I have used HE since 2015 and always found them helpful and had everything our business required. Lately, there has been not one thing we needed in stock. I wonder what actually is in stock sometimes! And to add insult to injury, they can't ship to Australia (that's probably not their fault but other companies certainly can). I had to get my last order sent to the UK to my daughter to get it shipped here and that cost me not only postage but bloody import tax too! This is not just recent either. We've been trying since before COVID to get clothing and always out of stock. We waited and waited but nothing ever seemed to be restocked. Historical Emporium used to be a business I could really recommend to people who always commented on our uniforms but now I have to tell them that they were great but they just don't have anything anymore.
My wife bought me a watch chain for my birthday a little over a year ago. At $40 it should be a good quality watch chain, but it was unsuitable for daily use. The clasp broke and the company was unwilling to work with me about getting it repaired or replaced. This is the second time one of their products broke on me as I had a pocket watch break several months ago. I would not buy anything from them again.
In general I am very pleased with everything that I have purchased. There are other things that you don't carry yet. Hip flasks, more variety of hats, leather belts. How about face masks? For motor cyclists or just to freak people out on the street?
My purchases included not only the men's vest, coat, etc but also an Edwardian hooped formal dress. We are very pleased with the wide selection and how well the clothes fit just based on measurements given online.
I am fond of shopping at Gentlemen's Emporium. I have shopped there before and been satisfied with the merchandise and service. This order took almost 2 weeks to be delivered, mostly because, it was not processed and shipped until 7 days after being paid for.
Prices are absolutely astronomical.! $69 for a simple vest and then shipping and handling cost almost $85... special orders take too long.NO responses to inquiry for when something would be back in stock...
I needed some articles of clothing that were accurate to the time period, namely 1860's-early 1870's Old Western U.S... found what I wanted, and then some! The inventory in your catalog is amazing. Certainly will recommend to others...
Hello,
I write to you from my tiny country, Switzerland. I have been a customer for some years now, placing one or two orders per year. Indeed, having adopted a style of clothing ranging from the late nineteenth century to the early twentieth century.
Thanks to your shop I found, finally, a very large selection of clothes. I have always been fully satisfied with your services and products, and for all this I thank you.
Best regards from Geneva

The items came within 2 days. I was shocked, especially since I live. In Hawaii.
This is about my 5th outfit from Emporium, quality products!
