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!

The order was placed easily
July 14, 2016

The order was placed easily. I had to make a return so I did it as a "return" and ordered the correct size. The refund was prompt. The only negative thing I could say is I wish they had return shipping. Overall, that increased the cost significantly

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.

I ordered a 4X vest and a 4X shirt
July 14, 2016

I ordered a 4X vest and a 4X shirt. The vest was perfect. The shirt (by a different mfg.) was too big, but Gentleman's emporium sent me the right shirt.

I had a problem with my card and bank so I placed the order by phone. Customer service was very helpful and took the order. I was very surprised the order shipped out that day and within a week I had my items! I will be back again!

I loved the blouse I ordered
July 13, 2016

I loved the blouse I ordered. It was beautifully made of very nice fabric. But, the sleeves were about 5 inches too long and the bust was cut tighter than size measurements would indicate it to be. It had to go back, unfortunately, but customer service was great. Easy return and quick refund. I will shop with them again and give them another chance in the future.

The holster rig I ordered is great
July 9, 2016

The holster rig I ordered is great. If you do the proper measurement process it will fit perfect. This is a zero tension holster well suited for fast draw. I paid the extra for expedited shipping. I ordered Thursday morning and received my holster the next day. This rig came from California to Tennessee in one day! Funny it takes three days for my local mail to cross two counties.

The service was excellent, Jamie assisted me throughout the entire process, particularly as some things were on back order and then we had some sizing issues but were able to do an exchange. The main downside is the cost of postage, it is particularly significant given exchange rates (AUD-USD) and having to pay two lots due to the exchange of items. Were I to purchase items again, I would order a size larger, and take it in myself if required. We did also reinforce the stitching on every button, we could not risk losing them before or during our wedding day, though overall quality of the items we ordered was great.
