I've been looking for a dress shirt from the 1800's with the turned up collar and this is perfect.

Dinner date!

Definitely get the shirt heavily starched or make your own from rice flour. The collar should always be very stiff.

My husband is a tall thin guy and the small was a perfect fit for him. It looks great and the buttons and stitching is very high quality. Would definitely buy again from these guys.

Great shirt

Very nice looking and comfortable shirt that is well made in a good quality cotton. Size is a bit bigger than expected, but after a cold wash and a tumble dry it shrunk to a perfect fit.

This is not a cheap replica or tuxedo shirt. It's high quality fabric and craftsmanship. Very please worth the extra money

I am into Steampunk, and this is the conclusion of attire I needed in its creation. I had several other shirts that just couldn't fit the bill for various different reasons. When I put the shirt on with my other clothes and then finally the face mask I created, the shirt gave an added debonair look that made me say only one thing. "EXCELSIOR!!"

Loved the fit and the style and the %100 washed cotton. Exactly what I wanted.

Dinner date!

The tie is of good quality, and it is very easy to take on and off. It also comes with a sparkly pin, which is a nice addition to the tie. Definitely would recommend for weddings or formal occasions.

Daily public wear.

It’s just what I wanted

I needed a tie to wear for a charles dickens Christmas party and it worked perfectly.

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 bought this coat to go with the Victorian outfit I put together for strolling around the historic buildings at Greenfield Village. The fit is good and it looks great!

We are purchasing costumes for ghost tours. I ordered the wrong size, returned the item, got an email the same day it was delivered back. They will send the correct size when it is back in stock. I am VERY impressed with the level of customer service! This will now be our go to shop!!

Good quality and feel.

Perfect size and fit for 46 L. Looks professional.

I had to appear in a morning coat suit for a formal academic event with European protocol (the men wore either their academic regalia or a morning coat suit). It turns out that the coat is not easy to come by in the US, but I was fortunate to run across the Historical Emporium's website. They had the right coat in my size in stock and shipped right away. It's a nicely made coat in exactly the right style, although the materials are modern, light weight and comfortable. I'd certainly buy from them again should the occasion arise.

Very nice fitting coat as well as attractive.

Wore it to the Dickens Fair 2023

Western wear

My Morning Coat arrived in record time. It was exactly what I wanted and the fit was superb,requiring only minor sleeve alterations. The coat is good quality and well made. Great value for the money. Thanks Historical Emporium!

I love the cut. It flatters my body and is overall great quality.

Received the coat and tried it on immediately and noticed how light it was, which was a very big plus for the temperatures that we find on the middle Gulf Coast of Texas. The sleeves were about 6 inches too long, but that was good since the wife can sew (I can too, but only when I have to) and she could fit it to my arm length. Very happy with the coat so far and see no issues at this time!

We were using this jacket as a costume piece for a show. It arrived in record time which was great. We also needed an extra large size which wasn't easy to find anywhere else. The sleeves needed hemming but that 's ok better than too short. The coat was well made and can be kept for future endeavors. It looked amazing and really added to the character.

Good quality and fits well to ordered size!

An amazing coat worth every penny and took very well to minor alterations.

This is now my favorite vest i have about six from your collection. great quality & price Thanks

Love it! Quality of the fabric and styling are excellent! Great crossover piece with a classy touch for my favorite looks -- can go from formal to casual depending what it's combined with. Something I can wear to work, church, and downtown. The rounded bottom hem works nicely for displaying a fancy belt buckle. The Large size is slightly big for my 44" chest, but the adjustable buckle in the back makes it work, sizing is comfortable without buttons straining. Love the four front pockets, plenty of options for storage. The color is better described as brown/black, not brown/navy. The darker stripe is a soft black, not a blue tone. Love the brown/black stripe as it is, coordinates with more of my shirts/pants/jackets than the brown/navy would. The vertical stripes give a subtle slimming look.

I intend to wear the vest in several upcoming event as a living historian

I already had the pants but now I needed the vest. They were out of stock on the mediums so I had to get a large & take it in. I'll def check availability. Great quality!

Bought this and the matching Ferndale Striped spats to complete my patent medicine salesman 'living history' persona and am 1000% pleased with the fit and appearance. Both items look great in the website photos but are even more impressive in person. Really liked the higher neckline on this vest and the 4 pockets in front are perfect for everything from my pocket watch to a small bottle of 'cure all'. Thanks Historical Emporium for offering such great merchandise!

I ordered the whole suit; Frock coat, pants, vest and spats. Great quality. I'm 6'2" 215lbs and the XLs are a little on the large size, but I'll be getting them tailored. Not sure if the large would have done it, so not a big issue. LOOKS GREAT. Good weight to the fabric.

This is really one good looking vest! I have quite a few of your vests and am delighted with all of them. I'm a very big vest fan; don't consider myself fully dressed without one. This is the first striped vest I've bought and it certainly won't be the last. Congrats for a terrific product!

I love the vest. Just want to mention that the navy stripes look black.

The vest was very great quality!!! It was amazing I was very satisfied! I wore it my first day back to school and I think I made an impression I got many compliments and saw many signs of envy This isn't a costume it's a real suit It's a little boxy on me since I'm a girl but other than that it was absolutely fabulous

The vest was arrived very fast, the hubby loved it. The quality is great and fits like a dream.

Very snazzy.

Beautiful vest. Just what I was looking for. Fast shipping and great service. Will be back again and again, I'm sure.

I ordered this along with the matching trousers and we pleased to see how well it fit and how well-made it was. I would definitely recommend this ensemble to anyone looking for durable non-costume period clothing.

Only worn it twice so far- but the poll of those who have seen it suggests this is winner. great stuff. I'll be back for more style thanks for the great product

Seems great. Haven't tried to wash/clean it yet but the quality is nice. Trust the tape measure. I couldn't bring myself to order a size large as 100% of my wardrobe is XL. Ended up having to exchange it. I think I could have even fit a medium. Trust the tape measure procedure they give you. Also, go a size up on the pants as suggested. The Ferndale combo looks pretty sweet.

Really nice velvet material. Excellent embroidery. Great classy color. Fits my oversized noggin.

I ordered this cap for my father, who is approaching retirement. It arrived earlier than expected, which was wonderful; dad pulled it out and smirked a little, went and put on his new red pajamas, and sat down to watch vintage Charlie Chan mysteries for the evening. The cap is warm, fits perfectly, and is exquisite in both the detail of the embroidery and the texture of the velvet. Dad has since worn it every single evening as he winds down, and each time gets a smile when he puts it on. I could not be happier with this cap: exactly what I was hoping for, and then some!

This was a Christmas present for my dad who collects hats- he absolutely loved this one! The shipping was quicker than expected and arrived as expected. The only problem was the sizing- I had to order a medium for a size 57cm hat and I could have definitely sized down due to the nature of the hat. My dad likes it all the same- nothing a quick stitch can't fix. Will probably order another for myself or siblings!

Top notch smoking cap, just Like Sherlock Holmes had.

If you do the research, even in today's acrimonious society, there is room for something of another era when gentlemen knew how to be a gentleman. Plus, if you're a wee bit shy in the hair department, it really does help to "warm up" the dome without suffocating it.

Great quality for the price.

I love this hat and it gets a lot of attention

An excellent soft, comfy cap. Perfect for a relaxing evening of reading in a drafty house. An elegant addition to my smoking jacket. I don’t smoke, I just like the velvet jacket

The Smoking Cap is one of two hats I purchased for my costume as Fagin in a local community theater production of "Oliver!" It looks and fits great - very comfortable. And the quality is excellent. In fact, it looked so elegant that it had to be distressed somewhat to go with the costume. But even after that, it still looks great and there is no doubt that I will continue wearing it on other special occasions in the future!

Couldn't asked for better

I'm really loving my new embroidered cap...very high quality, great fit, and is the perfect accessory for my costume. As with most photos of items on an online catalog...the photo doesn't really show the detail or quality of this cap. Very happy with this item...and as always, great service from the good folks at Historical Emporium.

Great find. Well made, good price and just what I've been looking for.

Great smoking cap

...i purchased this smoking cap because it is difficult finding an embroidered one at a good price. ...........this did not disappointed............ ...........the quality was great...........the fit was great.......the price was great.....

This smoking fez is just what I wanted. While it is whimsical and an 'extravagance' it brings me great joy as I wear it nightly at cocktail hour. The quality is high and the fit is perfect. If you feel the itch for something fun and good looking, scratch that itch with this fez!

but I wanted a collapsible top hat but this is a good example of the top hat!!! I just wanted a collapsible top hat because my grandfather had a collapsible top hat when I grew up and I used it like a toy not knowing that he actually wore it

Hat fits perfectly and I look great in it

Very high quality top hat that was delivered in a box commensurate to it's size. I had ordered two other hats from a different company and they were both crushed because of the small boxes they were packed in. This top hat and quick delivery was absolutely with the money. Looking forward to other Victorian purchases!!

The outfit is for a Youtube channel, but I've always wanted a nice top hat anyway.

Love my.Top Hat and I look forward to wearing it for a Dickens event at the Boston Athenaeum

I tend to dress archaically daily. Depending on what I'm wearing people call me: the mad hatter, Col. Sanders, Dr. Who, the Monopoly Man, the Joker, the Penguin-- the list goes on. I own several Derbies, top hats and Fedoras. I shop for clothing at thrift stores, flea markets and online. Shopping online is a gamble. I've never been cheated at Historical Emporium, where, like Sam Colt said, "All goods worth the price asked." Thank you for being fair.

Historic tour of Granbury TX

I was amazed at how well this hat was built worth the price of admission

I have always wanted a Top Hat. I purchased the Wahmaker Highland Frock Coat and have worn it to Court (I'm a lawyer). When it came time for the annual reading of the Declaration of Independence at the Court House, I knew I had to wear my frock coat, but wanted a quality Top Hat that didn't look cheap. I ordered the Victorian Top Hat, the quality is amazing. The hat looks very nice and I intend to wear it occasionally come Winter. If you are needing a hat for a Victorian impression, I highly recommend this hat.

I'd been wanting a top hat for many years. I kept looking for one at hat shops - most don't carry top hats - and when I would find one, they never had them in my size, the shape seemed off or the quality was really not up to par. I am thrilled with the hat I received from Historical Emporium. The quality is great, it's a perfectly shaped top hat and the fit is perfect. This is the second time I've ordered from Historical Emporium and will definitely not be the last!

This hat far exceeds my expectation. it is well built and beautiful. for the price you can not go wrong.

Great quality and awesome price! Gifted this hat to my Masonic husband for Father's Day and he loves it!

This top hat is absolutely beautiful and the quality is amazing. The sizing is perfect. I would recommend this hat to anyone. The shipping time was great.

I usually wouldn't buy something like this but I figured, "what the Hell, might last me awhile". Indeed, I'm glad I bought this product cause of how nice the quality is and I'm looking forward to further purchases.

Stylin'

As advertised. I needed it quick so I called customer support. Item was delivered quickly.

I'll wear this onstage proudly

Masquerade Ball

To wear with my western wedding tuxedo.

Vest was a little snug..... should have ordered the next size up. But it still looks AWESOME!!!! Love the way it looks... especially over a black shirt. Had to call customer service cause the pockets were 3/4 sewn up... did not know the maker did that for shipping purpose and they told me just to snip the thread.... and behold a full pocket.

The Vest fit nicely even under the coat and looked really sharp over the shirt.

Beautiful Vest. Looks as good as I hoped! I am using it when I drive my horse-drawn carriage.

This vest was just what I had been looking for. I am glad I stumbled upon their website ( Very nice site, I might add) a quick transaction and delivery within a week, I will agree with another reviewer to order up one size, this vest runs a little small. I sent mine back and they replaced it with the larger size , they had it back to me in no time!

I had previously ordered another Klondike Vest (Red) and it fit according to the size specified. The silver one seemed to run small so I have returned it for an exchange of a larger size. The color and fabric were as stated. I truly am enjoying the first one I ordered so I am looking forward to receiving the new one.

This vest looked sharp, and fit very well. Ordered a XLT, and was grateful for the nice selection of Tall sizes.

Pros-Beautiful pattern design for vest. Nice Weight. Made Well. Cons-Not true to measurement. Husband is 48", Vest measured 2" smaller. If you are long waisted you may want to consider the item in a Tall. Returned and will order a size larger in a Tall.

I think the title says it all. This vest is amazing. Great color. Strong addition to the wardrobe. Provides multiple options for neck wear.

Fits perfectly. Very stylish.

The Klondike silver vest is very stylish, looks very classy on, it's great for a dressy occasion. Would recommend this colour and style.

A quality upgrade from the normally seen "Police Braces" which reenacters have been using for the past 60 years. These kind of suspenders can be used for any occasion.

Even though people shouldn't see the suspenders of a proper gentleman, you'll know how dapper you are when you wear these with fancy pants and a tie. Works well for an Earp or Holiday kit, or if you just want to play a railroad tycoon. I matched mine up with tuxedo pants to portray an Englishman or a butler.

I haven't worn suspenders before. These were easy to put on my pants and to adjust the fit.

First pair of suspenders for me in decades. Perfect fit and necessary for the high waist pants. Functional and yet dressy enough for the 1890's mortician.

Our church is having a black tie affair and I had a suit custom made over 30 years ago styled on this line and I thought it time again.

Exactly what I was looking for.

Gerry nice looking

nice accessory

The suspenders were as advertised, of good quality and of good price.

These suspenders are fantastic! They fit my 5 foot 9 inch frame perfectly and the elastic has just enough give to be very comfortable for all day wear while still keeping my trousers securely in place. The satin material is shiny and smooth, giving a sleek, upper-class look that is a finishing touch on a Black Tie affair or just a casual Victorian Stroll in Saratoga Springs. I love these braces.

At the ripe young age of 42, this is honestly my first serious pair of suspenders (that weren't clip-on and mock-ups of the ones Robin Williams wore on Mork & Mindy). Combined with a proper set of trousers, I felt way too comfortable. I need more of these in my life. These are worn underneath of the waistcoat so nobody really gets to see them... except my wife as I'm taking all of the layers off. And she seems to think they look really fine on me. As far as I'm concerned, that's the final word.

Love them, fit great, look great.

They look well made, and cost much less then in department stores. I having tried them on yet.

great place to buy from allclothes i buy here also fit great

Very good pocket watch. One of the finest affordable accessories a lucky one could wear!

I purchased this watch for my husband and he absolutely loves it. It is well worth the money.

Worked with Historical Emporium before, always a class act. Love my watch, exactly what I wanted.

The weight feel and look I was expecting in a well made watch

The watch works perfectly. It is well packaged and was protected during shipping. It is a joy to carry and use. The skeleton dial can be a bit distracting and can make it difficult to discern the hour hand in some positions. It may just be a matter of acclimation. I was glad to find this available.

Got this watch for my son in law. He has started wearing pocket watches a year ago. He has three now and shows them off at every chance he gets. Loves the style and color.

Bought this to complete my look for my wedding. Such a beautiful piece I ended up carrying it everyday. It's gorgeous and keeps perfect time.

charles hubert makes gorgeous pocket watches, very reminiscent of the victorian period. this one is beautiful and large, with an easy to read face. it keeps excellent time. the embossed designs on the front and back make it stand out, and also it resists fingerprinting. any pocket watch by charles hubert makes a lovely gift, or heirloom. it's fantastically rare to find something like this of real quality, that was not made in china.

I got this pocket watch for my boyfriend as a graduation present! He absolutely loves it! The window where you can see the gears is an awesome touch. I had hopes to get it engraved but there isn't really room with the design on the front and back. Other than that though I couldn't be happier--and neither could he!

Excellent product! Love, love, love it.

Very accurate timepiece. Looks great! Very classy.

MY SON GOT IT FOR HIS BROTHER'S 21ST BIRTHDAY AND HAD IT ENGRAVED. WHAT A WONDERFUL MEMORABLE KEEPSAKE! IT IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. THANK YOU.

I am utterly pleased with my purchasse! This pocketwatch is a truly awesome gift. The pictures do not do it justice. Also, kudos to Historical Emporium for a smooth transaction. I got the correct item, in the time that I expected to have it. I look forward to buying from your store again!

Quality watch! I bought it for my boyfriend as a gift and he absolutely loved it! Body is very sturdy, not to mention gorgeous! Chain is a good length and the packaging is very well-put together. Front has a good space to engrave initials or a small symbol. Crisp, clear tick can be heard up close. Winds once a day.A truly beautiful piece!!

I live in Vancouver, Canada; and I was looking for classic pocket watches as gifts and fashion pieces for my best men at my wedding. My (now) wife and I planned a 30's/40's style wedding and I wanted my men to look the part with a classic pocket watch. I looked all over the city and couldn't find a set of 4 within any kind of reasonable price range, until I found this online store. It saved me, the watches are beautiful and were delivered so quickly I was suprised. I haven't stopped wearing mine since my wedding day, and my men were so impressed and thankful for such a beautiful gift. Thank you for being out there Historical Emporium and Gentlemen's Shop.

Great fit and color

Everything good about the shirt. The good thing about the band collar shirts is that they work so easily with bandanas. The bandanas lay just right when there is no collar in the way. All good!

You will not get a better value

The shirt is well made and was represented accurately online.

Great shirt, works well with Steampunk! Soft cotton and fits very well.

Awesome shade with extremely comfortable cotton and stitching. I wear it all the time.Going to get some of the other colors.

Very good quality. Fits perfectly thanks to the sizing guide.

Some week ago, I received my latest order, the Chocolate-colored Fundamental Work Shirt. What can I say, no loss in quality regarding this item, on the contrary in fact. The fabric feels terrific when I wear the shirt. It has a warm brown color, which actually isn't done justice in the pics online. I'll definitely order some more colors of this shirt.

The fundamental work shirt fits great and gives a great look and feel for the Steampunk Victorian look I needed. I am very happy with the shirt I purchased.

Great old west shirt. Awesome work and fit. Would recommend this company to anyone looking for good quality and price.

Very comfortable, only have one wish that there was a pocket on this or a similar type shirt.

This is a very well made shirt i will be buying more in the future.

lots of compliments, might as well send a few dozen business cards. everyone wants to know where i got the shirt, tired of writing it down for them.

This is a work of art, beautifully tailored and I am impressed by how supple the material is, I thought it would be stiff and need to be washed several times. And the color is very rich. Highly recommend this item.
