My new left hand pistol belt is beautiful
June 3, 2018

My new left hand pistol belt is beautiful. It fits right and looks good. You are one of the very fey western wear outfitters that carried left hand rigs that are not "special orders". Thank you!

I purchased the Classic Canvas Trousers
June 2, 2018

I purchased the Classic Canvas Trousers - Walnut for a western movie. The pants were too long so I had them altered at the cost of $15. The first time I wore them I was on horse back. After the shoot, I went home and found that the crotch seams were ripped open. I would send them back but I have already had them altered. Now I have to pay to have them repaired.

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!

June 1, 2018

Purchased several items for a play I am in. I am very happy with the quality of the items I purchased. Well made, and accurate descriptions of each item. I would recommend this site without reservations to anyone looking for period clothing that is well-made, and worth the price.

I really appreciated the willingness of your staff to work work me on my enquiry. The shipping cost to New Zealand is high, so having an understanding person apply the sale discount to my order made a big difference to my total spend. Thank you.

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!
