Has anyone ever heard of a Canadian Tuxedo? It goes back to 1951 when Bing Crosby was turned away from a hotel in Vancouver,BC when he tried to check in wearing Levi's and denim jeans were against the hotel's dress code. Word got back to Levi's who designed a complete denim outfit for the mega star even going so far as to sew message inside the jacket stating: "Notice to All Hotel Men: a perfectly appropriate fabric and anyone wearing it should be allowed entrance into the finest hotels." Next time you find yourself decked out in denim you'll know you're dressed to the nines in your Canadian Tuxedo!
