I returned again to Historical Emporium this late Fall to boost my wardrobe for Dickens Fair. We attended the closing weekend, but life caused me to have to delay my order until much later than I intended. Once confirmation of the order was received, I fretted as to whether or not it would arrive with enough time to get the Trousers hemmed. No problem! Two days later, the order appeared at my door. I had plenty of time to get the proper alterations and had it with a full day to spare! The Emporium does it again! All you folks are the absolute best! I wish you all the very Merriest of Christmases, and the Happiest of New Years! I shall return again soon!

My purchase of a gold quartz pocket watch was a college graduation present for our son & he's absolutely thrilled w/ his pocket watch. Months ago our son mentioned to his father, in passing, that he no longer likes to wear a watch on his wrist & how nice it would be to have a pocket watch to keep track of time while teaching because he wouldn't want to be repeatedly be taking his phone out of his pocket; he was a bit taken by surprise that his dad remembered his comment about a pocket watch.

I bought a classic wool vest which promptly arrived. I had to return for a different vest. The process was not only smooth and easy, it was fast. My new vest arrived in just a few days. The quality of the vest is outstanding. The fit is exactly as advertised for an XL. I've worn it quite a bit since getting it and it continues to look good and wear well.

Sooo very proud of my results with Historical Emporium!! I just recent found this site and immediately ordered a gun holster and belt. Great price and beautiful quality, plus very quick service. I will be buying again from this company. Thank you for a great product and service!! I am a woman that lives in the country with all kinds of wildlife, rattle snakes, coyotes, bob cats, and even a mountain lion, for real, all in our front yard. I work outside in landscaping and yard work and have needed a gun many times. This holster and belt allows me to work comfortably and efficiently while being protected. It fits perfectly over my old west dresses and work clothes. Thank you again!! I will be reordering from your company.

Always pleased with my purchases. But really appreciate customer service.! Was considering purchasing some boots, but was concerned about durability. I sent an e-mail describing my use/abuse of boots and would they hold up to harsh conditions, working cattle, riding the motorcycle. I noticed in description they weren't real leather but a 'composite', and was advised (thankfully) that they would not recommend that particular boot for 'everyday hard wear'. How honest is that.... in today's time? Because of that, I always recommend you guys to my friends, and will shop MORE at Historical Emporium. Keep it up!!!! Great customer relations!!!

The vests are great, really like them. The gun belt looks good but is cheaply made, not high quality leather really. Not worth spending money to send it back so you win on that one.

Excellent experience. I work at a small county farm house museum. Circa 1820-1890. We do some historical interpretation there. Your Trousers and braces were a perfect addition to my historical interpretation of a 1860-70 Virginia plantation- farmer. Thanks Eric

The Customer service is great. My order was overlooked and after waiting 2 weeks I emailed customer service to find out when I should expect my vest. The Item was sold out but the order was not sent on to customer service for them to contact me. I selected another item which was more expensive and as a courtesy they they sent the new item for the price of the first item. Once the mix up was solved my order arrived very quickly. I feel that my issue was addressed to my satisfaction and the customer service rep was great to work with. My issue was solved quickly and courteously. I will be ordering again in the future.

I had purchased from HE last year and the colors were exactly what I wanted. I have gotten so many compliments on the outfits I purchased from HE for both me and my husband. We are Christmas Carolers. This year I wasn't so lucky. Golds and Browns are not my colors. But I plan to purchase next year. Although, this year, the articles I purchased were not the right choices for me, I had no problem returning them. All the articles are made beautifully. HE is an excellent company to deal with.

Not True Size
This is a beautiful blouse but the listed size in not correct. We ordered a XXL and it fit more like something between a Large and an Extra Large. The front pleats are over done and over power the front with too much thickness. This detracts from the femininity of the overall design and places too much weight at the waist. This might be OK if you are super thin, but if you are anywhere near a "normal" woman, this is the last place you want to add volume. If you are a skinny little thing it could look cute, otherwise, go with something else.

I'm a big guy 56" waist and 50" chest, size xxxl fit perfect!!! I do believe that the fit was better with this item than any I have bought for regular use, I can't give you enough stars as 5 just isnt enough!! The material is fantastic, the stitching was impeccable, design is just . . . wow! Not sure how to put the Jabot back on yet, but its very fancy!!!

Great Value!
These are heavy, exceptionally well-made trousers. Like period trousers do, they sit extremely high on or even above the natural waist, and need a quality set of suspenders to complete the fit and look. They are easily hemmed (and can even be self-hemmed if you know what you’re doing; I happen to have a great tailor available to me!). Paired with the Livingston Brushed Cotton Frock Coat, and with the addition of a high-collar shirt and a nice waistcoat, the number of period/historical impressions that can be carried off is impressive. Wonderful value for the price; if you’re serious about historical dress (that can easily be worn in contemporary use) that isn’t “costumes”, these are the kinds of items to have in your wardrobe!

Another for the Wardrobe!
I bought the black single-breasted version of this vest two years ago. Last year, I added the double-breasted version in Crimson. I was so pleased with the unusual deep earth tone of the Crimson, I added the single-breasted version this year. They’re washable, durable, and work with a number of different dress styles, as well as being period authentic enough for various 19th Century dress opportunities. I’ll be getting more as I continue to increase my waistcoat collection! Thank you, Historical Emporium!

Brilliant!
I’m using this frock coat for dress affairs (such as Dickens Fair, formal events, etc.), as well as for a welcome change to my concert/performance wardrobe! Heavy and extremely well-constructed, it takes a hefty chill off of a cold night, but breathes well, and isn’t as dense as wool. The brushed cotton finish is rich and soft.

What can I say other than that I have been more than satisfied with all my products purchased from the historical emporium. Great quality, and look. My latest purchase the burgundy Klondike vest is no exception. I am blown away with how great it looks, It is a gift for my brother, I’m sure he will feel the same. . I am so happy that a company like yours is out there. Keep up the great work!

Tooled Double Gun Rig
I received this holster within a week . However it was one size too large. Returned it for an exchange and received one size smaller within a week and fit like a glove. This is a quality piece at a reasonable price . Order with confidence and their Customer Service is EXCELLENT !

Exactly what I was looking for
The raven on this walking stick looks nice and feels solid, and the stick is overall very good construction. As they say it's not made to replace a cane for walking, but it's strong enough that I'm not worried about it snapping if I put a little weight on it. It's the perfect accessory for the faerie ball that I'll be attending in a couple months, as a dark fae with a raven theme.

Great coat!
Love this coat. The construction is sturdy, like I've come to expect from Historical Emporium, and I like soft, almost "sueded" texture of the material. I'd almost wear it every day, I just worry that would cause the brushed cotton to pill in high wear areas faster than other materials. It's a few inches longer than I expected, the picture looks like it ends above the knees, but I'm 6' and it falls right about knee level - but that's not a problem.

Sizing an issue
Following directions, you'll find that the coat is way too large. Customer service allowed me to return the coat for a smaller size and that fit across the shoulders, but the sleeves extended beyond my fingertips. I had the coat taken in along the torso (shoulders to waist) and the sleeves taken up about 5" and Scotch Guard (to assist in staining / water). I think it will look exceptional when it gets back. Quality looks good. Drape was a bit wide and I had it tapered as mentioned. Coat is fully lined. Pockets are a bit shallow for my taste and I would like to have an inside pocket, but overall I'm happy with the purchase.

Overall good product
I bought this holster for my Ruger Blackhawk .45 with 7.5 inch barrel. I use this gun as a side arm when hunting or camping in bear country so I wanted a reliable holster but had trouble finding any holster that would fit this gun. I took a chance with this one and am very happy with the quality especially for the price. I had to manipulate the leather slightly as the instructions that came with it said may be necessary and adjust the hammer loop which only required a little tugging. It came with 15 cartridge loops which is okay but there is room on the belt for more which would have been better. Sizing two inches above my waist worked fine with room to spare both ways. The leather tooling is excellent and best of all my wife thinks it looks sexy! I would recommend this product to a friend.

Magnificent
I am sooo very proud of my new gun holster and belt!! I am a woman, living in the country, with rattle snakes, coyotes, bob cats, and even a mountain lion, for real, in our front yard. I love the outdoors, work outside and love landscaping work. Because of where we live, the wild life I have met face to face, I need a gun and holster. The holster is magnificent, fits superb at my hips, and allows me to work outside comfortably with it's comfortable fit and tie down for the leg holster, plus extra shells when I need them. Thank you for a beautiful product, very good quality, that I will wear every time I go outside, even over my old west dresses as well as work clothes. I am thrilled with my new rig!!

Gun Belt
The belt looks nice but is not of high quality leather and has a bonded backing so it feels cheaply made, the two loops that hold the tongue down are super thin and cheap and probably won't last long. I'll keep the belt but would not buy another one of these.

I wanted a Victorian feel for Christmas photos this year, and my wife wanted me in green. As a clergyman, this worked perfectly with my clerical collar. These were probably our best Christmas photos yet!
