Well, it’s not quite ours…
But even if we did have our own, you couldn’t park any closer than at the new

And when you visit us and park in the Garage, we will gladly validate your parking, free of charge!
From Len Simon
This 60-year-old Wright & Simon newspaper advertisement, one of a series, is testimony to the fact that Wright & Simon, throughout its history, has concentrated on providing its customers with clothing carrying the finest of brand names, with the finest fabrics, finest design, and above all, the finest tailoring and fitting.
To the customer, the most important thing about his clothing is what it does for him – how it makes him feel about himself. This feeling begins with shopping where he can get clothes of superb quality, then have them custom-fitted by our craftsmen – tailors as perfect at their craft as humans can be, skilled wielders of the needle who may very well be more keyed to perfection of fit than the customer realizes himself. Our fine tailors like to “spoil” clients who take particular pride in their appearance. Such men and their sons and grandsons and friends have been coming for decades to Wright & Simon, that center of superior quality and fitting in the center of downtown Wilmington.
Since Wright & Simon has been on Market Street for over 60 years, one of the things we are known for is our classic store window displays. Over the years there’s been interplay between the store windows and the store advertising. The art in the clipping from the 1953 newspaper ad on the cover was inspired by the figurine shown at right, which was a prop in one of our store window displays. This is a recent photo of that small (6 inches high) cross- legged tailor figurine, one of many that have been collected over the years for the store windows.
While we often talk about the second floor of Wright & Simon being the tailor shop and prepping area, the basement is the prop department. Since our windows have featured our tailors, the props include everything from small figurines and artwork to antique sewing machines and blind stitch machines like those that have been (and still are) used at Wright & Simon since 1935
The reason we feature our fitters and tailors in each issue of our newsletters, print ads and store windows is they are a major part of who we are in serving our customers in a style and fit that I believe is unmatched in the greater Delaware Valley region.
