I am a Civil War reenactor and have been asked to portray Jefferson Davis, the first and only president of the Confederate States of America, at an event in October, 2018. I needed a pair of civilian pants similar to what he would have wornn in 1863. The Ludlow Trousers are perfect for this as this style of pants was common in the 60's and well as the '90's (1860's & 1890's) for men of "proper deportment and stature".

I thought the vintage bathing suits were well made, authentic, and fairly priced. I'm an author/illustrator and purchased these for children to wear for my next book which takes place in the early 1900's. I use photographs for the illustrations which I digitally alter to look like drawings so clothing and props are very much a part of my work. I thought the pantaloons were very overpriced as they are just plain fabric with no decoration. I was very pleased with the service and delivery time. Thank you.

The black duster is a great product. I received it in record time! I appreciated the postcard with everyone's signature on it too. Nice, personal touch.

The duster was purchased for a trip I took a mere 9 days after placing the order. I was very concerned that it would arrive by my travel date. The garment arrived in three days! The coat receives compliments each time I wear it. I am highly impressed with the level of customer service I received and the quality of my duster. Thank you!

I bought a costume badge. I tried to buy a pair of pants, vest and shirt. They were sold out of everything I needed. I was shocked. I could have had a pair of pants made, but it would have taken weeks. I didn't have the time. I will look again, but if they are out of all the things I need again, it will be my last time to shop with them. Too bad too! I like their service.

Olson Saddle Pants
I had purchased clothing from another online shop. When it arrived I was disappointed with my purchase. You get what you pay for. It was not genuine material, buttons popped off, and it was a tight fit.. After that I was worried about my purchase from the Historical Emporium. They mentioned to get a little bit bigger size for these pants (I'm a 34, they suggested a 36). The cost is more than I pay for pants. But these are special made. It was a little wait for delivery, no problem. When they arrived they fit great, lasting material and I couldn't be more pleased. I will be ordering more.

Great vest
I’m 6’5” and 240 lbs. the XLT fit perfectly. I also bought the brown vest in this style. My only regret? That this style of vest in XLT only comes in two colors.

High quality leather helmet, super comfy, went with larger size based on other reviews and was not disappointed! Does NOT come with the goggles, but I got some on eBay for less than $10.

Cool Breeze
The Bryant Tweed Vest - Tan Herringbone in color, is a very simple and marvelously crafted vest. Derived from The Walden, this vest comes to us just in time for Spring. Its relaxed hue combined with its gorgeous herringbone pattern is calming as a soothing breeze. And its neutral tone is sure to provide a sense of elegance and sophistication to any colorful scheme that you might pair with it. As always, this vest is constructed with top notch craftsmanship and can be worn to formal, semi formal and informal events. And it's heavy but breathable construction makes it the perfect vest to wear all year round. There is no doubt that this vest should be a welcome addition, as well, become the centerpiece of every true gentleman's wardrobe. Thank you Emporium

LOVE the parasol and matching fan. The quality is top shelf and they were packed securely in a rigid tube to avoid any damage. I would definitely do business with Historical Emporium again.

Keep The Colors Coming!
The Glenhurst Tweed Vest - Olive Herringbone in color is derived from The Walden, and like its predecessor, it brings with it all of the familiares: tremendous character, outstanding construction and astonishing charm. Then just when you think that you have this vest all figured out, The Emporium gives it an unexpected twist by christening it with a dramatic color! The mature dark olive hue gives the vest a sleek air of serious sophistication. If you are looking for a vest that gives any outfit a very polished and refined look then this vest certainly fit that bill! It can be worn to formal, informal or semi formal events and its heavy but breathable construction allows it to be worn year round. I can only hope that more colorful tweed herringbone patterned vests, (yellow, blue, orange, purple etc.), will soon make an appearance beside this one in my wardrobe. Well done Emporium!

Perfect Coat
I am going on another Wyatt Earp Vendetta Ride in Tombstone with Great American Adventures in October. It's their 10th Anniversary ride and we are going to do a Johnny Ringo Day. I bought the coat for my Johnny Ringo outfit (duplicating Micheal Bhein's Johnny Ringo in the movie Tombstone). It is as close to the coat worn in the movie as any I could find anywhere. It works perfect and I will use it also in Cowboy Action Shooting matches.

Outstanding shirt
I have many shirts and trousers from this company. I wanted something a little different. Soft. Great looking. For me this is going to be a really great dress shirt or it could be a great every day shirt depending how I want to wear it. When it came in the mail and I opened it I was happily surprised. I showed it to my wife and she liked it right away. Next I'm buying a western dress tie to go with it. You can't go wrong buying from this company. Great service. Fast shipping and great customer service. Crossdrawjohn. Arizona.

Great pants
These lightweight twill trousers are just the thing for summer wear. Extremely comfortable and (except for the length prior to alteration) a perfect fit. I wear these all the time, not just to "Western" events, simply because they are so comfortable, especially in hot Texas weather. Why we ever transitioned to bluejeans, I'll never understand. I'm very happy with these, and plan to buy a couple of additional pairs.

Perfect!
I bought this for my husband to wear at our town's Heritage Day celebration, but he loved it so much that he's worn it to work several times already! He's tall, so the extra length in the tall sizes is a welcome plus. The paisley pattern is absolutely gorgeous. This is the 5th or 6th vest we've bought from Historical Emporium, and we'll continue to buy new ones.

Awesome!
Love this skirt! The fabric, with the embroidery, is very classy. Though designed to be mid-calf length, it works as a full-length for me because I'm short. I purchased this for our town's Heritage Day celebration - and I can't wait for the day of the event.

Love this!
This blouse was purchased for our town's Heritage Day celebration, and I just love it! It's not so Victorian that it can't be worn any time, yet has enough Victorian details to make it appear authentic. It's very comfortable and adjusts via the front laces. I'll be wearing this a lot!

Beautiful!
Love this choker which was purchased to go with the Victorian outfit I purchased for our town's Heritage Day celebration. Just beware - if you have a fat neck (like I do) it's kind of tight. I may add a few links to the chain to make it a little bigger.

Purchased for Cosplay
I purchased this item for a cosplay. It no longer comes with the gold plain buttons apparently, but silver patterned buttons instead. I'll have to replace the buttons to make it correct for my outfit. Otherwise it is a very nice vest and fits perfectly.

Nice Badge
As I looked at virtually all available Texas Ranger badges on the web, it became apparent that none of them were anywhere close to being realistic. First the original was hand made from a Mexican 5 Peso coin. This one was cast metal with a pin soldered on the back. All these badges read "Texas Rangers" with an "s". The original was singular in spelling "Texas Ranger". It spoke of the man, not the organisation. In their defense, it is against the law to make an identical reproduction of a Texas Ranger badge. I wasn't looking for an identical reproduction, I needed a badge to do a show and this filled the bill. Don't expect anything more than a costume piece and particularly at this price.

The Best Bloomers
I bought my own bloomers for my outfit, because I will be wearing these 3 times per week the rest of the year and I wanted something comfortable, very nice and durable. These bloomers are better, by far, than any of the other bloomers that the theatre provided. I've already given ordering info to other people!
