You can't always skip the lineup, even if your name is Bing Crosby. In 1951 a hotel in Vancouver, B.C. famously denied the American crooner a room after he showed up rocking a pair of Levi's jeans. To avoid any awkward incidents like this in the future, Levi's hooked up their boy Bing with a custom denim tuxedo, which you can cop right now—a replica at least.

The tuxedo is crafted from the same denim used for 501® Jeans, and decorated with Red Tabs, held onto the lapel with a cluster of shiny copper rivets. What allows this jacket to truly stunt is the interior leather patch that features “Notice to All Hotel Men”, stating that denim is a perfectly appropriate fabric and anyone wearing it should be allowed entrance into any establishment.
