I was having trouble with the online order form and called Historical Emporium on the phone. The young man I spoke with was courteous, knowledgeable and professional. I am ordering from this site again in just a couple of weeks. If you want authentic, quality merchandise, this is where to find it! my order only took 3 days to get to me and arrived in beautiful condition!

Overall great customer service. I initially had a prob where I did get my clothes. It looked like it was lost in mail. Historical Emporium sent a new order for me no questions ask. Eventually the original order came and we just snt it back. It was a smooth process which I appreciate.

I am greatly pleased with my orders. The items are of the utmost quality and fit as stated. The wide range to choose from is unparalleled. I will be shopping further, and, passing the word to other re-enactors in the area.

I received my latest garment, the newest waist coat you had on as a special, it was here when I got back from vacation. As usual it fits and looks great. In fact I am marring a couple end of this month and I will be wearing it. This is only one of several items I have purchased, keep up the good work. God's Blessing. Ed Kunkel Okla.

The holster I ordered got here quickly and when I had to return it for a size change that came back quickly as well. I am very pleased with the holster as it is very good quality and meets my needs. The customer service was very friendly and helpful in my return and helping decide exactly what size I needed. Could not have asked for a better result from both the company and the product.

I do most of my own sewing for historical clothing, but when I'm short of time, Historical Emporium is my go-to shop. The construction and quality of their clothes rivals my own efforts, built to last with good materials. Not the cheap stuff for one-time=wear Halloween-y cotumes, this is quality clothing that you can wear for modern dress as well. The price is reasonable, too, the shipping super-fast, and the customer service is without peer. This is one of the best online shops you will shop at. I will recommend Historical Emporium to other re-enactors. Many Thanks, Sherry Ladig

Purchased 3 derbies previously. Two of the more expensive ones and one of the less expensive ones. I was expecting one similar or the same as my last less expensive derby. Apparently, you've changed suppliers on that model. I was apprehensive when I saw the dreaded Dorfman-Pacific name. The quality was OK. The brim was uneven in its curl and the fit was nowhere near as good as the previous ones. If I buy another I will definitely take the better one. Hopefully you're still using the Capas Design.

Between California tax and shipping, I invariably end up paying maybe an additional 30% for the product. If the product was not so unique, I would not shop here. But quality, design (superb!), and phone help (outstanding) offset the high cost. Nonetheless, the cumulative shipping charges from my last three orders are dampening my enthusiasm for their products.

I ordered this outfit for my daughters steampunk wedding in October. It was shipped the same day I ordered it and arrived in just a couple days. It fits great and can't wait to wear it.

I had to return the first one because I didn't measure myself with enough margin (this being my first waistcoat), but the turnaround was really fast and hitch-free. The waistcoat itself is amazing, and I've already gotten many compliments on it. I'll definitely be shopping here regularly!

5 Stars all around on service, quality and delivery. I did call customer service, only to fix a mistake on my part when ordering but was treated with friendly, helpful assistance from the service rep on the phone. I will definitely be ordering from here again and highly recommend the Historical Emporium to all my friends and family. * Sam

my beautiful gloves!
I bought 2 pairs of fingerless lace gloves from this company and am absolutely thrilled with them! They are so pretty, real lace instead of unfinished looking crochet mesh. They fit snugly but without being restrictive. My hands tend to swell, so this is important to me. They are just past the wristbone. I bought one white and one black pair to go with 2 different outfits for my sister's vow renewal and my son's wedding in July. These will be dressy without overheating my hands in a Midwest July. It only took 3 days to receive my order and it arrived in great condition! I have a few other things I intend to order from Historical Emporium very soon!

Tall pants
I was surprised when these pants arrived to see how long they were. My actor was not available to try them on so I had them shortened to his measurements and they fit perfectly. The rise is very long in these pants but they look wonderful. Don't be dismayed when you get them by how long they are.

A truly distinctive frock coat
I purchased this frock coat for an event I ran last week and it was hugely successful. Our "guest celebrity" from the 19th century looked wonderful.

Too Much Elasric
I bought these awhile ago b/c I was looking for black suspenders to go with outfit. They look nice but I found after doing quite a bit of walking my tucked in shirt keeps untucked. To get to the point the elastic y braces where pulling out my shirt and pushing down my drawers. I could be a bit bouncier than most while walking but that's my review on the particular braces. If maybe there was just elastic on back not front they would work better.

Got it a little big, but ended up fitting just fine. Hopefully, lose some more weight and get it tapered. Great quality, going to be ordering a lot of my clothes from here.

This is the perfect waistcoat to bridge the gap between formal and classy casual attire. It goes with a wide variety of colors and accessories and allows a great deal of flexibility. It is well designed, made, and fitted. A true work of art!

Really feel this was a great buy! Price & quality seemed just right & already have enjoyed wearing it at our recent Fort Martin Scott Days held in Fredericksburg, Texas. We occasionally have re-enactments & this will be another great addition to my wardrobe. Thanks!

BEAUTIFUL CRAFTSMANSHIP!
The craftsmen who created this belt and holster did a beautiful job. It is even nicer than I thought it would be. The shipping was fast and the packaging was excellent. It was wrapped in plastic inside a big box. I am very happy with this seller and this beautiful product. They are very professional. I give them my highest recommendation.

it fits great and I love the adjustable steel core to create ...
If you were looking for a well-made, handsome, and traditional looking old west cross draw holster, then look no further, this is an extremely well-built and sewn and very reasonably priced, I have been a fan of cross draw holsters for years and have had difficulty finding one that wasn't flimsy, this holster fits my needs perfectly, I own a Cimmaron brand 357 magnum single action pistol, it fits great and I love the adjustable steel core to create a perfect fit for my handgun, I will be shopping at this store again, I would highly recommend this to anyone!

The Mad Doctor is IN
It is always nice to find "exotic" costumes that fit the typically larger American. Not only that, but it is not a cheap looking lab coat. It wears well, and seems to be professionally built. Comfortably thin, but not THAT thin. This is not a cheaply made costume. The Mad Doctor is IN!

Stunning!
Another piece of high quality attire from Historical Emporium. This is the second jacket that I have purchased. Once again, impressed beyond words! If you think the picture does justice... wait till you lay eyes on it and put it on in person. The coat is very well made and hints at a piece that came from a nobleman's wardrobe. You will NOT be disappointed!

Actually really nice...
Funny, I figured that a piece of fabric wouldn't be such a big deal. I purchased this for an event at Sutter's Fort with my child's school. It was comfortable and looked nice. The website showed be how to correctly tie it, and I was complimented by the staff on the proper look. I am very satisfied.

Very good pants...
I purchased these for an event at Sutter's Fort with my child's school. They were comfortable and held up well. Two other dads had the same pants as well as one of the State Park volunteers. We all commented on the quality and proper look. The sizing suggested by the website was accurate and I am very satisfied.
