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

Every order from first to most recent has received immediate acknowledgement, processing, and very quick shipping. Typically, I receive my order within a week (allowing for possible weather delays). Though all contact has been online, my interactions with Historical Emporium have been "top notch."

saw the shirts thought I would buy for husband and he loved them.

My only disappointment at all was the small number of period vests for men in XXL/TG I already have four vests from Historical Emporium which I purchased many years ago; and I still get compliments on them when I wear them. Several of your dress vests are items I would certainly buy, but are only available for those with short upper bodies, and none of course are in the size that would fit me. The Item I purchased this time around is impeccable. It was the silver men's pocket watch with the "Viewing window" to see the mechanism working. I love it. Thank You Longstreet

vest was pretty much as expected. Not something you'd wear to a wedding, just a good hangout vest. It's a bit stiff due to the thick, strong material. Overall I was pleased with it.

Good quality, fast delivery. I would definitely recommend.
