Interesting website; vintage clothing

Some really neat clothing for men and women.http://www.gentlemansemporium.com/gentlemans.php

My wife Bobbie and I have attended two Steampunk events here in Victoria.

Prior to the first we bought her dress and blouse, my pith Helmet, and some of the other accessories shown here from Gentleman's Emporium.



The service was top notch. The products were exactly as described. The prices reasonable.

I would not hesitate to purchase from then again nor would I hesitate to recommend them.

Just for the sake of accuracy, it should be noted that this is not vintage clothing, which is a term usually reserved for original items. This is 'period' clothing of new manufacture.

That said, I've been eyeing their wares for a couple of years now (specifically their trousers, as they have a good selection of high-waisted versions), but never seem to pull the proverbial trigger on purchasing anything. They also have a nice selection of waistcoats, though I'm not sure many of them would work well with a kilt.

I purchased my derby from them - it's a very nice hat for the price, and it shipped quickly and without incident; I never had need to test their customer service, but I have heard that it's good.



A further caveat RE: "authenticity" - I have read in various US Civil War discussions that Gentleman's Emporium's clothing is period style, but not necessarily period accurate; in other words, to most casual observers their garments look period correct, but most of them are constructed using more modern/streamlined designs and techniques.

I have 2 of their straight cut and collared waistcoats which work superbly with a kilt. They are of a reasonable cost and service is excellent, yes even to Australia

I too have a waistcoat from them, and like it very much. I plan to order one or two of their stand collar shirts in the near future.

Hmmmm. I put a few items from there on my Christmas list. Thanks for the link.

They do have nice clothing for men and women both. Ive got a couple shirts from there and I do like the New Bankers waistcoat in Burgundy wool. Their prices are quite reasonable for the quality you receive.

I have one of their waistcoats and a couple of shirts. Have worn often with the kilt in modern contexts and never felt like I was in costume. Admittedly that works better for some of the clothing on their site than others, but I have recommended them as a good resource to many.
