Historical Emporium shipped my items very quickly and I received them very quickly, even up in Alaska! I greatly appreciate t hat the company clearly explains how they will ship an order, which can be very aggravating when placing orders to be shipped to Alaska. I am very satisfied with every item I ordered, and I receive complements as a docent at an early 1900's museum.

The web site is easy to use, and the shipping was very fast. The product ( spats) works fine and is well constructed. The problem I have is that the selection of spats is not remotely historically accurate or authentic. Polyester fabric, elastic foot strap, cloth-covered buttons; these did not exist in the heyday of spats. I have authentic spats from the period. The problem is that I also have large feet, and the spats from Historical Emporium are the only ones I can find that fit. (Kind of like, "I know the game is crooked, but it's the only game in town.") I knew what I was purchasing, and what I purchased is well made and exactly what was described. My desire, though, would be for the product from a place calling itself "Historical Emporium" would actually be historically accurate.

My experience here has been very smooth. Nothing to ruffle my feathers at all. I found everything I needed, and perhaps in abundance; colors and styles to choose from and construct the perfect regency outfit. While some might be out of stock, that did not limit my imagination in the slightest. I am wholeheartedly grateful for the Historical Emporium to exist.

A good selection and online ordering was easy.

The product that I purchased were delivered in a timely manner and in good repair. The quality was as expected. I wouldn't mind more reasonable prices on some of the jackets and such. Would love to complete my victorian look.
