No. Absolutely not. There was only one (1) Mexican Sundial suit made. That's it.

Hi Tony, there is one sundial with two button on the sleeves and one with three, that's how I differentiated the two for years! I might be wrong but I am pretty sure!

Wrong again. There was and has always been only one (1) Mexican Sundial suit. Ask Leroy and take a look here:

Can you scan the pic and post it? And...I wasn't referring to your reply in regards to the Mexican Sundial suit...I was responding to PaulV's post about there being two Mexican Sundial suits--and this is simply not true.

It has been talked about here for a while. I know alot about the jumpsuits but not as much as Leroy. There is only one Mexican Sundail Suit. If you see photos from 1974 you will see that both sleeves had three cuffs on each sleeve. Well, in 1977 Elvis started to used the Sundail again but it has to be altered so that he could fit into it. Since the used of the suit over the course of the year 1977 the suit was really falling apart. During the April - May tour one of the cuffs came off of one of those sleeves. Also, many of the stones from the suit came off as well because he wore it alot. But again, their is only one Mexican Sundail Suit. Also, to add more to this. I would like to see that photo Ralph. It is known that only suit from 1970 to about 1973 had 2 or more suits.

I have also heard about the two versions of the 1976 "Colourful Flame Suit" but I never believed it. Especially because Elvis didn't like the suit to begin with. It seems that there is one difference tho and that would be in the color of the kick pleats. I'm very much looking forward to a picture of both suits.

I just removed the <br /> part of the link: it was obviously incorrect html coding.
