Autumn Ball in October, 1886, when
young Griswold Lorillard, son of Pierre
V., wore the tailless dress coat to this
grand ball of the societal resort area of
Tuxedo Park, New York. At this time,
TuxectQ Park — 40 miles northwest of
New Y'ark, City, overlooking Tuxedo Lake
— was an elite hunting and fishing resort,
known as the millionaire's haven.
Griswold Lorillard, the fashion
maverick, shocked the society circle,
when he sported the tailless coat to the
Tuxedo. Park Club's white -tie -and -tails
Autumn Ball. There are tales that the'
coat worn by Griswold (Grizzy for short
was designed by his father and was a
scarlet satin-lapeled affair which was
tailored, if not tailed, along the lines of
the pink coats worn by hunters riding to
hounds:
The tuxedo was not an instant success,
yet it was not without its admirers.
Traditionalists adopted a condescending
attitude toward the innovation, regarding
it as semi -formal evening attire. The tux-
edo came in two styles: With a shawl.coi-
lar and 'satin -faced lapels, and with peak-
ed lapels.
Accbrding to the American For- .. ..-
malwear Association, the tuxedo look has
always been more popular in the USA
than in Europe due to its greater infor-
mality and comfort.
The complete outfit is often referred to
in America as "Black Tie" in`distiction
from the formal "White Tie."
