some more..
For some reason I have alays thought this suit was a bit strange. This is one of those very few jumpsuits that I never really got excited over. In fact, it's not very flattering either.

Ive never really like this suit for some reason, I agree its not very flattering, it might be because Elvis doesnt look at his best in it and I associate it with that.

Here are a couple pics I took this past Aug. at Graceland. This suit actually features two shades of blue stones. Beautiful in person!
I agree, some jumpsuits are beautiful when you see them up close. Some stage pictures don't do justice to the stones and intricate artwork.Originally Posted by thejumpsuitman

i THOUGHT THE SAME OF THIS SUIT UNTIL I SAW IT UP CLOSE AND IN PERSON, IT WAS REALLY BEAUTIFUL, a friend of mine sent me some video of ELVIS wearing it and it looks plain and uninspiring. By the way I'M looking for the title of DICK GROBS book but i forget the name can anyone help me the title name?
The "Elvis Conspirousy". I can really recommend that book. It will probably cost you a year to read it.
thank you, I passed on this book some years ago, and regret it, i believe it came wiyh some photos from R. LEECH, thanks again i do appreciate the help.
I have seen the suit worn by an ETA at a contest in England and all the other contestants commented how amazing the suit looked under stage lights,it also never did much for me in the pictures but to see it is to appreciate it,
i think that goes for many of the Emroidered suits also.
try and walk a mile in my shoes
Nice pictures. This suite is a favorite of mine ! Elvis looked great in it in 1976 and '77. Wish he had worn it more often during these years.

would've really loved to see Elvis wear this during the summer of 1975..really a beautiful suite that suited him well i think.

i sure wished that he wore this suit for the CBS SPECIAL IN CONCERT, it would be more flattering for one, and agreat simple desighn that didn't show to much of the weight.
