I am delighted to find someone who can fill my needs. The quality of their clothing is wonderful. I will continue to purchase at Gentleman's Emporium.As a musician, I meet many people and will definitely tell others about this great store.
I love this place! I buy so much from them! As someone who regularly dresses in Victorian style I am so happy to have found this site a few years ago, and have recommended it to many people since then. My absolute favourite and go-to 'off the rack' store. Look forward to doing more business with you shortly
I don't know if it is just because you are sort of local to me or what, but your stuff gets to me like amazon prime! Thanks for a lovely Christmas gift for a guy who simply outgrew his other vest--lol!
I needed to put together a costume appropriate to play a butler in a community theatre production, and found items that did nicely at Gentlemen's Emporium. The shopping experience was smooth, customer info was maintained throughout the order and delivery process. I like the clothing very much and my director was very impressed. Prices for the items could perhaps be better, but then again, you don't find these type of specialty items just anywhere. Overall, a good value and excellent customer service. Will definitely shop GE again!
We own a wagon and go on organized trail rides, parades and just around town. People come out to see us all dressed up and riding down their streets, now we will look even better thanks to you. I called customer service about the ladies boots and they were polite and answer my questions. Also going to Tombstone this summer where visitors come dressed and stroll down the wooden side walks.
Customer service is great. I emailed several questions and received fast, thoughtful responses. Delivery was fast, as was processing of my returns.
My main difficulty was sizing. The charts just don't really reflect whether an item will fit, and returns cost money. I also wish there were more items in non-historically-accurate permanent-press fabrics. The details in this type of clothing make ironing a real pain.
I have nothing but positive things to say about my shopping experience. Shipping was lightning fast. Products were well packaged and quality was outstanding, especially for the price. I did have to return a couple items because I ordered the wrong size (my bad). One item was out of stock and might not be restocked so if you want something, don't wait like I did! Order it before it's gone forever! I've already placed a second order and a third one is in the works. Great service. Great products. Great company. A++++
I needed a left handed pistol belt and I found exactly what I was looking for on your site...although this is not the first time I have ordered from you guys. I could not believe how fast it showed up at the door. Good quality, excellent service, great website. Thank you so much. Keep it up. Look forward to doing more business with you all.
Fast and easy. The sale came up, I checked it out and liked the items. Somewhat cautious of buying clothing online, but the experience was great! I chose XL which is a bit too big, but I can have the vests altered to fit. Didn't contact customer service for a return since you sent what I ordered! Next time, I"ll do a large. However, I am very pleased with your service.
I ordered the commissioner frock coat according to their pure measurement sizing chart and it was way too large. Someone (maybe Melissa?) took my phone call, heard my complaint, took some coats off the rack, physically measured them and sent me a link to paid postage for an exchange. Oh, and she was friendly too! What fantastic service.
I, Estelle had to portray a gentleman from the 1800's at an Historian event. It was a difficult task, but Gentleman's Emporium came through with it quality products. Not only did I make a hit, it was very authentic looking. I can't thank them enough for helping me pull it off. Great review on my attire and impression!
I'd rate my shopping experience with Historical Emporium six stars but that's not an option. Great selection and perfect suggestions on creating that timeless ensemble. I had a couple questions that required contacting them and they provided personal service to make sure I was completely happy with my purchase. I will definitely shop with them in the future.
Prior to ordering on-line, I called to confirm if I ordered a separate holster for a longer barrel (6-8") revolver, would I be able to swap it onto the belt portion of a similar-but-shorter (4-6") Gun Belt & Holster combination I also intended to order. I was glad that I called, learning certain models are not built to allow this. Fortunately the models I chose do. The pleasant and helpful reception to my call made me confident I was dealing with a company who cared for its customers. I placed my order, which arrived well within the estimated delivery dates. I'm very pleased with the quality and appearance of both holsters and gun-belt, excellent matches to on-line photos, being.44/.45 cal RH Draw Black Tooled Leather.
I came upon your site by accident. My husband and I celebrate Halloween in a big way - we plan ahead and our front yard is spooky! This year, I chose to be a zombie in your "Victorian Walking Outfit" then realized that I forgot the "Fingerless Gloves." Everything in my orders were great. Thank you for having such an eclectic assortment.
Customer service was great, if a bit slow. However, they made every effort to make up for any issues from the delay. My only complaint is that some of the sizing/measurement info on certain items needs to be revisited. A few items came in larger than expected when following the sizing guides. Also, beware of some overpricing. Some items can be attained elsewhere at slightly lower prices. Overall though, good place to get the style of items they provide.
I was pleased on all counts. The size guide was quite good, the product it self is of course still new but appears well made and is just about exactly what was represented. The packaging for shipping was also well done, very much handled with care and designed to arrive in excellent condition. In addition, I had several conversations with Marie at customer service who was responsive, rapid, and knowledgeable. I must admit I didn't know what to expect, but you only have so much competition for smoking jackets so I figured give it a whirl and I have to say really delivered all around. Thank you and I will most probably be back.
Very impressed with the quality and service. Inventory is amazing. Expected more "costume" products but these products are just top notch. We will definitely be shopping this site again.
My only problem is that the clothes run a bit small. Returns could also be made a bit easier AKA Amazon.
While searching for clothing patterns from the turn of the century, i ran across your on-line shop that provided such garments at a reasonable cost. Your page was easy to navigate and very user friendly. I am very pleased with my purchases and look forward to more in the future. Thank You so much!
This item was well made, the correct fit for my gun, and looks great! I can't say enough about how pleased I am! I have no issues regarding colour runs etc., and would and do recommend your products to anyone looking for a good buy at the right price. Last words...don't change a thing!
I ordered a chocolate brown tooled leather right hand draw holster for my father in law. He absolutely loves it. He was also impressed with the thank you card that came in the box. You all went above and beyond. I highly recommend your company and services. Thanks again for making such beautiful products.
Answer: This is definitely a legit company. I ordered clothing from them on a Tuesday and 80% of it arrived on Friday - 3 days later.
Answer: When I call, they answer the phone on the second ring - a REAL person asnwers. Just remember they are Pacific time!
Answer: Not less expensive, but other companies have much better quality, and not so vague on the descriptions
