History of Tailoring

After doing some research about who invented the first tuxedo...who could have either been Pierre Lorillard IV of Tuxedo Park, New York or King Edward VII of London. I came across an article stating that, "at a formal ball, held at the Tuxedo Club in October 1886, the young Lorillard wore a new style of formal wear for men that he designed himself. He named his tailless black jacket the tuxedo after Tuxedo Park." More about this article can be read at: http://inventors.about.com/od/tstartinventions/a/tuxedo.htm.
