The person who helped me was great because she told me that the matching blouse was not likely to fit me at it's largest size so that saved me money and hassle- though I really wanted to get both the skirt and the blouse. I do have a blouse in the same type of design but it's a different color from the red key skirt so I guess I will just wear that- should work fine. But so, customer service was great- very honest and knew a lot about their products.

I ordered a gunbelt in a larger size than I needed. You were great on the return and sending a replacement. The new gunbest fits like a glove and the product quality is far more than I expected for the price. I highly recommend your company.

I ordered the Victorian ankle boots. The boots are fabulous but I should have ordered a size larger. No problem with returning. Response time was on spot. Turn around time

My last order had one item back ordered. when the back order date had past I contacted your company and was responded to quickly. Upon finding out form the supplier that they couldn't give a date when any Tall sizes would be sent out and your Customer service agent found as tall as I am I had to have tall sizes he took the time to send me links to all tall size vest that were in stock and sent that to me. Now taking time like that IS customer service and more businesses should try to do as well!

The service was quick and efficient. Was very pleased. Calls were returned and answered all questions. I'm also very pleased with the quality of items however just a bit overly priced. Maybe try running more promotions or sales.

Greetings Was looking for the unique holster for my gun for a long time. And finally stumbled on to your company s website. Found the perfect specimen, ordered and received. Turned out to be the perfect fit and was exactly as described on your site. Hope soon I need something else your co sells as I know I will not be disappointed and will receive exactly what I order. Thanx again. Your co is the definition of what they call Made in America, Quality, pride, satisfaction, confidence in purchase and service.

Paid a little bit more than I wanted for shipping but it was a last minute purchase and well worth it. Quality was great & my husband got many compliments off of the western bow tie. Thank you for getting it there! It made his entire outfit!

We were extremely pleased with our purchases for both myself and my wife, Lorraine. Our clothes were a real success at a 'Old West' wedding last weekend. A local dressmaker, who made minor adjustments, was extremely impressed with the quality of the clothing and the price - she said should would not be able to price-match! Will certainly purchase more clothing, although we have to wait until the $US and $AU are a good exchange rate.

My overall experience with Historical Emporium has been great. The quality of the items is top notch and the speed of delivery was amazing. I'm a lot less likely to make my own items now, because overall it costs less and is much more convenient to buy from them!

Very nice
I bought this for my son who loves cravats . I wanted a cotton one for the summer. The cravat came very quickly . My son loves ed it. I do agree with other people that it is thinner than normal cravats so it does not cover whole neck.

Really awesome
First I love the print on the skirt, next I love that they had it in my size (rarely can I find anything in my size- eg- the matching blouse is slightly too small so I can't risk buying it :-( ) . All around it's an interesting functioning skirt- you can arrange it a number of different ways with the bustle pulls. Over all I give it 5 stars.

Trousers
These trousers are really well made, I'd put them up against any top brand you could name and these trousers are of equal quality, and a great price!

Work shirt
I really like this style, its really comfortable. But be sure to order a size larger than what you normally wear, I wear a size 17 neck and when I received my order and tried it on, it felt a little tight in the chest area, I think it had something to do with the way the shirt is sewn at the bottom of the opening, it kind of bunches up a bit. I sent it back and got a size 18-18.5 and now it fits a lot better.

Western Holster Review
Western Holster - RH Cross-Draw - Plain Brown Leather. Item: 004332. This is a very well made holster and let me quote AUTOBOB here "If you were looking for a well-made, handsome, and traditional looking old west cross draw holster, then look no further, this is an extremely well-built and sewn and very reasonably priced, I have been a fan of cross draw holsters for years and have had difficulty finding one that wasn't flimsy, this holster fits my needs perfectly, I own a Cimmaron (UBERTI 5.5" inch barrel) brand 357 magnum single action pistol, it fits great and I love the adjustable steel core to create a perfect fit for my handgun, I will be shopping at this store again, I would highly recommend this to anyone!" There is one caveat though that cost a star... the hammer hold leather thong is extremely weak and busted on my first try at adjustment. Its thin and is held so tightly between the leather and the adjustable steel core that you must use great care when adjusting for a snug fit. Replacement is going to be a bit of a chore. But, with that said this holster will fill most needs and is extremely well made, durable and adjustable. You will be surprised at the thick leather work and stitching which would be required in the true Old West times. I would recommend this holster to anyone interested in this style western holster.

Brother’s vest
This vest and many others we’ve purchased are for my handicapped brother. He is slightly obsessed with the period clothing and loves your Victorian products! With his handicaps, I greatly appreciate the vests that are machine washable- not just wool options. He has shrunk a few rather expensive ones :(.

no way to tighten up
It is pretty large. It did not stay on. And there is no way to tighten up.

Spiffy togs
Plan to wear my Baily trousers with my Summerhill Vest & Spats. The excess from my Summerhill Trousers ( which I really like) was made into spiffy hatbands for my Straw skimmer & my brown derby.

Nice blouse
I am not a re-enactor. I am a lover of history and period clothing, which is why Historical Emporium is such a "gem" for me. The vesta blouse in white meets expectations for a non-cotton blouse. The color is not a bright white, thankfully, the fabric suitable for a polyester--it is not a heavy material and will wear well during warm days. I love that three different looks can be achieved with the jabot and collar. The blouse is easy to iron, a big plus. I used the sizing chart provided, but sized up one and the fit is perfect. Very pleased with the price and quality. I'll wear this often.

Vigilante Vest
This vest is a good fit but the pockets are much too shallow and, for an unlined vest, the price is high.

I got so many great complements on these pants. I did have to have the legs hemmed, but that wasn't really a problem. The pants size matched what I ordered, and they fit great.

Beautiful timepiece
This is a well-crafted pocket watch. Serious piece of hardware. Elegant and functional. This watch makes very little sound for a hand-wound watch. Comes artfully packaged and includes a chain.

Great watch!
This mechanical wind up watch works really good! It never needs batteries and it keeps accurate time. Classic looking time piece and looks beautiful! I am not sure it is waterproof though? It makes a good survival watch.

Great value
I was very fortunate to come across this tailcoat while it was on sale at 50% off. It is well made and a good buy at regular price and a great buy at my purchase price.

Feb 14, 2018
As expected
Really nice quality and fit. I ordered a large as a 6foot tall guy and it’s a little big which is better than too small. The strap on the back adjusts pretty well and it is a metal buckle. I hope it stays nice after I wash it in a few months

Wear it all the time Now
I originally purchased this vest as part of a Victorian outfit to wear at a special occasion, but I like it so much that it's become a regular part of my wardrobe.

Thoroughly Stylish
I like this coat so much that I may start wearing it on a regular basis instead of just for shows or historical events. Up until now, i would have made one of these with my own materials, but this one is so nicely done that I'm not going to bother undergoing the expense and take the time and effort to do that any more. I'm impressed enough with the quality, the cost and the speedy delivery from Historical Emporium that I may just forego wearing modern clothing all together instead of just on stage.

Top Quality stuff!
Up until now I would have simply made one of these ties, but I'm impressed enough with the quality of this one and the speed of delivery and ease of purchase that I'm just going to keep buying them from from Historical Emporium.
