Known Dates Worn:-

June 10, 1972 (2:30 pm) New York City, NY. great shots man, want to save these to favorites, but no option here. elvis looked sensational in blue(y)(y)(y)

[The King's Queen]

This is another of my fav suits. Elvis just looked so good in blue...any shade. Of course, he looked good in just about anything...:blush:

[elvispresleytheking]

I love it for the simple embroidery before he switched to mainly embroidered jumpsuits

[elvispresleytheking]

and lets just make it simple: Elvis looked great in powder blue (Tapestry, Blue Nail, Wheat, Unworn Suit (too bad we didnt get to see it))

Ugh, the Unworn Suit looks terrible (n) there is also another exception to this as well. The Blue Egyptian Bird aka Blue Bicentennial 1976, this is not a good look for Elvis IMO. I just couldn't see Elvis wearing anything like this in 1970-1973.

Okay, the Blue Bicentennial wasn't that best, but hey, its better than the V-Neck.

jumpsuit worn is NOT was early believe - Blue Swirl, Mirror Belt BUT instead
Blue Cluster, White Fireworks Belt
This is true, the blue swirl and mirror belt was worn one night before in Fort Wayne IN on the 12th

[drumzz70]

There is a great picture of the original belt for this suit , from the picture it looks as it ( as well as the owl belt ) was made in a suede or felt material and not a coated leather as it has no shine to it. link here www.elvisnow.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=10&pos=20 you can click the picture and enlarge it, also shows the dragon, peacock, and ( stone and nail ) young men belt.
