The overall experience was outstanding. I measured myself for a 42" belt. When I put on the belt & holster. I found the belt too long. I contacted customer service & they sent me a return label. I sent back the assembly & am waiting for my new holster & belt for a 22 cal. When I receive the new holster & belt. Check for fit. I will be ordering another for a 357 cal. I wish all the companies I deal with were as good as Gentlemans Emporium.

Sometimes going back in time reminds one better quality was a hallmark. What a wonderful breath of fresh air to do so and walk away with a simply spectacular bit of clothing.

I had outstanding customer service to resolve an issue while trying to order on line. Product arrived on time and was exactly what I wanted. Cheers!

I had been eyeing the Emporium for some time, hoping to order something, and I finally saved enough and took the opportunity to purchase a vest and ascot for my formal outfit. I was not at all disappointed with either the service rendered or the quality of the merchandise; both were simply superb! I ordered the Middlethorpe vest - Emerald, and paired it with the Opulent Paisley Ascot - Black, which comes with a matching pocket square. I wear the vest and ascot with my black tailcoat tuxedo I lamentably purchased elsewhere but plan to replace with Emporium products someday. Both the vest and ascot arrived together, in good condition, and each exceeded my expectations. The vest pockets were, as indicated on the product page, sewn shut, but with a seam ripper I easily opened them and added my pocket watch, the chain of which fastens just as easily to the buttons. The ascot was also perfect for my desired image, and thanks to the instructions the Emporium provided a link to on the product page I was able to tie the accessory right out of the package. I had contacted customer service prior to this first order of mine about other products I'd been considering, and they were very helpful with their suggestions, and answered my questions personally. I am very pleased with my experience ordering from Historical Emporium, and highly recommend both the products I ordered and the store itself. Sure, you might be able to find similar things elsewhere, but the Emporium collects all of your best options into one storefront, and answers your questions at every turn to help you make the most informed and personalized decision possible. I will most certainly buy from them again, and I encourage those who sit atop the fence to come and dance in the welcoming ballroom we know fondly as Historical Emporium; you won't regret it!

One can not get too much green for St Pat's Day. This vest comes close. A great color for the day. Size listed on the site was true. A good fit and good workmanship.

Great site
