Historical Emporium is one of my "go-to" sources for mid to late 19th century clothes and etceteras. I say 'one' because other sources provide additional options that are unavailable at HE. I like HE's offerings and quality, so I am by no means diminishing HE. Obviously, I'll be back.

This is my son's grad outfit and we were over the moon with excitement when it arrived EARLY! It fit to perfection and we could not be happier! Thank you Historical Emporium!

this is a second purchase from the company and not the last.

I was very pleased with the service I received and the items received were better than expected.

As an actor portraying a sheriff well before 1900, i needed this sort of hat and ... within a week! The hat arrived well before the scheduled delivery date, safely inside a sturdy box. I received compliments on my 'period correct' hat - so you deserve my compliments! Thank you!

I had to return a blouse that was too small. The website recommended ordering a replacement rather than doing a straight exchange, and returning the too-small blouse for a refund. This was suggested as the fastest way to get the right size blouse quickly, rather than encountering a possible processing delay with an exchange. This worked very nicely. I got my new blouse in a couple of days and my refund a day or so later. I had dreaded the hassle of an exchange, but this method worked very smoothly. Happily, the blouse was packing in a standard USPS flat box, on a hanger, folded neatly with two pins and covered with a plastic sleeve. The blouse was ready to try on, and easy to repack neatly when it didn't fit. I don't expect to need to return any future blouses I order now that I know how the sizing runs, but it was nice to learn that returns were nothing to be dreaded.
