One thing i have heard and also just found on youtube a video of john wilkinson ( elvis rhythm guitarist) saying Elvis payed $140,000 for the aloha suit ? the invoice shows $5000 for both so that is maybe something Elvis joked about, or the band members just didn't have the right info as we do now with the invoice. OR which may be true he might have paid 140,000 for the big horseshoe ring he wore and the story got mixed up.
i deleted a previous post commenting on the stars being upside down on the second aloha belt. by no means was it to offend anyone if you had read it and i deeply apologize if it did.
