Customer service helped me with my exchange and recommended the proper size. He was very polite and knowledgeable. The exchange could have been avoided if your website recommended ordering a belt four sizes larger than waist size

Honestly, it was so good. The size-chart and recommendations were extremely helpful AND I've found the quality to really be superb.

Historical Emporium is one of 2 places I can find the western fashions I want. The products are top quality, albeit a tad on the pricey side. I found 2 of the Sinclair edwardian shirts on sale in Tombstone at $20 less, each, than at H.E. It would be nice to keep customers informed of clearance and sale prices.

A first-time customer, I finally acted on purchasing a sale item, encouraged by other customers' high rating. I was greatly impressed! I wish you had more edwardian styles for women. Maybe the Downton Abbey craze has died down, but Edwardian clothes are so hard to find!!! Please consider restocking choices, including walking suits, tea gowns and evening dress.

Easy to use website to place orders. Order was posted within a day or two of order. Order arrived when Historical Emporium said it would arrive. Price was reasonable for a garment that looks like period clothing and looks great on stage.

Initially Unsure: Now, a Believer
Okay, hear me out. I bought these as an alternative to replacing my regular khakis once a year, hoping they'd be sturdy and well-made (they are!) Also- no need for a belt, so I thought that'd be nice. They arrived and were indeed high waisted, well above normal pants height (I sized up, and am on the fence. I may try ordering true-to-size, but I am slim). After a week of wearing them in, I'm sold. They're comfy, the canvas looks as if it might hold up for a decade, and after having them hemmed up (and removing that gaudy tag), I reckon they'll be my go-to leg coverings. I may order a more dress-pant version at some point, but they really are a very nice, unique, and comfortable cut of pant. I've already recommended them to a few friends.

They Hold Up
No, truly! I'm enjoying these plenty. The color is nice, the leather looks classy. They're holding up my high-waisted trousers. What more can I ask for?

Absolutely Grand
I bought this as a kind of add-on to my order, unsure of how I'd like it. As it turns out, it is my favorite piece. Very soft, with a nice texture to the pattern, it looks stylish and smart without the need for a tie or for proper "dressing up." Paired it with a vest and Boom! Looking like a 19th Century Irish Farmer who anachronistically happens to work in an office.

Sturdy
I wear period correct outfits for classes and events at our local museum. These trousers are perfect for that. They are comfortable and appear to be very well made. These were shipped to me when I exchanged the first pair, which I ordered way too small. Historical Emporium was great to deal with and shipped out the return quickly, no hassles, no fuss.

Wonderful
I am more than pleased with gunbelt and holster. It looks better than the pictures. Sturdy leather that fit me and my ruger perfectly. I live in the country and need to have my gun on me a lot due to snakes and other wild life, so this will be used regularly. It's comfortable and doesn't way my pants down.

Perfect collared shirt
I just returned from Tombstones "Helldorado Days" where I wanted to get my photo taken with the Earp brothers and Doc Holliday. I had wonderful black Frontier Classics trousers, red apache scarf, grey tweed vest and white banded collar shirt. I ended up hating the shirt. It made me feel like I was choking. I bought the Sinclair Edwardian shirts in all the colors available and LOVE them. With the proper ties I can leave the collar unbuttoned, breathe and still look good.

Nice trousers
Nice trousers. Waist size is accurate. The only negative thing I have to say is that the leg length is intentionally oversized adding more needless expense and inconvenience if have them altered. How hard/costly would it be to offer specific inseam length options like most other clothing manufacturers?

Galway Flannel Shirts
Very well made. Made in Ireland! Soft heavy cotton. True to size. Hang dry these shirts, do not use hot water, warm is ok. I bought one shirt to try it out hoping it wasn't made in China. It was such high quality and comfortable I ordered two more a week after. You won't go wrong with these shirts. Comes in quite a few different colors.

Great warm weather pants
I bought this to wear in warmer weather. The fabric is thinner, but still rugged. I shortened the legs and had my tailor use the material to make a pocket on the left hip cheek to match the patch pocket on the right cheek. I've learned the value of having more pockets, and since I wear a long rifle coat with these pants, it doesn't matter if historically accurate or not; it just makes sense to have 4 pockets. The pants fit well and look good; not overly baggy but not rock-n-roll tight either. The fabric feels like its treated for repellency; they look good with the tuxedo shirt and vest. If you're going for the "Tombstone Marshall" look, these will work well.

Outstanding product and service.
The holster I bought is top notch quality. Very happy with it. Their customer service is phenomenal and they are reasonable and responsive. The only thing I'll caution is the sizing chart for the product I bought. You may want to discuss the sizing with a rep before ordering, but I Absolutely recommend this company.

Mrs Daly loves it!
As a docent at the Marcus Daly Mansion (Riverside) in Montana, I need in-period costumes to give tours. I am also a performer with our Acapella Society, singing at Christmas events. This comfortable and well-made skirt fits both venues. It has exceptional detail with the back ruffles, the slight A-line and can be used dressed or casual. I needed a small, but purchased medium, which will work for outdoor winter performances, covering the much-needed thermal underwear! I'm more of a petite, so the skirt is a bit long, but can be easily remedied, or even stylized further to create a slight train. Next time Mrs Daly appears, I'm sure she'll give a nod of approval!

Exactly what I needed
I have been looking for the perfect jacket to wear around Christmas time and this fit the bill perfectly. I know it is billed as a smoking jacket but the quality, fit, and overall look is so good that it can be worn for more than just a Hugh Heffner costume.

Nice royal purple smoking jacket
For a theatrical production. Nice saturated color, good fit, and nice details. I would have given in a 5 star had the velvet been a better quality but is truly beautiful on stage and works quite well for period shows.

Tried two sizes
6'2" and 220 lbs here. The Medium/Large fit really nice except for some short sleeves. Cosplay has gloves so this is actually a plus. The XL/2X fit like a circus tent - definitely for a plus size fella or someone who wants to do their own tailoring. Everything else is as expected. Super thick fabric.

Aviator Helmet and Goggles
Great service, arrived within a few days of ordering. And, ordering a size larger was the ticket---the helmet fits perfectly, along with the Barnstormer Goggles!
