I have been pleased with each transaction. Items are well-described, and the only surprises I get are pleasant ones. The product is usually better than I expected.

This is a unique business. They cater to a specific market and know how to do it very well. Descriptions of product are detailed, yet concise. I recommend reading any specific notes on the item. The information is extremely helpful in making your decisions. The photos allow you to see the item from all angles including how they look in a complete ensemble. You know what you are buying. There are plenty of links on a product page to see other related items. This made my shopping experience a breeze. From a customer service standpoint, the company is wonderful. I had some minor questions and when I called I was greeted by a knowledgeable represented who was incredibly warm and friendly. She answered my questions completely, offering her recommendations based on her experience with other customers. I was in good hands. I placed my order (a complete ensemble) online on a Friday and it was on my doorstep on Monday morning! I don't expect this to be the norm, but it definitely was a pleasant surprise. Thanks to the detailed descriptions and excellent customer service everything fit perfectly! I did have to hem the trousers, but I knew I'd have to, based on the product notes. The fabrics are sturdy, well-constructed and reasonably priced. I do a lot of cosplay and have spent small fortunes on costumes. My entire ensemble (jacket, vest, shirt, trousers, and tie) cost about the same as the hat I'll be wearing with it. All-in-all, this was a great experience from beginning to end. I hope you take advantage of their services. You won't be sorry. Have fun in your historical adventures!

As a first time overseas buyer I was very nervous about my shopping experience. However when my purchase arrived I couldn't have been happier. Quality was excellent and the delivery time far better than predicted. Overall, I'm a very happy shopper !

Once again a well made item. It does run true to size. The first two blouses I purchased were a bit more generous in the bust. I would have returned it but I am afraid the armhole might have been too large as in modern clothing. Period clothing is quite fitting in this area renders a more true look. I'm fussy. Just might have to lose a few pounds.

I was really happy with the whole experience. Good selection of garments, well made and just what I was hoping for. Service was prompt and really fast delivery considering I live halfway around the world from you guys. What's not to like about that. Thanks again.

My husband needed a vest for an event we are participating in. I searched the internet and found the selection here far surpassed anywhere else. We are both very pleased with the quality and fit of the vest. Will certainly shop on this site again and will recommend with confidence.

My mom loves the hat. She wore it to a party and received lots of compliments. Shipping was fast and the hat was well packaged.

Really great Spats
Absolutely love em. Well made, reversible. Will use them over my Ariat equestrian boots as part of costume ensemble. I like them enough, I would use them with the boots for other fun occasions I think. Really fun ladies. I wear sz 8.5 boot and purchased sz Sm/ Med and they are perfect.

it is a very nice nice material and not to thick
it is a very nice nice material and not to thick. i got the medium cause I read other reviews that said to get that for a size 42. it just barly fits me but that's ok cause I am losing weight. The look though is impeccable you will be surprised hwo good you look in it and I'm not a person to brag on myself. I do recommend wearing light clothes under it though

My chemistry students loved me in this lab coat! One of the school colors was red and this made a really bold statement!

Good but not great
I own a couple of pairs of the surplus Swiss motorcyclist gaiters, on which these are based. These are fairly well-made, but the leather is not as thick as the originals, nor as it appears to be i. Also, the straps are a little stretchy and the buckle-holes are small and not all punched-through. For the money, I was expecting heavier leather with better attention to detail.

Frock coat
I was hoping this coat would have been a touch more light weight . It works well for the production it is intended for however the padded shoulders add bulk that is not necessary. As always it is well made and would have given 5 stars except for the items mentioned above

Exceeds Expectations
Not only is this an excellent reproduction of historical garb, it is also a great-looking, comfortable shirt. The workmanship is neat and 'clean,' and the fabric is soft, yet substantial. The only possible improvement I can think of is ti offer this shirt in a wider range of colours and fabrics.

Wonderful vest!
I love this vest. The material and workmanship are all first class. The fit was true to size and the adjustment strap in the back kept it snug around my middle. Highly recommended and yes, I would buy it again.

Perfect swim suit for the beach.
I wanted a swim suit that I could play on the beach in the sand without feeling exposed. This was perfect. I swam in the pool today and it works great in the water too.

Rip off
For the price I expected better quality, but it looks like a cane you would use for a Halloween costume, it looks very cheap.

Great Product.
I purchased this gun belt and holster as a Father's Day gift for my husband. My husband, author Cabot Barden, has an old 1860 Black Powder Navy Colt, .44 cal. Cabot and John T. Wayne, grandson of legendary actor, John Wayne ("The Duke") will be appearing in a mini-movie this month set in Calera, Alabama at the Heart of Dixie Railroad Museum's "Wild West Day" in a staged train robbery. They both play U. S. Marshall's in the video. Cabot will be using his Navy Colt and wearing this gun belt and holster for the filming. He was very pleased with the workmanship and detail of the gun belt and holster, very well made, great product and an excellent value for a gun belt and holster of this high quality. We would both highly recommend this product.

TOO TIGHT
I ORDERED SIZE 44 HARVEY KNICKERS AND I RECEIVED SIZE 44 HOWEVER THEY WERE MORE LIKE SIZE 38, I COULD NOT BUTTON THEM UP NO WAY. I FINALLY LOWERED THEM DOWN TO MY THIGHS BUTTONED THEM UP AND THEN PULLED THEM UP LIKE A GIRDLE. WENT TO THE PARTY BUT WAS UNCOMFORTABLE ALL NIGHT! I WOULD LIKE TO WEAR THE OUTFIT AGAIN BUT CAN'T, TOO TIGHT.

great pants
These pants are awesome! The pinstriping is raised so they have a really excellent texture to them. I can wear anything in my wardrobe with them and they look great, the color is truly universal. I'm looking forward to wearing my new tan tweed ankle boots with them when they arrive, should work great.

Not quite right
These trousers look nice enough, but having worn them out and about, for me they just don't quite work. the problem is with the front pockets. They are SO small My entire hand will not fit inside! I have a total of 7 pairs of trousers I have bought from this site, these being my first pair of Scully trousers. The Wahmaker and Frontier Classics trousers don't have this problem. I knocked off the 2 stars solely due to this problem.
