Arrived much sooner than expected, within days of ordering.

The top hat was exactly like the one I had as a kid in my grand parents house!!!

The lady who answered the phone went out of her way to ensure I got perfect fit on the shirt and suggested the garters. I didn't know what I wanted in a tie and she helped me pick out a good one. Had she been standing beside me she couldn't have done better. As for the delivery time: my order was supposed to take several days, maybe a week......but it took just four days to my door. I'm not used to such short delivery times from anyone except Amazon...and I'm only three miles from one of their "hubs".

I originally ordered the wrong size Trousers for a theatre event. The staff bent over backward to get a larger size to me asap. The quality of the pants, fit, look for the play etc.(The Fantasticks) was just perfect. The actor, director and I were more than pleased with this company!!!

Historical Emporium is one of my "go-to" sources for mid to late 19th century clothes and etceteras. I say 'one' because other sources provide additional options that are unavailable at HE. I like HE's offerings and quality, so I am by no means diminishing HE. Obviously, I'll be back.

Absolutely love this purchase. Well made, correct sizing, beautiful!
