I wanted to share this recent letter I received, not because of the kind words about me, but because it so perfectly captures the level of service we strive to provide every customer, every day:

Leonard -

I knew I would get the suit I wanted, but ended up with so much more. You are a true professional who honors his craft. Not only because your name is on the business. I think you're just wired that way.

What could have been a robotic routine turned into deep thought, as you considered all the options in sizing and fitting. An art, as opposed to some mathematical calculation. It was refreshing to experience, and made me feel special.

The service you provided is rare these days. I want you to know it was appreciated. I'm sorry this is likely my last suit, but will recommend you to anyone who is in need of your services.

Regards,

J.H.

"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.
