HAL LANSKY, owner of Lansky Bros. in Memphis, talks about family, fashion, and ELVIS with us!
Ойын-сауық
Hal Lansky, the current owner of the ICONIC “Clothier to the King” store Lanksy Brothers, talks with us! What an absolute honor! Hal is the son of Bernard Lansky, who dressed Elvis throughout his career and showed the world how fashionable Memphis could be! The ‘Lansky Look’ helped Elvis grow into the superstar he eventually became, and SO many of Elvis’s iconic outfits are from Lanksy’s.
Hal tells us stories about growing up at the store with his dad, what it was like to be the delivery boy taking Elvis’s clothing orders to Graceland, and some other cool moments with celebrities even to this day. So cool and special!
“Bernard Lansky held the honor of being Elvis Presley's preferred tailor after meeting the singer, pre-fame, outside of the store during the summer of 1952. These days, Hal Lansky is the second-generation owner of Lansky Bros. at The Peabody. The way Hal Lansky tells it, his father developed a friendship with "the greatest entertainer of all time." - Lanksy Bros. website
Today, the Lanksy Brothers clothing store is located in the lobby of the Peabody Hotel but you can still walk by its original location on Beale Street. Hal runs the store with his daughter, Julie.
Hal - THANK YOU THANK YOU for your time with us! We are so grateful! Cannot wait to see you in Memphis soon!!

Hi everyone! Margarita here👋- I wanted to correct two things I said in the video: 1. That’s Elvis’s hand on Hal’s shoulder in the book (I accidentally said ‘Bernard’s’ in the video) 2. Mary Pickford’s birth name was: Gladys Marie Smith - (not ‘Love’ as I said in the video accidentally as well) Also, head over to our Instagram page: @Those.Elvis.Girls - as I will post the blinged-out Lansky’s rhinestone jacket that I talked about loving on an Elvis movie goer at the premiere & a few photos & videos from the Elvis Movie premiere in Memphis June 2022 with the Presley family, cast of ‘Elvis’ & Jerry Schilling! Otherwise, hope you all enjoy this video! We love & appreciate every one of you dearly!😘💖✨⚡️

This is another great interview. I can only imagine that the senior Mr. Lansky must have been thrilled to see the then, unknown, Elvis and Isaac Hayes become stars. And, we all loved the Elvis movie.

Great interview, ladies! Hal is definitely a character (along with his dad, Bernard)! Can't wait to see who you have on the channel next. And this is great - "Come on in and shake the hand, that shook the hand, that shook the world". Fantastic!

Such a great interview girls. Great to learn about such details. TCB 🎸
Great interview with Hal!!! I am super impressed with the guests you are showcasing on your channel. Hal is always so personable and full of energy. Elvis shopped for a lifetime with Lansky's not just because Bernard treated him with respect and dignity, but because Bernard extended his welcome and respect to every one, just like Elvis did. But why was Elvis drawn to Lansky's in the first place? Why was Elvis standing outside those windows? Dewey Phillips, the DJ who jumpstarted Elvis's career by playing That's Alright over and over and over the first time it was ever featured on the radio, shopped and proudly wore Lansky's. Dewey and Elvis started hanging out, but Elvis was still cash poor even though his first few songs were taking over the airwaves. Dewey gave Elvis some of his used Lansky's clothes. To Elvis, clothes were extremely important. Elvis did not have a closet full of clothes like most of us have today. Elvis had a limited number of items and could tell you in minute detail about each one and probably count them all on two hands. When Dewey gave Elvis clothes, Dewey made it possible for Elvis to hit his next stage show with pride in his appearance. Elvis never forgot what Dewey did for him. Prior to purchasing his clothes at Lansky's, Elvis opened a credit account in 1951 at Federal Credit Clothing Store on Main Street in Memphis. Elvis and his cousin Gene both opened an account and bought clothes the same day. Gene later married the girl who took their credit applications after she turned Elvis down for a date. When Elvis really started to come into money and remembering how much new clothes meant to him when he was struggling, Elvis began giving away his clothes to his friends, much like his friend Dewey did for him. Elvis brought it around full circle. Keep up the great work!
