Great selection of men's vintage clothing! Measurements where all true to sizes, on the pants I had to come to the realization that men wore their pants way above their waistline which reminded me of my grandpa Who wore his pants pulled way up even back in the 60's...lol! Once I remembered that and that The Historical Emporium tells you that they fit properly....Duhh! Very happy with the quality of materials used very well made and wearable and comfortable clothing.

I ordered a jacket for a steampunk themed event. This jacket is beautiful and well made. The fit is perfect. I contacted Customer Service regarding sizing and they were very prompt in their reply.

Question about the product was answered immediately. Shipped out very quickly. I think your sizes run small. Read in the comments, so we bought bigger. Probably good to make that a point for others.

I ordered one size too large Trousers based on sizing. I returned the trousers following the return information and shortly thereafter received an email that they had been received. I expected to wait several weeks, but a few days later I was again notified that the replacements had been sent. Talk about fast service! The replacements fit perfect. I highly recommend them for all of your historical needs.

I can't say enough about Historical Emporium. I have purchased an entire women's outfit and the quality of the material and workmanship was beyond my hopes. I also bought a lovely smoking cap for my husband's birthday and he was well pleased!

Your return policy is not very realistic. You expect a customer to keep or return after just trying something on once. I recently purchased a night gown. I slept in it one and wes told I could not return it for a refund. What happened to your pollcy of satisfication guaranted!

The products offered by Historical Emporium are of good quality and are historically accurate. Some items are not of the best material but far exceed those of other suppliers. Their customer service is excellent and their shipping and delivery times are the best that I have ever seen. You cannot go wrong by ordering from this company.

Shipping was very fast ( arrived within a week, easy tracking). Products of very high quality material and finishes. I mixed up centimeters and inches, returning was a painless exercise. Email questions answered promptly. Best online shopping experience I have had yet. Highly recommend to any that want clothes that are stylish, fun and yet outside fashions of our time

I'd like to first point out that the delivery was quick and easy, I'd recently orderediscovered an item from a different website and I had to wait a week +1 day whereas here I got my order within the week. The price is also good considering the quality of the purchase which is red glasses. Much better quality than other placeside over got them from like Halloween stores for example. I've ordered from gentlemans emporium before and I'll order from them again because I haven't had a single bad experience from then and as of now I can't imagine I ever will

I do a historical impersonation of Minnesota's 1st First Lady, Sarah Sibley, which is given to students at various schools in my area. This year I decided to enhance my costume. First I ordered just the Victorian touring hat. I was so pleased with that purchase I then ordered the black high top shoes and a blouse. All purchases arrived within a few days. The individuals taking my order over the phone were extremely helpful. I am VERY satisfied with my new costume pieces!

Amazing Quality!
I am BEYOND pleased with my outfit. I am a docent at a Victorian house museum and this outfit is period accurate and perfect for my living history tours. The quality is much better than I expected and I would go as far as to say that it would hold up to daily wear if necessary. Thank you so much!

Mens Night Shirt and Red Cap
The fabric on this product was quite rough and uncomfurbale. The red cap did not fit despite your description said it only came in only size that fits all. Your return policy is unacceptable.

Winchester fit
The scabberd fit my 30-30 perfectly and has a great look. The stitching look traditional and the straps are easy to attach a shoulder strap.

Couldn't be happier
I am 5'9 and around 205 lbs. The L/XL coat was too large and so I returned it for the M/L which fits perfect. I had zero trouble making the return and the turn-around time was less than a full week from return shipping to receiving the replacement.

Nice Shirt
I had looked at wing tip shirts at our local mall and found a couple to choose from but the fit was not what was needed. These shirts buttoned completely down the front and did not give the look I wanted. The shirt from Historical Emporium is a mock button up (actually a pull-over) and as such is cut fuller than a modern shirt. The material used is better than the average dress shirt but not of the finest quality. The wing tip collar is not as pronounced as the shirts I found at the mall but does look good with the tie I selected for my costume. The fullness of the body is easily hidden by wearing a vest over the shirt. Overall, this is an excellent choice and I feel you will be pleased with your purchase.

Great Looking Hat
The John Bull top hat is a great product and fits the era wonderfully. I measured as instructed and ordered the indicated size. The hat I received was slightly large but serviceable. If you want to exchange any item with Historical Emporium you will have no problem but the added shipping costs will double the purchase price of your items!

Good but beware
I purchased these glasses to complete the character I am currently portraying. The glasses looked great when I opened the package but buyers should note that the glasses are made for an extremely narrow face. With a little bending and adjusting they can fit comfortably (I went to my optician for fitting) and the narrow width of the frame actually looks great no matter what size head you have. Just note that people with extremely wide heads will have some difficulty getting them to fit. Also there is no way to take the clear glass out of the frame and replace them with different lenses. Overall, the look is fantastic and the quality is good.

Best ever
After using braces from other suppliers, I can say that these are the best that I have ever had. The button-on design is far better than any clip on style made.

Lovely
Lovely to dress up a for a fag (thats what we call a ciggy over here). Sitting in it now, smoking. Nice to dress for a quiet smoke! Also makes a fun party jacket, perfect fit for me. Though it looks a little garish in the photos it is not garish on, And nice to have a double breasted in the wardrobe

Helped win a costume contest
I bought the 1900s Bathing Suit to match up with a character from a children's book - Burt Dow, Deep Water Man. At the gala, wearing just the top underneath a yellow slicker, I was almost immediately a finalist in the costume judging and in the end won the contest. A great shirt to have on hand in my costume closet. Thanks.
