Item Description

Seccombe's Men's Shop is a full-service men’s clothing store that has been serving the Greater Naugatuck Valley for 90 years.

Seccombe's Men's Shop was established in a small storefront located at 52 Main Street in 1924 by Lionel Seccombe when he was just twenty-five years old. Despite opening during the height of the Great Depression, Lionel steadily build a loyal clientele over the years with an old fashioned work ethic, fairly priced quality merchandise, and an uncompromising commitment to superior customer service.

Lionel’s son Charles entered the family business upon his return from serving with the United States Marine Corps in WWII. In 1952 Lionel purchased a more spacious location at 171 Main Street in Ansonia, CT, the present location of Seccombe's Men's Shop. Just three years after the move, Lionel and Charles faced the challenge of rebuilding after the Great Flood of 1955. 


Most of the store's stock was lost in the flood and the building was damaged extensively. Due to the extraordinary resilience of the father and son team, the business not only survived but thrived.

Charles' son, Gregg, the 3rd generation owner, has been in the men's apparel business for over 30 years. Through the many years of business, our Mission has never changed. Seccombe's Men's Shop remains committed to continuing a tradition of offering top quality men’s clothing, fair prices, and exceptional, friendly customer service.

Our motto here at Seccombe’s is "A Woman’s  Best Accessory is a Well-Dressed Man". Though styles and fabrics have changed through out the years our commitment to our customers has remained the same.  In an era that can all too frequently be impersonal, we continue to take pride in getting to know our customer's needs, just as Lionel did all those years ago.
