I discovered this store while preparing a program for the local historical society. I was giving a biographical sketch of the founder of our 1887 school from his viewpoint. So I decided to give the presentation as if he himself were speaking. I discovered this site while searching for appropriate period clothing. The clothes are quality clothes and now I have a victorian suit that with a few mix and matches can be used for multiple historical personages as well as formal occasions.

We ordered the item well in advance of the need so my husband has not actually worn it yet, however, we are very happy with the service experience. We received what we ordered, earlier than promised, in great condition. It looks just as portrayed on-line and appears to be well made. The fabric might be a tad more theatrical looking than we prefer but we were forewarned since the description said for a "Showman" kind of look. It was very nice that it came with two forms of neck ties, however, we tend to use his vests for Victorian evening wear so we will get a cravat to wear with it to be more authentic, but he may someday have some call to use the other two forms of neck ties. We have no complaint about the ties because, we knew exactly what we were getting from the pictures and description.

We are repeat customers to Historical Emporium. My 6ft 6in son is one that marches to the beat of his own drum a far as style. He loves the Victorian Gentleman style (wishes top hats and great coats would come back in style ). Anyway, we have purchased multiple items over the years and have been very satisfied with quality, service, and delivery each time. We have needed to exchange a couple of items simply for size reasons, and the service and fast exchange and assistance we have received is wonderful. We will continue to be loyal customers. :)

Historical Emporium has an amazing selection of items, rather you are looking for something simple as boots to a full Victorian dress outfit. There is always something for everyone. There customer service is excellent. Communication is key. Customers want to talk to a real person and know they are being valued. Historical Emporium does not disappoint.
