    This is a very cool-looking jumpsuite. I think it weighed Elvis down though, it looks like a very heavy suite, but still it looks awesome.

    jumpie

    I have heard that some people were saying that the Mexican sundial him only fit and that the other jumpsuits don't fit him in 1977,but i don't think that is true.
    I have seen pictures of elvis on august 18th 1975 and he is there fatter than he is in 1977 so al those things are not correct about the fitting of jumpsuits

    There's a friend of mine who just cannot fathom the idea that Elvis wore the Mexican Sundial suit for the first time in '74. This person honestly believes that Elvis didn't wear it until 1977.

    I agree he did look great in it in '74..hard to believe that it would be almost 3 years before he would wear the suite again.. But there must have been something that he was drawn to about it..i mean he wore it for almost all concerts in '77.

    There are several rumours, there is links to numerology etc, but I agree it does seem strange because there were several jumpsuits that would have fit Elvis, the Chief (Indian) or the Second Arabian (king of Spades)??

    I've also heard that rumor too Matt about it having something to do with "numerology"...don't particularly remember what though, maybe someone here does

    The two button jumpsuit was the one made in 1977. The three button is from 1974. he had it remade after wearing the 1974 one a few times in 1977.

    I have already covered this off in another thread, and it is already further along in this thread..... There was only one suit
