I really can't answer about the quality since it is for my son and he hasn't gotten them yet to see how well they hold up.

Found what we were looking for and followed the sizing guidelines- all worked perfectly. Material and vests were very nice and good quality. Orders came within the time frame given. Ordered many for a large wedding. They were a big hit. Will be able to wear again and again. Great look!

Love the product. Like any garment, size can vary not only on the garment...but also on me. The jacket is beautiful but I'm going to have to lose a few pounds before I'll be able to button it. You might want to order up one size if you think you're on the "bubble."

We have purchased many items both women's and men's from Historical Emporium over the years. Any time we've contacted customer service they have been professional, helpful and knowledgeable! So rare in today's world!

Ordering was easy. Delivery was faster than estimated. The tooled gun belt was nicely done but the .22 cartridge loops were a little tight for LR ammo and very tight for WMR ammo. Hoping they will loosen over time with some use. holster fit my 5.5 inch Ruger nicely.

Clothes are great. Just what I was looking for. The only issue was you are out of my size for one item but I was told I would be notified when stock came in. So I was happy about that. I returned my items today. It would be nice if you would include return labels with orders like other companies. Otherwise no complaints!

I am a harpist and needed boots for a performance in historic garb that was just a week away. The heel broke off my old boots during the costume try on. I called and talked with a very pleasant young lady who then went out of her way to help expedite the order so that it was shipped out that day. I received my boots in plenty of time and am very happy with them. They look the part, they fit and are comfortable to wear. I just did not expect it to go so smoothly. It is rare these days to have such good service done with kindness on the phone and to have the product be exactly what you need it to be. The experience put you at the top of my list and I will definitely be bringing my business to you in the future. Thank you to the kind young lady, I wish I could remember her name so she could be recognized, and thank you to your company!

I wear the clothes I buy from Historical Emporium daily. As a Horseman/cowboy, and Outdoorsman/Mountainman, I make many of my own clothes and gear, but when I buy clothes irs from you guys. The quality is over the top, the choices are many, the era designs are on the money. I retired from the Military after 30+ years as an Army Ranger, and USMC Reconnaissance & Surveillance, Scout/Sniper, and Marine SpecOps Unit Team Chief. After Combat on four Continents, many wounds, and becoming an Internationally recognized Operator, I retired as the only Master Sniper of the USMC/SOD/NATO. My 'Story' or Intellectual Property is worth a lot of money and I've been pursued by Random House, MGM/Paramount, and even NetFlix, to tell it, as it would be the most comprehensive narrative about Sniping and Special Operations ever written. I have avoided this fo 17 years now as the 'Real Warriors' don't do those things for money, nor do we give away trade secrets to potential terrorists, just to be rich or famous. That being said, I stay way out of the lime light and live much as my recent ancestors did in the 16-1800's here in this Country. I am keeping a code most people will never hear of and about 99.9% would understand...especially these days. I love your stuff man, and I wear it unless I'm in the heavy bush hunting, trapping, tracking, fishing, etc... Like my garrison Clothes and my leather or 'buckskins' are my field uniform. Keep up the good work! Respectfully, Neil K Morris MSgt USMC (Ret) Master Sniper USMC/DOD/NATO

Klondike Vest Burgandy
I love the feel of the silk fabric and it fits so swell. The buttons are all covered with rich distinction of supine appointment. I wore the vest to a Christmas party and really felt as if I ascended into another relm. Compliments galore. It really has a rich wine burgandy color that shines taste. I will be looking for more items like the jacket in the future.

Montgomery Vest and 2 Ties Set
Vests were very stylish. Nice fit and the extra tie and bow tie were fun to change the look. Vest is a universal. dress up style that can be worn over and over. Had a large wedding party purchase, they were a big hit.

Inverness Coat
This is a fleece type material that looks and feels like wool. It is surprisingly heavy and drapes well. It fits my 6" tall 140 lb son perfectly. It is not lined and could use another button or two, but is a great coat for the price. With his Dickens hat and red scarf, he looks just like a character out of a Christmas Carol.

Beautiful
I bought this (and many other items from Historical Emporium) to create a more authentic Victorian Christmas caroling costume for our professional ensemble. The jacket is soft and comfortable, and gets all sorts of compliments. It's warm without being too hot. That's big because we perform both inside and outside throughout December. The coat provides a nice look that keeps me warm when outdoors, but not too hot when we come inside. I do wish that there were pockets on the inside for me to put things, but this is not by any means an indication that I am unhappy with the tailcoat. I'll just have someone add a pocket deep inside so I have someplace to put my keys, phone, etc. since the front button Victorian style pants I purchased also don't have any pockets. I highly recommend this tailcoat.

A vest to impress
I almost didn't order this, but I'm glad I did. The pattern is unusual without being ostentatious and will help you stand out in a crowd. The fabric is a bit hefty but soft, which makes it a good choice in cooler environments. It's also luxurious-looking, and as far as I can tell it equals or surpasses the quality of more expensive vests by big-name designers. My vest's pattern is well matched both horizontally and vertically, which often isn't the case with other vests I've seen. I consider this one of my better purchases, and it's well worth the price.

I love this tie! It is so eye catching! I bought it to match the black and gold dress my wife bought for her company dinner. This thing is great! Thanks for the great tie at an even greater price!

An attractive workhorse vest
This is the third Sand Mountain vest I've bought, and like the others it's a workhorse item that nevertheless manages to look good. The color is bright, but not gaudy; and I find that it works well at formal or casual events. The vest seems to be constructed for durability; and although the fit is a bit tight, the garment can stretch a bit to accommodate a beefier shirt or (ahem!) a large meal. If you value versatile items, I believe that this would be a good basic purchase.

Subtle, tasteful and versatile
This vest is well constructed, and I'm pleased with the length and the fit. The smoky sage color is exactly what I wanted. The material is thinner than I expected, making this wearable in all seasons; and because the threads in the material are so narrow the pattern is very subtle. Despite this, the vest is unusual enough to get you noticed. However, I do have an issue. Although the vest's horizontal pattern is well matched, the vertical pattern isn't where the vest is buttoned. This produced an unusually wide vertical stripe in a very noticeable spot. Had the pattern been more obvious, I might have returned the vest. I consider pattern matching to be an indication of quality. Overall, however, this is a fine product.

Regency Fall Front Trousers-Tan
Are your pants sizes generally tight? I'm a 34" waist (really), and I ordered a 34" waist. They're a little tight, but I didn't exchange them for a 36" because that would be too big.

it's a hit
I ordered this for my son who was in a school play that required Edwardian costuming. The shirt was very authentic and looked fantastic with the rest of the outfit that was also ordered from Historical Emporium.

Beautiful skirt!
This skirt is incredibly well made. Beautiful, quality material & reinforced seams. The waist has buttons so you can adjust the size. it is LONG so I need to adjust the hem for myself. Can't wait to wear it to the Dickens Faire next weekend!

Good trousers
Overall, just as described. Trousers fit well, and are comfortable. Only negative comment, minor issue where the stitching attached the front fly to the legs. Just unbuttoning the fly and the stitching ripped, can repair by hand, but seemed like the stitching wasn't very substantial from the factory.

Fedora Black
The Fedora seemed to take an extraordinarily long ship time from order to arrival. The hat appears to be very good quality but even after measuring my head per instructions, the XL size I ordered was too large so I added some thin cloth material to the inside liner and I think I can live with that. I sense the Large size hat may be too small. I may consider an additional brown Fedora in the future.

Excellent quality
I am a plus sized person, so finding clothes, especially historical looking clothes for me is not easy. I ordered 2 of these blouses, one for me and one for my sister. They were EXCELLENT. They fit, they were comfortable, they looked period...it was great! If I could, I would post a picture of myself and my sister in them...but you can just imagine. We dressed as Gibson Girls. Everyone loved our outfits!
