I needed a Ferndale vest to go with the Ferndale pants I already have. Love the look & quality! Had to order a large as Med were out of stock & get it taken in. Then I noticed lots of things were outa stock. Demand is high so I'll def make sure I check before ordering & not wait till last minute. Glad you guys exist!

Made an error when selecting the size, and emailed customer service to see if it could be resolved. I received a reply in less than 24 hours (even though my original email was sent on a Sunday), and my mistake was quickly fixed. I also received my package over a week before the estimated delivery date. Best customer service I've ever had from an online store!

Got the correct item, correct size and delivery on time. Quality of products was very good and as represented in the ads. None of my items had to be returned or exchanged so I had no need for interaction with humans, but contact info was given to me to facilitate this if needed. Very satisfied customer here.

My order was taken over the phone
January 4, 2020

My order was taken over the phone. Salesman was professional and knowledgeable. Helped me pinpoint the 'Tom Petty' style I was looking for very quickly. Best of all it was on its way in less than 2 hours!

The black walking skirt and apron are made very well. High quality material and workmanship. Fits well. I received these items in a very timely manner which was much appreciated. I would't hesitate to order from them again.

Fantastic quality product!
March 6, 2019

Fantastic quality product! Looks beautiful, feels great and fits really well. The customer service I received from Janine (I think that was her name) helped me pick the right size. Strongly recommend any leather product from Historical Emporium.

Quality was great on all but the gloves
March 2, 2017

Quality was great on all but the gloves. Too big and cheaply made. Everything else was wonderful but didn't quite work for this costume, or my build. Love your site though-have been searching for stuff like this forever!

We run a business called Live History Productions in Tasmania, Australia. We often need historical costumes for our plays. The Historical Emporium provides quality costumes at reasonable prices and they arrive really quickly despite coming from the U.S.A.

I am very pleased with my purchases
March 12, 2015

I am very pleased with my purchases. I bought a round collar shirt, floppy tie and a cotton vest. I honestly expected theatrical or costume clothing but the products are the best quality and actually better made than what I normally purchase in retail stores. I expect many years of use. I will purchase something else soon.

I've made several purchases recently from gentleman's emporium for a show I'm designing and everything I've received has been delivered quickly and is excellent quality. I will certainly continue to use them as a source for period clothing.

I am very pleased
October 21, 2015

I am very pleased. Prompt delivery of product. Well packaged. Hat seems to be of high quality. A little large, however a little paper placed inside brim band solved. Plan to purchase an entire outfit in near future.

Customer service is great
July 14, 2016

Customer service is great. Products for the most part are as well. I have bought 4 pair of the preacher boots so far and the last pair I bought is the first one's that did not pinch on the left boot requiring me to tape a cotton ball to my foot to "train" the leather. After that they were fine. Oak Tree Farms who make that boot must have up graded quality control; good for them!

Quality of clothes, time of delivery, and overall satisfaction with company are very highly rated. I live in Victorian Cape May and appreciate the availability of clothing to wear when performing house tours, trolley rides and school presentations.

Ideal shopping experience:
March 1, 2019

Ideal shopping experience:

1) I found the specialty items I had been looking for and had wanted to buy for some time.
2) Inquired on particulars by phone and received courteous and accurate information.
3) Received items by priority mail in just a couple days, though I paid only standard shipping.

Excellent! Will be shopping here again soon!

Thanks!
Stephen

Bought two of these canvas work vests; black and dark brown. Bought them a size larger than I am, so that I can have full swing of motion and comfort while sitting without unbuttoning the vest.
They are a little stiff when you first wear them but get more supple over time.
Since it is lined, I would like to have had two inside pockets, but if I really want them, I can add them at little cost. So far, I have not determined I need them

This company has the best customer service I have come across yet for online shopping. When I had a request, someone personally responded to me within a day, and fixed my problem, no questions asked. In addition, the products are excellent quality, durable, and well made. Certainly worth it, and I will be recommending this company to everyone I can.

Your customer service is excellent
June 19, 2014

Your customer service is excellent. I have called a few times and each time the representative is courteous, personable, and helpful. I do wish more retail outfits worked like that. I grew up with that being the norm but these days! I am thrilled to find your store and as soon as I know how stuff shrinks I WILL be ordering more of the Pullovers, they are awesome for my needs.

Read some of the reviews for the coat & contacted customer service to talk with a live person on sizing.
We decided that one of the larger sizes would be best for me, since the coat ran small & I'm large busted. LOL.
Coat arrived with no problems and I received many complements. They only thing I did later was to change out the buttons. They were not to my taste for the style of the coat.
All in all I love the coat & will most likely order from GE again. I also like the fact that I was able to talk with someone before ordering. :)

This is one of those "best kept secret" values
September 1, 2016

This is one of those "best kept secret" values. The quality and craftsmanship of the leather on my holster were exceptional. Have paid a lot more and gotten a lot less for pretty much the same thing. Well worth the money and will be back for more. I ordered a size 40 belt and have a 34 inch waist so a size 38 would have put me in the middle hole but the 40 works. Western Emporium is a pleasure to deal with, value, service, great communication and very fast shipping.
