I adore Historical Emporium! This site is the best clothing site I've ever come across. I want to stress, I am not shopping here for costumes! This is quality apparel and I wear my purchases from Historical Emporium as part of my daily dress. I have always had a Victorian fashion sense and for years had to piece together waistcoats and sports coats that had a vintage feel to them. Finally, I have a place I can shop that carries the exact fashion I am looking for--no more piecing together whatever I can happen to find from the boring, retail men's fashion scene that pushes a drab, uniform look onto the modern male. Thank-you Historical Emporium; I am a customer for life!

I was in a last minute rush to get a new Victorian Era outfit. I called on a Monday and spoke with Meghan. She was extremely helpful in figuring out the correct sizes for the blouse and skirt I wanted. The blouse was a bit tight but I let out the darts and it fit better. The skirt was perfect. Meghan assured me that I would receive my outfit in plenty of time for my Friday deadline. They arrived on Wednesday which did give me time to make the adjustments on the blouse. Meghan was wonderful, polite, friendly, professional and extremely helpful. I highly recommend Historical Emporium for the service, quality of their clothing and speedy delivery. I will definitely order from them again.

I was the BEST dressed Victorian gentleman in the play! All commented on how authentic I looked. The women in particular kept glancing my way!

I do a historical impersonation of Minnesota's 1st First Lady, Sarah Sibley, which is given to students at various schools in my area. This year I decided to enhance my costume. First I ordered just the Victorian touring hat. I was so pleased with that purchase I then ordered the black high top shoes and a blouse. All purchases arrived within a few days. The individuals taking my order over the phone were extremely helpful. I am VERY satisfied with my new costume pieces!
