    I agree, I really like this suit and it would have been a good model from what he could have worn had he lived.

    The 2 piece suit would have been great for Elvis in 75-77 it would have hidden his weight better, you have to be in shape to look good in a jumpsuit.

    Can somebody tell me why this suit is the "benefit suit"? Any story behind this one? Thank you. GREAT shots here.

    In 75 Elvis did a benefit concert in Mississippi I believe. Correct me if I am wrong.

    Look at this: here you can see the jumpsuit-trousers under the jacket.

    He looked great in this suit. I think he should have used something like this, instead of the one piece jumpsuits, later on in his life. This is much more flattering IMO.

    Daddy, I miss you more every day. You will always be my hero..

    I have many great shots of Elvis in this great looking suit from Sandy Pichon's collection from the march/april 75 circa.

    To bad he didn't wear these 2 piece suits more often in 75 and later down the road they were great looking on him.
