I have a great deal of fun in this suit, makes me feel rather silly. Only negative is chafing when using it alot, so if you chaf be prepared for that. Otherwise, I love it!

A little see through when wet

Wore it to a backyard bbq. Also wore my straw boater hat. It was a HIT! Got rave reviews from the crowd! Definitely worth the purchase

Perfect for me exactly what I need.

Might have to wear something underneath seems a little sheer

I do living history/reanactment of the late Victorian era and this great suit for that.

We were in Mexico and I didn't want a typical swim shirt. Why not make a statement. This was spot on and held up in the pool and the sun. The only issue was the younger crowd thought I was Waldo! I should've gotten the blue one also. Would've rocked it.

This outfit is for our production of the Addams Family musical. This was the only place that I found this outfit for Uncle Fester .It is very good quality and arrived neatly packaged. I will definitely check this site again for items I need for future shows.

As a washed up 90's celebrity, it's important to stay relevant with the young kids these days. I'm thankful Historical Emporium provides such sick poolwear for me to subtly say "Look at me! I'm an attention whore!" Pro tip: buy the red AND the blue so you can mix and match! My only regret is shaving my handlebar mustache before summer. Can't wait to take a deeper dive into the Historical Emporium catalog for more sweet duds! PS: I'm paying a fashion video shoot at my new pool. Not sure if you provide discount codes but it's be happy to plug H.E.

I'm a professional Santa and I bought this for a beach vacation this year. Overall I like the product. It fits true to size, looks great, and my XXL was roomy enough for my ample Santa stomach. The fabric is a bit sheer, so I also bought (elsewhere) red underpants and undershirt. The only criticism I have is that the pants have a very low-rise waist, so it rides like old hip-hugger jeans. However, the top comes down to mid-thigh so the waist is well covered... it just feels a bit uncomfortably low. But I'm old, so what I find uncomfortable you may not. Overall very glad I found this.

The fabric is good and feels good on you.

I liked the 1920's Bathing Suit very much.

I have a need for this suit for a Christmas in July event in Florida. It will be at a splash pad and with the temperatures here I’m going to enjoy just sitting in the water but all hopes are it will be a big hit. I washed it per directions let it hang up to dry and it is colorfast.

It is incredible. I will be a hit at this year's Santa Clause convention when we have pool time for photo shoots. Thank you Santa Mitch

Was for a Christmas Dickens themed party and we fit in nicely. Good compliments on our outfits. They seem as well made or better than expected

I love the fit and feel of this hat, and the material is authentic in fit and feel. Be aware that if you're trying to get a traditional top hat, this one's short (which is correct for the style!), much like if you were buying a bowler hat and then made it flat instead of round-topped.

In my Dickens caroling group, I've been using a more generic shaped top hat that was too tall for my overall head and frame shape. This John Bull shape is stylish and just right. It was a bit snug, but I was able to steam it and it stretched right out to fit perfectly!

I plan on wearing the hat with a Regency Tailcoat at this years Dickens on the Strand (Galveston, Texas). It will no doubt fit in well with the other Victorian era outfits at the event.

Such a waste of time and especially money. Didn't read the fine print about returns and extra costs for hat boxes because of their size.... Unbelievable. The return shipping cost $37.15 for a $75.00 hat. Never again. Won't be shopping with you any longer.

The Top Hat is perfect. I like the quality and the way it sits on my head. Well done.

I love this hat! Beautifully made and fits perfectly.

I was impressed with how authentic the top hat looks and feels up close. An added surprise that was not in the picture was a feather and hat pin tucked into the hat band. No doubt, you'll love this hat.

I purchased this hat for my husband for a titanic period party coming up. The selection, quality of the products and speed of delivery of this company is absolutely outstanding. We will definitely purchase future products from this company.

Awesome quality product!! I ordered a black John Bull top hat, and it is beautiful! The sizing was spot on, it arrived much more quickly than I imagined, and in perfect condition. I'm not sure what I expected, but I was more than impressed with both the materials and workmanship, and will gladly recommend Historical Emporium to my friends and colleagues!

Great Price and fits great. I have not worn this hat to an event yet however I can already tell you that I love this hat over the Coachman's that I have previously purchased couple of months ago. Coachman's hat feels cheaply made compared to the John Bull which is Ironic when you compare the prices.

Hat fits perfectly and I look great in it

Very high quality top hat that was delivered in a box commensurate to it's size. I had ordered two other hats from a different company and they were both crushed because of the small boxes they were packed in. This top hat and quick delivery was absolutely with the money. Looking forward to other Victorian purchases!!

The outfit is for a Youtube channel, but I've always wanted a nice top hat anyway.

Love my.Top Hat and I look forward to wearing it for a Dickens event at the Boston Athenaeum

I tend to dress archaically daily. Depending on what I'm wearing people call me: the mad hatter, Col. Sanders, Dr. Who, the Monopoly Man, the Joker, the Penguin-- the list goes on. I own several Derbies, top hats and Fedoras. I shop for clothing at thrift stores, flea markets and online. Shopping online is a gamble. I've never been cheated at Historical Emporium, where, like Sam Colt said, "All goods worth the price asked." Thank you for being fair.

Historic tour of Granbury TX

I was amazed at how well this hat was built worth the price of admission

I have always wanted a Top Hat. I purchased the Wahmaker Highland Frock Coat and have worn it to Court (I'm a lawyer). When it came time for the annual reading of the Declaration of Independence at the Court House, I knew I had to wear my frock coat, but wanted a quality Top Hat that didn't look cheap. I ordered the Victorian Top Hat, the quality is amazing. The hat looks very nice and I intend to wear it occasionally come Winter. If you are needing a hat for a Victorian impression, I highly recommend this hat.

I'd been wanting a top hat for many years. I kept looking for one at hat shops - most don't carry top hats - and when I would find one, they never had them in my size, the shape seemed off or the quality was really not up to par. I am thrilled with the hat I received from Historical Emporium. The quality is great, it's a perfectly shaped top hat and the fit is perfect. This is the second time I've ordered from Historical Emporium and will definitely not be the last!

This hat far exceeds my expectation. it is well built and beautiful. for the price you can not go wrong.

Great quality and awesome price! Gifted this hat to my Masonic husband for Father's Day and he loves it!

This top hat is absolutely beautiful and the quality is amazing. The sizing is perfect. I would recommend this hat to anyone. The shipping time was great.

I usually wouldn't buy something like this but I figured, "what the Hell, might last me awhile". Indeed, I'm glad I bought this product cause of how nice the quality is and I'm looking forward to further purchases.

Made a 67 year old woman dream Come true. Wanted one of these For years. Excellent quality!

I got this for my trip to Kauai. My boater hat should complete the look!

I love it, except there is no difference between the navy blue and the black. Now I wish I chose the red.

We used this for a production of "The Addams Family," for Fester to wear while wooing the Moon. I dyed the white stripes light blue, to excellent effect.

Product looks exactly like we thought it would; however, I was expecting it to be cotton and not polyester. I assumed the male costume would be cotton considering the female costume was made of cotton.

I won a bathing suit contest! It was great!

Excellent

I have received many compliments when I wear this suit.

The material feels great, it feels like it'll last me for a long time with regular use. I'm 6'0 ft 290ish and the 2xl fit perfectly. I've gotten a lot of compliments for the bathing suit. I highly recommend

I was somewhat cautious when buying this product as there appeared to be some critical feedback in earlier reviews, suggesting poor quality, "costume" clothing, no elastic tie to pants, etc.. The item I received was none of these! The quality is great, the navy / white colour is fine (my colleagues have the other colours for an upcoming event), there is an elastic tie in the pants. I did order a size up as I wanted a relaxed fit to suit the style of the period (and my shape!). It is an excellent outcome for myself.

cheesy but it works !! good old style type looking, will use it again for other costumes

Fits real well, and I'm a big guy. Felt real comfortable too

overall, this garment is OK for the price. however, when I was taking it off after putting it on for the first time, the stitching around the neck pulled out. so either I needed to get once size larger (evern though the size I purchased fit fine), there is not much stretch or "give" so it almost ripped taking it off.

I'm a pastor and the First Sunday in May following Easter we celebrate "Holy Humor Sunday." For several years I have dressed up as Freddie The Freeloader or Clem Kadiddlehopper who are two of my most favorite Red Skelton characters. This year the title of my sermon was "Have You Taken The Plunge" and the idea came to me to dress up as a 1890's gentleman swimmer. I couldn't go the one piece tog but the one I ordered from you was perfect

Blue is a very deep navy blue that is almost black. Suit looks more like a prison costume.

I love these boots! I bought them to wear in a western horror film I'm acting in. I will wear these in real life too. Very nice boots. Great quality.

WELL WORTH THE MONEY~For My Character, BlackJack Taylor ~MANE STREET STAMPEDE WILD WEST SHOW~PIONEER TOWN CA. GOOD LEATHER. PAPER HEELS=MUST COVER W/RUBBER HEEL PC & COVER SOLE TOO W/RUBBER SOLE/HEEL KIT. MINE ARE NOW EQUIPPED SO=LABOR INTENSIVE* ALSO IN PROCESS OF DISTRESSING FOR WILD WEST SHOW (NEXT YR?) WOULD HAVE ADDED THIS TO MY PREVIOUS REVIEW, BUT I DIDN'T KNOW HOW. *WELL WORTH THE MONEY.* YES ORDER ORDER ONE SIZE UNDER YOUR REGULAR SIZE. YES HEEL LIFT IS PRESENT=MIDIGATE W/HEEL INSERT. NEXT PAIR I GET WILL BE BLACK ONES.

Decent boots. Decent leather. Go on amzn-get rubber Heal AND Sole Kit-**MUST Be Biggest/Widest one** Get Glue-Add these to Them. Highly Recommended. Yes they are 1 size Over- Order I Size *UNDER~ Yes they are wide & heel lift is present. Compensate w/heel insert.

I have a wide foot, usually requiring a 12 4E, and despite that have had to use an old-fashioned shoe stretcher to make anything close to a comfortable fit in the many cowboy boots I have bought over the past few decades.. Square toed boots with a high arch are really hard to find, especially with a leather sole. Size 12 was out of stock here, so I took the plunge and ordered a 13, having first asked if I could return if they did not fit. They responded...no problem. Boots arrived in time for my 75th trip around the sun on this satellite, and that day I celebrated (wearing my "riding pants" and suspenders and vest as well, which I had bought previously). I swear my Arab gelding looked a hell of a lot better that day with my shiny new boots tucked into his stirrups. (Just need some longer stirrup straps to go over the arch...but I don't use spurs much these days anyway). A natural felt insert helped the boots fit, and they were real comfortable first time on, which counts a lot if you have gout in your big toes!!!. I especially like the height of the leather upper, since my previous 10" boot tops used to catch on the saddle flap at times. I could go on, but you get the picture. Six stars at least.

I’ve been looking for boots exactly like these for ages. Glad I found your site.

I picked these boots up for my Star Wars Obi Wan Kenobi costume this year and they were PERFECT! Size I landed with was a size smaller than I usually pickup (I bought an 8. I usually wear 9+). I ended up wearing a hiking sock underneath so the boot was a more snug fit.

I can't get over the quality for the price of this boot. I wear a size 11 and I ordered an 11. it does run a little large, but as in other reviews mention this about this boot I was expecting it. I just added a thicker sock and the fit is comfortable and pleasant. I can't wait to get them all broken in and have them get that natural "patina" that a good pair of boots deserve.

If you are looking for a tall period correct cowboy boot this is it. It runs a little big in size and it is a little wide so be prepared to wear a heavy sock with it. Construction is from full sheets of leather with very heavy stitching holding everything together. Sole is solid wood with leather on the bottom so it has a very destinctive thud when you walk with them, I love it. They say the color will vary and mine were dyed a very dark brown, but it ended up matching the gun belt which was perfect. I roughed them up a little to weather them and they turned out amazing. My only complaint would be they are smooth on the bottom so you will need to score them or use texture pads for traction if you don’t have time to let them wear in naturally. Overall a great boot for an old western look.

Very nice boots! Hard to find good mens leather knee high boots like this, and these are very well done. Plan on wearing these for multiple reasons! One boot fit slightly larger than the other one, but another sock fixed the problem fine.

I am playing Adam Pontipee for a production of Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. I wanted to look authentic, but wear a boot that I could run, jump ,dance and fight in without it breaking down. These boots have been all of the above. I am about 250 pounds, and I have worn the boots every day for a month and have not seen even one hint of degredation of the seams or soles. I am totally pleased and would recommend these boots to my closest friends.

I love them. Probably should’ve bought the Artillery Boot, but these are sweet..

These are great! I was initially hesitant after reading some the reviews about these boots - but decided to pull the trigger anyways and purchase them. I was VERY pleasantly surprised when I received them and discovered that they were not the costume boots I was half expecting them to be - but really nice name brand boots that I had actually been looking at at a department store just the other week. Yes the sole is slick - but that will pass with wear - and there IS a slight creaking - but after looking online at more reviews I read a very easy fix for that and it will help prolong the life of the boot. All in all - very satisfied!

We will be sending the boots back as they look like they are made out of plastic and we cannot give them as a gift as planned.

Really nice; service very good. I wish you had sizes wider for old folks feet.

I have loved every purchase I've made from Historical Emporium. I own a gorgeous overcoat, a vest or two and a pile of shoes -- the latter being the main thing that drew me to the site and has kept me coming back. Unfortunately, these particular boots have not delighted me the way my previous three shoe purchases have done, and for just one simple reason: CREAKING! These are the creakiest shoes I've ever owned, to the point where I don't dare wear them to work in my VERY quiet open-bay office. You can hear the creaking from halfway across the cube maze. I need to look into a way to reduce the creaking noise -- I know simply wearing them will help, breaking them in, but is there anything Historical Emporium can recommend to help speed up the process? A kind of oil or wax to rub in and improve the give? Don't get me wrong -- they're gorgeous boots. But this issue really has been disappointing, and next time I'll stick to buying more of the kind I purchased previously, which don't have this problem. Thanks -- I am still a big fan!

These are the most comfortable dress shoes I have ever bought! And they are fabulous!

They gave me some discomfort but I'm sure that will go once they are worn in. Also they tend to squeak and have no grip but still a good item to have

I just didn't listwn to the rwview about it being a size large when I should have. Great shoe so far no complaints. Super snazzy!

The shoelace is a little shorter than I'm used to, and, as was mentioned in other reviews, the slick leather outsole will require relearning to walk. I bought a size smaller than I do for my modern shoes and it fits great, and looks great.

A lot of nice compliments. Fit is very good. Love them

I searched and searched online for a dress boot to wear at my wedding this summer, until I found this shoe. The pictures on the website made it look like everything I had looked for. I ordered the boot and eagerly awaited its arrival. I was so disappointed, however, when they came that I immediately returned them. The pictures on the website are not at all true to the color, texture, and quality of the product's leather. If you want a better idea of what the boot looks like, check it out on the Stacy Adam's website. Even their pictures aren't perfectly accurate. This shoe could not be worn for anything other than a costume. The leather upper looks and feels like plastic; the shoe laces are also of a poor quality. I would not recommend this boot to anyone who is looking for real footwear.

A fashionable gentleman could not do better. I wear a size 12 or 13 shoe, normally the latter, and I went with a 12 in this case and they fit well, maybe even a little large. I would recommend them to anyone.

These boots compare VERY favorably to an authentic similar pair I own. The leather is somewhat thicker, and therefore somewhat stiffer, but that is not necessarily a bad thing. I am considering getting the same in black so I can save the originals.

though a nice pair of boots they did need some breaking in. the soles were slippery and i slid around carpeted surfaces for a few days so wear those boots in early. also its been a few weeks and I've already lost 3 of the upper lacing pins. i may have been lacing my boots too tight but that's the way i like them. other than that i love theses boots there aesthetically pleasing with a simple design and an air of sophistication.

These boots are made of quality material and are constructed very well. I wear them as an entertainer for hours on end with no foot pain. They are holding up very well, and when the time comes, I will definitely reorder these boots. I would highly recommend them to everyone.

My now husband purchased these shoes after months of looking for the right style. We did a steampunk/victorian based wedding. We purchased all his clothes for the wedding from this site after months of looking elsewhere we returned to complete the outfit. They where just the last piece to match some wonderful clothes. We did an out door/indoor wedding. They stood up well to the dirt, dancing, and sword play at our wedding. We then took them on our hoonymoon and they filled in for modern dress shoes.The shoes did squeak throughout the wedding and week long cruise, so do take some time to break them in before any important events. They are stiff, but that like the squeking we preseve with go away with a proper break in period.We will return again to buy more outfits for future events from this site. My husband looks horid in a modern suit but dashing in the victorian wear.

Nothing but class... Item is well constructed, very well sewn so elegant. It topped off the black and white ensemble with the top hat and killed the crowd for the evening!

I bought these white spats when I bought my grey pair. I have not gotten to wear these yet as I bought these for formal wear. I love the fabric though! Very nice looking. If the grey pair I've already worn for 2 weeks gives any indication, then these white pair will certainly be a delight!

Fantastic product. I have worn them for a now out with my wife and everyone was not only praises how sharp I looked, but mamy praised for knowing what spatz are. I bought an extra pair just incase.

The Spats are a great look with dark trousers and black boots or shoes. The ankle measurements provided made for a great fit.

I used the measuring guide to order and had to return. The product appears to run small. However, when you get the correct size for your foot- very snazzy!!

The material of these spats is high quality and the covered buttons make them perfect for a Great Gatsby white tie affair.

This is the third pair of spats I've purchased from the Emporium, and as always, they're quite pleasing. This time, however, I had a special project - tie dyed spats for Easter. So this review will come in two parts: General and Crazy Crafter Who Drops $30 On Spats They Might Destroy. General - lovely spats! They're made from a soft, light weight twill with satin lining. Very comfortable. I did not think until after it was far too late to call customer service and as "are these preshrunk cotton?" that they might be preshrunk cotton. (Spoiler: they're preshrunk cotton) The one word of caution I would give is that after leaving them sopping wet for 24 hours, there was rust coloured staining on the buttons. Given that these are not meant for puddle hopping this will likely not be an issue for most people, but if you do fall in a lake or some such, at least hit them with a hairdryer somewhat sharpish. I tumbled mine on low in the dryer and they came out Just Dandy. Crazy Crafter - survived being tied up and dunked in boiling dye baths repeatedly like a champ! I used RIT's Dye More line because I had it on hand, but since they're cotton, the regular RIT should do. Took the colour beautifully, not only outside, but inside as well. This means that the white satin spats would likely also dye. Don't let them sit wet overnight (see above). Tumble dry and iron on medium heat. Preshrunk cotton, so order the size you want rather than a size up. An excellent option for weddings,...

I love these! They are very well made, and the overall quality was better than anticipated. They look very snazzy on my hubby.

Very attractive spats and they sure show off when you wear them with a suit and black oxford shoes.

As with everything else I've ordered from Historical Emporium, these spats are of excellent quality. These are not costume or novelty items, they are made to be worn. I wear a 10.5 and my ankle measures just over 10" so I ordered the large to be on the safe side. They fit perfectly over a pair of wingtips, look sharp and button securely.

excellent quality

unfortunately did not match my need. Had to return but an excellent boot for the $s

This story ends nicely. I ordered the Long Riding Boots, and when they arrived, one boot, though marked the right size, was noticeably smaller than the other boot. I took photographs and contacted customer service. They were fast in contacting me with the offer to ship another pair, on them. The second pair came with no issues. I am very pleased!

My Amish boot guy will correct them. They pinched in back because of lack of support. I'm not that disappointed, just a little because I will have to spend money to correct this deficiency. Otherwise they look great!

Loved the look. Lots of great feedback. Had a couple friends asked to borrow them. I was best man at a frontier, wild west wedding.

Great.. authentic look of the old west

I have wide feet that require a square toed boot. My job requires black leather boots. I had just about given up on finding decent looking, comfortable boots at an affordable price. These boots fit well, seem to be durable, and shine up really well. I have received lots of compliments on them.

Great for historical reenactments and good enough for every day use. I use size 10.5-11. I ordered size 10 and they fit loose which is perfect because I use thick insoles.

very comfortable easy to wear great fit can be wore with most of my outfits i highly recommend these boots

These boots are made basically the same way as was done in the 1860s and issued by the govt., though men could purchase their own boots of a higher quality. Square-toed, they are wide enough for me and I wear a 9-Wide and might have been okay with a size 8-Wide in these boots. Well constructed and sturdy though unlined and your pant legs will probably have to be stuffed into them, but that's how these were worn back in their time. Excellent for reenactment. I shall be Lt. Col. Sawdust!

I wear a size 12 EEE, finally , a boot that comfortably fits, had others that did'nt even come close to these.

I have a fair number of western boots. Some were for SASS, others for snake country. I will summarize these boots so you can decide for yourself. Overall, for the money, they are a good deal. The boots are not lined so they will sag unless you stuff your pants into them. Soles and heels are leather and will not stand up well to water. I bought rubber sole and heel caps and glued them on with Shoe Goo, also sealing the leather edges, boot heel, etc. My foot size is 10D. I often buy a size larger (since I don't run marathons in boots) in order to be able to remove them; but since I read so much of these boots being oversize, I bought 10 normal width. The length is good but the width is way large. I added insoles. There is no spur shelf so getting these off (with a tight fit) will be murder. The tops of my boots measured 18" in circumference. Since these boots measure 18" from heel to top, without a large circumference it would be very difficult to get your foot into a narrow shaft, tall boot, without a zipper. Ever wonder why people buy tall boots with zippers...this is why. These are the tallest boots I have ever found and I have 6 pairs of high-priced kicks. I bought these for work I do not want to subject $350+ boots to.

I was a little leery when purchasing these boots as the price seemed too good to be true compared to what other boots in the same style run. Reviews overwhelmingly complained that the top opening was too big, which was a godsend for me, I have a hard time finding tall boots because I have massive Calf muscles and almost every boot is nowhere near loose enough in the stovepipe to get up my leg. These ones were perfect. Great value and made very well for the price. Toe is very very square, but i like it, reminds me of civil war era dragoon styled riding boots. Would buy again.

My jaunty swimming outfit was a hit at our scout summer camp. I took third place in the scoutmaster belly flop contest.

This is sold as a package, and the top piece doesn’t match the trunks- it appears to be several sizes too large. They don’t match up. I am a normal sized person and the trunks fit me. Also, the trunks are not bathing trunks, just shorts. There is no support. I would have gladly exchanged the top for one that fits, but they won’t separate the package. Even more importantly, they don’t cover the return shipping. Be wary of this business. It doesn’t sound like they are standing behind their product as they claim.

I love my classic bathing suit, throwback to the early 20th century. All things come back in style. I usually wear an XL however your sizing chart was right on the money and the L is prefect.

I am a fan of general Custer 7th cavalry. My uniform with the boots makes me a part of his regiment. Thank you. Bob

We do German Renaissance Re enacting at various events. These wide toed boots are just super for my husband.

I ordered size 9 (my regular shoe size) but this boot runs about one size large and is very wide in the heel. I will need to return for a size 8. Otherwise, the boot is well made, has a leather sole, and looks period.

I am very pleased with the fit and looks of these boots. Glad I read reviews, they were 100% correct

my old cavalry boots were warn out from shoots. these new ones were a great replacement. i belong to SASS and my alias is CUSTER. also i am a veteran of the 12th CAVALR.

Admittedly I was a bit skeptical about spending that kind of money on boots. However I was blown away by their quality. I could go to war in these, if I was on a horse and carried a sword and lived in the 19th century. I love them. they are thick, heavy duty and will certainly last a life time. Might leave them to my son. Buying everything I need from this company. All of the items thus far have been exemplary. Huzzah!

Wished they come in men's 6 or 6 1/2 sizes.

Historical emporium has great customer service, I emailed them to ask about the fit of these boots and what size they would recommend. They got back to me very quickly and the size they recommended was a perfect fit.The boots seem to be historically accurate and good quality leather.

The reviews said they ran large I wear a 7-1/2 2E, ordered a 7 and they are about a half size too large No worries, thats what insoles and socks are for High quality Good value Good look Excellent real world or costume boots

Just what I was looking for. Not as tall as some of your other offerings. Just the right size. Much better than the plastic covers that came with my St. Nicholas outfit. My western boots just didn't look right, even here in western Nebraska.

I normally wear slightly larger size 8 boots to get the width but got these in size 7. Perfect fit!

The boots looked even better in person and are unexpectedly comfortable to wear! The craftsmanship on them is very impressive! These handsome boots are made far better than any modern equivalent. Once again I am thoroughly impressed with the quality of items carried by this shop.

As a life long reenactor and cowboy action shooter I am constantly looking for new "personas" to assume. It is very important that my character appear period correct in every manner, but most importantly his dress. I research my persona extensively. When I decide on the clothing for my character I invest heavy research to find the best quality articles of clothing for the best price. Historical Emporium has been a mainstay for my clothing throughout the years. I will continue to return to Historical Emporium because I know I will receive excellent customer service, quality merchandise and fair prices. The boots were better than expected. Top quality and excellent fit. Many thanks!

These are great value for money and exactly as described. The soles are slick when new as with any full leather sole. When I get some wear in them, I will get a traction sole and heel applied. you would need to pay at least twice as much money elsewhere to get a boot as authentic and as well made as these. They do fit a little large, but with thick socks are comfortable.

I ordered size 9 boots after reading reviews that the boots run large. I normally wear size 9.5 boots and still the boots were a little too big. I put insoles in the boots and that really helped the fit. The quality and workmanship of the boots are great. A great addition to my civil war uniform. Overall I’m very pleased with these boots.
