I was happy to find excellent quality fabrics used and good construction of the clothing that I ordered. The transaction was smooth and fast. Within very few days I received exactly what I ordered. I have already highly recommended this seller to other docents at the Henry Clay Estate.

Hello from Australia! I have been very pleased indeed with my purchases from the Historical Emporium. There has not been any issue at all with any aspect of the transactions. The clothing is Excellent, high quality materials, beautifully finished. I have also bought a number of items for my Daughter from H.E. She is so very happy with her items... dresses & boots... they make up her favourite outfits of all in her wardrobe. I am intending to make more purchases from the Historical Emporium in the future.

I had ordered pants as a gift for a friend, who apparently did not measure themselves correctly to gage their proper size, as such what arrived was comically huge on them. Historical Emporium offered immediate solutions without question. I will definitely order from them again in future.

Really great source for well made period clothing. Very solid, durable craftsmanship, made to be worn on a regular basis. Customer service was readily available & helpful the few times I've had questions needing a live conversation. Have ordered on several occasions, shipping was quick, and the products totally delivered on my expectations, so I will definitely be shopping here for my nicer clothes as the need arises!

Was quite surprised at how fast my order came. Also returned two pairs of Trousers due to wrong sizes. They credited my card back very fast once they got the returned items. Very friendly and professional on the phone. I love these pants. Sizing a little tricky due to the high waist but they are easy to adjust.

I bought several items including a Scala tall crown bowler. The bowler's sweatband is a bit misfitted and doesn't want to stay put. I think after time and wearing the hat more and for extended periods of time it will form more to the inside of the hat. Other than that small issue I am very happy with the quality of my products.

My husband and I ordered several items in early 2017. We were very satisfied with all of our items, with the exception of the lace women's gloves I bought. I wrote to customer service and they asked me to send the gloves back to them for a refund, which I did. The refund was received quickly. I was especially thrilled with the hat I ordered, and the cotton camisole was beautifully made and of excellent quality. The ankle boots are a great fit and beautiful shape, too.

Cheap
At $7 these goggles would have been a good deal. At $12 it would have been fair. But for what I paid I think they are cheap junk. I'm not returning them because I'm not going to wear them but only going to sew them onto a driving hat.

Braces
Good quality, however only came in a "tall size" which was way to big for my husband.

steampunk bloomers
I like the bloomers I am wearing them right now with my steampunk outfit. fits as expected and is better in person then the pic I recommend it. The price was reasonable after it was on sale. I debated on getting them but when they went on sale and only had my size left I perched them and so happy I did. So comfy really good for colder days or any time you want to where them I will be wearing them allot with my green steampunk outfit.

Vest

Classy
This tie is beautiful. I was concerned about the fit since I have a 17-in neck, but it fits great. I recommend it highly with 5 stars. It did not appear on the website originally, but after I inquired about a brown tech tie, the lady I was speaking with on the phone sent me an email with the picture and description of the tie which I promptly ordered. Great service.

Fantastic Vest
This is the second vest I've ordered from Historical Emporium. I got so many comments on my first one I had to purchase another. The quality of the material and the craftsmanship are top notch.

Right, but Tight
I love everything I've purchased from Historical Emporium. This blouse is beautiful, but a tad tight through the breast area.

Good,but Tight
I love the look of the blouse, and the fabric feels dreamy. The fit is a little too snug through the breast area.

Nice
These trousers are well made and look the part. They are not very elastic and need to be tailored. i.e. I am going to have them reduced in diameter about the calves, perhaps with buttons near the ankles for a relative snug fit. I may also have a stirrup added to give the trousers a nice drape. If you are looking at an officer or landed gentry look, perhaps look for a more stretchy material and change the fall front buttons to a more subtle, if you want to country squire or enlisted soldier look, these trousers are perfect. I believe the material will wear well. Happy with my purchase, happy with the service especially as I got personal service when asking about these dacks!.

Great hat!

Beautiful vest!
Love the color, pattern, and quality of the material; just wish the pockets were real pockets into which a watch could fit! Editor's Note: The pockets are sewn shut, but can be opened to use for a pocket watch.

Hat review
Ok hat it was what I was looking for. I think for the price it should have been finished better and lined.

Brandy Flask Cane
Very happy with the quick delivery and the quality of the cane with the exception that the black part of the cane just under the brass ring has a blemish on it. Otherwise, it's just perfect.

Excellent Walking Skirt
This is a beautiful skirt, with a gabardine-quality cotton, yet it does not crease and is easy to iron. At night the dark royal blue cotton takes on a lovely sheen, especially for photographs. It is easy to walk in, very smart, and I wore it with a wide, black velvet belt and a cream-lace, cotton, long-sleeved blouse (also from Historical Emporium). The whole outfit was lovely and I received compliments on the skirt, especially. If you are a size 4-6, and you purchase the 'small', it is a little big at the waist, so you may need to adjust it. The belt was neat and helped keep the skirt smaller at the waist. The XS size was unavailable but I had an event to attend and wanted to proceed. I would say the skirt runs a little bit bigger, so if you are a size 4, you definitely need XS, not S. A wonderful skirt, with nice features, and very elegant. Thank you.

Good for the Right Occasions
These dress gloves look right in the pictures for what most might be looking for, however I would caution future buyers that these gloves are made of nylon. For some that are looking to be specific to the pre-1940s , you might need to look for a different source either here or elsewhere for the classic cotton, which can be found at a comparable price. As for these, what specifically drew me to return them stemmed from not only the choice of fabric, but also the very thin weave of them, which definitely left something to be desired. I am very happy with most all the products that can be found here, but like with anything there are some outliers, and this is one of them.

Poor
Made in Mexico, I really expected better quality. The leather is thin and looks to be poor quality. It doesnt look like it would last very long.
