George “Ducky” Anthony – the founder of Ducky’s Formal Wear – opened his first store in 1946 as a place to buy custom-tailored clothing and children’s shoes. George soon expanded into tuxedo rentals and the business exploded. His son, Steve Anthony, who is the current owner, joined the company as a young child and took over ownership in 1972.
The third generation of the Anthony family – Steve’s son Alex and daughter Stevie – are carrying on the Ducky's tradition for the next generation. Our traditions of style, service, and a large in-stock selection are still a part of our business today. In 2003, we were honored with the International Formal Wear Association Retailer of the Year Award!
Ducky’s Formal Wear is a member of the International Formalwear Association and the Select Independent Formalwear Association.
