I've shopped once before with you guys and had no issues bc I bought a gift certificate. This time around I purchased a vest and the experience was awful. The only reason I bought a vest on your site it's bc my boyfriend is a historian and uses your site constantly to get his clothes. He loves your stuff! For xmas I ordered this vest and the colour online and the one we got didn't seem the same. First of all it said it was grey but against grey clothes it looks brown so I inquired about returning it and was told I had to pay for shipping it back which cost me $25 CAD (after having paid $35 USD to have it shipped the first time which I think it's ridiculously high). Now I received an e-mail telling me I have to pay $35USD again for the new vest I'm exchanging it for. You guys should consider a better service for returns/exchanges. Most companies want the client to continue shopping with them and don't charge a shipping fee on exchanges and offer free returns. So far for this one vest I ordered at xmas, I've had to pay close $120 CAD in shipping. It's the most expensive vest I've ever bought. I find this poor customer service and I will never shop at your store again.

Delivery time, shocking...fast. Item selection decent. Quality excellent. Product diversification fair. Didn't find what I was searching for, but what is available is stylish. Was looking for more work related of a "common everyday" line. More common full button plain work shirts of a "homespun concept" related to the trades v. Professional business attire/dress/fancy look. Was looking for pants that are closely related to periods, but lighter weight that can be worn today in hot climates when re casually shooting SASS. Was looking for products that relate to blacksmith's, farmers, mule skinners, stable hands, carpenter's, dock worker's, and the like. You have some, but the products are more closely related to other occupations. The selection is expanding, more stuff is available now than previously, so perhaps it'll continue to diversify. Prices are scary and make me look for other options. If I can find items, I will buy elsewhere, but when I can't, and you have it, I'll sometimes bite the bullet and pay your prices. What I get from you is good, and quick, but in my humble opinion, not quite worth what you charge. I can often get 3 shirts for $65, that are of same quality, and sometimes, better, I.e. Buttons that are true deer horn. Likely you won't like my review, but you insisted and persisted so, here's what you get. If you don't want it, don't ask. I'll buy again, when it's appropriate, and I'll refer people occasionally. So overall the critique is critical but favorable.

I was a bit late with my order and contacted the costumer service to ask if it would be possible to ship out my order as fast as possible. I got a response immediately and the order was processed the very day and I received everything on time! So very happy with both the customer service as well as with the received goods!

Super fast shipping arrived before promised. Overall very good quality. Fit with pants ran a bit small and the return process is fairly straightforward and I was refunded promptly.

Only problem is with size, but it was taken care of, Items made in China are sized smaller that we are here in America, but exchange was fast and I also ordered another item when was perfect. Thanks for being there, when needed. great products and prices, except for you "CANES", LOL, how ever you did give me some ideas and I still had to go to Amazon to find what I wanted

The shirt were too big and it was the right size and the prices were high but I needed the items for a special event! I were disappointed in the fitting of the shirt.

this is my second vest,(for me its got to be machine washable) and was delighted to see that a inside pocket was added since my first purchase. the size is perfect for me as it is loose enough for cold weather layering. very classy. lots of "where'd you get that!" very timely delivery at the worse time of year! (the week of Christmas)

Boilerman Cap
I wanted a cap to wear that was appropriate for my 1939 Plymouth Business Coupe at car shows. This fit the bill perfectly. The cap arrived in a few days and was high quality and as described on the site. I really like the way it looks and feels when I wear it, like going back in time when I drive my car.

Perfect fit!
Perfect fit for my husband. Ordered by measurement, yay! Material not as stiff as expected though, was very comfortable and looked great with his vest!

Pinstripe blouse
Love the fit! This blouse was perfect for my event. I ordered a large and to my surprise, no gap at buttons. Make sure to order by bust inches and not typical size. Excellent fit! I received within 5 days of ordering with standard shipping!

Not a Grey Vest
Vest looks grey online but in person it's brown. I put it against grey clothes and it is not grey.

Good Experience
This was my first purchase from the Historical Emporium, and it was a good experience. The coat arrived within a few days of placing the order, faster than I had expected. It is hard to find this style of coat anymore, measuring 51 inches from collar to hem, a very formal appearance. The coat itself is very sharp, elegant and rich looking; I especially love the velvet collar. It's a wool overcoat with a silky interior lining, and as such it is not extremely warm, but adequate for the type of coat it is. The sizing was perfect. I normally wear a 48L in suits, but I ordered this in a 46R and couldn't ask for a better fit. I ordered it a size smaller taking their recommendation to order a size smaller since I'm not wearing a suit jacket under the coat. My experience with this product and transaction was such that I will look to Historical Emporium again when I need speciality clothing.

Exactly What I Wanted
The size chart is accurate, and the vest is precisely as pictured. I was actually worried about the backing fabric being too different from the black front and not going with all of my shirts, but the backing turned out to be solid black as well, which was ideal for my purposes. 10/10 will be ordering again!

Holster Belt Fit
Hello...let me begin by saying your gun belts and holsters are very well built, for the most part, could do a little better in the holed strap as it seems too thin and will not last very long.There seems to be issues with the sizes. I originally ordered a size 36 which once trying on, barely fit. Being a size 32 waist, I measured accordingly with a soft meassuring tape to conclude that the sugested size from your site should be 3 sizes larger. In one online feed back a gentleman said that he was a size 33/34, ordered a size 40 and it fit him well. I figured that was my waist size so i followed suit. Upon recieving the size 40, it was incredibly over sized. Then figuring, okay, i must be the Goldie Locks guy and the true size should infact be 38. Nope, still too big. Cant even secure the last hole in the belt. Rather than sending it back for a third time, i will hunt down a place that makes leather goods and have this custom sized. This will probably cost me several hundred dollars to do but i cant seem to win on this repeated resizeing issue. There really should be an easier way to find your size and should offer inbetween sizes like a 37, which i suspect will fit.

Ivy cap-great value
Great looking headgear, it's an actual Stetson. Fit was as promised, bought one for myself and a friend, he loves it. I plan on using it as a 'driving' cap, should do the job.

Great shoe
Was more than happy when the shoes arrived. They are an awesome addition to my Victorian suit. Look great and they fit perfect. The faux buttons and buttonholes make them look very authentic.

Plain brown leather .22 cal western gun belt and holster - LH draw
Was surprised by the extremely fast delivery. Even more surprised by the quality for the price. Using the measurement guidelines, the fit was perfect. And as advertised, the holster was able to be shaped to fit my Heritage .22LR Rough Rider pistol to my liking. Overall, a great experience.
