    I think he looks great in both ...If I have to choose one, I will go with the white one, but the red is a very close second...

    Of those two, the Red. Of all three matador the Black looked the coolest to me.

    I always thought it was cool when he'd come out and be wearing a different color one, other then white. I was more of a fan of his 56 and 68 special style of dressing then the Jump suits. As for the jump suit era though I always thought the American eagle one from the Aloha special was the best of the best, and of the rest in 1972 he wore a few I've seen called the "blue nail" suits,and the "Lucky (aka) Blue Swirl jump suit" , I always thought those colors looked good for him and showed up well on Camera.

    I've heard from different sources (can't recall where) that Elvis wasn't very fond of the Red Matador suite..can anyone go into detail about this, if it is true?

    I've also heard that Elvis didn't like the colour red period but we've seen a lot of pictures of him wearing red and look at Graceland while he was with Linda.

    Diane, I don't know if he didn't like the color red or if he just didn't like his suites that way...wasn't Graceland was decorated in red in the last years of his life..was that way 'til Priscilla had it redecorated when Graceland was opened to the public in '82.

    IMO, Elvis didn't like the suite that well..the Red Matador that is..as he only wore it on 4 different occasions.
