The origins of the denim suit don't appear to go back far. One story goes that the singer Bing Crosby was denied access to a hotel in Canada because he was dressed head-to-toe in denim.

Though they let him in eventually, Levi's made him a custom double-breasted suit jacket so that he would 'never have problems wearing Levi's jeans, even in fancy establishments,' according to the company.
