Another suit that made its debut during the November 1972
tour was the already mentioned “Aztec
Star”
(better known as the “Tiffany
Suit”).
An original belt was designed but probably not used. At least Elvis
was never photographed with it, unless someone is sitting on top of
a stack of pictures. During the November tour, Elvis used two
different belts. We have already seen the
“White
Fireworks Belt”
and the
“Gold
Attendance Belt”.
Below you will see a picture of the “Aztec
Star”
on display at Graceland with the original “Aztec
Star Belt”. |

Although I have never
seen pictures of Elvis wearing the original belt, it’s highly
possible it was used during his January/February 1973 engagement in
Las Vegas.
During that period, he partly relied on 1972 outfits. |

During the same tour (or probably the Las Vegas engagement in
August/September), another jumpsuit was introduced on which at least
two different belts were used. It was the rare “Saturn
Suit”
(aka “Planet
Suit”).
Most pictures we know were taken in Long Beach, California on
November 15th, 1972, where Elvis used the
“Gold
Attendance Belt”.
But there is a picture of this suit while it was used during Elvis
January/February 1973 engagement in Las Vegas with another belt that
seems to be originally designed for the “Saturn
Suit”.
Although the quality is very bad, I will include it anyway. |

Another belt buckle from 1973
is the
"White Spanish Flowers"
this buckle is
unusually larger than the usual style.
This Jumpsuit is also quite rare in that
there are very few pictures of Elvis
wearing it to date. |
