I needed the blouse quickly
September 18, 2019

I needed the blouse quickly. In fact I ordered it fearing it would not come in time for my event. The delivery showed up with ample time to spare. Much appreciated!

Great sale price on the canvas pants and fast service. Didn't have to wait for weeks for a pair of pants to wear for our local Living History event.

The hat sizes seem to run a bit big for 79 bucks
September 16, 2019

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.

We will be using the straw boater in a museum display in the Mark Twain Birthplace State Historic Site. We will be featuring a first edition book of Mark Twain's Life on the Mississippi. Illustrations in the book show that he wore a straw boater as a cub pilot on the steamboats he worked on.

I did the other Product Survey, and you lost it as soon as I finished. You then asked me to do another, but I am fresh out of survey ambition. Thank you!

The two most recent purchases from H.E
September 12, 2019

The two most recent purchases from H.E. Were shelf brackets to install some porch railings, and a Vest, to wear with my kilt coat and kilt. An historical note, the Victorian Era was both the beginning and the High Water Mark of the modern day kilt and its accessories. So, the BEST place to buy cloating for kilt wear is a firm like Historical Emporium. All the products I have bought from here, have been first rate, just the few and or odd item detail a 'bit off' (such as very soft metal in the screws of the brackets]. Not any of the 'off items' detract nor nullifiy the value and use of the Item. A very fine place to shop for these sorts of items, if you are an antique house owner, 'cosplay' artist, or a person fed up with 'modern fashions' and suits that look like you are an undertaker by trade. There is nothing quite like attending a formal event in a ruby coloured velvet doublet and kilt, that in a room full of 'penguins'. Or attending church in a full frock ditto suit/ or ladies attire, which this tailor has the sense not to comment on!

I am disappointed that when the purchase price reaches a certain level that shipping is not included. I was also disappointed that some of the items I wanted were not available. The Customer Service Rep was technically correct but wasn't very nice.

The products were well received

This hat is well constructed
September 6, 2019

This hat is well constructed. It is however, a bit heavier than I expected, I can adapt.Overall I am quite well satisfied with this hat, and I do receive many compliments on it.
