Very pleased with quality of belt and holsters! The tooling is fantastic and it makes the rig look like a million dollars! My husband looks terrific when dressed in black and his buscadaro rig ! You will see many old Hollywood movie cowboys wearing this type of holsters- usually the star!

The Newsboy cap in Gray Tweed is a Cool cap! Probably going to be too hot here in Fla. to wear Year round but it's just what I wanted. Great Service-ordered on Saturday arrived on Tuesday.

This was my first order, so I wanted to see how well the system worked. Answer: Very well. Descriptions were good, especially about warning if sizes ran small. I'm now very obviously on an email list, but the emails are not a burden. I have already seen some very attractive items that will be future purchases!

ordered a double holster gun belt and when it arrived( which was very timely) it was only a single holster gun belt. I called customer service and the women was very nice and looked at the order and saw that the wrong thing had been shipped and she got the right gun belt out to us. Belt arrived in time for my husbands match and it was perfect.

Love the holster. Best customer service EVER! My first belt didn't holt the ammo properly. I told customer service and a new one was shipped the next day. With an apology email. Phenomenal, and I've already recommended this site to multiple people.

My order shipped in an accurate and timely manner and arrived a couple days ahead of the estimated delivery date. The product I ordered was too large so I contacted customer service by email and received a very quick reply. The customer service rep explained exchanges/returns policy and how to return the garment to their warehouse. All very easy. No muss, no fuss. My fledgling indie film group will definitely be a repeat customer.

The vest was as advertised. I based my size on recommendations of other reviewers, and it fits perfect. Seems to be a quality product as other items I have purchased have been. This is the third vest I've purchased from Historical Emporium. I wear the first two frequently, but have yet to wear this last one. While it looks good in the mirror, I haven't been to a place where I've felt comfortable wearing this style as I don't have a coat to compliment it. I've not been disappointed with anything I've purchased from Historical Emporium.

Asked for manufacturer name before purchase and name given is different than manufacturer label received. Also hat is unwearable pops of the top of head in seconds, elastic band to tight.

I found your website years ago when I was looking to build a steampunk persona to go to conventions as. I was expecting cheaply made costume pieces that might look nice for a few wearings, but would ultimately fall apart. Was I ever wrong! I have been consistently impressed with the quality of apparel I've purchased from your store, and have loved being able to easily find nice looking clothes that fit my 2XL-wide keyster. I'm sorry that my budget only allows me to buy a few things a year, but every item I've bought has become a part of my daily wardrobe.

I have now had the opportunity to order from Historical Emporium three times and I have nothing but the highest praise for the company. Products I have purchased have been exactly what I wanted each time, and whenever I needed to contact the company with a question on any particular piece, response was always thorough, accurate and professional. I work as a professional tour guide and entertainer in the Baltimore/Washington, DC area, and Historical Emporium has become my immediate "go to" whenever I need to purchase or replace any of my historical gear. I am glad to know they are there, and will certainly continue to do business with them in the future.

Overall experience was great. However, help was needed with how to wear my new cloths. I have no experience wearing older style clothing. For example: Traditional neck ties are worn with the collar of the shirt turned down over the tie. Puff ties are worn with the collar left up; depending on the shirt.

The first time I tried to use the website it would not respond with an order. I tried later until I made it work. The item I bought was reasonably priced, but the shipping was way out of line for the item.

Western bow tie
The tie is adjustable at the neck which allows for a good fit. However the satin material is of poor quality and so the tie looks cheap...not worth the price because of this.

Just what I wanted
This was my first order with HE, sort of a "test balloon," and it went perfectly. The description warned that the blouses ran a bit small, so if in doubt, order up a size, and I did. Perfect fit. The event for which I need the blouse isn't until October, so I will be doing some more shopping!

Great Coat, Waist a bit small :(
So this is my second clothing purchase for my husband from Historical Emporium and, just like last time, the materials are heavy duty and solid. This is something you can wear for many years, not just on Halloween. Unfortunately, just like last time, it is a bit snug in the tummy. He has a 54" waist and I got the 3x/4x which should have worked since the size chart says it should fit chest/torso up to 58". It will button, but a few of the buttons directly on the widest part of his tummy are straining and a little uncomfortable. He will still use it, but may leave a few buttons undone for comfort. Lastly, as seems to be usual with Historical Emporium, it was a bit long. I hemmed the arms and bottom hem and it looks great now, but that is something that may need doing unless you are tall.

An excellent addition to my wardrobe
I originally found this when I was looking for some accessories to go with a hat I'd found at goodwill. Unfortunately, it wasnt as good a color match as I'd hoped, but this is not a bad thing! The vest is comfortable, lightweight, and durable enough to wear while doing blue collar work. I'm now going out and looking for shirts, ties, and other accessories to showcase my new vest. I'd particularly recommend pairing this vest with any of the canvas pants Historical Emporium sells. Even if it's a different color, the matching fabric type helps to pull the whole thing together (and the crimson of the vest is a bit saddened, so it's a decent neutral color to build a palette around).

Top Quality Gun Belt and Holster
This product is well made with great craftsmanship. The leather is top notch and well worth the price.

Vesta blouse
I love this blouse. I normally order XL and it's too tight in the middle so this time ordered the size 18 and it fit perfectly. It's a very complimentary style and I love that you can wear it out instead of tucked in. I love it so much I ordered another one in black.

Great Pants!
Great riding pants, solid, I love the suspender buttons, button up front, solid heavy fabric, well tailored for riding, plenty of crotch space.

Solid But Not Quite What I thought
These are a bit too long, especially given that these are explicitly meant to be used with high wasted pants. Additionally, the color of the leathery bits is much darker than the picture makes it seem, and I definitely would have preferred the lighter shade. That being said, these are quality suspenders. They are robustly made and I don't fear at all they they will break soon, unlike some other pairs that I have. Additionally their delivery was speedy and they do successfully hold up my pants.

Great shirt!
Bought this to pair with Historical Emporium's red and black Cavalier vest and it works perfectly. Love the shirt. Only minor critical comment is that I would have preferred a little less lace on the cuffs. However, that's just my personal opinion, and I would still give the shirt five stars. Well made and drapes well on the body. It does the job.

Absolutely Does the Job!
An incredible Regency Period style vest. Excellent quality with excellent fit. One of the most expensive I think that Historical Emporium offers, but worth the money. You get what you pay for. I work as a professional historical tour guide in the Baltimore/Washington, DC area and have already received many compliments on it during the course of my rounds. Certainly not my last purchase from Historical Emporium!

looks great!
Purchased for my son's Civil War Ball at school. Exactly what we needed and looks very dignified! (Much better than the options available to borrow from the school.) Glad we found you online!

They run large but great
Doing a 1910 feature we found these collars run large. But that’s why you have fittings. They tea dye down easily

Dad loves it!!
This was a birthday gift for my dad to use while driving his model A speedster. He loves it. He normally wears a 7 1/2 size hat and I ordered an XL and it fits great!
