After lots of looking to put together a good costume for a Halloween party, the Historical Emporium (HE) site kept being 'the' place with the best options. I always brace myself that the products are rarely as good as the photos but HE just proved to be the exception. Of the several products I purchase, ALL were as good as the images, and exceeded my expectations. Really high quality and very competitive pricing. HE is now my go-to store for historical costume options. Oh ...and I paid extra for expedited shipping and it arrives within a couple days. Kudos for the quick actions as needed and expected!

Your company is first rate for fantastic garments and delivering them on time and they are pristine when they arrive. I couldn't be happier. Thank you.

I have been actively reenacting the Old West, since the late 1960's, and have performed in both live action shows, and films, which required extras, and stunt people, familiar with the West, and the Indian, and Civil War, periods. But, in those days...if we could not find the actual, authentic, clothes, and equipment to use...and the wardrobe department was unable to provide the proper items...we hand made everything we wore, ourselves. There were NO places like the Historical Emporium in existence at that time. So, I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your firm's existence! I am now 70 years old, having just reached my 50th year of marriage to the same women, whom I MET in a STUNT SHOW, playing a Saloon Girl, where I first talked to her ON STAGE, for the first time. In celebration of this anniversary, we are throwing an Old West Party, on my ranch near Austin, Texas...where everyone dresses like its the 1880's...inviting everyone we know. This is why I bought my things from you people...and I cannot be more pleased I did so! Thank you!!

First-rate quality and quite amazingly prompt cross-country delivery time.

Ordered a cowboy holster...it was 1/2 of other sites. Those other sites said they were 10 weeks out. HE shipped super quick then I decided to exchange for different size. Customer Service politely explained process and it went smoothly with almost no wait time to get new belt. Seriously the world would be a much more pleasant place if all business operated like HE.

I have owned a few Heritage Rough Rider pistols for a couple of years and always thought that it would be very cool to have a belt and holster set. But not just any belt and holster set. I wanted something that looked like a "High Falootin" Gunslinger from the Old West would wear. Not a cheap imitation. Not a vinyl belt and holster. Not a plain, black Law Enforcement belt and holster. But something that had a big "WOW" factor. I stumbled upon Historical Emporium and was amazed at the look of the many holsters, belts, combinations, even the outfits were amazing looking. I chose the double holster for the Heritage .22 pistols. The description does not do justice to the quality craftsmanship of the belt and holsters. When I unboxed it I was, first overwhelmed by the fantastic aroma of leather. Not Pleather, not vinyl. But Real Leather. Thick, strong, decade-lasting Leather. The stitching is perfect. The detail and the coloring is phenomenal. I ordered my size based on the sizing chart and it was Spot-On. Somewhere in the description or details about guns that fit I read that the Heritage Rough Rider may not sit well in the holsters, and that the 71/2" Barrel Rough Rider would not work well. I must disagree. The holsters have a remarkable adjustment for snug fitting. Just squeeze the holster and the hidden (Magic) band holds the holster's shape and the pistol is held perfectly in place. As for the 7 1/2" Barrel Rough Rider not working well, I can attest to the fact that it works just fine with these holsters. I have a couple of videos on YouTube (Jeff Shoemake, Team WayPastFast) of "QuickDraw" actions with my Pistols. After a bit of practice I was able to quickly draw and fire the 6 1/2" and 7 1/2" barrel pistols from these holsters. I could ramble on for another hour about how much I love my Historical Emporium Belt and Holster. If you are looking for the Real-Deal Belt and Holster, look no further. As Christmas presents, I am buying two more of these for my friends who own Heritage Pistols and have been drooling over my belt and holster rig. I also plan to get the "Cross-Draw" holster for my belt so I can carry three pistols on this belt.
