I ended up needing to exchange a size and the customer service was extremely quick and easy. A form is available to do this process on their website. My questions were responded to right away and the turn around time to have my item exchanged was very fast. Will definitely be purchasing from them again.

I purchased a black Homburg hat. It arrived quickly, was the correct size and the quality exceeded what I was expecting. It was easy to order and your site is very user friendly.

I ordered the hat for my father. We looked on many different websites & this brown Wool Newsboy Cap was the Only one he wanted. It arrived 1 day earlier that I had been told. I was worried when dad picked out what type of hat he wanted, that he would really like it. Dad absolutely loves it! And it looks great on him! Thanks for making this purchase so easy & great!

Courteous and timely service. Did not receive any extra hat felt for sizing/fit as I was told I would receive. Great hat. Arrived very quickly.

I purchased a gun belt for a Christmas present and ordered the wrong size. I knew I couldn't get it exchanged in time for Christmas so I called customer service. They were sooo helpful and courteous and allowed me to wait til after Christmas to exchange it. Within a week of sending it back, I had the new one and am really pleased with the quality of the product! Definitely will do business with them again!

I especially like that I can email a question directly from the product page, asking questions that help me decide about a purchase. Responses are quick and very clarifying. You're the only ones providing that customer service. Nice Job! Great website. Very user friendly and provides multiple views so as to give a better overall sense of how it actually looks. You're the only one's doing that as well. Makes a real difference.

Purchased a pair of boots as my western boots just didn't look right for Santa, even here in western Nebraska, and I sure didn't like the cheap plastic covers that came with the outfit. I got the next size larger, a 9 instead of my usual 8 1/2. I tried thicker socks, but inserts seem to work better for me. I'm getting them broken in for next December.

Great place Great products....

All of the products I have ordered from Historical Emporium have been beyond my personal expectations of quality and durability. But, what is amazing is I receive my online order a day and a half later! Maybe that is due to being only an hour and a half south of the facility here in California. Regardless, I have always received my orders faster then I expect.

My left handed .45 belt fits excellent but i wonder why there are only 9 cartridge loops, im sending it to my local tack shop for at minimum 1 loop as i carry 5 in the chamber daily. Other than that everything was excellent!! I just wish i had known there were 9 loops and an option for more would have been nice

My experience with Historical Emporium has been extremely positive. To date (January 2019), I have purchased two pairs of trousers, two frock coats, four vests, and one pair of slippers from Historical Emporium. The service has been exceptional, and I have been very pleased with my purchases. Measurements given on the website are accurate, or slightly on the conservative side - but only slightly. The fabrics are frankly better than might be expected, and the colors on everything I've purchased are handsome and tasteful. The garments and slippers each arrived sooner than I expected them, and all were packaged professionally. It has been a pleasure to do business with Historical Emporium. Hopefully, there'll be future opportunities to purchase from them again! Charles Edward Lee Elder Lee of Roscoe, Lee & Abadie Music of the Old South Party like it's 1859!

Was very surprised that items arrived all in one shipped package and all belt and holster is beyond what I expected as real quality workmanship, color and sized was right on for fit as suggested. My .22 cal. 6 shot sits very well in holster as well. Will look to

Fair price, excellent help from your order desk. Gauntlets are ok. Nothing great. Better than some. A step above costume wear. I kept them but went online to a store in Gloversville, NY and bought a premium pair of DEERSKIN gauntlets for $40.50. Yours are $70.00. So, I will keep yours in a shelf and probably never wear them.

I bought two petticoats for a show- always a great price considering what it would cost me to make myself. I ended up not needing one of them, and shipped it back around Christmas, assuming it would be a long wait until all the holidays were over to get the return credit. Very surprised and happy to find out credit was issued extremely promptly. Thanks so much!

Every day wear
Love this vest. Very unique style. High quality material and great for every day wear. Also a great price compared to many “similar” vests. This does fit a little shorter on me than pictured, but it’s a great looking vest.

Excellent quality
LOVE this dress. Personally this is something that I will be able to wear all the time. The quality is excellent. This is not like a costume at all, but is a great dress. For me this fit true to what my size normally is. I originally sized up using the measurements but then needed to exchange for my usual size. Exchanging was quick and easy.

Well-made, ran large
I'm fairly sure that I took my measurements correctly, but the Medium seemed too large (I have a 7-1/8 hat that fits me well, and several hats in Medium that fit me well by different manufacturers). I know the style is supposed to be baggy, but I thought I had about a centimeter or so of give, and the brim was noticeably wide my face. I might have asked to exchange it for a small, but I feared the small might be too small, and the brown tweed wasn't quite what I wanted when I saw it real life. The picture is pretty accurate, but the weave has specks of turquoise in it, which I just didn't think looked right. HOWEVER: If it fits you and you like the look of the weave, it's a VERY nicely made hat. I order from Historical Emporium because I like styles that society has unwisely decided to abandon, not because I like to wear costumes, and Historical Emporium sells real clothes in these styles. This is one of them.

Victorian High button shoes
WE are using these for our production of Mary Poppins for all of the lead ladies. I was concerned about sizing and comfort. The ladies are now rehearsing in their shoes and we have had no problems.They do have to have high socks on with these as the girls are not used to having anything around their ankles. One of my girls does have a bigger ankle and cannot lace it up all of the way. We may have to use black elastic.

White Victorian Boot
We are using these for a musical theatre stage play of Mary Poppins for the Jolly Holiday song to be worn with the white and red dress. I was concerned about the sizing but both of my Mary's say they are comfortable. They have been wearing them for rehearsals. They do require socks especially since these shoes being worn for dancing.

Christmas boots
Just what I was looking for. Not as tall as some of your other offerings. Just the right size. Much better than the plastic covers that came with my St. Nicholas outfit. My western boots just didn't look right, even here in western Nebraska.

Elegance for 1830 & 1863
I ordered this piece to hold my cravat during my living history programs, as I had lost my Great Grandfather's pin at one of my Civil War reenactments. This new one is not of the same design for "pinning"; but, it sure is a lot more secure. I was amazed at how stunningly beautiful the piece is and I have had many compliments about my appearance while wearing it. It is quite the attention getter.

A Fine, Handsome Frock Coat
The Gillespie Brushed Cotton Frock Coat that I ordered is a handsome, manly, well constructed burgundy frock coat that is attractive and fits well. The color is striking, though not quite as bright a burgundy as seen on the website. Darker by two shades than the website image, the color is rich and eye-catching. The fabric is heavy, and feels as though it will be warm and durable. I’m proud to add it to my wardrobe of period attire.

Too much work to wear this coat
I bought this Xmas gift for my husband thinking it was like the old LL Bean duster coats. Unfortunately it wasn't at all like those coats. There were about 12 buttons to button to put this on - really impractical. The fabric may have been as described but this was not going to work for my husband.

olive herringbone vest
Superb product. Well made of good material and fits live a glove.I will order again from Historical Emporium! I am not a small man and due to my size the vest was a special order. However, it arrived well before the estimated delivery date. I am very please with quality, price, and fit. in addition, I get many comments on how natty the vest looks on me!

I needed a proper walking stick and this one is spot on. Solid and well made, and the price is reasonable. Most useful for fending off dogs and ruffians on my daily walk.

I've always been very pleased with the quality and price of these petticoats. I am a costume designer, and the first set I bought years ago are still in terrific shape after repeated washing.

Slouch hat
Best fitting cowboy hat I've ever had. It is soft and fits my head well (not like those starched cowboy hats that feel like bricks on your head). I'm hoping you get a white or tan one some day.

Bonaventure Vest
Beautiful color and very nice fabric. It does seem to run a little large, but it's definitely worth the price.
