The gaiters I purchased will be just right for wearing with my Victorian style boots, especially with skirts shorter than ankle-length. They will help keep my legs warm during our cold winters, and I love that they are reversible!
They had the items I needed for a local music theatre production of Young Frankenstein. Items purchased were of excellent quality, reasonable prices, reasonable shipping costs, and fast shipping. My first experience with Gentleman's Emporium was a positive one.
I enjoyed every aspect of shopping at Historical Emporium. I loved the full outfits to choose from, the huge selection, the fast delivery, and the customer pictures (really helpful!). Everything about my shopping experience here was great. Thank you!
The phone service and mail time was super, but felt the cost was a tad high, but not unreasonable. Would be nice if a bustle pad was included in the pricing.
You need to expand your selections on blouses...materials and styles. Three-quarter sleeves for 1880-1890's would be nice, with some light-weight fabrics.
Hats also need to be more selective for the ladies...
Overall, I do love your "store" and will certainly order again in the future!
I had ordered 3 white and 1 red shirt for a costume I regularly wear because they were on sale. I had already had great experiences with Historical Emporium, so I watch their website for items I'm interested in. In this case, I received a message that they only had 2 white shirts left at the sale price. I talked with customer service and changed my order over the phone to 2 white and 2 red. The order arrived a day earlier than expected, too!
Wow, what a fantastic experience. I miss measured for my gun belt, Historical Emporium went out of their way to help me with my return and get the correct size belt. The quality and workmanship of my new belt and holster exceeded all of my expectations. Emails were returned within hours, not days. Larry D.
Great value, great offerings, and fantastic customer service. Realised I had ordered wrong size on Sunday, sent email on Monday morning, received response in minutes confirming change to correct size, order shipped in afternoon, and I received two days later. Who can ask for anything more?
I really like the products no question at all. Price is fair, products well made and very fast service... Two shirts I got were tighter than I like but they were the largest size offered and I like them so time for me to loosed a couple inches. Will be ordering more in the future.
I was really happy with the whole experience. Good selection of garments, well made and just what I was hoping for.
Service was prompt and really fast delivery considering I live halfway around the world from you guys.
What's not to like about that. Thanks again.
Size 12 full leather riding boots were out of stock. I inquired if I could try a 13 and return if they did not fit. A quick response "yes, no problem." Boots arrived and fit well with a natural felt insert. Would highly recommend this company.
The Winfield vests are very well made with quality wool and sturdy cotton. My vests fit very well and wear them at work all the time. They have a distinguished look. I would like to see an all wool version of Winfield Wool Tweed vests, it is on my wish list. By far the best selection of vests on the internet. The sizes available and sizing information is extremely useful in getting the correct size. I have been perusing the store for my next purchase.
The swimsuit will be used for a joke and, later, with my clown supplies. It is much lighter than I expected and is probably more along the lines of a costume than practical sportswear. You may want to look into offering a one-piece jumper with buttons.
I'm completely satisfied with my order. The order arrived within 4 days of purchase & is quite possibly; the best, and most comfortable dress shirt I've ever purchased. 100% satisfied and will definitely order from again. Every part of the transaction went smoothly. You guys rock!
I ordered a man's cutaway tails and pants suit and then a high collar shirt and tie within the last couple of weeks. They arrived promptly, were of excellent quality and correctly sized. I have ordered from you before and all of my transactions with your company have been pleasurable. I am a very satisfied customer abd will definitely be doing business with you again.
This site was recommended by a fellow Model T owner as a good place to get period clothing and he was right! I am absolutely totally satisfied with my purchase and I can't believe how fast I received my order. I would highly recommend the Emporium.
Your items are really good. I do appreciate them in terms of quality, and looking. This just takes me back to my classic style that I value. The shipping and handling process was excellent. Anyone who really is a man of taste will never hesitate to go for your items that are unique. Good job!
The hat sizes seem to run a bit big for 79 bucks. On the other hand, that's cheaper than even 50% beaver felt. But the problem was handled well and I got the right size hat promptly. Refund took a bit longer, but not bad time-wise. Well made otherwise. Customer service was prompt and courteous.
Recently I've had some sizing issues, but as with clothing you buy anywhere, there are variations. However, dealing with customer service is easy and pleasant. They really do understand that buying by mail can be tough, and they do what they can, within reason, to make the customer happy. These guys are among the best I've dealt with, service-wise, and the product quality is high.
I am involved with competitive Chuck Wagon cooking. One of the requirements is to dress in trail drive period clothing. I have ordered several items from Western Emporium and find the items period correct, of high quality, and reasonable price. I will order additional items as the need arises. A great place to do business.
I am doing a mad scientist/ Frankenstein lab theme Halloween & the antique style white lab coat is perfect. I added a white scrub cap for a House on Haunted Hill look & long black rubber gloves & apron for a period horror film feel. Quality of coat was way better than expected & fit perfectly. I am quite pleased with with this purchase. Thanks!
