I own four Hist Emp vests. Which might give you the impression I really like them. Well, yes, but mostly I like them because they are the best thing available. which isn't high praise. Most of the vests on the market are cheaply made and presume the classic tight fit to be worn under a coat and have that tapered bottom rather than Hist Emp straight bottom. I use them as an outer garment and often wear it unbuttoned. Hist Emp vests would be very much improved if they had an inside pocket deep enough to hold a thin wallet, like a checkbook wallet or perhaps an Iphone. I will have a local seamstress make me one. I get a lot of compliments using a traditional watch chain to secure my phone and I never loose my phone. As for the Corden Vest, I found the buttons rather large and a little gaudy. Plane brown or black would have been better and smaller would be better. The cotton fabric of the Corden is nearly as stiff as the canvas versions and will be better for winter wear. Of all the vests I have the one I like best is made of wool, which breathes better than the canvas vests, drapes better, and is more comfortable year around. More colors in wool would be an improvement to your line.

Purchased this vest for a wedding. Wore it with a long sleeve plaid shirt, blue wild rag and indigo blue jeans. Great fit. It was a hit.

It is an outstanding jacket, it was loved out on the town... Nothing but good feedback!

A very well made and comfortable hat. I used the chart listed on the website and it fit me perfect. Don't hesitate buying this hat. You will not be disappointed. Perfect for 19th century reenacting.

Thick cotton material. Look is genuine and makes me feel like the 1900s. I bought matching bloomers. I am 5"7', athletic, 149 lbs. I usually wear between a size 6-8. The dress in a large fits comfortably. Biceps are snug. My waist is 28 and there is plenty of room. Not skin tight. I bought the bloomers in a size small and those fit prefect.

Very, very nice. A good substantial weight but not stiff at all. Fits well and looks just as I wanted!

Nice fit, delivery was great. Top hat and bow tie really make the look great next is a frock coat to finish it off need a shirt to go with it, love the look wear it every day.

The holster is high quality and exactly as was advertised by the historical emporium. The shipment arrived 2 days earlier than promised.I use the historical emporium for future purchases.

These are really great! Heavy duty, heavy weight fabric that will stand up to a lot of use. I love how comfortable these are. When I took them in to have the hems taken up the seamstress said that she rarely sees clothing of this quality. Ensure you follow the instructions and order one size up from your usual trousers as these sit higher on your body. Make sure to order braces/suspenders as there is no provision (or need) for a belt. They match the classic black canvas work vest beautifully. I'll be back for more, I wish I could wear them everyday!

Very good quality and well made. I ordered the large as I have a 46inch chest and it was a good fit there, however I had to have it tailored as the waist was rather larger than my 38 inches. If you are cylindrical or pear shaped you probably won't have any issues. I noticed one of the buttons was coming loose already and I was disappointed to see that the cotton/thread was too thin to stand up to much use. Other than that it is a great piece of work and should last quite some time. It looks very good paired with the classic black canvas work trousers.

The fabric in this shirt is soft and feels good when wearing it. Sizing is good and the shirt is very well made. The sleeves billow nicely to give that historical look.

A really great pair of mens trousers. Lightweight fabric for the warmer climate but sturdy and well made. Make sure you order the next size up as instructed and you'll have no problems with the fit. These are very comfortable and should be long lasting. You will need to have the hems taken up unless you are really tall.

Sizing instructions were right on... Im very pleased with the fit and quality

Ordered this hat as the sizing suggested, the medium was way too small. I exchanged for a large and its too large... fortunately I can deal with the larger one so I suppose that I'll keep it.

These gloves have lines running through the lace that look like black seams that always seem to be crooked. I also wish I had looked for a pair that had a lace ruffle around the wrist. Because they are not made of natural fiber they make my hands very hot, despite the open weave. I will keep them, but have not been wearing them in the very warm weather we have been having.

Nice little utility belt for Steam punk and cosplay. The buckles are low quality but for light use should hold up.

I don't remember reading the fabric content of these socks, but they are very soft, stretchy and comfortable and the lace on top makes them very cute. Shipping was extra fast. I will probably buy some more pairs.

Belt would not buckle into last hole in the belt. Rivet was showing signs of rust. holster seemed to big around the cylinder area. tooling looked great and over all construction is good. will last a long time and lots of use.

love, love love these fans are beautiful size is perfect highly recommend would purchase again fast service,

beautiful well made gloves would purchase again will recommend

As a large guy who normally wears a 3XLT shirt, but who occasionally needs to wear white tie with tails in concerts and live theatre, I've often despaired of finding a wing tip shirt that actually met the TALL specification of 3XLT. Finally, I have a very long shirt guaranteed not to become untucked. Whether its dressy enough... well, I'll give it a shot. I was expecting it to button all the way down the front, but it is only open to about the belly. That may prove sufficient, but I'll need to experiment further when the weather isn't quite so warm. I am happy, at least, that someone is out there making unusual clothing for the "big and tall" customer.

This shirt is so comfortable and soft. I have received a number of favourable comments on how well it fits. This is high quality fabric with a little weightiness to it. You'll know as soon as you handle it, that you have a quality item in your hands.

Really well done! Great quality nice lightweight fabric suitable for the warmer weather. You will have to have the hems taken up unless you are really tall. These are very comfortable and they do sit higher than the usual trousers so ensure you go one size up when ordering.

I was impressed with the quality of the fabric, however I had to have it tailored as it fit nicely across my chest and shoulders but was far too big around the midriff. It appears these are made with big bellied men in mind.

Perfect, perfect, perfect. So far, the different items I have purchased, the quality, service and shipping have been outstanding!!!
