Excellent speedy service, beautiful product, unfortunately neck size not identified, so adjustments will have to made by dressmaker etc. Given the price paid overall, I have this negative opinion. However the Emporium is a great company and their products unique.
Fantastic customer service! If I need additional information about an item or its availability, they are able to give me all the pertinent details. Large orders have been gathered together and sent out to us with a very quick turnaround time.
Historical Emporium is our go-to resource whenever we need well made, period appropriate costumes for our local theater company. Unlike most online resources, if I submit a 'special instruction' note upon ordering, someone actually reads it and responds with an answer immediately! They have shipped immediately when the item is in stock, have offered great options when there are challenges but always delivered on whatever solution that is agreed. The product quality is superb - worth the price since they wash, wear and last well. We bought the Bard shirt for our tall, long armed Shakespearean actor (who happens to be my son!) and their sizing and descriptions are actually accurate - this in NOT the case with other suppliers! It came as quickly as I needed it - and as promised and was so fantastic, we actually bought another that likewise arrived quickly enough for use during the show run. Terrific! We are very satisfied customers and recommend them highly.
Great hat! They run slightly large. I keep my hair cut short, so if you do just the opposite, you may have no problems. Also, nice to have a product that's made in the USA. Our lives are imported!
Happy Trails,
The website offers a generous selection of period clothing that is functional, attractive, and comfortable. Shipping lead time may raise an eyebrow at first, but deliveries for me were well within the stated timeframe, and typically took 3 days, which was fantastic. They provide sizing recommendations which can be helpful since the form and fit are far from traditional. However, sizing for me reflected modern day fashion much more accurately than what was suggested (which ended up being huge).
We have purchased many items both women's and men's from Historical Emporium over the years. Any time we've contacted customer service they have been professional, helpful and knowledgeable! So rare in today's world!
I was very pleased with the knowledgeable sales person. She was helpful while not pushy. My order arrived one day ahead of schedule. At Christmas time this was a real surprise. West coast to eastern middle America and on my friends doorstep in less than 36 hours!
Excellent products. Some more costume-oriented than for those of us truly interested in classic fashions. For example, where are peak labeled frock coats since this was a formal garment prior to ascendancy of morning coat? No doubt that alternative versions co-existed.
Outstanding in every way. I purchased 6 classic canvas work vests in each color to bring a little more class to the workplace. Fellow staff and customers all have said that they look great. Plastic based fleece is out!
Order process quick and efficient. Almost immediate response to order being placed. Item arrived in 2 days, and is of excellent quality. I've many positive comments already and have a friend who has also ordered one upon seeing me wear mine.
This was my first order, so I wanted to see how well the system worked. Answer: Very well. Descriptions were good, especially about warning if sizes ran small. I'm now very obviously on an email list, but the emails are not a burden. I have already seen some very attractive items that will be future purchases!
Item looks and feels grand! It replaced a burgundy shirt of the exact style. I'm looking to purchasing more items shirts, britches and boots.
I am a volunteer at historic Baker House in Wildwood Florida. The shirt, trousers and suspenders were perfect for the time period, late 1800- early 1900. Quality products and prompt delivery. Thank you.
The customer service, items and overall quality I was very impressed with I did send an email prior Thanking the gentleman emporium team.Awesome were my exact words or amazing...they deserve to be recognized for sure!
I decided I needed some elegance that, frankly, has gone out of men's fashion. I do not wear the shirt in any 'costume' sense, but rather as an unabashed dandy, fop, beau brummel, or whatever one calls someone who prides their appearance or flatters their lover when together.
The holster was shorter than expected for my 6 1/2" barrel. Look forward to longer availability in future. 4" minimum over pants size for belt length is cutting it close, but will work. 5" would be accurate for perfect fit. Overall a great deal and certainly cheaper than others I found.
Expertly solved my original order problem correcting it and shipping replacement the same day.
Rep was very helpful courteous and efficient. So nice to speak with someone who works for the actual company and not a call center. Product quality was great. Can't go wrong, definitely recommend.
I just love doing business online when the entire transaction is super quick, quality product, and they even followed up with my overall satisfaction. Let me tell you, this company knows how to treat their customers. Thank you for your wonderful service!
Item descriptions and sizing were refreshingly accurate. Material and workmanship are of outstanding quality. To say I am happy with my purchases is an understatement. Shipping costs to Australia was the only downside.
Flawless experience, really. Got exactly what I wanted in packaging that protected the somewhat fragile product several days earlier than promised. I would have no reservations whatsoever about ordering from this company again.
Answer: This is definitely a legit company. I ordered clothing from them on a Tuesday and 80% of it arrived on Friday - 3 days later.
Answer: When I call, they answer the phone on the second ring - a REAL person asnwers. Just remember they are Pacific time!
Answer: Not less expensive, but other companies have much better quality, and not so vague on the descriptions
