I'm a woman with a big head and a lot of hair. I've searched for 5 years now for a summer straw top hat that was large enough for me. Five years ago I purchased a wool felt top hat from a local men's hat store in my city, because I'd purchased a floor-length winter coat and felt that my old hats make me look like a mushroom. I wanted to extend the "tall" look of the coat with a long hat. I became so accustomed to wearing a top hat that I wanted a summer version. This has been quite a challenge to find. Usually, when I've found one in the past they were all too small. This one came in sizes, which was a huge plus for me. Once received, it's even better than I expected! The quality and the weave of the hat is smooth and elegant. I LOVE this hat! People stop me on the street, in admiration of any top hat I wear. It's a unique look for a woman and is becoming my personal trademark. I have 3 winter wool versions. After finding this one, I did locate another straw hat from a different company in a "natural" straw color. It was half the price, and although I do like the other one, this one from the Historical Emporium is very obviously of a higher quality. Very glad to have found you. Thank you for producing such a high-quality product! I'm now donating all of my other summer straw hats to charity!

Quality item. Description of pants very accurate. Prompt delivery.

As a first time customer I could not be happier. I was surprised how quickly my order arrived. Blouse, skirt, petti coat and belt are all made with high quality and true to size. Everything was exactly as described and fit perfectly. Thank you SO much!!
