Package well, the leather vest seem like good quality but surprised that it was not all leather. Based on the cost it should have been but I missed the full description. The other Items purchase well worth the cost. The customer service agent Nole was very helpful and represented your company very well.

As a performer and a member of a not-for-profit theatre company, this was an exceptional find. We really, really needed some victorian style clothing and your website had it all! I've even recommended Historical Emporium to my fellow actors. Thanks for a great product!

When shopping for something special for my fiancé to wear for our wedding, we ordered two different shirts - needed to send both back due to style and size. When I called because the one was past the return date, I was told that that was no problem, return the shirt and very pleasantly asked if there was anything else I needed. There was no pressure when I said no, I was thanked for calling. The returns appeared on my CC with amazing quickness. A couple weeks later we found a vest on your site - that is what he wore on our wedding day! Thanks for the stress free shopping!! Definitely will be shopping again!

Increasing variance in quality from certain manufacturers is becoming more and more bothersome -- and unpredicatble. However, so far, exemplary customer service (so far) outweighs that negative variable. Still, that being said, it is becoming harder to justify the expense especially since shipping costs can really bump the total when you are not sure if something will need to to be returned. Stuff does arrive in a timely fashion.

Customer service was top notch. The product was nicely made and fabric is quality for the price. My only issues are the black color in the pants I ordered were slightly lighter than the matching vest. Also, the pants went on sale three days after receiving my order.

I am a year 'round 24/7 Real bearded Santa and I wanted an extra "Santa vest" for my casual Santa wear. This one does the job, nicely. I am now also considering an additional vest in another holiday color, to expand the wardrobe. It was easy to order, the products arrived on time and the fit was just as I expected, but the vest felt even more comfortable, the first time I donned it. I was also pleased that this quality product was made in the USA.

As someone who had an outfit that was used in my wedding I got in 2 different orders the items I needed to convert my western outfit into a 1860's outfit to portray President Jefferson Davis. Now since the first reenactment I'm receiving request to be in more and festivals for local Historical Society's in the surrounding counties. Thank you for your products and selections

Great!
I purchased this blouse for an historical society pioneer day event. The fit was right, it is well-made. The best part, is how fast it arrived. I will be lending it to the high school theatre dept for an upcoming play set in the 19th century because it’s really perfect for that era. Thank you HE!

Pleasantly Surprised
I'm an attorney and as a result of that I have to wear a suit every day. Over the years I've worn cheap suits and I've spent upward of $800.00 on suits. The Regency Fall Front Trousers I received from Historical Emporium are of a far higher quality than the products I've been buying from JoS A. Bank and Men's Warehouse over the years. I am 6'3 and approximately 240lbs and the size 38 is snug, but not uncomfortable. The length is exceptionally long, so I do need to get them hemmed, but I'm glad they provided the length so us taller folks don't run the risk of becoming high waders. As an added bonus, I wear braces/suspenders often and these come with the buttons already sewn in. They do not have pockets.

This waistcoat is absolutely Perfect! It goes well with a variety of trouser colours, though a little darker than the "Chadwick" Trousers. they still go very well together. Very professional looking, and very well made. I Highly Recommend this waistcoat, as well as several others.

Excellent if excessive
I'm very happy with the color, length, and the warmth of this coat. It could easily serve as winter wear, and the lining makes sliding in or out of it a breeze. Being a medium, I ordered the M/L size; I would strongly recommend that these be split up in the future. The coat is very generously cut, to the point of being cumbersome when trying to get in or out of a vehicle, and the sleeves extended almost past my thumb.

It was just the splash I was looking for to complete my western look. Tie is of excellent quality and material.

Nicely done
Wonderful jet black brushed fabric. Buttons nicely stitched. Careful wearing a pocket watch with this vest: If the vest is a little tight around the middle, the roundness of the watch will form a slight mated circle visible from the front. The nature of the depth of black of the fabric is the cause -- use a lint brush to make the area jet black as the surrounding material. This is a very warm fabric.

Oct 19, 2017
Didn't fit me right
The coat length and width around the waist were about right. But the chest area had a lot of extra space, I'm normally 38-40 and the chest felt closer to 42. If you have a huge chest, it might fit according to size. The fabric is thicker even though it's cotton, seems good for colder weather. It has almost a velvet type consistency to it, look close at the pictures.

Pure class
I really love the coat. I wish it were a little thicker for the winter months but for fall and weather up to about 40 degrees, it should be perfect. Love the button detail and the way it stands out. Subtle Victorian beauty!!! I am so glad I took the large. I am not big, but I do have wider shoulders and the size Large is good. I wish things were made with the wider shoulder for us who have them. The large is good, however about an inch on either side more, would have been even better. No worries, its worth it...

Attention to sewing
Buttons and button holes do not match well causing surface fabric ripples. Not bad for a stage production, but I wear this stuff on a daily basis, so I have higher expectations than I would of a costume. They took it back in a heartbeat, no problems and paid for return shipping.

Callahan Frock Coat - Black
I ordered this frock coat for a theatrical production. Although a bit lighter weight fabric than I was anticipating, I'm happy with the overall look of the coat, and I'm sure it will do well for our show. I'm happy with my purchase.

Everything and More!
I ordered these trousers for my wedding and I couldn't have been happier! The sizing was spot on and customer service was great helping me get the adjusted size I needed. The only thing I didn't realize is I needed to get a pair of suspenders to go along with these pants.

Quality Corset, save one thing...
This is a very high-quality corset. I like how it feels. My only issue: why would you sell a high-quality corset with horrible ties? The corset is sturdy, but after several uses the ties wear out and I needed to replace them with something much sturdier. Fine if you wear this corset once a year, but a problem if you wear it more often than that.

Stage Mom bought this for authentic costume for Stage Son. It looks like aged leather but is cloth. It is comfortable. It appears to be very well-made. I believe it will last for many wearings. Now, if I could find a Sopwith Camel....

Mares Leg
For an imitation firearm, this has to be the MOST realistic NON working Item ever. It has the weight and feel of the real thing, I know I have a Full sized real Winchester rifle. Even the lever action is accurate and works. But I am afraid I cant use it for my Halloween costume. It looks to real and the police in my area , are liable to mistake it for the real thing and probably shoot me for wearing it,,,LOL
