Arabian (Second Edition) (aka) King Of Spades Jumpsuit (1974-76-77)

Quite weird that so little is known about the jumpsuits, eventhough they were such important for his image. I've read a book about them and saw the dvd from that creator of the suits. But I think folks like Sonny, Joe or even Ginger can give additional information about the suits, like Elvis' motives to not wear one anymore, or why adjust one to wear years later.

The more time goes by the muddier the history becomes. Memories very much dim over 35-40 years and now I am afraid that personal agendas and self-promotion have become incentives to lay claim to the "truth"and furnish eager ears with the "inside story" . I believe much of the suits' history has been re-written misrepresented, and some of these untrue stories can be disproved as I have done with the Owl suit.

I found these pics online. I actually think this suit is pretty cool. Looked best on him in 74.

Notice the tiny mirrors on the suit, they are on both lapels on the gold embroidery, and also at the end points of the design. these mirrors are on the belt as well. these mirrors also appear on the Sundial suit and the never worn light blue ( unfinished ) 77 suit.
