I am happy with all the clothing items, they fit well, appear to be well-made and look authentic. The only item that is not suitable nor realistic are the gold frame spectacles. They are a strange shape and far too large. I wish I had bought the smaller kind.

The sleeves of the blouse were much too long and the fabric much too heavy to wear in CA. I ordered it because it was one of only a couple blouses that can be worn outside a skirt. I'll check back to see if you offer any more of these. Also, I'd like to get in a baptist, light and feminine.

I was pleased with how quickly my order got here and with the price that I paid. I don't have time to sew it so getting the apron online was the best option for me. I had it in plenty of time for the event that I needed at for. Thank you for your speedy service!

I was happy to discover you are a short drive from me so dropping in to pick up in order to save on shipping makes me happy. The on site team was extremely accommodating to pulling the product from the warehouse and scheduling my visit. The quality of what I purchased and what I saw in the waiting room is superb. Color combinations, material, cut, and style are excellent; more actual garments, less costume - nothing like I've found in any other 'costume' supplier. I will return and recommend!

I have purchased many items from Historic Emporium and have always been satisfied with quality and delivery time of purchases. Items purchased have been for my husband and costuming of period Indie films. The clothing I have purchased have always been true to sizes and a perfect fit. I will continue to use Historic Emporium and recommend this company highly.

The clothing here at historical emporium is very nice quality as I buy the made in USA ones. The price can be a little pricey, but you get what you pay for! I do wish that more of the pants were made in the USA as the quality is superb on those!

Fantastic quality product! Looks beautiful, feels great and fits really well. The customer service I received from Janine (I think that was her name) helped me pick the right size. Strongly recommend any leather product from Historical Emporium.

Colors
Great shirt. Very good material. Authentic looking. It looks even better after I ironed it using Magic Sizing (don't like starch) of the Extra Crisp type, in the green can. The material takes to the iron well, easy to iron. The sizes run a little big. I am a 16 1/2 - 32/33. I picked the 16 - 16 1/2. If I loose some weight, I will have to have them taken in on the sides. Sleeves a little long too. But, they are great looking. My wife complimented me when I tried one of the two on. Great quality. I will be taking them to my vacation on a horse ranch soon. Will inform after I come back. My reason for giving it a 4 stars rather than 5 is because the colors are a bit darker than in the pictures. The navy blue looks almost black, even under the sun. The burgundy one is darker than what you see here. But that is no reason not to buy them. Really looking forward to wearing them soon.

Pleasantly surprised!
I needed Victorian style boots for a music video shoot and was told about this site by my fellow actresses. They recommend I order a size up and wear thick socks for all day filming, so that's what I did. I simply cannot express my appreciation for the amazing fit and comfort! This is the first time I have come away from an all day shoot without soreness... and we were DANCING in this one! So, I am also an "extras casting director" and do many westerns. I am highly recommending Historical Emporium to all of my extras as well as main cast members. Who knew that you didn't have to pay $150-$200 to get the look??? These boots were a steal at UNDER $50! So pleasantly surprised! Thank you!!!

Gosh darn
I really wanted to love the riding pants. The fabric and workmanship was very good however the zipper was defective (the zipper pull slid down on its own). I sent it back noting the problem. And since the waist was a bit snug I could not ask for an exchange for a larger size - they were sold out). The refund of the pants was very prompt (but only was for the price of the pants and not for the shipping even tho the zipper was defective). These do run small in the waist - you will probably need to order at least 2 sizes larger since the waistband rides high. If these riding pants are offered in the future - with a full set sizes available I would like to order them in this denim fabric.

accurate sizing
I do like this blouse, I just wish it had more room in the waist. I like it so much, though that I am taking it to a tailor to add some to it. I would say, though, that the measurements were accurate on the sizing chart. Too bad they don't do personalized sizing as I am not a standard fit.

I was hesitant in ordering these online. But I am so happy with the product. The material is absolutely wonderful. We ordered one size larger and the fit was perfect. Will definitely be shopping at your online store again.

Excellent
I scoured the web and known hat suppliers but was only able to find a 'white' top hat that was a costume piece, take over a month to ship or require custom ordering. HE had what I needed in stock and after wearing it, is certainly the quality I had hoped for.

Excellent!
Everything a casual-wear fez should be...and also perfect for more dressy occasions, very presentable whatever the occasion. If the Ottoman Empire revives I am ready...and you can be too! High-grade felt and classic shape, color is grand and subtly majestic. The price is very low for this fine headgear!

Nice blouse
This is my second blouse and I like it but I have to again alter collar as it’s just too tall and uncomfortable to wear as is. I love the sleeves and I probably won’t add the darts like I did on my previous purchase. All in all it is a good quality item and very versatile.

Awesome Vest
Purchased this for a party and it came within a week. Great materiel and cut. I bought it big because other vests I have purchased came small. This one was exactly what they said it was going to be. Materiel was great and cut was professional. Vest can be used for multiple purposes, not just as a period costume. I highly recommend this company and will definitely use them again.

It’s a beautiful wool hat. It’s well made and the perfect fit. It’s looks way better then the picture on line. I’d buy from you again. This was a gift. The person really liked the hat. The quality and excellent fit. Also the ability to adjust the head band on the inside.

Cameo pin
This is the most beautiful cameo pin I have seen. I purchased four of them. One for myself, three for my best girlfriends. This pin can Be worn as a pin or a necklace. It has arorialis Borealis stones That surround on the outside of the pin and has Sworowski crystals on the inside that surround the beautiful cameo. An absolutely gorgeous pin. SheilaW

Pricey for what it is
This bow tie was very expensive for what it is (the shipping too), and it's just cheap satin which doesn't look very historical. It will do the job but I'm a bit disappointed.

Mar 7, 2019
Good Quality but sizing is off
The fabric and construction is good quality, but of the 4 skirts I ordered, 3 had to have the center back panel completely removed to fit properly at the waist. These definitely run a bit big.
