Jumpsuit Q

[Lisarose]

What was the first jumpsuit Elvis wore on stage and where?
Which jumpsuit did he wear the most?

I know that he first appeared wearing the black two-piece - is that considered a jumpsuit really?

Have you see this thread: http://www.tcb-world.com/showthread.php?24143-A-Brief-History-Of-Jumpsuits I have looked in my books. This question is for Leroy. I would not want to give out the wrong information.

Think it was the On Stage aka White Pearl aka Cossack jumpsuit , first worn on 26th January 1970...Leroy will me if I'm wrong :D

Id say the most worn suit would have to be the Sundial suit. Pretty much worn every show in 77. (I think).

OOh, thanks, I knew there was one describing all the jumpsuits.

I can see that, it certainly is easily identified by most.

Don't forget he also wore it in 1974 for a few shows as well, so I'd have to say you're right that the Sundial suit is probably the most worn suit. A close second might be the Bicentennial suits he wore at the end of 1975 and throughout the summer tours of 1976. But there were 2 different versions of that one (white sleeves with blue vest & blue sleeves with white vest) so I don't know if those could be considered the same suit or two different suits, even though they are both considered the Bicentennial suit... :hmm:

TCB!

I Think The First Jumpsuit Elvis Wore Was Either,The Black Suit With Gold Brocade,
Or The Black Unicorn Suit. Not A 100%.

I totally forgot about that suit! Although I do try to forget the early part of 76. Not my favorite period.

Never heard of the Black Unicorn:doh:

You are right about that

[Lisarose]

I found the Black Brocade in the Jumpsuit Gallery, there was a link for the Black Unicorn, but sadly it was no longer available to view.
I could not find the Bicentenniel suits, I found something with 2 peice suits, but nothing that said specifically Bicentenniel - should I
assume they were the same?
Leroy!
Where are you, luv? I would buy a booklet on jumpsuits from you if you published one!
