"Black Rope Fringe" This performance suit to my knowledge was never worn in an Elvis Concert, but was something to consider over the white fringe, and is striking under the stage lights!

Suit #1
You want a more 50’s Elvis? Then this is the look you want! Here is a little Elvis fact for you! In the 1950s Elvis wore typically African-American clothes that he purchased at Lansky's on Beale Street in Memphis. This Gold lame jacket, black shirt, black baggy pants, and black & white two tone shoes or saddle shoes, was an outfit worn by Elvis in the Early years in 1957.
It was definitely a unique look for the time.

Suit #9
During his fall tour in 1972 Elvis wore a bright red jumpsuit on stage. The costume quickly became a fan favorite and one of his most famous stage costumes. Fans began referring to it as the “Burning Love” jumpsuit. Also, the song “Burning Love” had been a recent hit for Elvis, and he included it in his song selection while on tour that year. There was Confusion about the “Burning Love” jumpsuit because he wore a white jumpsuit and at the Madison Square Garden engagement, and it was given the same name. Elvis also appeared in the white suit on the cover of the album Burning Love which is why it was christened “Burning Love.” Elvis eventually donated the red burning love suit or the red matador as it is also called to the National Cerebral Palsy Telethon in 1972. In October 1995, the suit sold at a Las Vegas auction for a record $107,000. WOW! The Red Burning Love jumpsuit has a unique history and is also very impressive jumpsuit to behold.

Suit # 10
The Black Pyramid or Black Butterfly jumpsuit was originally, designed by Bill Belew, in 1972. The sequined black and gold jumpsuit and cape is a beautiful addition to the Jumpsuit options and can be worn with the traditional black butterfly belt or the Gold World Champion Attendance Record belt awarded to Elvis from the international hotel for breaking all the attendance records. I love this period in Elvis's career, where he was just coming off the 68 Special, and he Dominated Vegas with his brand new acts spring boarding his career in the city that never sleeps! Viva Las Vegas!

Suit #13
“The Concha suit” is one of Elvis' most famous suits worn and immortalized in the movie “Elvis That’s The Way It Is” concert/documentary made by MGM released on November 11, 1970. The film documents Elvis' Summer Festival in Las Vegas during August 1970. It was his first non-dramatic film since the beginning his movie career in 1956, and the film gives us a clear view of Presley's return to live performances after years of making movies. Although some was filmed on the lots of MGM most of the footage takes place onstage at the International Hotel in Las Vegas. “The Concha Suit” originates from the Mexican word for metal ring hence the ring design on the suit. Conches are also intergraded on the macramé belt. Very post 60’s look with the belt.
