The two most recent purchases from H.E. were shelf brackets to install some porch railings, and a Vest, to wear with my kilt coat and kilt. An historical note, the Victorian Era was both the beginning and the High Water Mark of the modern day kilt and its accessories. So, the BEST place to buy cloating for kilt wear is a firm like Historical Emporium. All the products I have bought from here, have been first rate, just the few and or odd item detail a 'bit off' (such as very soft metal in the screws of the brackets]. Not any of the 'off items' detract nor nullifiy the value and use of the Item. A very fine place to shop for these sorts of items, if you are an antique house owner, 'cosplay' artist, or a person fed up with 'modern fashions' and suits that look like you are an undertaker by trade. There is nothing quite like attending a formal event in a ruby coloured velvet doublet and kilt, that in a room full of 'penguins'. Or attending church in a full frock ditto suit/ or ladies attire, which this tailor has the sense not to comment on!

I love Historical Emporium. I have always had a victorian sense of style and after years of piecing together my look from the meager findings in the mainstream retail world, I finally have found MY STORE! I feel like I have come home after years of wandering. I wear Historical Emporium clothing as part of my everyday wardrobe. Their prices are very reasonable; the quality of their clothing is excellent; the shipping time is phenomenal and the the customer service is outstanding! I plan on being a loyal customer for many years to come!

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.

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. Timely communication and fast shipping are nothing less than perfect. Thank you customer service team for you hard work!!!!
