About Us
Ted and George is a men’s shop located in The Rink, at the heart of New Orleans’ historic Garden District.
When Katherine and Tony Gelderman began the renovation of The Rink—a 140-year-old landmark—they did so with the community in mind. Their vision was to create a destination that highlights exceptional, locally owned businesses. Recognizing the city’s need for a truly great men’s store, the inspiration for Ted and George was born.
Our shop carries just about everything a Southern gentleman—or a visitor to our city—might need: from casual and dress shoes to a perfectly tailored white linen suit. You’ll find swim trunks, the right pocket square to match your jacket, and polos that carry a touch of local flair. Whether it’s a crisp dress shirt or a relaxed weekend look, Ted and George has you covered from head to toe.

Who Are Ted and George?
Ted and George were the beloved Labrador retrievers of our owner, Tony Gelderman.
Their loyalty, charm, and reliability inspired the spirit of the shop—because a great men’s store should always be there for you, just like a man’s best friend.
