I had issues with my delivery address and their customer service contacted me back almost immediately even though it was after hours listed on the site. They worked things out very quickly and efficiently. Some of the best customer service I've ever dealt with. They also shipped the order fast and it arrived in great condition.

Just a disappointment of a purchase. Everything is top notch but it failed at its most cut corner and weakest point IMMEDIATELY. A belt loop held together with 4 cheap staples. I wouldn't have noticed had it held together but looking at it now it's an egregious design flaw that is obviously a cost saving measure. Haven't even worn it 10 times. I paid triple digits for this. Lame.

Perfect!
I wore it with the Hastings regency coat. It looked amazing the vest itself is high quality and just looks amazing and fit just right. I recommend this one for sure.

Very nice coat authentic looking
The quality is really nice the material are very good too worth the price. Only thing is I wish they had an extra small size. The small is an inch too big in the shoulders and chest. I'm a taller but slim build so I had to take the shoulders in an inch for it to look right. Other than that I highly recommend it especially if it's the right measurements

Classic pants
Product is exactly what I needed. Fit was perfect after altering the length as expected. I will buy again.

Small changes are a plus.
I bought a white Abbington a couple of years ago and fully expected to need to tape the arms eye to cover the scratchy netting. I was pleasantly surprised to see it was already done! The double button on the collar now keeps it straighter. It's nice to see a company pay attention to customer reviews and act on it. Thank you!

We attended a western black tie wedding. I loved the quality and fit of my skirt however I am 5'2" and the skirt was way too long or made for a crinoline. I had to roll the top and cover with a wide belt which worked fine.

Great customer service
Not only are their products top tier, but so is their service! I had issues with my order and they contacted me back and worked it out immediately! Some of the greatest customer service I've ever dealt with!

Misrepresentation
This parasol is misrepresented on your website,it is pictured twice as the colour black ,all black ,your website sates the colour is black,what I received was a parasol with a black fabric top ,but the handle is a light colour tan.The white parasol is pictured with a light colour handle ,that is correct.I am disappointed.

Well made, nice cotton fabric
I found this to be quite well made with nice quality cotton fabric. It takes dye well (we just used RIT dye) and the floral pattern stays white which was exactly what we wanted. Be aware it is very long, so if you are average height or less, you will need to hem it. Also, the sleeve bands are pretty tight (accurate to the measurement chart with no real excess). I wish the armbands were looser because it's always easier to make it smaller if necessary.

Absolutely love it!
Haven't worn yet, but if I look as good as I felt when I tried it on, then I know that I will be a HIT on the cruise ship. Our theme is Western Wear

Very cute bonnet
Fits well with hair up or down. Will need to be ironed before use. Otherwise, it's a good choice for anyone looking for a bonnet that goes with many different summer outfits. [I noted it was made in PA, so been on quite a journey--to the West Coast and back.]

Gloves to match my outfit
Perfect size. I will gently wash before use to soften them up.

A bonnet to match my outfit.
The bonnet is a perfect fit for my head plus bundled hair! I will need to iron the brim out before using it.

Not impressed for what I paid
I'm not impressed. The polka dots material is only on one side of the scarf. It is plain black on the other side.

Love the fabric.
The body is more fitted on a matronly figure than the picture shows (which was expected), so I ordered a larger size. This is my third purchase from Historical Emporium; they are on my short list of vendors.

It was exactly as advertised
I am making an outfit for a mid-19th century Quaker woman. With some minor restyling it will be very close to authentic.

A Classic
This is a high-quality vest that can be worn daily or for reenacting or cosplay - the style is classic. It fits as expected, too.

Really Good / Really BAD
The suspenders are terrible. The adjustment for length is a pain to use. I like the shirt. It is very comfortable

Great
I do living history education, so I dress the part. I've had several of you items before, the are great. They tend to be sized a little small, but that's ok, I just go up 2 sizes. Thank you for great products ill be ordering more in the near future. Sincerely Joe
