vest was pretty much as expected. Not something you'd wear to a wedding, just a good hangout vest. It's a bit stiff due to the thick, strong material. Overall I was pleased with it.

I ordered the wrong size hat. Expressed shipped it back and Julia was great help as was Noel who's suggestion worked best. US mail had the package arriving in San Jose, the 3rd. It didn't get there. Noel's suggestion he left on my voice mail to buy another and they would refund the first upon receiving it. Having a drop dead date of when I needed the new hat sent Julia followed through with the order's shipping and getting me the info. Hat got here a few days earlier! Thank you, Historical Emporium,

High quality material and color. Shipped quickly. Elegant and awesome.

Easy to use website to place orders. Order was posted within a day or two of order. Order arrived when Historical Emporium said it would arrive. Price was reasonable for a garment that looks like period clothing and looks great on stage.

Clothing sizes are confusing, but over all great company.

I'm a happy returning customer. But the last order I received was for a beautiful frock coat. I had the surprise of very expensive Customs fees at the post office, for the first time, when I went to get the package. It never happened before. Perhaps, it would be nice to advise the clientèle that fees like that could be expected sometimes. So that way, we won't get that big of a surprise when we go to the post office to get our purchase. Thanks for your services.
