Tuxedo fanciers should forever sing Hollywood's praises. At the peak of black and white filmmaking, Fred Astaire and Cary Grant, in particular, looked terrific in black and white tuxedos. As projected on theater screens the world over, the Tuxedo became synonymous with the epitome of male sophistication and elegant style!
Like it or not, gentlemen, when it comes to formal occasions, nothing says formal more FORMALLY than tuxedos. You've got to admit that tuxedos are classy to the max. Thank the former Prince of Wales for starting the fashion trend back in 1886 by wearing a short black jacket in place of the formal tailcoat. An American guest, James Brown Potter, took the look back to the States. He introduced his new attire to the Tuxedo Club in upstate New York. What "they're wearing to dinner in Tuxedo" evolved into a name for the jacket and all the variations other patrons devised.
Some histories credit Griswold Lorilland, another Tuxedo patron with the same invention, a dinner jacket without tails. And while the three gentlemen's fan clubs contend for the honor, we simply offer a complete resource at 101TuxedoShops.com for every possible style, manufacturer, and price range. Here you will also find men's formal accessories to complement and enhance that great looking tuxedo.
