I've been buying clothing for daily wear for a few years now from The Emporium. I must say I have never experienced any regret or buyers remorse over anything I have purchased here. This is the real deal, no overpriced costumes here.

I love the leather suspenders I purchased. I felt the price was a bit high, but I decided to purchase them instead of spending a lot of time looking for them elsewhere. I got both black, and brown. They fit well, but I needed to add an extra hole on the brown ones (I am 5' 9" tall, and a simple leather punch fixed the issue quickly), the black fit perfectly. It appears that the suspenders came from 2 different makers, I would like to see Historical Emporium offer the brown suspenders from the same maker as the black ones. The quality seems good, and they are comfortable. I look forward to many more purchases from Historical Emporium!

I purchased the Auburn western Gun Belt & Holster (.44/.45 RH) from Historical Emporium not that long ago and was impressed with the product and the delivery time. The holster is very good quality, maybe even better than how it showed on the website. I was expecting to wait some time to get this order, but it was delivered very quickly. Impressed with service and product, and I would recommend this company to anyone. Very satisfied customer.

The woman I spoke with on the phone was very helpful in answering my questions. My grandson was thrilled with the walking stick, and we were all very impressed with the quality. We had also ordered a "Willy Wonka" jacket from a different company, and it smelled so toxic that we had to return it - I wish you would produce that item as well!

Received my beautiful clothes very timely, even though I'm international. The quality of the coat was just right, and the pants, sooo thick and heavy and beautiful. I was pleased with the range and very pleased with the quality. My gauntlets were perfect. I was worried about sizing, but the chart provided was very accurate. Thank you for creating and delivering very cool clothes!

I am very pleased with my purchase. It arrived unwrinkled! Looks really good and fits Perfectly! I love this coat and it's fantastic looking either as vintage costume or for daily wear. The reviews I read prior to purchase mentioned issues with buttons falling off easily. That has not Been a problem and everything has.remained attached! This is a very affordable and versatile Item of clothing. I will definitely be whooping at Historical Emporium for all my future needs. As curator Of a historical museum I wear vintage attire on a daily basis and have a vast collection of costumes from Victorian though edwardian. Historical Emporium has a wonderful selection at very affordable prices. Thank you!

The cane is nice. However, although the shaft of the cane is sturdy, it is disproportionately larger than the handle.

I am vary pleased with the quality of the products offered, the service is fast. I will continue to be a customer mostly because the products I have received are so historically correct you would think there was a time machine involved.

great
I was extremely pleased with the .44/.45 cal Western Gun Belt and Holster the original one ordered had a fault and I was able to return it and was sent another very fast. Only 3 days not the week and half that was stated. The fit is great and all the bullets fit very snug in it. I will definitely order from this place again and recommend it to others

great
I was very pleased with the Western Gun Belt & Holster . The first one ordered stated that I would receive it in a little over a week. I was surprised that it arrived in 3 days. I sent it back because I order the wrong size and was helped out very quickly. I received the corrected size still in less than what the original order stated. Bullets fit rather good, I was expecting a very loose fit but all fit great.

Squishing my skull
I love the look of the Victorian Spectacles I purchased; however, they are absolutely to small for a normal sized adult. I read in a few reviews that they were small, and another few that said they fit well. I decided to gamble on my luck. I lost... They are wearable for a short period of time, but not for even a partial day of reenacting. Please understand that this is a product issue, not a Historical Emporium issue. I love the company and will continue to purchase from them...just not these glasses.

Lorena skirt
This is a lovely garment and it fits exactly according to the sizing chart. In the picture it was hard to tell but it is made of a cotton or at least part cotton fiber.

Very well-constructed; an excellent value. Shrinkage is there all right on first washing but is quite minimal in the waist. Should be washed once before hemming.

Pleased
I ordered conveniently online and was surprised when I received my classic Gibson girl blouse in the mail. This is to be my first order. The blouse is white with a high color and long cuffs and buttons down the front. The cotton material is soft. The fit was Perfect. I wash all my whites separate as to not discolor them. I did not have problems with shrinking as I kept my dryer on casual setting. It is the perfect shirt for my job. I work at an outside museum and have to revert back in time to the 19th century in period clothing. We interpret a kitchen, parlor, bedroom, and laundry room as well as the school house. This blouse transitions very well. During 19th century laundry and baking interpretations I roll the sleeves up and unbutton top button. When working the school house, toys, and parlor, I leave the cuffs buttoned up and I include a broach at the center of the collar to appear far more reserved. I get two different characters with one blouse! I was so happy with my purchase that I ordered a Muriel pleated blouse as well. These clothes we wear at the museum represent American industry workers and their families in the 19th century. Thank you.

Great work shirt
The skinner work shirt is of excellent quality and fits true to size. I like the heavier weight fabric. Will hold up for years of use.

Tweed Boot
I really liked the look, the feel, and the fit of the tweed boots, but who had the bright idea of putting a suede lining in the boots. I have other boots with glove leather linings that slip on easily. The suede makes them harder to slip on.
