I often read that the suits Elvis wore on concerts have names (:lmfao: not long ago I had no idea that the suits have names). And it seems some people are more interested in the Elvisī suits than in him (or at least it seems like that). And Iīm starting to get curious about all the different suits he wore. Could someone maybe post photos of Elvis in a lot of different suits and write the name of the suits? Before now it didnīt matter to me. But I now would like to know at least a few of his suits. Iīve only heard of a few: The suit he wore at his last concert was called something like "Sundial" as far as I know. But I donīt know any other suit. :D

And another question about the suits? Did some fans or someone make up the names, or Elvis, or who? Did Elvis know the names of the suits? (:lmfao: I really have no idea about the suits yet)

It was the fans who named the jumpsuits Elvis didn't have names for them.

Nicole, each and every suit has an original name given by its designers. They were all based on the outlook of the design. Because there was little or no knowledge the fans started to make up names too, most based on Album pictures of just their own imagination. Unfortunately the fan-given names are more popular than the original ones.

That's a pretty good answer even I didn't know.
I do like to come up with fantasy names for suits, such as the Corno Grande Fringed Appennini Oregano-leaf Suit. It's up to my imagination what it would have looked like, but I think it's okay since Elvis had and understood humor anyhow.
