Our Story

A Lower East Side institution built on one principle: show up looking like you belong there.

Ted's Formal Wear opened its doors on Orchard Street with a simple idea — New Yorkers deserve a place where formal attire isn't an afterthought or a last-minute rental. It's the centerpiece of your evening, and it should be treated that way.

Over the years, we've dressed grooms, groomsmen, wedding parties, corporate teams, and first-time prom-goers. We've helped fathers find the suit that makes them feel confident walking their daughter down the aisle. We've outfitted entire bridal parties so everyone looks like they belong in the same photograph. That's the standard we hold ourselves to — not just fitting you, but fitting the moment.

Quality You Can Feel

Every garment is inspected for fabric, stitching, and construction before it reaches our floor.

Personal Attention

We take the time to understand your event, your style, and your comfort — not just your measurements.

Locally Rooted

Proudly serving the Lower East Side and all five boroughs. This is our neighborhood, and we take pride in it.
