Size was not what it said on the hat. Hat not shaped correctly. This for a $95 hat, even one made in China.

Quality was top notch. Great selection of items. Customer service was PERFECT too. I had multiple calls and each time the service and advice was excellent. This is a marvelous organization with a great niche of offerings. Glad I found you. I did have to return one item (wrong size) and purchase an alternative. Again, customer service was extremely good at helping me select the item and place the order. I asked for expedited delivery and was told it would arrive "the next day". The item was shipped it to me via USPS, but it was instead guaranteed "two days later" according to the tracking site. USPS then actually did not deliver it on time, and delayed delivery until the THIRD day "by 8 PM". This was the day I needed the item however, so I panicked and ran out to purchase a make-shift coat from Goodwill. I spent time sewing it into a "cutaway" style. About an hour before I left for my masquerade ball event, the package arrived. The coat quality again was great, but I had to scramble to pin the sleeves up shorter. No time to sew it up. I found the delivery hassles very stressful, but found this was the problem of USPS much more than Historic Emporium. I would recommend that Historical Emporium not use the USPS, but rather FedEx or UPS which I feel is more reliable for 1 and 2 day deliveries.

I received the size I ordered. And I received them in a timely manner. But - the pants were cut a bit larger than the sizing chart. That is to say they were too large. Unfortunately I had ordered the pants primarily for a specific event and there was not time to reorder or make an exchange before I needed the pants. So I had to do a return instead. The return was handled with the same courtesy and efficiency as the purchase. I appreciate this and will be doing business with you again in the future

I bought the Coachman hat and a pair of white gloves. Gloves were great and for what I paid for the Hat I would have expected better quality or a cheaper price. I feel like I paid for an $80 hat and got a $50 hat. Product Shipped faster than expected. However I am still able to use the hat for photography pieces, I was hoping to use this hat for Reenactments with some dramatic death scenes. However I would be afraid to fall on it as the top of the hat feels like plastic and if you land on it might crack or rip, or tear a hole in it.

'HE' Folks! You're GREAT! Everything per your highly adequate sizing fits like it was tailor made! This Christmas, my lady and I will step out in true Victorian/ edwardian style thanks to a company such as yourselves! One bit of "constructive" criticism....try photographing your clothing with a contrasting background! My lady received her blouse today (she LOVES it!)....and I was highly impressed by the delicate lace that adorned the front of it. Didn't see that in the ad photo! I wish 'HE' continued success and am a confirmed customer!!

This was my first time ordering from Historical Emporium. Couldn't be more pleased with the pricing, ease of ordering, and delivery time. I own a video production company and needed some western themed wardrobe for a promo I was shooting. Most importantly, I needed it to look authentic (but not cheap) and for it to be able to stand up to full shooting days and multiple washes. The build quality of the material and stitching is stellar and the cost is very reasonable. I will definitely be using Historical Emporium in the future for my production needs. Thanks guys, well done!

Mens Riding Long Boots
Very nice pare of long black leather boots. The boots are very comfortable and easy to put on. I wear a size 10 1/2 shoe. Purchased the size 10, and it fit perfectly. The classic square toe look is very nice. I purchased these boots for riding my Vespa Scooter around town. (^_^) Rather you are looking for a classic boot for dress or play, these will not disappoint. I highly recommended them!

Ran big
Great quality cotton shirt pullover with buttons half way down chest and gathered back. Putting it on transforms you into an old time shopkeeper or gambler. The XL was very roomy. I usually wear a 34 sleeve and 17 neck. Neck was comfortable but I probably could have gone with a large. Was long too so plenty to tuck in. Well worth the cost for its authentic build. With the unique collar, a regular dress shirt cannot compare.

Worth the money
This tie fastens like a pre tied bow tie with a hook and clasp that is adjustable. The style and tie tack is unlike any you will find in a men’s store. It is short fat and flat at the bottom. Can’t wait to take off my vest and have this tie really look authentic with the high collar shirt whose buttons match the tie length.

Period hat
I am very excited about the hat because it is NOT the modern flat hat you see today from time to time. This hat is wider with multiple folds like you would see on a newspaper boy in The Godfather or other period movies. Glad I purchased it to top off my outfit.

John Bull Top Hat
Size was not very close to what was advertised, and on the label. Hat was misshapen, this for a $95 hat, even if it was made in China.

Poor Quality for the price you pay
Was not too happy with the quality of the hat, the crown felt like it was made of cardboard or plastic. Its got a great look, but the quality is cheap for the price you pay. This Coachmen is thin, light, more like a theater set hat than the real thing. I feel like I paid for an $80 hat and got a $50 hat. Even though I am not able to use it for the purpose I bought it for due to afraid of tear/ripping a hole in it every time I die in reenactment, I am still keeping it for my photography studio. To sum everything up I am Disappointed.

Ordinary is Cool
A very solidly built, ordinary fez. Its constructed from an adequately thick felt. I have no qualms with its construction, materials, or design. I was looking for a fez that was simple and modest and this fez is certainly an exemplar of these ideals. It can be worn forwards or backwards on the head- it simply does it all. Truly no one could find significant fault with this fez. I think the defining understated elegance of the weight of the felt is a standout experience. Verily, one would do well to adorn their cranium with such a form! This hat respects its neighbors and is polite to old folks. Just a classy, well mannered chapeau.

Pantsy pants
I read a review to order a size or two larger than normal, and im glad i did. Im extremely pleased with the sizing, quality, and finish of these pants. Theyre perfect to use from my late 18th century to 19th century stuff i do. I highly recommend these, and if youre looking to make them look more worn they stand up superbly to tumbling and all the other aging tricks.

Everything but the buttons
The cloth is amazing, and the cut is divine but oh the buttons are a terrible design. But head to a Tailor, a good one you trust, and have them do some tweaking and switch buttons you must. The hems are now perfect and the back is less sack, sure enough you will be judged to look anything but slack. So put in your order and begin to enjoy, the thrill of appearing as the best dressed playboy.

This Vest Will Make You Look Good - Guaranteed
I needed some western themed garb for a promo I was shooting. I ordered this and the Walnut Classic Canvas Duster. Together with a bandana, a hat, and a pocket watch, it transformed my actor into a genuine looking cowboy. Wouldn't have looked nearly as good without this vest! The build quality is amazing - especially the stitching - and it stands up to all-day shooting and multiple machine washes without wrinkling or pilling (did not machine dry - hung to dry). The buttons are great quality and sewn to the material well, so I'm not worried about one popping off. Even better, the buttons on the duster match the ones on this vest for a very finished look. I highly recommend this as a wardrobe item for film, video, or any other venture in which you might need western wear. Very impressed, 5 out of 5!

Would Buy Again in a Heartbeat!
This duster looks phenomenal! It washes well. It is rugged. And the price is very reasonable. I needed it for a western themed promo I was shooting. This duster stood up to multiple shooting days still looking as good as the day I unboxed it. It washed without fading and the material did not wrinkle or pill (I did hang dry instead of machine dry). The build quality is great - even the buttons are high quality and sewn on well. I highly recommend this to anyone needing wardrobe for video and film. As for others needing western wear for other ventures, this is rugged enough to stand up to just about anything you could throw at it - well maybe not a direct hit from a bull's horn, but if that happens to you, you have bigger fish to fry than a hole in your outer wear. 5 out of 5, very pleased!
