I called to inform customer service that the item I ordered runs smaller than the size would indicate and she questioned me about taking measurements. I just thought it would be helpful if customers new had that information and maybe were told to order a size larger than normal. It felt like she really didn't care to hear about it.

I have made multiple purchases in the past 6 weeks, every single interaction has been great. I've had to send back a couple items due to not fitting properly. I received my refund the same day item was returned. I had to make a phone cal in regards to an order, customer serve rep was a pleasure to deal with. In this day and age customer service as good as historical emporium is few and far between. Thank you and keep up the great work !!!!

I am a first time customer of Historical Emporium and was very satisfied with their communication and speedy delivery. Cross border customs costs are very expensive if you are ordering outside of the U.S

Working teacher
Great quality, feels really nice to wear, fairly sturdy material but not heavy. Good for hot weather. Before I was a teacher I was a metal fabricator and I’d wear it for that too, although it’s a little expensive to abuse it that way. Great fit for me, tighter wrist buttons make the arms hang, lists of movement.

Nice coat
This is a nice coat. Although I bought a small I have to take it to a tailor to have it altered. I am 5'7", 150# and to sleeves are about 4" too long and the bottom hem touches the top of my shoes. Other than that it was much heavier than I expected.

Beautiful blouse
It does not appear to wrinkle easily based upon the shipping packaging. It fits according to the size advertised. I was going to wear it to church but surprisingly it was too warm for our summer heat in Arizona. This sheer blouse will be comfortable in Fall temperatures and that is great!

Didn't need
Vest was of a good quality and workmanship. Due to my not needing it because the Trousers didn't fit I returned the vest.

Didn't Fit
The Trousers didn't fit, when ordering I didn't realize the cut of the Trouser was to be worn high. I have a 42 waist at my belly button, but order a 38 waist because I wear my jeans at my hips. This was my mistake and not the Historical Emporium's. When ordering measure your belly button waist not your hips.

Gun belt and holster.
Wow, really, WOW! This gun belt and holster are fricken awesome! The smell of the leather, the way it fits is perfect! I have a 33” waist with long arms, I got the 42” gun belt and it’s a perfect fit! Great job guys, thanks a lot!!!

nice shirt
bought this for an historically flavored event. i had a few positive comments on the shirt, it fit nicely, and was comfy as could be expected. i am 6', 230# but if you are bigger, order a bigger shirt ! this size won't be good for anyone larger.

Braces
These are nice but I miss the clips that say " police brace" or "fireman s brace" I have an old set and also I wish that some of the other brass stampings I have seen in museums could be replicated.

Good quality
This shirt was just as described. I'm impressed by the quality and it really looks great. I'll be happy to wear it. The fit is larger than I thought it would be compared to what my normal shirts are but it's nothing to complain about. Just make sure you get the measurement and don't order the same as you would a modern one.

Size and quality
It is a beautiful and well made blouse, however, the size 2X fit perfectly in the bust, but the neck and sleeves were WAY too big/long. So, I ordered an XL. It fit better in the arms and neck, but not at all in the bust. I returned the XL and will need to have alternations made for the 2XL. For now I've pinned the sleeves rather than move the buttons, and took two "tucks" in the neck. Delivery on both orders was excellent, and the return process very easy to follow.

Prairie Dress
I am very happy with this lovely dress. It is well made and the material used is of good quality. The length is very long and it took me a long time to shorten the very full skirt I am 5' 6" and needed to shorten the dress 4". Overall it is a beautiful dress and the price is affordable for folks like me who volunteer at a Heritage Village

Great helmet. I had a set of these 30 years ago and they hardly changed. High quality leather and craftsmanship

Very well made, and authentic looking.
Although personally I’d rather a simpler design, and maybe a smaller profile around the holster, it worked perfectly as both a belt and great piece for a cosplay I had done. It feels extremely durable so I know this will last for a long while, though I may not use it more than a few times. Worth the price for good craftsmanship

Epitome of 1930’s cool!
I love this hat. Went through the drive through wearing to see what reactions I would get. Both the girls gave me a funny smile like they didn’t know quite what to think.

Well made!
Great pants well made. I got them for a play but also so I could wear them for outdoor work. I’m a 34 waist and got a 36 because of other reviews and like the fit.

Beautiful ... but ENORMOUS!
This thing is GIGANTIC! 5 Stars for quality--really well-made--but would best fit 6'3 & 215lbs (tee-hee). Seriously, this cape is comparable to a Mens 3X--maybe larger. A great piece for hard-to-fit Tall & Hefty actors who want quality outer-wear. I will pass this along to another Victorian cosplayer--it's too nice to return. Historical Emporium: Please make this selection in a more realistic option (Men's Large, perhaps?). I would gladly purchase it again if it were available in a smaller size.

Great looking holster
Bought it for my black powder revolver but it simply "swallowed " it . Fits my ruger blackhawk like a glove though .

Awesome
I purchased the Vaughan Green Waistcoat, since I needed a different color and style to accent my wardrobe for an upcoming event. The material is high quality, the color is true and represented well by the photos, and the fit was as described. I was surprised by the quality and how well made it was. Shipping was quick. I am very happy and will readily purchase similar items in the future.
