I liked the workmanship of my dress. It was to long so I needed to have it altered. Other than that I loved every thing! I did wish I had an option of long sleeves. Also I wish the jacket came in other colors.

Appreciate that you're company guidelines have a check and balance protocol to confirm the legitimacy of the order, payment method and card holder through a verification process. Thank you. The team member I spoke with on the photo was polite and courteous.

I was totally amazed at the speed my items have been delivered. Due to special needs and separate boxes, I was prepared to wait for 3-4 weeks. Every order has come in less than 10 days. Even the ones that say, "special order, may take 7-10 days more". Every item has been delivered nicely boxed, especially the hooped slip. Amazing!

I'm really pleased with the quality and service I've received from this company. I've bought two things recently so far - a leather hip pack and a cameo necklace. Both are VERY nice quality and the prices are reasonable for what you get. (In comparison I've bought two things online from China recently and they were terrible quality, not as described and the customer service ranged from poor to abysmal. Looks like I'll be doing more shopping here in the future!). The website has a nice selection of items and from my reading and from seeing photos from the actual time period, the items look very historically accurate. Very pleased with the company overall.

I purchased a Gibson Girl blouse, black velvet belt and Victorian Ladies Hat. The blouse is well made and very comfortable. The belt is labeled narrow, but is actually wider than I planned. The hat I returned because it was small for my head. I should have paid attention to the reviews.

Excellent customer service,looking forword to using this product. The hammer strap is very tight making that adjustment some what difficult. I am satisfied with this product and other companies could learn a lot from you if they are interested in customer satisfaction.

It was an absolutely beautiful blouse and I was heartbroken I had to return it but it was too tight across the chest. I am heavy busted and a larger size would not surfice. I will try another item in the near future. Everyone was extremely helpful and courteous.

Augusta Outing Jacket
I do love the jacket it is very stylist. The only thing should be revealed are the button loops. They are elastic and very hard to put around the buttons. The loops should be of substantial material so the loops will not break. I am putting it on and taking it off over my head.

Classic Gibson - White
I love the style of the Gibson blouse, however, I returned it. I purchased two different styles of blouses and returned this one. I usually wear a "small" size. I ordered both blouses in the size "medium". For me, the neckline and cuffs on the Gibson blouse were too tight. I would recommend ordering one size larger. The fabric on the Gibson Blouse was a lighter weight than I expected. I kept the other blouse and enjoy wearing it. Historical Emporium accepted my return of the Gibson Blouse. I will be ordering from them again.

Jennie Blouse-White on White
I love the subtle paisley, white on white. I will wear this for western presentations and for daily outings, because it is a versatile garment.

Nice Scabbard!
Excellent quality and design. The only thing missing is a shoulder strap or attachment rings to add one.

steampunk
Vest was a little snug..... should have ordered the next size up. But it still looks AWESOME!!!! Love the way it looks... especially over a black shirt. Had to call customer service cause the pockets were 3/4 sewn up... did not know the maker did that for shipping purpose and they told me just to snip the thread.... and behold a full pocket.

Very nice necklace
This is a nice quality product. The material is good - the lace on the neckband is not frayed or anything, the metal parts and clasp seem strong and work fine. The cameo is very pretty and nicely detailed. Even a friend who has "real" cameos and many jewelry pieces with genuine stones, etc. commented that it was a nice necklace. I'm very pleased with the quality especially for the price. It's for a cosplay but I will probably be wearing it sometimes with "regular" clothes because it's so pretty.

Nice Hat
Because it's not where you're from it's where your hat. Seriously, I really like this hat. Was afraid it would not fit right but was not disappointed.

Brown tooled belt info
I purchased the RT draw tooled brown tooled holster in 38 caliber and the size 42 The belt was stamped 38 357. And at first i did not see the 42. So I thought i received a 357 cal holster on a size 38 belt. So I thrown the contents of my refrigerator out to shrink down. Because i had bought a 22 caliber duel holster black smooth size 42 for Christmas. i had to wear it on the very first hole to keep it snug. So i started eating to move the buckle to the next hole. Like Goldy locks now both fit just right. Well the tooled 38 size fits great just right. Two bullet loops are overly loose and bullets push out very easy but do NOT fall through during rapid movement.I purchased this one on sale too I gave this a 5 star because 10 was not an option. I am well pleased with purchases. Pardon me please if this item is red i am severely color blind. Good job well done to the artist at the leathery.

This completes my outfit for a 1906 costume to celebrate the above titled events. I am a relative of Lillie Coit (Coit Tower, Telegraph Hill) and this year I wanted to dress in period costume. This completes the look and I love it.

Top Quality
This is a top-quality beautifully-crafted holster. You will not find one anywhere that's even comprable to the quality of this holster for the same money.

Quality!
I was pleasantly surprised at the fine quality of the jacket. As a seamstress, I typically make all of my costumes. However, I ran out of time and ordered this jacket in a pinch. When it arrived via mail quite quickly, I saw what excellent craftsmanship went into it. The material was of super high quality and the cut of the jacket was exactly what I was looking for - historically accurate! Thank you for providing such a fine product and a beautiful jacket!
