A. Sulka and Co. was founded in New York City in 1893 by businessman Amos SULKA and tailor Leon WORMSER. The shop was originally a shirt maker's establishment, and in 1895 was located on Broadway. By the early 1920s, A. Sulka had moved to Fifth Avenue and had opened stores in London’s Old Bond Street and in Paris. They were known for their high quality custom shirts, and for luxurious items made from silk such as ties, scarves and robes. The store became a favourite of the well-dressed rich and famous, including the Duke of Windsor and Clark Gable. Amos SULKA died in 1946. More stores were opened, including ones in San Francisco and Chicago. Sulka carried primarily men's items, but there were select women’s items such as scarves and robes.
