Canadian Tuxedos for the people
What a start to the morning! Thank you to our dear friend and designer Derek Roberts of NYC for sharing this video from The Sing Sing Prison Concert, a 1972 concert at New York’s maximum prison featuring BB King, Joan Biaz and these Canadian Tuxedo-clad ladies – The Voices of East Harlem Girl Group.
Denim doing good. We like it.
Dope ass baby. Dope ass Canadian Tuxedo.
Sorry, Mason Disick. We spotted this little dude months ago in an elevator at the West Hollywood Target. We wanted to snap him up but snapped this pic instead.
Spotted: Canadian Tuxedo
Wait for it. To the right of the couple is a pretty dope ass Canadian Tuxedo, complete with one of the sickest mullets we’ve seen around. Thank you Anne E. for sending this gem from Charleston, S.C.

Our first official user submission comes from Stephanie V. of Scottsdale, Ariz. She snapped this pic at the Diamondbacks game last night. Of course this guy’s Canadian Tuxedo is embellished. That’s how they roll in Phoenix. Thank you, Steph! If you spot a Canadian Tuxedo in the wild, please send your pictures our way!
I’m dreaming of a … Canadian Tuxedo
Who knew Bing Crosby was the Godfather of the Canadian Tuxedo? Turns out he is. According to Levi’s Archivist (how dope is that job???) Lynn Downey via One Trip Pass, Crosby was a huge fan of the Levi’s brand, often seen in its jeans and jackets.
Apparently the crooner hunted in a Canadian Tuxedo – Levi’s jeans and jacket. And after one trip in 1951, Crosby and a buddy were denied entrance to a Vancouver hotel due to the fact that they were in draped in denim, which had a sour stigma thanks to bad boys Marlon Brando and Jimmy Dean.
According to Downey, Crosby returned home to tell the story, which was relayed onto Levi’s. The red-labeled denim company in turn created a denim tuxedo jacket specifically for Crosby. Who could question the class of a man dressed in a legit tux jacket, denim or not?
Crosby loved the jacket so much that he rocked the Canadian Tuxedo to several press events. There are some replicas under lock and key in the Levi’s archives. What we wouldn’t do …
Respect.
We uncovered this marvelous piece on the Mister Mort blog. We agree with you Mort: The Canadian Tuxedo isn’t always wrong. Thank you for posting these wonderful images. You prove that this look is very much quite right.
PS: Your blog is dope as fuck.

Last night after dining at Upper West in Santa Monica, I spotted this guy on my way out. I asked him permission for a pic to be used on this blog, to which he agreed. I think he was slightly embarrassed for being called out for donning a Canadian Tuxedo, but, my friend, embrace it. You look hot, and the Canadian Tux is where it’s at. Stay strong: You are in great company.
On a side note, if you check out Upper West, make sure you save room for the doughnuts. Delicious.
