few more...of the comet one of my favourite jumpsuit :)

[kennyelvis]

This suit was used at Madison square garden, all the pictures you have put up here now exept the two on the top, are from MSG.
The two at the top are from Las Vegas august - September 1972.

[epontour72]

Actually that isn't exactly correct...

All except the top two are from Chicago not MSG. MSG was the last time in 72 that he used the RE15 microphone on tour. In Chicago he used the Shure SM57 with windscreen which is what he is using in these pics.

You are right about the top two though...they are from Vegas Aug-Sep 72.

[yiddle yisa]

wait...he used that suit before he used to eagle one right?

[FrankieRider2]

The B & W Shots in the first post except for the cape shot (MSG) are from the Chicago June 16 '72 concert. Those were printed in a Tunzi book several years ago.... which had some fantastic photos of this suit in it.

man, in some of those shots, Elvis looks like a god:notworthy

[Jumpsuit Junkie]

I'm trying to figure this out... what's the difference between this jumpsuit(Anonis/Comet jumpsuit) and Adonis jumpsuit??:hmm: The design looks pretty much the same to my eyes....

Jouni

[amzietamzie]

elvis looks EXCELLENT in these pics... you're right- just like a god... :hmm:

[Jumpsuit Junkie]

Well...isn't that first pic taken from the Planet jumpsuit(aka Saturn suit)? The second pic is in this thread already... so that makes it the Anonis/Comet jumpsuit i suppose. This pic i attached is taken from the Adonis jumpsuit thread... i think it looks just like the Anonis/Comet jumpsuit. Wow...now i'm confused!:wacko: I hope you understand what i'm trying to say...:blush:

Jouni

The first Jumpsuit is the Comet/Planet Jumpsuit. The second one is the Adonis Jumpsuit...... an easy way to distinguish between the two is that the Adonis has port holes on the chest V shape.

There's a nice story about the "Adonis Jumpsuit". In 1979 Kurt Russell played Elvis in the movie with the same name. At the end of the movie was the scene where Elvis' comeback in Vegas was shown. Kurt is then dressed in what many believed was a copy of the "Adonis Suit" but in fact it was the original. The director contacted Vernon Presley to ask permission to take a tour through Graceland to give Kurt the opportunity to get the Elvis feel. Remember that in those days Graceland was still a home and not a public museum. Vernon liked the idea and invited both men and also added it would be better for Kurt to try on one of Elvis' costumes to get the real feeling. That's the way this costume found its way into the movie although historical it's not correct. The "Adonis Suit" was designed in 1972 and therefore it does not fot in a movie which eneded in 1969.

That's a beautiful Jumpsuit.
My best after the Aloha ...

[jebadius]

It's white for me all the way!

[Wild_In_The_Country]

hmmm, i though Elvis wore this suit with a White leather belt with a simular pattern to the suit.

http://img184.imageshack.us/img184/4715/comethr6.jpg

or is it a belt the designed later to go with the display of the jumpsuit???

[RS277]

I don't recall ever seeing Elvis wear this suit with anything other than the gold attendance belt. I believe the belt with the suit design may have been made to go with it, but never worn by Elvis. I might be wrong. Sounds like a job for Leroy.

What about the belt they used for the film "Elvis - The Movie". Is this the original belt or is this another self made belt.
It looks different to the belt shown above.
:hmm:

I'm sure it's not the original belt. It must be a fake. Look at this scene:

I've never seen such a belt before :hmm:

[The King's Queen]

Mmmm...loving this suit!!

[ehollier]

Did someone say "Adonis??".............:blush::blush::blush:

[Unchained Melody]

A great looking suit. though i found it very strange vernon would let kurt wear the actual real suit of elvis' in the movie Elvis 1979......

[1100ccRider]

A great looking suit. though i found it very strange vernon would let kurt wear the actual real suit of elvis' in the movie Elvis 1979......

I don't believe it's the same suit because the studding on the back in the movie version is different than on Elvis' original. Well, I'm 99% sure of this, anyway -- it's been a while since I noticed the discrepancy!

[elvispresleytheking]

You know, it is so strange. I had a dream last night that Elvis wore this in 1977. I know it's not true, but dreaming of Elvis In Concert with the Adonis suit kept me convinced for several hours!

[shelley.m.]

A very simple looking jumpsuit.Elvis looks great in it!!!

[elvia7]

It's white for me all the way!

Thanks for the info, when I first saw this picture I thought, that looks more Kurt Russel's belt when he was in that movie.

[Mr.TCB]

Easily one of my favourites.

These two jumpsuits are really similar, but different! OMG, thanks for these two pictures, I love them!

when you look at the back of the suit in the film , there are more nailheads in the middle . these are not placed on the suit when you see a picture of Elvis ??

[Jumpsuit Junkie]

The film with Kurt Russell was re-released in March 2010, worth a look.

[thejumpsuitman]

I agree with LeRoy.... It is the real suit Kurt Russell is wearing in the movie. Whenever in doubt, the best way to tell is to have a close look at the tailoring. I had a good look and the sleeve cuffs are fold-hemmed with mitered corners, the lapels are prick-stitched with boning and the collar is done over the lapels, not sewn flush and flipped up. It is the real suit, and yes, the extra studs are on the real one.
