To small

I am very happy with this item it was arriving on time and the quality is extraordinary.

Wonderful vest with a bow tie and a regular tie in the same material. Fast shipping and we'll packaged! Thanks.

Really liked this vest as it can with extra ties and can dress up a plan suit.

So far my boyfriend has not worn the vest, it is for a cruise in October. Every year I buy a vest for him from your company and have never been disappointed. Every year on the cruise he always get several compliments on his vests. One year on the cruise this lady got close to him and stated "I always love to see a man in a nice vest"....I laughed and said to myself "this woman thinks she is Mae West....hahaha Anyhow, we are always pleased.

Like the vest. The buttons leave something to be desrired. Two came off very easily and because of their design, can't be fixed to be re-attached to the vest. Will need to look for something else to use for a button. Other than that, very nice.

Beautiful material, great styling. Just now, a 2X fits me in a WAH vest, but a 1X is better for me with this manufacturer. I can get in to an "L", but it's a near thing. The HE staff were infinitely patient with me exchanging sizes until I got the right one.

Good quality and good service. I will shop here again.

The vest is quite showy and looks good, however, it is larger than the typical size category indicates; I bought a small and it was designed more like a medium. Also, the strap in the back only has a limited amount of room to tighten because of how it is sewn: I had to cut those strings blocking it in order to fasten it tight enough to fit. I also had to cut open the pockets displayed on the front, which was tedious. Overall it's not a bad vest but it does come off as cheap.

Great product just undersized. I have vests from other manufacturers and this vest is undersized. Great vest, just order next size up

I purchase and collect much "offbeat" and fine clothing. I was very pleasently surprised that this product looks better in real life than it does in the picture.

Just not my style

The vest looks exquisite. Very classy, but still fits in at a SASS event.

The color , the style and the fit really describes the name: Showman Vest!

I love this vest! It's a birthday present from my Mom. I've already been asked by several people where I got it. Love wearing it to church when I sing special music.

LOVE IT..BEAUTIFUL...

very nice

Fits well, looks good. It is great to be able tobuy stylish clothes for my conservative man. Excellent service.

Was a perfect fit. It will look great on my husband for our Halloween costume party!

I really like the shade of purple on the vest and ties. The vest is a comfortable fit and will go well with a formal event as well as a re-enactor event or costume party. Excellent product all together!

The vest that I bought was a beautiful material, good craftsmanship, and looks just like it's picture. The ONLY problem is, when buying something off a website, you don't get to try it on to see how it fits. Because I am tall and slender, the vest was essentially a beautiful purple tube on me. I had to have it tailored to fit me properly. Don't get me wrong though... I will most likely being making future purchases from this site. They have a great selection!

I have worn both my red and purple vests. At several 200 anniversary celebrations. They are great conversations starters.

The product looks impressive but I found it stiff and not a silky feeling as I am used to. Also your sizing is very large. I ordered a small which is usual for vests but easily used an xs. As was I ended up having it tailored to the appropriate size and even the people in the shop thought it was mis-sized. But now it does look good.

great product!!

Fits perfect. Nice quality for the price.

This vest is made with workmanship and care, a very classy piece to my wardrobe. The sizing was perfect

Bought this vest for my husband and it looks fantastic! The color is absolutely stunning and it helps if you like the color purple (which my husband does). It will be a show stopper! The fit is true to size and it looks very much like the picture on Historical Emporium's website. Thanks!

The vest looked great, however, the back strap was sewn with a very limited amount of room to tighten: I had to remove those strands in order to tighten the vest further. Also, the size category is not that accurate: I ordered a small and it fit more like a medium. The pockets were also sewn shut, which I've always found tedious because then you have to cut it yourself, and there's a chance you could damage the fabric. Overall, I love the appearance but it does feel cheap.

Fantastic item and great service. Perfect for our Mardi Gras party!!!

Great product, just undersized. I have vests from other manufacturers and these vests are undersized. Beautiful vest, just order next size up.

Quality, Quickly.

Excellent product good quality sizing info was correct

For a silver vest, the Klondike, the Montgomery, or the Showman all appeared to be quite similar so I based my decision just on the pattern visible in the closeup photos -- I liked this pattern best. What I did not see from the photos was that this Showman vest is VERY metallic silver. I believe the others might be more satiny (which was what I imagined) rather than metallic. It's still a very nice vest, well made and the right fit, and I will still wear it -- but it's a bit "louder" than I was expecting.

Nice quality and price

Love these items. Look great, good quality and quick delivery. As with previous items, I am very pleased.

As an entertainer, I used this vest on christmas day, on stage. Very good looking in the light of the stage.

Absolutely very handsome vests. The fit was perfect on both the small and mediums. Went very well with white shirts and bolo ties!

Well made , well made

Excellent replica of the 19th century tie so widely used. I wore this tie with the classic work vest and a white shirt, it looked gorgeous in my opinion, I look forward to buying again in the future.

I told my wife that I was getting this tie to go with my Farnsworth vest and wing collar shirt. She rolled her eyes and muttered, “Dear lord. You want to look like Colonel Sanders.” I took that to mean that she wholeheartedly approved of my choice. That was my misunderstanding. However, when everything arrived and I put it on, she did approve! Not only did she approve, she started naming all the places and events where I can wear it! It’s the small moments in marriage that build a lifetime of fun. Don’t take yourself too seriously! Have some fun, even if other people think you’re silly!

Bought this to add to my work ensemble, and super happy with it. Great fit, great quality, and looks fantastic with both of the vests I have purchased

Very nice well made bowtie. Not a cheap imitation, but quality item.

I love this western tie, and it is made of good quality and looks great. I had many positive comments when I wore it the first time, and expect I will always get the same when I wear this.

My husband is obsessed with the old time cowboy look and just had to have this tie. We live in the mountains of Colorado, all cowboy and ranch country, he wore it the first time to our small country church, white shirt, black vest, big black cowboy hat....swore he looked like the preacher himself. Made the outfit very distinguished. Everyone loved it.

Material is good. Construction needs securing of the bow fold ends. I had to have one stitched because the bows pulled out of the center piece.

Received as ordered - Well made - Paired this with bib front, white, shirt with a wing tip collar - Looks fantastic

A friend need a "different" tie for a wedding and asked me to look around. I found the deluxe western bow tie...reminded by friend of Bat Masterson...from an old cowboy/western TV show... he loved it. It was a big hit at the wedding too !

The string tie gives another option for multiple use of the suit.

All the attention to detail, the arm bands, the hat, the tie, and the suspenders, created a perfect historical outfit.

Exactly what I wanted.

I like it, keeps face warm and dust out of mouth

The burgundy dot neckerchief arrived on time and as described. Love it!

This is just the start of my western ensemble. An "urban cowboy" now, I was raised country, with work boots, slopping the hogs, and a simpler life that I really miss today. Historical Emporium brought back a sense of those days with this cotton neckerchief. Often confused for a bandanna, the cowboy neckerchief was a larger and sturdier bit of gear. Like the shemagh, it has a large number of uses, from shade in the summer to warmth in the winter. Big enough to pull over your nose, it hides the highwayman's identity, but could just as easily keep sand out of your snooter on a dusty trail. Since I've gotten this fine piece of fashion, I've worn it just about everywhere (I'm at the age where I honestly don't care what anybody thinks) and have had several questions about it and even a few compliments. So, I'm a fan of both this neckerchief and Historical Emporium. I look forward to my next purchase!

I purchased on of the scarves and I simply couldn't be happier! It's exactly as advertised. I'll be purchasing many more items from this wonderful store!!

Good for 1800s cosplay and such.

I'm wearing it to a formal 20's Gatsby style outdoor wedding, in a week. I will submit photos.

Wore this to a wedding this weekend. It was the perfect crowning touch to my Cowboy cut tux and western vest. Looks as good as the pictures here and it arrived early. I have never been disappointed in anything I have ordered from this business. The wedding photographer kept taking photos and said we were the best dressed couple. I got a ton of compliments and was amused at how many folks wanted a picture with me. Did I mention I love the tie?

Delivered faster than expected. A very nice tie!

Looks great, love the color, received 2 days after placing order.

I don’t put reviews on anything never really care enough to I guess. But I bought this tie for my wedding and it is beautiful and soft and the material is very nice the adjustable neck strap is wonderful especially cause I have a rather larger build. Over all worth the money for sure

fab tie

I love everything about it. I have always wanted one and was lucky to have found the Historical Emporium.

I bought this for my husband, and he really likes it. It's just what he wanted.

Soooo pretty and included the diamond stud. Colour really shows the pattern and looks and feels very luxurious.

Absolutely beautiful and perfect. Fast delivery.

I wanted a Puff Tie because I'm working on a Doc Holliday outfit. This tie worked perfectly. Shipping was fast, and I received it about 4 days after ordering! Exactly as described. Great value!

Perfect

This tie matches the photo exactly. Exactly what I wanted.

I have received rave reviews, That would be the best review I could give...

This tie is great for the dark colored town coats and frock coats. The tie brightens them up.

This is a great addition to your outfit. Quality was put into making the tie. This is the second I purchased. Great service!!

Really looks good, very authenic

A wonderful bright red tie for any Holiday Event or other joyous occasion :)

The satin puff tie is made from colorful, medium weight material. The sewing is thorough. The design is excellent. The hook fastener is a little looser than I prefer, but it can be tightened with pliers. The tie comes with the jewel pin. The tie may seem a little expensive, but quality of materials and workmanship make it an excellent value. B

Perfect compliment to the Victorian Halloween Costume previously purchased.

Sharp looking ascot/tie. Should look really cool at Christmas parties!

The puff tie itself is very nice, well made, and an attractive red. It even has a tab underneath to pin through and make a really good puff. The tie tack that comes with it looks inexpensive, which is not a crime, but the point on it is too dull to go through fabric, especially the under tab. If you already have a good tie tack to wear with the tie, or a fat darning needle to start a hole, you will be fine. Otherwise, it may be frustrating.

Very nice tie. Easy to put on, goes very well with the rest of the outfit. Very nice bright red.

Its texture and subtle pattern convey an elegant sense of luxury. It is beautifully made.

Tie is more impressive than illustrated. Certainly added to outfit. Will be wearing tie for Christmas program at local museum.

excellent quality, fast shipping, would recomend.

Well made, in authentic form, of very nice material! ~ I later ordered a better diamond pin, albeit the one furnished is not objectionable for theatre use.

I bought this for my husband for Christmas, I can't wait to see him in it. I know he will love it.!

Really nice

It came on time. It was exactly as pictured. The tie fit perfectly and was easily adjustable. It looks great on my costume.

Looks great, many compliments!

The tie is well made and compliments the brocade vest. I appreciate the products offered by Historical Emporium.

All their puff ties are fabulous. So far, every one I have bought has come with the tie pin. Well made enough to dress any outfit, inexpensive enough to have a rainbow of selections. There is a little tab of fabric under the 'fall' of the tie, where you see the tie pin. It helps you stick the pin in and hold the ends up as puffy as you would like to make it. Excellent value for the price!

Very well made and stylish Victorian tie. I used it for a publicity shot for my book "Sherlock Holmes and the Autumn of Terror."

Very, very pleased with this tie! It arrived quickly (faster than expected). Material is solid, and clasp is similar to bow-ties you get with tuxedo rentals, so it's easy to adjust. Works perfectly with a banded collar shirt and is a great touch with a Scully vest (see related review). This is great for costumes and a perfect addition for an authentic looking Old West outfit.

Purchased for a person who does Victorian reenactments. It's high-quality, perfectly stitched, I looked it over carefully before giving as a gift....the recipient said the puff tie fit comfortably, and this guy doesn't even care to wear ties! Said it was so comfortable around the neck, he forgot he was wearing it for a few hours!!! Comes in a nice package, the little diamond-type tie tack is a nice touch. He said he had many compliments on the tie! And has thanked me over and over for the puff tie! : )

I bought this for a black tie event, but sadly never got the chance to wear it out. Life happened, and had to back out at the last minute. That being said it's well made. The tie tack is a nice touch, and it looks sharp with a vest and a white shirt. The fact that it buckles is nice...i have no idea how to tie a tie like this. Shipping was much faster than anticipated. Got it almost a full week before the projected delivery time. Would definitely shop this store again.

Love it!

It was great. Went well with my husband's frock coat and vest.

Exactly what was needed and even better than expected
