I am near a 4xl girth and have difficulty finding nifty apparel at an affordable price. Sometimes y'all are spot on. With your garments I can stand alone and not be one of the masses. Thank you.

This was my first order with Historical Emporium, and while I have purchased from other similar companies, I must admit, that this company rates above them! I will now look to see if H.E. has what I am looking for first!

I have shopped at many stores whether in person, on-line or by phone over the years and I can honestly say that my shopping experience with Historical Emporium was one of the best experiences I've had. I had initially e-mailed them to inquire about an item, I received a quick response stating that the item was in stock. I called and spoke to Meghann who was so very helpful. She answered all my questions and even checked again to confirm that the item was in stock. I placed the order on a Monday and the item was in my house on Wednesday. Great service!!! I definitely recommend Historical Emporium.

Fast delivery. Product was exactly what I was looking for. Not overly priced. The only thing that bugged me was that it was made in Pakistan but I suppose that was why the price was as low as it was. The fit is perfect and I have not stopped wearing it since it arrived! Now the test of time, and how well it holds up. I am glad I ordered it and that I found your website.

Wonderful service, prompt delivery, great coat. Only problem was size, since it came in only one size, I ventured to order it. Unfortunately, despite its quality fabric and tailoring, it was just too large. Would buy it again in a minute if it came in a smaller size. Had to return it, darn it!

FOUR STAR ALL THE WAY. I LOOKED LONG AND HARD FOR A LEFT HAND BUSKADERO STYLE BELT AND holster. WHAT I FOUND WAS EITHER JUNK, OVER PRICED OR DEALER DID NOT SUPPLY LH PRODUCTS. THEN I FOUND H E. THEY WERE WHAT I HAD BEEN LOOKING FOR FOR MONTHS. THEY WERE SOMEWHAT LIMITED ON THE LEFT HAND SELECTION, BUT THEY HAD WHAT I NEEDED. I ORDERED AND RECEIVED THE HOLSTER RIG IN JUST A FEW DAYS. I OPENED THE PACKAGE AND WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED. ALL OF THE METAL PARTS WERE RUSTY AND OR CORRODED. I CALLED THE CUSTOMER NUMBER AND AGAIN WAS VERY HAPPY. THE PERSON I TALKED WITH WAS VERY NICE AND THE ISSUE WAS TAKEN CARE OF ON THE SPOT. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD SEND A NEW RIG FIRST THING THE NEXT DAY. THEY SENT ME A PAID RETURN ADDRESS LABEL TO SEND MY RIG BACK. I RETURNED THE RIG THAT DAY. THREE DAYS LATER I RECEIVED THE NEW BRIGHT AND SHINNY NEW RIG. NO RUST AND NO CORROSION. I HAVE NEVER HAD BETTER OR FASTER SERVICE FROM ANY COMPANY.

I recently ordered a canvas vest, trousers, and braces. Having ordered from other vendors, when I receive packages, I try to temper my expectations and generally prepare myself to be disappointed. But when I opened my HE packages, I was ecstatically surprised! All I can say is WOW!! You guys are phenomenal! The style, quality, fit, packaging, shipping, customer service... everything has been simply fantastic! I am very proud to be an official new customer! Actually, I have to say the style, quality, and fit of your clothes is superior to my daily modern clothes and I think I'm going to see where i can reasonably swap out your garments for my modern ones. So, I may have another order soon! HAHA! I cannot say enough good things! Although the vest was special order, the vest and the trousers arrived within a day of each other. I was expecting a much greater delay and was extremely surprised! Also, Customer Service was very responsive in answering my questions about availability, etc. The other huge factor that is very impressive is your fitting directions! They were dead- on and turned out perfectly! I was worried about having to go back and forth to find the right size... but you nailed it! I plan to review the purchased items, but wanted to say THANK YOU first! Your care and effort are greatly appreciated!! Once I put myself together I'll see if I can get a picture to send. I'm already looking forward to my next purchase! THANK YOU!

Look, the star nice as I imagine it, the shirt armbands also, real authentic historical look. The Bib shirt made in USA , the material nice, the color tone good looking , the buttons cool, the shirt shape is rather square, erases your shoulders, take a look at John Wayne's shirt, is more like a regular shirt plus the Bib. The one I bought must be used inside of the Trousers at all times, otherwise it looks more like a pregnancy shirt plus the Bib, that's not the way most guys want to look like, believe you me. The overall buying experience was uncomplicated and good, I'll come back for more.

I am very happy with the quality of the six-shooter belt-holster. It fits well and holds the bullets snugly. Historical Emporium shipped very quickly. So quickly, I was surprised when it arrived.

They corrected the delivery address promptly and delivered ahead of schedule. I wear my red skirt to Native American Lobby Day, Women's March & No LNG events here in Tacoma WA. It's been rained on and hasn't run, faded or shrunk. I am very pleased with product and customer service.

Mad Scientist coat in red
I am very pleased with the quality of this coat. The cotton fabric is very substantial without being bulky or uncomfortable. It is well constructed and I know I will be able to wear it for many years. The only thing I would change is the number of button holes on the adjustable tabs on the back of the coat. There are two buttons but only one button hole. I would love to see 3 or 4 button holes to allow for more adjustments. I ordered the 3XL and it is very roomy which I like, and again I would like the ability to have more adjustments to the back. I paired this with a red top hat, black gloves and a glowing jar around my neck. I got so many compliments at the Edwardian themed party I attended. Red always makes a statement.

Fantastic!
Simple and functional! These braces are great! As a circuit rider, I was looking for braces with great quality, but also fairly plain and understated. These are perfect! Exactly what I was looking for!! The leather straps are fantastic and the stitching is top notch! Very comfortable...No issues or complaints whatsoever!

Excellent Canvas Waistcoat
This is a very well-made piece, suitable for real work or for wearing almost anywhere. It's not a costume piece by any means. It's fairly heavy, but it never feels hot or restricting. This is my second waistcoat from Historical Emporium, and I'll be getting another soon: I'm getting into the habit of wearing one almost every day!

Deluxe Wool Felt Derby Hat. GREAT!
The Deluxe Wool Felt Derby hat is worth every dollar! I ordered the Medium, Large and then the X-Large. I kept the X-Large because it is the best fit for my scull/head. I will be wearing is very nice stylish Derby Wool felt hat at the retail store I work at. I work in a store near the city of Seattle. I have never seen any person in this city wearing a Derby hat! Baseball type of hats are the norm in this area. I might be a trend setter just by wearing this hat in the store I work at!

More like a 4.75 Stars
I love these pants! However, I have had 2 very small issues with them. 1) When I measured myself to order these pants it would have been a size 32. I normally wear a size 32 so I was skeptical. When I received them they were a bit snug. So I returned them for a size 34 and those fit perfectly! The only other issue that I didn't care for is a fabric tag on the back that I had removed, but that is a very minor issue when getting them hemmed.

Does not feel cheap!
These wings are great! Some people have commented that they fall off easily do to the pin backing, but I have not had that problem at all. They have heft to them and feel like they are quality made. (Better than most things found on etsy from my experience.) They are larger than I expected but that does not deter me!

The real thing
Was thinking that this was like an 18th Century walking stick. Wrong. It is a real life cane, solid brass, heavy quality wood. Will use this now instead of having to get a tacky metal one. Beautiful.
