arrived in just a couple of days, and we are very pleased. Good quality for the price. Thick leather, stiff but will work out & be a fine setup. Based on price, quality & service, we will buy from Historical Emporium again. Thanks for the opportunity to comment!

BLACK PARASOL
ARRIVED WITHIN 4 DAYS OF ORDERING. THOUGHT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A LITTLE STRONGER FABRIC, BUT WAS NICE. ONLY THING THERE IS NO WAY TO KEEP THE PARASOL CLOSED, FOR THE PRICE THOUGHT IT SHOULD HAVE HAD SOMETHING TO KEEP IT CLOSED.

Very Cool Pocketwatch
This watch is very impressive and keeps accurate time when properly wound. I saw a VERY similar watch at a local store, made by the same company and the price they quoted me was $300.00. Glad I found it here first! Thanks, Historical Emporium!

Pants that fit
I am a bespoke boot maker and live in a Victorian/Western town in the American SouthWest. The Black Canvas Trousers are a perfect fit for everyday wear, and a great replacement for Wranglers which I have otherwise worn all my adult life. The leg length is perfect for the stacked look which I prefer, and the smooth front waste feels secure and comfortable with suspenders. The heavy duty cotton fabric gives me great service as my everyday work pants. And the cinch belt at the back even keeps me looking like I still have my "glutes".

best tie for double breasted vest
It is solidly made and easy to adjust and put on. The pattern is classic and it is man-made fabric for those who do not want to support boiling silk worms to death due to objection to unnecessary killing of animals.

Improve your hat.
This has much more charisma than the black band that was on my hat. Also green is my favorite color. Putting it on the hat requires just a modicum of patience; take your time.

Very Fine
I am a connoisseur of fine gloves, from Italian Peccary with cashmere lining to American deer hide. I fount these gloves to be a very good value. I have been looking for an all purpose unlined leather glove for some time and chanced upon these when buying a gun-belt and holster for my .44 Magnum. These went with me on a recent Spring camping trip and performed well for dexterity and comfort. Used for driving and all purpose, hauling wet firewood and for light duty warmth. I can't yet attest as to longevity, but they have won my esteem thus far.
