My head is between sizes, so I picked large, fit very good and with draw string I can always take it up a little. Its easier to size down then to increase size with wool felt. When I'm working an event its usually about 1875 to 1900's. I'm a blacksmith, tinsmith and leather craft er depending on w hats needed I also make walking sticks to order. I don't order that often but when I do I always look to you first. Thanks for great service. A quality item doesn't mean much without service to back it up.

When ordering a bullet belt listen to w hat they say

I have been involved with historical re-enacting and dancing for decades, on ice and ballroom, and , for most of the time, did my own sewing of vests, uniforms, tails, etc. However, for a Victorian era ball, time was short, less than ten days, my clothes were 'tighter', needed a solution, so I hit the web. Historical Emporium came up, the reviews looked legit, the clothing had the right 'look', pricing was reasonable, so, using suggestions from the comments about sizing, I ordered a complete outfit, including a proper top hat. Everything arrived, via ground, in less than a week, and all of it actually fit!

I am absolutely pleased with your customer service. I placed an order and for w hatever reason, it never arrived. I had the tracking number and when I checked it said t hat my package was in the system....but after a few weeks, it never arrived. I emailed customer service and they said to wait a few days and if it doesn't arrive to let them know. I did end up having to write again and they said they would immediately replace my order. By the end of the day I received an email saying it was shipped and in 3 days I had received my item. Your customer service department is wonderful - I am totally pleased with my order and I would highly recommend this site to my friends. Great job!!

WOW! A GREAT Duster at a GREAT Price! Excellent fabric-weight, Fantastic assembly/stitchwork, not too soft, not too rough, and it feels genuinely DURABLE! I fully expect this coat to serve me well, probably for the rest of my life!

I miss ordered twice first I ordered the wrong color belt, then the second time ordered the wrong size belt. Each time the customer service individual was great in helping me and each time the exchange went smooth. Tony B.
