Ted's Formal Wear

Originally started by Ted Buchholz as a classic men's clothing store, it transformed in 2003 under his son Charles into a haven for rock t-shirts and memorabilia that pays homage to the legendary music scene of the Lower East Side. This quirky shop is not just about shopping; it's about diving into the rich history of rock and roll while supporting a local business that has seen better days. When you visit, you'll find a treasure trove of unique band tees that capture the spirit of iconic artists, making it the perfect spot to snag a piece of NYC's musical heritage. Plus, you'll enjoy a warm welcome from Charles, who is as passionate about music as he is about his shop
