The suit that Elvis has on in these photos is the larger 'third' suit which was made in the latter part of '73 due to Elvis's weight gain. The last time he wore the actual 1/14/73 "Aloha From Hawaii" suit was during his February, 1973 engagement in Las Vegas, NV.

The Aloha Jumpsuit is my all time Faveorite next to Elvis 1950s Gold Lame Elvis had so many great looking Jumpsuits....but the Eagle suit is most likely the most famous to the world.

I think the third (larger) one was needed in 1973. In April he'd already put on weight. In some pictures it's showing, in others it don't. The one he wore in 1974 is definately the third version. At least that was what Butch told me. But I never counted on the invoice to come up. I saw it a couple of days ago and I'm still searching my machine so I can post it.

Again we agree Leroy. The third suit of '74 was quite different. Again, have a good look at the tailoring techniques. The collar is completely different on this suit and is more similar to the collars on other suits from '74 like the King of Spades, Blue Target and Sunburst.

The reason for the two suits is one was for the rehearsal show and the up coming tour in which was made a liitle bigger as elvis lost wieght for the show and knew he would gain it back the weight loss was for show purpose only, and a smaller version made for the TV show in which made him look even more fit on tv being smaller and tighter as tv tends to add weight anyway because tv is 2 dimensoinal and flat. the reason the studs on the 2 look different ( small are gold and the bigger looks silver) as far as the gold studs is, the small was worn the one time for TV and the bigger takin and worn and sweated on ect.. which anyone knows by owning a jumpsuit and sweating and washing turns gold studs to tarnish and appear silver over time and in pictures.
