It was a gift, however i did have opportunity to examine it briefly and it appears to be well made. Shipping was prompt.

Good quality, exclusive product

Second hat I've ordered . So needless to say I am very happy with my experience at Historical Emporium website. Thank you H.E. till the next time.

I have ordered fingerless lace's gloves. It was delivered an a few days. I was surprised and very pleased. I like gloves, they are so pretty and fit just perfectly. Thank you very much.

The two most recent purchases from H.E. were shelf brackets to install some porch railings, and a Vest, to wear with my kilt coat and kilt. An historical note, the Victorian Era was both the beginning and the High Water Mark of the modern day kilt and its accessories. So, the BEST place to buy cloating for kilt wear is a firm like Historical Emporium. All the products I have bought from here, have been first rate, just the few and or odd item detail a 'bit off' (such as very soft metal in the screws of the brackets]. Not any of the 'off items' detract nor nullifiy the value and use of the Item. A very fine place to shop for these sorts of items, if you are an antique house owner, 'cosplay' artist, or a person fed up with 'modern fashions' and suits that look like you are an undertaker by trade. There is nothing quite like attending a formal event in a ruby coloured velvet doublet and kilt, that in a room full of 'penguins'. Or attending church in a full frock ditto suit/ or ladies attire, which this tailor has the sense not to comment on!

Great fast delivery. I think the shipping charges are way out of line though.
