Very nice Riverdale Linen Suit. Good quality and very comfortable to wear if weather is too warm. Got a lot of compliments wearing this suit at a reenactment event.

My new left hand pistol belt is beautiful. It fits right and looks good. You are one of the very fey western wear outfitters that carried left hand rigs that are not "special orders". Thank you!

I purchased the Classic Canvas Trousers - Walnut for a western movie. The pants were too long so I had them altered at the cost of $15. The first time I wore them I was on horse back. After the shoot, I went home and found that the crotch seams were ripped open. I would send them back but I have already had them altered. Now I have to pay to have them repaired.

The phone service and mail time was super, but felt the cost was a tad high, but not unreasonable. Would be nice if a bustle pad was included in the pricing. You need to expand your selections on blouses...materials and styles. Three-quarter sleeves for 1880-1890's would be nice, with some light-weight fabrics. Hats also need to be more selective for the ladies.... Overall, I do love your "store" and will certainly order again in the future!

Purchased several items for a play I am in. I am very happy with the quality of the items I purchased. Well made, and accurate descriptions of each item. I would recommend this site without reservations to anyone looking for period clothing that is well-made, and worth the price.

I really appreciated the willingness of your staff to work work me on my enquiry. The shipping cost to New Zealand is high, so having an understanding person apply the sale discount to my order made a big difference to my total spend. Thank you.

I had ordered 3 white and 1 red shirt for a costume I regularly wear because they were on sale. I had already had great experiences with Historical Emporium, so I watch their website for items I'm interested in. In this case, I received a message that they only had 2 white shirts left at the sale price. I talked with customer service and changed my order over the phone to 2 white and 2 red. The order arrived a day earlier than expected, too!

Products for left handers
I love my left hand western belt and holster set. It fits perfectly and is very handsome. You are one of the few places a left hand western shooter can find authentic gear that is not a special order nightmare.

Something different
I enjoy these glasses. The glasses are great at night when riding a bike and great during the day when flipping the shaded lens down. They are fun.

Size
I ordered a 36 waist (my normal blue jeans size) and these were more like 34s, disappointing, to say the least, especially since I had to special order the size.

A Little Roomy, But It's All Good
Picked these up for a costume. I'm a 32W/34L. The pants that arrived felt more of a 33W and 35L. I say this without having measured a thing. Ordinarily I would have sent them back for a smaller size, but the roominess allows me to make some killer dynamic poses. So it's all good!

Odessa Skirt
I love the skirt, but finding a proper bustle pad is a challenge! Trying to stay away from a hoop bottomed petticoat and only using a full underskirt petticoat, but the draw-up bustle back is taking a toll on me! Trying to get the "right look and profile!"

Loving my fez
I received my fez last week and have enjoyed wearing around the house in the evenings. It has provoked comments from friends, and that was the point.

It's a great shirt
This is a great shirt. The color is appealing and goes well with brown pants. The material is sturdy but soft to the touch, and it's very comfortable. I would definitely buy it again.

The purse matched my outfit perfectly and was period appropriate! I had some ask where did you get that? Historical Emporium of course!

Top quality yet very affordable!
Unbelievable quality! Every seam is hidden and the entire coat is well sewn, with no loose ends or messy oversewn stitching. The material is top quality with an excellent weight. The coat is versatile. Any man who sees this coat asks where we bought it!

Well made, great fitting
This Bush jacket is what I was looking for. Well made, fits well, material strong. I wish it had a few inner pockets but they can be added if necessary. I've shortened the jacket...but that's individual preference.

How grandpa got dressed
This is my second shirt from Historical Emporium, but my first collarless. With it I bought three different collars (in the same size) and some collar studs. Quality-wise the shirt is well made and perfectly satisfactory. Ordering the right size without an actual fitting can be hit or miss, but the shirt fitted very well using the Emporium's guides to measure up. I didn't need the collar studs. The shirt has a button at back of the collar and comes with a stud at the front. Collar studs aren't visible under neck-wear, either; still, it's nice to have a set to my own taste and small items get lost, so spares are good. Wearing it - now there's a small learning curve! I hadn't had a detachable-collared shirt since the air force cadets (way back in the '60s) issued us lads mismatched WW2 uniform equipment, and mine never fitted! This shirt and the collar did, both me and each other. But how did grandpa get dressed without the help of a gentleman's gentleman? I found, after fruitless contortions, the easy way is to attach the collar by the back button, and one end of the collar to the collar stud, but leave the other end free. Pull the shirt on (it only unbuttons part way!) then do up the shirt and attached collar. Then add your period neck-wear. And a vest/waistcoat. A gentleman never wore his shirt fully exposed. Finally, wear it in public. Be ready for conversations. Possibly, ask Historical Emporium for a supply of their cards to hand out.

Canvas Vest
My wife ordered this for me for a wedding in Colorado. The fit is great and seems to be very well made. She loves the look of the vest and is very pleased with the quality.

great shirt
I like this shirt because the fabric is good, the double stitching is good, and the fit and feel of this XL, somewhat puffy shirt is excellent.
