Ordered a coat and two vest which arrived in two shipments. I was interested in how these vest would go with the coat. Access to fabric swatches would have been helpful and saved some shipping cost when one of the vests was returned. Having the ability to magnify the fabric pattern online may have helped. John

Holy moley I was impressed with these clothes! I ordered them for a cosplay and expected them to be uncomfortable. Boy was I wrong! They are SO COMFORTABLE!!! Not only that, but they are very high quality and well made. The pieces are a little pricey, but they are worth it for the quality and durability for sure! I could not be more pleased with the pieces I ordered and with the excellent customer service I received when I had questions about some of the clothes and later when I needed to return some of them for not fitting quite right. All around excellence, and I highly recommend!

My package was never delivered. I contacted customer service and they sent me a replacement, without hassle, and right away. It arrived and it is beautiful. I sew too and I think this garment is made to last.

I bought your detachable shirt collars last year. I was very pleased with the product. The fabric was a heavy weight and the interfacing kept the collar stiff. The collars I purchased this year are made with a light weight poly-cotton with little or no interfacing.

I purchased several items. With the exception of one being flimsy quality and it broke after trying to affix it to my hat. All of the other items are of a decent quality, especially the smoking jacket being of a much higher quality.

My shopping experience was Fantastic! The fit, color and quality is amazing BUT the amount of compliments was awesome. Everywhere I went someone had something great to say about my vest. I currently own 10 vests in a variety of colors for mixing and matching. LOOKING GOOD is all I hear.

We were satisfied with the on-line experience and with delivery and return process. However, the vest my husband ordered did not fit him well, and he did not think it would fit any better in a different size.

The helmet I ordered was a flimsy piece of junk and not worth the money I paid for it. Obviously the presentation of this item was misleading. I am very disappointed.

great quality
The fit is perfect, the look is exactly what I needed to dress up an outfit I bought earlier. The quality of your items is remarkable!

Comfy, stylish, a bit fiddly to apply, but worth it!
As it says: these shoes are comfortable (bought an M for a foot that typically wears a US 9.5 European 43; felt a bit big but still worked great!) and look amazing. Material is good quality, and they have been successfully worn for multiple full days of walking around in costume. Gaiters are a bit fiddly to apply (required a helper), but that's just how gaiters go. Great value; would recommend.

Great trousers
These are very accurate reproduction trousers from the 20's and 30's. Real fabric! They do, however, need to be hemmed up as any fine pair of pants would be. So you will need a seamstress. I love how authentic the costumes are from Historical Emporium

Great cap
This is a nice high quality fabric cap, and is very like a cap like this would have been back in the 20's and 30's. I love the quality of the historical emporium products.

Excellent Jacket
The quality of this far exceeded what I was expecting for the price. The fit was slightly off but the return was accepted without issue and a better fitting size was sent, even though it was my lack of measuring skills causing the mix up. Great jacket I wear often while leading guided History Tours and it lends an incredible look to what I am doing, leading to many compliments. Excellent customer service as well.

Beautiful!
Gorgeous vest with a rich color and the back in a flat black rather than shiny satin fabric so it complements but does not compete with the Burgundy front. Soft to the touch. Very classy. Fits well with both vintage styling and modern use. Totally happy with it!

Sent it back
My husband was pleased with the look of the vest when it arrived, but it did not fit his pear-shaped body. However, we were pleased with the speed of the original mailing and the efficiency with which the return was handled.

Tasteful and understated
Depending on the color you choose, this vest can grab attention or remain discreet. I bought the plum version to do the former and this brown version to do the latter. But whichever you choose, be prepared for others to comment on it. Although the velvet material has a diagonal quilted pattern, the material is not unusually thick. The velvet glistens very slightly, and the pattern seems to have been created not by stitching, but by a heat-pressure process that has melted the nap; or maybe it's a glue overlay. The overall effect is rich and subtle; rather like a smoking vest (if there were such a thing). The pattern is small and well matched in seams and across the button front. It seems well made .
