Let the stars fade and fall, and I won't care at all, as long as I have you.

The second picture has Elvis looking a little strange
It?s definately 1977.... I think that it?s Cincinnatti 25th June 77.The sideburns are definately not 77 ones.

Sweet child in time
you?ll see the line
line that?s drawn between
good and bad
see the blind man
shooting at the world
bullets flying taking toll
If you?ve been a bad
oh Lord I bet you have
and you?ve not been hit
by flying led
you?d better close your eyes
you?d better bow your head and
wait for the ricochet

Ya'll can shoot me if you want to, but I personally think that this is one of the worst jumpsuit designs Elvis wore. It seemed to only make him look much bigger than what he was.
*ducks from objects being thrown in his general direction*.
Nobody get shot for having a personal opinionI personally don't think this is one of the best either

The belt on this suit is it real gold on it?
I dream a world where man no other man
will scorn. Where LOVE will bless the earth
and peace its paths adorn...
No Tommy, there's no real gold on it. Mostly they used a layer of gold over silver.
And Tony, I go along with you. Although it's a beautiful design It didn't become Elvis good. Even in 1974 when he didn't had put on the weight he carried in 1977 it made him look more heavy.
Thank you Leroy!
I knew you would see this and help out. One of our members elvis fan 1976 had asked me this question yesterday. Thank you for your help and for always being here!

Man,I just work here!(Elvis 68')
anyone know if this is correct
originally made in 1974 with 3(4 i've read some places) buttons
laid to rest
taken out again and made a second copy with 2 buttons?
has anyone when the 2 button was worn and likewise for the 3(4) button?
anyone have pictures showing the difference?
Hi sabbath, I think we can finally lay to rest the myth that there were two Mexican Jumpsuits forever, when Leroy meeet with Gene Docette the designer for the majority of Elvis' Jumpsuits he clearly stated that there was only ever one Jumpsuit made and that by the end of 1977 it was completely worn out by it's extended usage by Elvis, this would explain why there were buttons missing and when the suit was repaired they were never replaced.

I agree and it's nice to know I'm not in the boat alone on this one. The first time I saw him in it, it made me cringe. The design is beautiful but it doesn't wear well.
Got my family, my kids, my books and my music, I'm good, yeah, I'm good.....
please leroy tell them its only one sundail....74 and 77 just one suit!
Well, I think that point is clear now.
If I'm not mistaken, I believe I've seen this photo many times and dated as his very last concert in Indianapolis...1977... He look good, could be 1974!
