Wright and Simon

They say a picture is worth a thousand words! One of our customers took the time to send a photo of himself and his wife at his daughter’s wedding. He encouraged us to post it, showing his complete satisfaction with our product: a black Wright & Simon Heritage Gold suit. Thank you for sharing!

Have you heard of the term, haberdasher? In the United States, it refers to a retailer that sells fine men's clothing, including suits, shirts, and neckties. Wright & Simon is proud to have carried on the haberdasher tradition since 1935!

"I googled tailor near me - Wright & Simon was the highest rated. Admittedly, tailors are not too common these days. I told the proprietor how I wanted to look for my wedding, and he made magic happen. The fit was absolutely perfect, and the materials were phenomenal. Will absolutely return." - Mark T.

We wish all of the dads, grandpops, and father figures an awesome Father’s Day!

Throwback Thursday: J. Louis Simon, Morris M. Simon, and James H. Wright founded the store in 1935 at 109 West Ninth Street. This photo was taken in August 1952 at the original store location.

Throwback Thursday featuring Morris M. Simon, one of the original founders of Wright & Simon, and father of Len Simon. Our business was founded in 1935. We are proud to be a locally owned and operated business after all these years!

"I needed a suit, sport coat, and other things when in town (I live elsewhere). I’d been wanting to visit the shop from prior visits to Wilmington. What I found was a great selection, good advice, and a dryly humorous Leonard Simon, who obviously enjoyed ordering me around while trying his best to make sure the plethora of alterations I needed worked. Four days later everything was ready, the alterations were perfect, and I left happy with the quality of menswear, the service, the price, and the service. It’s been a Wilmington institution for 50 years, and now I know why." - David E.

The Wright and Simon recipe for success is quite simple, a playbook that many smart businesses of all sizes understand and embrace: Know your customer. Offer exceptional service. Keep innovating.

As noted by Len Simon, "When my father got started in 1935, service was one of his guiding principles. When he passed in 2002, the one thing I changed was to not change a thing."

Stop in today for exceptional service! Sat hours: 9am-3pm

Throwback Thursday: Here is a colorized photo of Market Street looking down from 10th in 1911. The church on the left became the Delaware Trust Building. Across the street is the building that would become Wright & Simon decades later. The lady with the hat on near the carriage is standing just outside the entrance to the residence. The upper structure looks identical today!
