Agreed, very unflattering suit.
If your an Elvis fan, no explanation is necessary....
If your not, no explanation is possible!

Looked better off stage.

I love the white suit that he wore in The 68 Comeback Special.
America has contributed four things to the world that are really unique: Baseball, Coca-Cola, Mickey Mouse and Elvis Presley. And only one of them is human - - Jerry Hopkins - "Elvis" - A Biography.
I like the Penguin suit. But then again I also love the gypsy suit. It's one of my favourites.
I agree with you Cheif77Nothing can top that Mexican Sundial jumpsuite

I heard that Elvis used the so-called Penguin Suit because he was late for the show and he did'nt have enough time to change into a jumpsuit... I agree that hee doesn't look too great in it, but still it's a nice looking suit and the fact that Elvis only wore it once on-stage makes it kind of a classic... don't you think ?
Still, about the reason he wore the suit, correct me if i'm wrong... it may be just a story.
It is fortunate that he only wore this suit on stage once (that we know of anyway)...definitely not a favorite of mine!!
TCB!
