I ordered two men's shirts and two lady's blouses
September 7, 2016

I ordered two men's shirts and two lady's blouses. The style of all the items purchased works well for our Cemetery Walk characters. The orders arrived very quickly and everything was as I expected. If I have any complaint at all, it is that the items are priced a little higher than I wanted to pay. However, that being said, all items work for their intended purpose and fit as expected. So, paying a little more may be worth it.

I did a lot of searching on the internet for a six-gun belt and holster and Western Emporium was the best bang for the buck!

Excellent customer service! Shipping was very fast! Product exactly as described.

The leather strap that mates with the buckle could be just a little thicker. I am concerned that it may wear down and break over time but compared to the price of my alternative options I am very satisfied with this product.

I purchased a vest from your website for my wedding after looking at many other sites as well as many brick and mortar stores. Delivery was very fast. I loved the vest. My bride loved it. And countless others remarked on how extraordinary they thought it was. Thank you for a helping to make our fantastic day just that much more fantastic!

Ordering was easy, my Fall Front Trousers were shipped promptly and arrived before the time I needed them.
The material was excellent and well-made. They fit like a glove with only minor hemming which I expected.
I will order again!

My order got here quick and product was pretty nice. I have a problem with the cost to ship. Kinda steep. I ordered clothes for my son using your EXACT measuring guidelines. Sizing was WAY different from this order to similar order last year. I ended up paying 50 bucks in shipping and return fees on both orders. VERY FRUSTRATED! Will probably not order again because of this. Otherwise satisfied,so a shame,really!

The service from Historical Emporium is outstanding. I have contacted them regarding sizing on a number of purchases and they have spent the time to really be of help. They always remind me that the products are returnable, but with the help of their service department, I have been able to select the size and quality that met my needs so nothing has gone back. I have purchased pants, boots and accessories and each has been as expected or better. With the selection available, that is no small complement.

I was in a time crunch, and ordered an outfit for rush delivery. Historical Emporium met my needs and sent the outfit right away. Through no fault of their own, it didn't fit. They took it back for a full refund without question. The event I had planned will be repeated next year. I will definitely use Historical Emporium for my future needs...but will plan my sizing more appropriately!

Hi
March 12, 2015

Hi
many thanks for providing a professional service. However my concern is that I bought three vests which were made by different manufacturer and the sizes were not the same: one was smaller than the other two and one was a little larger. I had to have them altered to fit more neatly. However I am satisfied with the products as I could not find anything like them elsewhere.

This was not my first purchase from your firm, and is not likely to be my last. Your prices are more than reasonable for the quality products i have received. Your shipping is prompt, and your selection of the eclectic
Is unmatched. I especially like that i need only look in one place, without spending hours on the web trying to find the vintage style which i frequently require.

Everything that I have purchased from here so far has outreached my expectations! The delivery of the product is very fast and everything has been packaged well and arrived in great condition. The quality of the items is much more than I actually expected and the prices are extremely reasonable for what you receive! I know some people that are going to love their gifts this Christmas! Thank you!

Marie in Customer Service, responded right away to a size question I had before placing my order. When trying to deal with another company, I could find absolutely no way to contact a real person and get help beyond FAQ's, so a point in your favor. Also, I needed my order quickly and was concerned about the indefinite time frame indicated on the website. Once again, Marie responded to my email immediately, giving me a more specific time frame that allowed me to place my order with confidence. The blouse arrived on time and was the perfect addition to my Clara Barton costume. Hooray! My only criticism is what I consider an excessive fee for expedited delivery. $36 for an order of $81 still seems unreasonable to me.

Great customer service, fast and polite
October 13, 2016

Great customer service, fast and polite. Speedy shipping. Love the hat. This is actually the second one that I have purchased from Gentleman's Emporium. The first one was the grey tweed. Both well made of quality material.
I think these are as well made and as stylish as others at three times the price. Would definitely do business again.

I can not remember how many items I have ordered from Historical Emporium, but it has been a number of them and as of yet have not had any issues with anything I have purchased. Everything is of really good quality and well made. So far sizing has been accurate as pe the charts. Will continue to shop here.

This is going to sound a little odd because it's not something you hear anymore. But... This product was actually better quality and better all around then they advertised or then I expected. I am a repeat customer several times over and it seems as though the product and service gets better with each purchase. I know...hard to believe.

Outstanding customer service
July 20, 2017

Outstanding customer service. The very helpful young lady on the phone who took my order even went through stock for me to pick out the darkest wood stain from the batch of canes they had in stock.

Thank you very much, I'm very happy with my purchase.

Delivery was very quick; however, I misunderstood the sizing chart and had to return it. This was handled very promptly and again, delivery was fast. I suggest, like other people have said, you should order two sizes bigger than your waist size. Very happy with my purchase!

Love Historical Emporium
August 17, 2017

Love Historical Emporium. I've been ordering from them for more than 10 years. However, my biggest complaint is with the products particularly the vest buttons. The vest buttons are so poorly sewn on that I loose at least one button on every vest I purchase. It's frustrating.

Dealing with the Emporium was a delightful pleasure. I worked with Eve who made some excellent recommendations and was very knowledgeable about the products. All promises exceeded expectations. Packages arrived on time. The clothing is well made and comfortable. You have earned my trust and future business.

Fantastic communication, and I appreciate that an effort was made to allow me to continue with the purchase. The only issue I have is that when you order from overseas, the incredibly overpriced postage that is standard makes many things too expensive if they are shipped direct.
