    what suit its this

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1ZoPyP9Oro

    i think this looks like footage of the suit that is supposed to have fringing down the arms and the side of the suit, I've been told before that this suit didn't exist.

    Any one help with identifing this suit?
    I never looked for trouble but I never ran.

    Short Fringe Jumpsuit

    It's February, 1971 (I've always thought it was shot by a news crew, but maybe not) and the suit is the 'tassle' suit, covered in short tassles:

    Thanks for that information Leroy, surely like you say photo' in good quality you would think existed somewhere.
    When it comes to 1971 its hard to find alot of things when it comes to audio footage, and photo's, especially in Vegas and Tahoe....that time frame imo is still a big mystery in the Elvis world. Wasn't well documented.

    thanks, i thought it may have been the knot suit, but i didn't think he wore it. Wow, what ya can find on the net. The only other suit i thought it might have been is a version of the short fringe that had fringing down the arms and legs as well.

    What other version are you referring to hounddog ? I hope not the one below 'cause that's a fake picture...
