I have been actively reenacting the Old West, since the late 1960's, and have performed in both live action shows, and films, which required extras, and stunt people, familiar with the West, and the Indian, and Civil War, periods. But, in those days...if we could not find the actual, authentic, clothes, and equipment to use...and the wardrobe department was unable to provide the proper items...we hand made everything we wore, ourselves. There were NO places like the Historical Emporium in existence at that time. So, I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your firm's existence! I am now 70 years old, having just reached my 50th year of marriage to the same women, whom I MET in a STUNT SHOW, playing a Saloon Girl, where I first talked to her ON STAGE, for the first time. In celebration of this anniversary, we are throwing an Old West Party, on my ranch near Austin, Texas...where everyone dresses like its the 1880's...inviting everyone we know. This is why I bought my things from you people...and I cannot be more pleased I did so! Thank you!!

The item I got was the exact item I was looking for, in size, weight, and appearance. The price with shipping was very reasonable.

Ordered this product online on a Sunday and received by Wednesday of that week. Was very pleased since it allowed me to wear to a function that Friday. The order process was uncomplicated and the order reply was prompt. The quality of the hat I received was top notch and better than anticipated. I can't wait to utilize in both Revolutionary War and War Between the States re-enactments.

The pith helmet came quickly and in good condition.I was very impressed by the historical accuracy and quality. I am doing everything in my power to hold back on ordering them all!

Thank you Historical Emporium for carrying historical western clothing & accessories!!! I will continue to do business with you in the near future!! Keep up the good work my friends!!!

Order complete. All items purchased exceeded expectations.
