Just for fun. Which are your favorite Elvis Jackets and coats?

[Raised on Rock]

Is it just me? or Elvis had it when it was about choosing jackets and coats

Fashion tendencies come and go, sure thing, but in his days, Elvis did had it in terms of fashion, he pretty much remains defining cool in that area.

Even the so many times trashed jumpsuits, can be so cool when judged in their appropriate context.

But this is about street clothes, about coats and jackets to be precisely, so: post your favorite pics of Elvis wearing your favorites. Have fun!

Here are a few of mine to start this.

P.S. If anyone has stories about where any particular jacket came from, if they where common back on the day, and where are they now if they're not in Graceland, would be great to share.

Here are some of my favorites, although it's hard to pick only a few because Elvis knew how to dress and he looked good in almost every jacket or coat.

Sorry, went 'off topic' had to put the itsey bitsey white shorts in.LOL:notworthy:notworthy:notworthy:notworthy

That chocolate colored suit is my all-time favorite, especially when he wore it this way!
I also loved his "apache scarf" phase, Scarves were just so much cooler to wear than ties, doncha know!
And the last is not just a white shirt. It has a lot of beautiful detailing.

From the 50's: Black Leather, Loud Pink, Red and Gold Lamé.

From the early 70's: Fringe Leather Jackets.

The so called, rainbow fringe is a pretty well known one, it was a gift from the International Hotel to Elvis in Aug '70, yet, haven't seen pics of him wearing it until '72, '73 and '74. Does anyone has a pic of Elvis wearing it earlier than that?

Another fringe jacket, the light blue velvetish looking one. The only time I have seen Elvis wearing that, is during the Houston Astrodome concerts in Feb '70, any info about that one? This last one is a favorite of mine.

I love the black, and brown versions of the suit he wore for the press conference after the 1969 opening night at the international.
