overall the product is nice, thought it was a little pricey

This blouse is way more beautiful in person than in the catalog. The sleeves are quite puffy at the shoulders and so very 'period perfect'. The fabric has substance without being stiff. The cut is spot-on and fits like a dream. You won't be disappointed with this choice. The fit seems very true to the size measurements given.

This vest is absolute perfection! The cut, the feel, the material! The luxurious feel of the fabric is amazingly soft. Very true to size measurements given. You won't be disappointing in this vest.

I absolutely love my Brushed Twill Riding Pant! The material is luxuriously soft...and of substance but not stiff. Though I have only tried them on and not worn them yet, they fit like a dream. On-line ordering of clothing is always a 'cross your fingers and hope for the best' type of situation. Customers reviews are so very helpful with not only choosing the right size, the first time, but other useful information. I am always disappointed when an item has not yet been reviewed. The one thing I did notice that is a bit questionable is, the lay of the fabric in the legs. It's almost like the cut is not quite right. You can see in the photo that the inseam area seems to pull a bit from the waist making a funny bunching of material. As a seamstress, I would try adding a bit more material and changing the the cut to add a bit more fullness to alleviate this awkward 'pull'. But no big deal in the overall scheme. Just needs a bit of tweaking for absolute perfection!

Great fit and comfortable. The buttons are a little hard to fasten, but otherwise workmanship seems very fine.

Love it! Professional looking and well built. Came in beautifully in a crush-proof container which was magnificent. This company is top of the line.

I ordered the Putnam Gray Vest for a wedding in July with a Harry Potter theme. The vest arrived quickly and in excellent condition. I misjudged size, called their Customer Service, returned the vest for a larger size, and received the replacement in a week. 100% happy with Historical Emporium!

I ordered the Grey Vest for a wedding I will be going to in August and wanted a vest with a little personality. I wanted something different that a current style vest. I am very pleased with the style and quality of the vest. It arrived quickly and in perfect condition.

Crudely stamped. Still fun to show off, but could be better.

I wear a black top hat during the cooler months but during the summer I want to wear white and seersucker suits, so wanted a white top hat. This is very well made and beautiful. I stuff the crown with baby stuffed rabbits so that I can surprise the children that come through the door. (And more than a few of the adults).

Obviously bought for the novelty but the badge is not well finished and the pin is very large diameter. Could be a little more dainty and the badge itself polished a bit.

Heavy leather. A bit much for summer wear. Very sturdy. Will definitely wear them in cooler months every day. Cotton parade gloves wear out after 10 or so days so the leather is much more economical. I just wish there were a lighter version available. I am doorman/concierge at a historic resort hotel, so I have to look my best in period clothes.

Shipping on time items is what they said it was

I have purchase numerous shirts, pants ,and vests prior to this purchase. Every piece of clothing has been sized correctly, very well made, and of excellent materials. This vest is no exception to that praise. The shipping service was incredibly fast this time. I do not hesitate to recomend this company and their wares and have numerous times to numerous people. I am a Single Action Shooter Society competitor ( Cowboy action shooting ) . All of the clothing has survived long rugged wear on the shooting range and a great deal of physical activity, with little or no signs of wear. When I want period correct clothing there is no other choice, in my mind -- HISTORIC EMPORIUM

They were sent in a timely fashion. The bloomers fit perfectly and were easy to wash. I liked them so much I bought another pair! Very sexy for bloomers!

I love this jacket! The color. The feel. The FIT! Can't wait to wear my entire outfit when I time travel with my Dame to DragonCon in September. Thanks!

At first I thought this hat was too small for me, but then I tilted it forward and over one eye and it looked great. I love the long netting that hangs down the back. The peacock feather is dyed black so it has a little color in it, but mostly blends in with the rest of the black accessories. I wish there were more beads on the lengths of fishing line so the plastic didn't show, but since it is clear it doesn't really take away from the Victorian look.

If this bun has any dark brown in it I can't see it. Fortunately my hair is mostly gray with some light brown in it, so this bun matches pretty well.

The picture of this bun looks much grayer than the actual item. The actual bun is really dark brown with a few strands of gray running through it.

Long, comfortable and true to size. I'm wearing these for cowboy action shooting, since some of our stages require mounting/dismounting/shooting from the saddle on a wooden horse.

Love the fabric. High waisted fit. Product is good, but does run small - had to inch it on over my hips. Editor's note: Based on customer feedback, we have revised the sizing of this garment. Please check the sizing chart.

Just what I needed ! I do performance art as a "street preacher" opening for bands in SF area. The tie provides just the right touch. Always pleased w purchases from the Emporium.

I am impressed that the material is strong, yet light weight and surprisingly soft and comfortable. I wore it as part of my costume at a car show. And in the 80 something degrees the shirt was not sticking to me. The sleeves were surprisingly long. I wear a 36-37 sleeve with a 16-16.5 neck. The mustache kept falling off in the sweat of my lip; especially when I smiled. Next time I will try eye lash glue. Somebody said that might help keep it up.

“My husband wanted a "different" Western dress shirt for a wedding we're attending. This shirt is very nice, especially for the price. Great detail, nice material, good fit. As other reviewers have mentioned, it is slightly "blousy", but then so is my husband, so it's perfect!!

I have two Scully vests almost identical but in two different colors. I wear them almost every night during the summer months between Memorial Day and Labor Day. They hold up quite well and are very nice looking...Even after all of the wear they get!

I loved my hat immediately upon opening the box! It is absolutely beautiful and fits well. The packaging kept it safe and is great to keep it in. This will be a wonderful addition to my Steampunk outfit.

I bought this for my husband as part of a costume, but when it came I feel in love with it. It can be used in normal dressy situations as well as for the costume he needed it for. The XXL fit great - I was a bit worried since it would be worn under a few things and he didn't want it real tight, but it fit just like a XXL should fit even when over a shirt. The picture doesn't even begin to show how nice this looks in person.

Bought it for my boss. He loves it and looks so darn fancy!

Finely crafted and fits as expected

High priced but good clothing.

Excellent quality

Delivered EARLY! And it is a very comfortable cotton shirt. As recommended by the vendor, I purchased the size that was right for my neck -- that means the shirt at the shoulders is a little large for me --- but the neck is perfect and I am very happy with the shirt (and the vendor) Thanks!

These are excellent quality pants! Worth the money! And they're extra long so you can hem them to fit

These pants are perfect! They arrived quicker than expected. Workmanship and over quality is excellent. Super happy with this purchase. We are using them for an 1800's era Opera production; they would be great for any period look 1800 - early 1900.

Looks and feels great! Works very well! Super fast shipping! I will buy again! Great product! Great price! Look no further this is what you want! My 1873 45 long colt fits beautifully. The ONLY problem and it is very small is the strap to sluo over the hammer to hild the pistol in the holster is not long enough to work but that can be fixed easy enough.

Cool, cool, full of authentic details, great looking.

Why isn't the color of the stripes through to the back side of the shirt? It makes me worry that the color will fade quickly

A perfect addition for my collection. I dress daily in Old Scottish style.
