# Archival Denim Tuxedos 'Levi's Vintage Clothing' Re-Released Bing Crosby's Denim Tuxedo By Megan Facciuolo | Published 2014-04-10 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/levis-vintage-clothing References: [slamxhype](http://slamxhype.com/style/levis-made-bing-crosby-denim-tuxedo-60-years-ago-just-re-released/) & [levisvintageclothing](http://levisvintageclothing.com/bing/) [Levi’s](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blue-tab) Vintage Clothing has released a replica of a denim tuxedo that was originally created for Bing Crosby in the 50s. Bing asked for [Levi's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/9rivet) to design the fancy denim getup after he was denied entrance into a [Canadian Hotel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hudsons-bay-stripes) for wearing jeans -- which is slightly odd considering the country is known for "Canadian tuxedos." The original tuxedo jacket was decorated with a corsage of Red Tabs. It also had a large leather patch on the inside printed with a “Notice to All Hotel Men” statement to ensure Bing never got denied from a hotel again. Levi’s Vintage Clothing Spring/Summer 2014 is incorporating a reproduction of the iconic jacket, but is only making 200 pieces. Even if you aren't a Bing Crosby fan, this jacket is right on trend. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 7% | Activity: 25% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Fashion for Men](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashionformen) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Replica Denim Fashion:** 'Levi's Vintage Clothing' has re-released Bing Crosby's denim tuxedo, highlighting the trend of replica denim fashion. - **Customized Fashion:** The incorporation of a large leather patch with a notice statement on the inside of the tuxedo jacket suggests a trend towards customized and personalized fashion items. - **Nostalgic Fashion:** The release of the denim tuxedo replica taps into the trend of nostalgic fashion, bringing back iconic designs from the past. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can explore opportunities to create and market replica denim fashion items that cater to the demand for nostalgic and customized fashion pieces. - **Retail:** Retailers can capitalize on the trend of replica denim fashion by featuring limited edition and exclusive items that appeal to consumers seeking unique and nostalgic fashion pieces. - **Hospitality:** The hospitality industry can consider embracing customized fashion options, such as allowing guests to wear personalized fashion items, to enhance guest experiences and cater to individual preferences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Reproduced Premium Vintage Denim](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/9rivet.md) - [Sophisticated Denim Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blue-tab.md) - [Nostalgic Denim Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/levis-and-pixar.md) - [Bold Denim Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bold-denim-collections-levis-and-adsb-andersson-bell-join-forces-to-reimagi.md) - [Golden-Age Hollywood-Inspired Menswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintage-styles.md) - [Archival Denim Reproduction](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1944-501-jeans-rigid.md) - [Cinematic Denim Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shaboozey-and-matty-matheson.md) - [Denim-Themed Luxury Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/levis-6.md) - [Handpicked Vintage Sporty Denim](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/repossessed-climb-jeans.md)
