Great place to shop
May 8, 2015

Great place to shop. We had a deliver issue (lost product). This was not Historical Emporium's fault, but they sent a replacement item ASAP with no questions asked and to extra charges. That's customer service!

Also the holster... grade A quality. Extremely happy and would definitely purchase from them again.

I have read a lot about gentlemansemporium.com's service prior to ordering from them and what I got was even more than I had expected! I have never ever been treated so thoroughly, the people working there are not just artificially courteous, they are really friendly, helpful and make sure their customers are overall happy. I was happy indeed, they took their time to advise me and I knew I was welcome and they were really interested in my issues.
Their website has a clear lay-out, is easy to handle and they provide all the information you may not even think you might be interested in at first. I had to get used to their sizing tables in the beginning, having ordered a size to big on some items. Historical Emporium, however, went through all sizing matters with me on the phone and sent me replacements that now fit perfectly. I would advise everybody interested in ordering from gentlemansemporium.com to go through sizing on each item thoroughly. If you get that right you will be more than happy with the items.
One thing I love about the trousers is that they come extra long so you can have them tailored to your liking. Great idea that surely reduces sizing issues.
The items themselves are marvellous. Great quality and wonderfully luxurious looks for a reasonable price. Only shipping was quite expensive, but I am sure they do not have much influence on that. I should add that I am living in Europe, and shipping from the States to Europe is even more expensive, BUT it is totally worth it. Never seen any such products to similarly decent prices over here.
I will definitely order from gentlemansemporium.com again! I got pretty good feedback on all occasions I wore my new gentleman's attire and mind, I have a good number of items on my wish list for my future orders! Highly recommended overall!

I've ordered from Gentleman's Emporium a number of times over the years and I've always been happy with the quality and pricing of everything I've purchased. The delivery is always swift and everything is always well packaged and arrives without damage. So far, I've never needed to call customer service for a return but I have no doubt they would be most pleasant to work with. They are outstanding people to buy from.

I did not think you would have anything that would fit a fat old man, but, I get this email back, showing me the sizes that would fit me! Very nice, very professional, and I am very happy

I am director of a small community theatre, and I have bought your products for the last several years. I have not found a better site for affordable, high quality period costumes.

The website is easy to navigate and this company has a wide variety of products for the western re-enactor to browse through. I'll be ordering more in the near future.
