I love Historical Emporium. I have always had a victorian sense of style and after years of piecing together my look from the meager findings in the mainstream retail world, I finally have found MY STORE! I feel like I have come home after years of wandering. I wear Historical Emporium clothing as part of my everyday wardrobe. Their prices are very reasonable; the quality of their clothing is excellent; the shipping time is phenomenal and the the customer service is outstanding! I plan on being a loyal customer for many years to come!

Ordered shirt for my husband. He thanked me for buying the shirt, he was very surprised as to the quality and fit. I will check your site next time he needs a period costume piece. You shipped in a quick manner and I thank you for that.

Despite the manufacture's mistake of mislabeling the boxes, HE managed to provide me with my vest in a very reasonable time and the right size too.

I had ordered the Plain Brown western Gun Belt & Holster in the wrong size. I returned the belt & holster for an exchange and had my new belt & holster a little more then a week later. I am extremely pleased with the product and service. Will definitely order from Historical Emporium again.

The corset seemed a bit small and had no modesty panel under the laces. The quality otherwise was very good.

I initially contacted customer service about the size of the holster I wanted to purchase and decided to go against their advice and bought a larger size, which was a mistake. I should have followed their advice and saved myself some shipping charges. Nevertheless, within a 10 day period I received the holster, returned it for a smaller size, and received the new one. It's important to note that they are in California and I am in New Hampshire, which shows how fast they processed my initial order, as well as the exchange. Ultimately, I have a nice leather holster that will last for many years. In the future, I certainly will keep Historical Emporium in mind whenever I am in the market for a product that they sell.

Lovely Gloves
These are nice and stretchy. I have chubby hands and it's always a gamble whether gloves bought online will fit, but these fit great!

Fantastic coat!
This coat fit true to size, and I love the weight of it - not too heavy, not too light. The best thing about it is it has pockets!!!

Very Nice
This vest is much nicer in person than in the pictures! A rich caramel color and enough length to wear with levis. Nice deep pockets and you can just throw it in the wash when you need to clean it up.

Not like picture...
I expected the hair net to be thicker and heavier, like the picture...it was thin, and after awhile, allowed my hair to slide through the holes of the netting, which affected the wearing time and costume appearance - it made me totally concerned about my hair instead of being my role.

Great Shirt!
I really love my Flatiron shirt! It is very well made and a very comfortable material. The stripping is very faint and tone on tone--doesn't clash with anything else with a pattern. Definitely need to use a tie tack if wearing a puff tie--I found the tab in back a little roomy and it allows the thin tie neckband a little too much movement. Still, that is hardly a concern. The shirt is really excellent and I certainly plan on adding others in different colors to my wardrobe!

Excellent Shirt
I really like my Topeka shirt! It is well made and a good weight for all season wear. I suppose the hottest months that call for short sleeves are out--but I could see pulling it out if I needed long sleeves for a more formal function. The tab in the back holds a puff tie in place perfectly. It is a little darker than it appears in the pictures.

Very Satisfied
I purchased this holster for my Dad for his birthday, and he loves it! All the leather is tooled, including the holster, and it fits Dad's bone handled 44 Mag like a glove. Looks and functions great!

I Love these pants!
Let me begin by saying that I wear Historical Emporium clothing as part of my everyday wardrobe. Their products are reasonably priced and very well made and easily stand up to every day wear in my business attire rotation. I was looking for a lighter pair of pants for the warmer months and these are perfect! The material is sturdy, but very light weight and breathable. The pants are very comfortable. Why anyone would want to wear lower cut pants with a belt squeezing their waist is beyond me! The pattern is just as it appears in the photo. As with all Historical Emporium pants, they will need to be hemmed--but really, every gentleman should have a good tailor!

Wonderful
I love my silk puff tie. I have it in chocolate, black, rust, and taupe. This is a look that really needs to come back! With the exception of the hot southern summers, I wear a waistcoat everyday and a puff tie is the perfect way to set it off. I wear puff ties as part of my everyday wardrobe, and granted, it may be a little eccentric, but they provide a really classy alternative to traditional 21st century neck wear.

Old West Look
Very nice frock. Not your average re-enactor type apparel. Very well made, the polyester feels good, not as heavy/hot as the wool types. I ordered a 42, it fits a bit more like a 42L. Sleeves just barely a bit long for me, but still acceptable. The upper L chest pocket is not a real pocket, it is for an appearance look. I would prefer that it would be. Over all- A well made jacket, looks great! I will wear it with my cowboy boots and hat, with a dress shirt and bolo tie- That attire will be good for any outing!

Understated Elegance
Awesome tie! It provides just enough style to accent your wardrobe without being all uppity. As a circuit rider, I wear the plain black canvas vest, trousers, and coat. It is the perfect accent when I'm not wearing a clerical collar. The fabrics all have that natural, rustic appearance that adds authenticity to the look. Absolutely love it as with everything I buy from HE!!

incredible quality
I have ordered 3 bib shirts from Historical Emporium. I was amazed with the quality of the merchandise. Every time I wear one of the shirts I have people come up to me and compliment me on the shirts. I will continue to be a very satisfied customer and will not hesitate to buy from this company again. Historic Emporium rocks.

great product
Every part of this product was as you stated in the web site. Good quality leather, fit, and workmanship. The sizing was true to size I did order one size up because I was afraid at the true size it would just fit and there would be no overlap. I was wrong I could have used the true size, the one size up still works so I don't see a need to return for a different size. I'm sure you could buy a fancier belt and holster but unless you are a professional why would you. This holster and belt is very well made, and is sold at a reasonable price. Very Happy!

Disappointed in collar
The shirt quality is excellent. But I am disappointed in the color. I bought this one to use both collar up and collar down. It does not look that great collar up -- I may try heavy starch on that to get it stiffer. Or I may get a different shirt that is designed to be always collar up. I use this when I drive a horse-drawn carriage and the collar is going to have to stay up while I am driving.

An excellent product. Very well made. Also, the sizing information was quite accurate. This is unfortunately not always the case when you buy clothing on-line. But these guys did a great job!

Gillespie Frock Coat
Love the frock coat; beautiful burgundy color. This is a well made and heavy coat best suited for cooler weather. I always need to have the sleeves shortened at my local tailors. The size 50 coat fitted my 49 inch chest size.
