Fun Fashion Fact

It is said that the term “Canadian tuxedo” comes from the denim tuxedo jacket Levi’s made especially for Bing Crosby after he and a friend weren’t allowed to book a room at a Vancouver hotel because the actor was wearing a “dingy” denim jacket and jeans. Eventually he was recognized and they were allowed to stay the night. When Levi’s got word of the tale, they decided this wouldn’t happen again and created the special jacket for him.
