Thanks for the info, when I first saw this picture I thought, that looks more Kurt Russel's belt when he was in that movie.

Easily one of my favourites.

Kurt is then dressed in what many believed was a copy of the "Adonis Suit" but in fact it was the original. The director contacted Vernon Presley to ask permission to take a tour through Graceland to give Kurt the opportunity to get the Elvis feel. Remember that in those days Graceland was still a home and not a public museum. Vernon liked the idea and invited both men and also added it would be better for Kurt to try on one of Elvis' costumes to get the real feeling. That's the way this costume found its way into the movie although historical it's not correct. The "Adonis Suit" was designed in 1972 and therefore it does not fot in a movie which eneded in 1969.

when you look at the back of the suit in the film , there are more nailheads in the middle . these are not placed on the suit when you see a picture of Elvis ??

The film with Kurt Russell was re-released in March 2010, worth a look.

I agree with LeRoy.... It is the real suit Kurt Russell is wearing in the movie. Whenever in doubt, the best way to tell is to have a close look at the tailoring. I had a good look and the sleeve cuffs are fold-hemmed with mitered corners, the lapels are prick-stitched with boning and the collar is done over the lapels, not sewn flush and flipped up. It is the real suit, and yes, the extra studs are on the real one.

Did you ever notice that Kurt Russell wears two different belts in the movie?
