I have been looking for the item I bought for some time, little did I know it was available, finally I did browse through the web sites and discovered yours. Thank you, for me it is perfect.

This was my first time ordering and was hesitant because of the size of my feet size 12. I usually have problems with the width as well as comfort because of the surgery I had on one foot. The shoes arrived I tried them on and thought that I would have to return them because they were tight, but after walking around the house for a while they stretched and fit like a glove

I LOVE you guys! I LOVE your clothes!!! If I won the lottery, I'd go on a Historical Emporium shopping spree, just because I can do it! You guys are awesome, and I hope you know that! I wore your black cavas trousers and vest, with the matte puff tie, on a white wingtip collared shirt and a white Resistol hat for Halloween. I sat out on the front porch giving the kids their candy. One guy (an adult, a parent...) said "Hey, look at that gunslinger up there!" I wasn't wearing a holster because the one I bought years... ago... doesn't go all the way around anymore... One child called me 'Sheriff'... It was awesome! We're going up to Lake Isabella for this weekend. The town of Kernville, once called "Whiskey Flats", was once a mining town, so I'll wear your classic canvas trousers (brown). Some people might call it "dressing up, or even *cosplay* (whatever that is...), but I just call it being comfortable, and dressing for the occasion, and fitting in? Either way, THANK YOU for even existing!

I have ordered from Historical Emporium several times. Each time the order has arrived promptly. Be sure to follow directions in ordering Trousers as sizing needs to be adjusted for the higher waist line.

The whole process from ease of use web site to delivery was excellent. The products: Cavendish Tweed Vest - Brown Herringbone and Sinclair edwardian Club Collar Shirt - White were exactly what I was looking for. The materials and manufacture very good. The reason I bought here was the tall size offering. It felt custom made based on the sizing suggestions. I'll definitely buy here again.

I have made two purchases from Historical Emporium.It was fast and easy to find exactly what I was looking for. I was notified immediately and kept informed of the shipping details.Each order was received within a couple of days.Everything I ordered was packaged with care and the products were of the finest quality. I will be making my third order soon. I highly recommend the Historical Emporium as a great company to do business with.

Like many people I order quite a bit online. I have yet to see quality or service as exceptional as the historic Emporium. I also was impressed by the communication regarding time of shipment, receipt invoice and the people with whom I spoke to on the phone. I look forward to recommending you to everyone I know.

Was a little disappointed that there were no axtive pockets inn the vest or coat, but overall, the quality was nothing short of excellent. My wife didn't use any of the clothes that she ordered, (the women's articles), because the fit was not right.

Another Beutiful Piece
A beautiful, well made piece that I expect to have for years to come. It's the final part of my "Regency Tuxedo" and fits quite well with the black Drop Front Pants and red Cavalier Vest that I had purchased previously.

Gorgeous, as pictured
I was extremely pleased with this blouse. I got tons of compliments on my costume. I ordered a Large based on my bust measurements - probably could have gotten the Medium, but the fit was good nonetheless.

“Fits like a glove!”
Having a fondness for fine quality waistcoats, my black ‘Callahan Vest’ is now an elegant member of my collection. I am well pleased with the perfect drape, and the English tailoring in this waistcoat. Compliments abound! Warm regards.

Gives new life to a top hat
I didn't know hat spats existed until I happened upon them on this site. Spats do much to spice up an ordinary black top hat, giving it personality and color while retaining its formality.

I wore this as part of a Victorian formal outfit. It's a lovely watch that many people liked; it really brought the look together.

Great Quality and Price
This is my second purchase from HE, and I'm as pleased this time as the first. The vest is a "sturdy" weight canvas (love it), and very well made. I bought a XXL and the size is perfect for my big torso. My only regret is that I didn't order this as a "Long". It comes right to my waist (what it is intended to do), but being a "big guy" I prefer something that extends below my belt-line a bit. The added 2" in the long version would make this perfect for me. However, I'm NOT going to return it, because it will inspire me to lose a few pounds. Shipping was next day (WOW!!!!), and the price is UNBEATABLE! I will be buying more from this company.

Westley Stripe Shirt
A really well made shirt! Looks great and high quality. The material is on the heavier side, so probably too heavy for out of doors in the summer months but great for all other seasons. Bought it for theatrical performance but I just might buy a few for everyday wear.

Long Boots
Great boots for the period and place I represent (circa 1850 - Texas). I bought size 13, too big. I exchanged for 11, way too small. I exchanged for 12 and they fit. Still a little tight in the toe, but loose in the heel. I think I need to wear thicker socks. Better a little too big than too small. All in all they are perfect for a theatrical performance utt

Classy Protection
If you have to venture out in inclement weather for a formal event in a suit this is the coat for you. It splendidly covers even a tuxedo with tails and does so with a touch of old world genteel fashion without sacrificing serviceability. One recommendation I do make is that you get this garment rainproofed by your local dry cleaner.

Realistic Design
These boots are the real deal. I bought these for a costume, but I will wear them out and with thick socks. I could walk in them and I'm usually in flats. Can't wait to wear them with long skirts this winter.

Prickly shoulders
The blouse itself is quite nice and fits well. The shoulder seams, however, are horrible. The material to make it stiff, buckram or something, pokes right into my shoulders. It's like pins sticking into your skin. I had to sew some seam binding on it to be able to wear it.

Great vest
Fits perfectly, elegant, everything as advertised. I do really like it. My only issue is that there were a couple others I liked more, and really anted to have instead, but they didn't come in a larger size. With that said, this one is great. Thanks

Button Suspenders
These have a robust elastic. The hardware is sound. The tabs could be thicker but are easily repaired if they end up giving out.

Keyhole Lace Gloves
These gloves were the perfect touch to my 1800's costume. The keyhole design gave a nice feminine look...One size Fits Most. Couldn't figure out if the backside of these gloves had a snap opening or not...it was hard to open...but luckily they had enough stretch/or elastic give that each glove slipped over my hand and were on securely.

Embroidered Work Shirt
This shirt fit as expected. Nice medium weight material with slight puff shoulders, high neckline and banded cuffs. Dark Burgundy and went well with the dark red vest that I also ordered.

Pretty Petticoat
Uncertain of size to order, so I went with Large. Fit good..and with the adjustable draw string, it was secured and gave a nice fullness to the black walking skirt worn over the top. The ruffled hemline gave a very nice affect and petticoat added additional warmth this early, chilly Fall.

Magdalene Vest
Love this vest. It does run Small so be sure to order up one or two sizes. Quality of materials is excellent and delivery as expected. Wore this for 1800's Murder Mystery and got compliments. Could also be worn for this era.

Sizing!!!
Absolutely beautiful fabric, finish, details...BUT about 6 sizes too small even though i ordered a size up! Lovely customer service, but they told me to Always talk to Customer Service as the sizes are not consistent for them, either. I will order again, their products are magnificent, but I'm thinking 6 or more sizes up!

Great for costume!
Very happy with these boots. Comfortable and cute. My friend and I went out for Halloween and she got similar boots for her costume from a different website. Half way through the night her heel ripped off one of her boots. I was glad mine stayed perfectly in tact!
