I read the reviews before purchasing. The reviews stated that the garments ran a size larger. I read where some customers were unhappy because they did indeed run larger to size. So, I ordered the next size smaller than I normally wear. I also looked at the sizing chart. Yet, when I rec'd the 2 garments, even a smaller size, they were still too BIG. Not even close. Very loose. I have sent them back and requested the next size smaller. Which is the only size left to me actually. What was disappointing was though I was substituting the sizes, you do not have free return shipping. I was dismayed to have to pay more money. $18.35. Most any company today offers free return shipping. To have it altered was not a choice, as the garments would have not lined up very well and the cost would have been around $55. I feel I did plenty research before choosing the size that should have fitted me. When the sizing is incorrect due to clothier, they/you should pay for shipping. At least a credit or shipping refund. The clothing was as described and well-made and I was not disappointed in their appearance.

Great product. Normally I portray General/President George Washington. Was asked to do a Abraham Lincoln presentation this past Memorial Day. The bread was exactly what I needed.

I am happy with the item I purchased. It arrived quickly and is well made. I would buy from this site again.

I have been doing business with Historical Emporium for several years now and I have always been pleased with their service.

I was afraid I'd waited too long to order a costume I needed, but luckily I found Historical Emporium! My costume shipped quickly, got here in plenty of time and it was high quality. I will definitely come here first the next time.

If I don't complain, then I am satisfied with a product. If I do complain, I will return the product. I don't believe in prompting customers to provide the advertising. Business didn't use to be so demanding. Having said that, I love my string tie.
