I read the reviews before purchasing. The reviews stated that the garments ran a size larger. I read where some customers were unhappy because they did indeed run larger to size. So, I ordered the next size smaller than I normally wear. I also looked at the sizing chart. Yet, when I rec'd the 2 garments, even a smaller size, they were still too BIG. Not even close. Very loose. I have sent them back and requested the next size smaller. Which is the only size left to me actually. What was disappointing was though I was substituting the sizes, you do not have free return shipping. I was dismayed to have to pay more money. $18.35. Most any company today offers free return shipping. To have it altered was not a choice, as the garments would have not lined up very well and the cost would have been around $55. I feel I did plenty research before choosing the size that should have fitted me. When the sizing is incorrect due to clothier, they/you should pay for shipping. At least a credit or shipping refund. The clothing was as described and well-made and I was not disappointed in their appearance.

I found what I needed on their web page. That was hard to do only because there was a lot of choices, but after I decided I ordered and the package arrived that same week. The company did send me a message to confirm I received the package and thank me for my purchase. As for the product it was of good quality and with expected alterations it fit great. I have done historical reenactments for over 20 years, and this company has historically accurate clothing.

I have ordered a holster/w 357 belt, a cross draw Holster and they are awesome. More than I expected. Then I ordered a 22 belt and ordered the wrong size. I followed the return procedure and could not believe how fast they sent me the correct belt. Even tho the wrong size was my fault.

I enjoyed

My green Vaughan waistcoat was a little snug, returned for next size. Return instructions were clear and easy to follow. Although I am on the opposite side of the U.S., received my replacement one week from when I started the process. Exceptional service.

vest is excellent, fits well and is on par with most of the others across the world that I checked out before my purchase from Historical Emporium. It could be worn in the U.S. West, on horseback or in a saloon, even in the halls of Parliament, it's that good. Now have to find a suit that complements the vest!
