Tuxedo Invented
On October 10, 1886, in Tuxedo Park, New York,
men’s fashions took a step —well, either forward or
backward, depending upon your point of view. That
was the day Griswold Lorillard invented the
tuxedo. The word comes from P’tuksit,
the Delaware Indian word for “wolf.”
The Delawares divided themselves
into three groups, with the turtle, the
turkey, and the wolf as their totems. In the
18th century, the word was anglicized to
Tuxedo, from which Tuxedo Park and
Tuxedo Lake, in New York, took their
names. When the area became a fashionable IV
resort, the tuxedo—without tails—became Jt I
the mode of dressing down! •
Every generation laughs at the old fashions
hut religiously follows the new.
