Historical Emporium is our go-to resource whenever we need well made, period appropriate costumes for our local theater company. Unlike most online resources, if I submit a 'special instruction' note upon ordering, someone actually reads it and responds with an answer immediately! They have shipped immediately when the item is in stock, have offered great options when there are challenges but always delivered on whatever solution that is agreed. The product quality is superb - worth the price since they wash, wear and last well. We bought the Bard shirt for our tall, long armed Shakespearean actor (who happens to be my son!) and their sizing and descriptions are actually accurate - this in NOT the case with other suppliers! It came as quickly as I needed it - and as promised and was so fantastic, we actually bought another that likewise arrived quickly enough for use during the show run. Terrific! We are very satisfied customers and recommend them highly.

This was my first time ordering from Historical Emporium. I must say that I am greatly pleased. The quality of the vest far exceeded my expectations. Well-detailed, and it fits fine. I was also greatly impressed with the speed of delivery. I swear, I barely had it ordered, and it arrived. Thank you!

The belt fits well, high quality leather with nice stitching for improved strength. The holster is smooth inside and conforms to the revolver very well, Overall nice fit with a smooth inside which draws easy and efficent.

there are many different types of straw used in hats. I believe that the strongest, and also very attractive is the straw used in Guatamala! I have had one for over 25 years and the straw derby is even better made. Some day I may buy the straw top hat, also the tough Guatamalin palm straw!

Excellent accessory. Thanks.

I have a Heritage Rough Rider 1860's Colt style .22 that I thought needed an era style holster to be carried in. I searched several websites and found Historical Emporium. After looking at several of the Western Gun Belt and Holsters on the site, I chose the Chocolate Brown Tooled Leather one. I followed the instructions on belt sizing measuring several times to make sure I got it right. After reading several reviews about the quick delivery time I ordered my holster. Low and behold the reviews were right. I expected to wait 10 days or so but the rig came in about 4 days. I had company over to shoot with me the day it arrived and when I opened it I was glad to have found Historical Emporium. All were impressed with the rig. The belt fit just right with plenty of adjustment, the tooling is beautiful and the leather is very heavy in thickness. After strapping the belt on it felt very natural and the pistol fits perfect. The holster is long enough to take either my 4" or 6" guns. The gun is easy to put in and take out and feels smooth when it is placed in or removed. I can see that a quick draw can eventually be made. The holster comes with a hammer thong which is also era style. The cartridge loops hold the .22s in tight and there are enough loops for several reloads. Over all I could not be more pleased with my purchase. I would recommend this belt and holster to anyone wanting a western style rig!

The vest is very well made. The wool fronting fabric is excellent and has a nice texture. The pockets are deep and functional for using pocket watches and other things The interior pockets are very nice and fully functional.

great pocket watch. hands could be longer but you get used to it.

love it what I was looking for as a gift . he also loves it thanks me often.

Great quality vest, very sharp! Ordered it to be worn at a wedding and was very happy I did. Excellent company, with great service!

Soooo happy with this purchase! Ordered it for my future husband to wear on our wedding day. It is just beautiful, and everyone that I have showed it to thinks so also. Can't wait to give it to him. Hope he loves it as much as I did!

Tie is great exactly what I wanted would have been nice if it could be shipped flat so it didn’t arrive with a Big crease in it

This is a fantastic style and material of hat. I used to own this exact one several years ago but wore it out. I’m very happy to have bought it again. As with all new hats it’s very stiff and hard all over. So use it a lot to get a well used comfortable feeling later on.

While this jacket came as described on the website, I did find that it was a bit roomier than expected. I ordered a 3XT and ended up having it tailored with darts to eliminate some of the extra fabric across the chest. I still recommend this jacket, though if in doubt, you can size down for a more tailored fit.

This is the second time I have ordered the Ferndale Striped Trousers due to their great look and reliable quality. While they are true to size as described on the website, it should be noted that because they are cotton, they do stretch once worn and heated up by the body - similar to how jeans will stretch out once worn several times. I highly recommend these durable trousers.

This vest is true to size based on the measurements provided on the website. I am consistently impressed with quality of clothing from Historical Emporium and will continue to be a loyal customer. I highly recommend this vest.

Poorly sewn together. Funky sizing and fit. Not worth the money.

Great product that most all of my friends love when they see it and they want to purchase it but cant on your site. Please let me klnow when this product returns to production.

I have bought three of these for myself and my kids. They do run a little small I feel. Weight and color are perfect

Arrived quickly without incident. The vest looks awesome, like one of my tailored vests. Quality really exceeded my expectation.

Excellent repro....fits great and it is well received!,Thanx!

This blouse came on time, fit exactly as described, and looked fantastic!

A very reasonably priced boater, of very good quality. Everything I have ever purchased from Historical Emporium has been of top quality, everything has always shipped promptly, and communications, when necessary, have been excellent.

I wore this blouse for an 1894 costume while attending a Victorian Garden Party. It was perfect. The fit was just as expected. It is well-made. If you need a blouse like this, you can't go wrong getting this one.

Historical Emporium customer service and quality far exceed my expectation! Quality merchandise that always gets compliments whenever I or my husband wear one of our outfits from Historical Emporium. Always prompt delivery. My last ordered I placed on Thursday evening and received the following Monday and I didn’t pay for expedited delivery!!!! I returned 1 items due to sizing, wanting it replaced with a different size. I asked for the wrong size and their customer service called to verify I was ordering the right size. Great catch on their end! 5 Stars all the way across!

Well made, good construction, good fit.

I got this for my father as a gift and he absolutely loved it. When I opened it the entire house smelled of leather it was great. I looked very nice and appeared to be of good quality. I don’t know anything about holsters though to be honest.

These are excellent. They look very fine quality. They buttoned up easily enough and looked great. I wore them to GENCON this year as part of my steampunk outfit. They are so nice I will wear them on those occasions when I want to really dress up. They do not look cheap or costume at all.
