What is a jean suit called?
A jean suit is sometimes called a Canadian tuxedo. The term comes from some clever marketing from Levi Strauss & Co. After Bing Crosby was turned away from a restaurant in Vancouver, Canada, because he was wearing a denim-on-denim ensemble, the jeanswear manufacturer unveiled an all-denim suit dubbed the Canadian tuxedo.
