I had questions that you were able to answer to help me pick the correct garment. Which, not only fit but looks great!

Less than a week before her wedding, my daughter informed me that the colors would be black/white and green. A day or two after that, she sent me a photo of the tie she was going to be wearing. So I'm in a bit of a panic, and I think, "Hey, I get all kinds of cool stuff at Historical Emporium. I wonder if they can get this to me on time?" So I look up the emerald green vest that I wanted and call in to order it, and have it shipped as fast as possible TO UTAH (since I'd be leaving my home in Eureka, CA before it was even shipped). The support person said, "No problem, we can get it there via normal two-day." I worry and ask if I need to pay for overnight. They quote me the difference, and then say, "It'll get to Utah on Thursday, no problem. Overnight will only get it there one day earlier." So I trust them, and it gets there the day before I do! (Did I mention I drove there, and it took me three days?) The vest and matching tie are perfect. I also got an ivory hat band for my top hat. I supplemented it with my blue striped trousers... that I originally bought from the Emporium. Fantastic. Of course, my daughter looked better, because... well, she's my daughter. Lovely wedding!

Product delivered on time and in great shape. Packaging to protect item from damage was excellent.

I made a phone order and customer representative was personable, helpful and took time to answer my questions.

I was nervous about sizing, as like most, I'm not a straight size. I called, they courteously helped me decide on size and each of my 3 items (walking skirt, vest and Gibson girl blouse) came carefully packaged in just 7 days, although the vest was a 'special order' item and I anticipated a delayed delivery. Everything fit perfectly and each item is well made and authentic to the time period. I will certainly recommend your site to others!

This site offers quality products tailored to the styles of various periods in history. Items aren't Halloween costumes but excellent garments that are for normal usage, daily if one wished to. With others dressed accordingly, it is something like stepping back in time! The Historical Emporium delivers their merchandise as quickly as possible and always provides professional service.
