As Richard Press, grandson of Jacobi (J.) Press, himself, tells it, “The Grasshopper was our signature emblematic tie at our New Haven store near the Yale campus. A tale circulated of a Smith coed asking her Yalie date if the grasshopper motif tie he was wearing signified membership in a club.  Thinking quickly, the nimble-witted Eli responded that yes, indeed: he had been ‘tapped’ by the Grasshopper.”

And so the Grasshopper Club was born.
