Although a tuxedo shirt is technically a dress shirt, it received its moniker after the advent of the tuxedo. The tuxedo was invented by Pierre Lorillard, who commissioned a tailless jacket for a ball. Although he did not wear it to the ball, several others wore the style, which was christened the "Tuxedo Jacket" after the name of the park in which the ball was held.
