I Ordered a Huck Finn/Tom Sawyer type of hat and a US Marshall badge. Both look very real and authentic. The service was good, the delivery quick, and the items received were of good quality. I would definitely shop with your company again!

Functional and Good-Looking
I was surprised at the price of sleeve garters as a whole, but considering their quality, I have no complaints. They look cool and pair well with the Virgil shirt and have multiple applications as far as types of outfits. The stitching is high-quality and don't feel like they'll ever fall apart. Definitely a worthwhile purchase.

Cool Looking Vest
This vest looks cool and brings the whole carnival barker outfit together. The pockets are nice and big but I did have a few niggling problems. The button holes had a lot of loose threads, but nothing a lighter can't fix, and the second is that the buttons don't feel like they're attached very well but they didn't come off while wearing it so perhaps that's just my own paranoia speaking. Despite those small issues, the vest overall is very nice and looks cool. Would definitely buy again.

Nice Suspenders
Let me caveat this by saying this is my first ever set of suspenders. And I must say, I quite like them. They're adjustable and the elastic straps allow for some literal wiggle room. When paired with pants that also have buttons for suspenders, it's a winning combo.

Nice, and Surprisingly Comfortable
What can be said about the functional simplicity of a white button up shirt, especially for period-accurate costumes? The shirt is high quality, the fit is nice as long as you take the time to take your measurements and order the appropriate size, and what was perhaps the most surprising aspect of this shirt: it's extremely comfortable. The shirt is 100% cotton and feels very, VERY, nice on the skin and is very breathable. Pairs well with sleeve garters and bowties as well. Overall, great!

Simple and Effective
There's not a whole lot to say for a "fake" bowtie. It looks convincing, which is the most important thing, and is easy to adjust and wear. What more would you need? It looks nice, is easy to work with, and works with many outfits.

High Quality and Cool Aesthetic
A cane befitting of a carnival barker indeed. This cane is very high quality and the rubber safety tip is a nice touch (won't mark up floors). The cane itself is sturdy and could be used as an actual cane, albeit a really cool looking one. The bamboo aesthetic is AMAZING along with the fit and finish of the cane as well. Overall, definitely worth a purchase if you're looking for this type of cane to go with your outfit.

An Authentic Hat Big Enough for My Large Head
The high price caught me off guard at first, but once I actually received the hat and got to take a look at it, I realized that its price is justified. Handmade and feels as authentic as can be for a panama hat, I was most pleased that a hat, for once, wasn't too small or constrictive for my otherwise large head. As a matter of fact, the hat is just barely slightly large, which I'm 100% okay with after a lifetime of small hats. It works well not just as an authentic period piece, it can also work as other costumes such as a CIA agent in Cuba if you so choose (as a humorous example). In short, a high-quality, handmade hat that can accommodate large heads (as long as you order the correct size).

Classic Canvas Indeed
I made the mistake of ordering a slightly smaller size, but that's on me, not on the pants or on the store. That being said, these feel like high-quality canvas pants. Like most other canvas clothing, it feels very, VERY, tough, and is typically stiff which is normal for canvas. I was surprised that the top button also had an extra button in the waist and there's also buttons for suspenders which is a really nice touch. Overall very nice pants.

Wonderful Vest
I ordered this green vest as a "Santa Vest". I didn't want one with snowflakes, snowmen, or reindeer. Ths one was perfect. Size was great, too.

Nice, but EXPENSIVE!
The leather gauntlets I bought seem to be nice quality, but honestly not worth the price I paid for them. They were overpriced, in my opinion.
