I'm building a small 1800's wardrobe. This is not my first purchase from the emporium nor my last. Commenting on this same subject before, I reiterate the ease, and accommodation, resolving size issues that invariably occur with clothing impossible to try on before purchasing, that makes these people a pleasure to deal with. I'd purchased a different style of vest at an earlier date in a specific size that fit great. This particular vest was purchased in the same size. It was too small. Both vests were satisfactory in quality most acceptable. They were NOT the same brand and NOT manufactured in even the same country of origin. This issue is unavoidable regardless of vendor choice. This happens. Not only was the item exchanged quickly but I paid no shipping for the exchange. That's damn good service in anyone's language!

			A thirty themed wedding. Ordered from a different company, it was wrong size and took forever.  Historical emporium saved me by ordering and fast shipping a correct vest to me so I was dressed appropriately!  Thanks

									Nice , dressy looking wool vest !
							
		 
		
			I'm a tall guy and a big guy , and have always had problems finding vests that I am comfortable in and that even look like they fit. They almost always feel to short in length and there is always too much space between the bottom of the vest and the waist of my pants . I bought this vest in the 3XT , and even though they were a special order and took a few days longer to get , when it arrived it fit PERFECTLY .

			I bought this vest after being less than impressed with my 'old fashioned' vest from another retailer. I absolutely love this vest! It has a full cotton, tan back to it. The cut is great. Going for a bit of a settler look for my wedding on my side, and this one helped me hit the mark. Strong recommendation for the look and quality.

			The last night of a planned overseas vacation, we will be celebrating our anniversary at a fairly posh restaurant in London.  They absolutely require men in long sleeves and would like a tie and jacket.  Not wanting to lug a jacket all over England, I purchased this herringbone vest for him.  With dress pants and a bold tie, the vest turns from Old West to English Country Gentleman.  We are pleased with the construction and the color.

			There are times when my Harris Tweed sport coat is too heavy.  This fits the occasion perfectly.  Very classy.
