Contacted the HE just to make sure I was supposed to open the vest pocket with a hem ripper, which they confirmed.

Ordered three items on the website over the weekend and all three items were delivered the following mid-week. Simply astoundingly fast shipping and all three items were just as described. Two hats and a fan of superior quality.

I ordered the wrong size hat. Expressed shipped it back and Julia was great help as was Noel who's suggestion worked best. US mail had the package arriving in San Jose, the 3rd. It didn't get there. Noel's suggestion he left on my voice mail to buy another and they would refund the first upon receiving it. Having a drop dead date of when I needed the new hat sent Julia followed through with the order's shipping and getting me the info. Hat got here a few days earlier! Thank you, Historical Emporium,

Awesome!!!

I am so grateful to know that Historical Emporium is THERE, and does such excellent work to provide historically accurate clothing and costumes.

Super phone and on-line service .... timely receipt of orders as well as exchange .... and refund.
