Lansky at the Peabody

149 Union Ave., Memphis, TN, 38103

When Elvis played on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1956, he was wearing a sport coat made by local Memphis clothier, Bernard Lansky. Explore the legacy at Lansky Bros., a shop that's been outfitting musicians for decades. From Elvis-inspired sweaters to vintage accessories, Lansky at the Peabody hotel is a beacon of Memphis style.

The Basics

To get outfitted in vintage-style clothing and accessories befitting a stage musician, stop by Lansky at the Peabody. It's easy to pair a shopping excursion at Lansky Bros. with a day of downtown Nashville activities, such as checking out a professional sports game at FedExForum, touring the National Civil Rights Museum, or attending a concert.

Things to Know Before You Go

  • Vintage clothing fanatics love Lansky Bros., as its styles are a throwback to the 1950s and 1960s.

  • Rock and roll fans should stop by to check out the store's music memorabilia.

  • Take part in a Memphis tradition by watching as the ducks hop into the fountain twice daily at the Peabody hotel.

How to Get There

Lansky at the Peabody is located in downtown Memphis. It's convenient to drive—via I-70 or I-55—as the hotel is off of Riverside Drive. Alternatively, take the train to Memphis Central Station and walk about 20 minutes to the shop, which is about 1 mile (1.6 kilometers) away.

When to Get There

Lansky Bros. is open seven days a week, with later weekend hours. There's no bad time to visit, but expect a crowd at the Peabody lobby for the famous duck march, which happens daily at 11am and 5pm. Weddings, special events, and sunset happy hours also tend to draw crowds, so arrive early in the day to avoid too many shoppers at Lansky Bros.
