Dedicated gratefully and with joy to the men of Delaware and its neighbors, Wright & Simon has for over 75 years built an outstanding men’s clothing store on the cornerstone of their principles:

-- Offering only the very best in clothing for men

-- Stressing that good fitting is the first essential to good appearance and makes for max

imum customer comfort and satisfaction. Wright founded the store in 1935 at 109 West Ninth Street. By 1952, the business was ready for new quarters. The new store, at the present location of 911 North Market Street, was designed as one of the most outstanding stores in the country devoted exclusively to the sale of fine clothing for men. Featuring special emphasis on the comfort and convenience of patrons, the store extends across from Market Street to Shipley Street, with entrances and display windows on both streets. Displays and fitting rooms are on the first floor, with the tailoring and alterations department and the business offices occupying the second floor. Wright & Simon prides itself on carrying the finest nationally advertised brands of men’s clothing, brands that are America’s classics, the acknowledged leaders – brands such as Burberry, Oxxford, Hart Schaffner and Marx, Hickey Freeman, Forsythe of Canada, H. Freeman of Philadelphia, Hathaway, Countess Mara, Pringle of Scotland, Palm Beach. Master tailors, fitters, and alteration experts of high repute and long experience ensure that all work meets the highest expectations of their crafts. Through the years Wright & Simon has maintained the maximum standards of quality, character and fitting. They look forward to continuing to serve their loyal patrons and also to giving new generations of patrons the pleasant surprise of learning a new concept of satisfaction in clothing purchases, available only where quality, character, and perfect fitting come together.

"I’ve been struggling to find clothing off the rack that works for me for my entire life, as I am not of average height. I finally decided to try Wright and Simon to see if I could finally own a suit that is both comfortable and designed to fit. I couldn’t have been more satisfied with the service, the delivery of the clothing, and the quality of the products. It’s worth the small premium you’ll pay for this level of care and service. I will be returning to continue to build out my wardrobe!" - Chris L.
