By Phil Arnold — Original Elvis Blogmeister. The recent Auction at Graceland listed 3. Elvis memorabilia. The number of offerings keeps increasing, and this time there were enough items of Elvis’ clothing to fill an Elvis. Blog article. Blue Armadillo Sleeveless Jumpsuit and Jacket: You may not know it, but Elvis wore several two- piece jumpsuits like this one. Bill Belew and Gene Douchette at I. C. The armadillo name came from the shoulder patterns looking similar to the scales or scutes of an armadillo.

Elvis wore the blue armadillo two- piece jumpsuit at eight concert appearances in 1. There are many photographs of Elvis wearing the suit, which add to its value. There were nearly 1. The New The Angry Birds Movie (2016) Movie.

Elvis over the years, but most reside in the Graceland Archives. Because this auction presented a rare opportunity for collectors to acquire one, the minimum bid of $1. Collectors placed seven bids running the final price up to $2. Motorcycle Cap Gifted to Elvis’ Uncle Vester Presley: Elvis owned many Harley- Davidson motorcycles (Graceland currently has four of his Harleys on display), and he also owned a number of black cloth motorcycle hats. This one he gave to his Uncle Vester (Vernon’s brother). In 1. 98. 3, along with the cap, Vester sold other Elvis gifts like a 1. Pontiac Grand Prix and two pistols.

The cap resurfaced at the recent Auction at Graceland, and it was very popular. A total of 9 bids ran the price up to $6,0. Three Pair of Pants from Elvis Movies: It is interesting to identify the scenes where Elvis wore these pants. He wore the Viva Las Vegas pants (with a grey jacket) in the scenes where he went from hotel to hotel looking for Rusty, played by Ann- Margret. When he finally finds her poolside at the hotel, he serenades her and then she pushes him into the pool.

Elvis wore the Easy Come, Easy Go pants in all of the club scenes, the yoga scene, the scene with Captain Jack and Gil, and the Zoltan car scenes. Elvis wore the Flaming Star pants throughout the entire film. All three pairs came with multiple photos of Elvis wearing them. There were labels and tags that verified them as part of Elvis’ wardrobe for the films.

And all three had Letters of Authenticity. So, you would expect them all to go for the approximately the same price. It didn’t work out that way. The Flaming Star pants went for $7,5. Viva Las Vegas pants nearly equaled that at $6,7.

But the Easy Come, Easy Go pants did not sell. I don’t get it. Maybe it’s because that was a pretty weak movie and the other two were much more significant. Brown Leather Jacket: Elvis wore this dark brown leather jacket in the 7. Believe it or not, this coat came from Sears. Considering all the custom made clothing Elvis bought, who knew a Sears jacket was part of his wardrobe.

There is a little story about this jacket told by Dave Hebler, Elvis Bodyguard from 1. One day Elvis invited me upstairs to his bedroom at Graceland and offered me all of his old jumpsuits. He complained that they no longer fit him and that he wanted them out of his closet. I told him I had no use for 5.

I have the ability to store them at my apartment. In retrospect, I wish I had. Instead I moved a majority of the jumpsuits to the shed at the back of Graceland.

I did take a couple of Elvis’ jackets for the colder winters in Memphis.”So, if you think about it, because Hebler did not take the jumpsuits that day, the collection stayed at Graceland, and they can now be enjoyed by us fans in one place. Otherwise, they would have been sold to collectors over the years and we’d never see any of them. The leather jacket did not come with a photo of Elvis wearing it, and thus came in under the estimate at just $4,2. Electric Purple Button- Down Shirt: This is another item that Elvis gave away to his Uncle Vester. The auction website says: “Elvis’ personal fashion in the ’7.

With its puffy sleeve construction and bright purple hue, the offered example is in keeping with the bold patterns, colors and stylized designs of men’s fashion at the time.”This cotton shirt with a big collar, puffy sleeves, and two pleats on the back was a favorite with the bidders. It started with a minimum of $2,0. Elvis wearing it). Do you think it would have gone higher if the seller had bothered to get it ironed? Rabbit Fur Coat: Elvis gave this fur coat to Patti Parry.

I have seen her name before, but was not sure of her connection with Elvis, so I was thankful for the history the auction website provided: “In 1. Elvis for the first time. Patti, who ran into Elvis while on Santa Monica Boulevard, was in beauty school at the time with Larry Geller. When she met Elvis, the two immediately hit it off and she became one of the few women to spend time with the entourage in LA. Elvis treated her like a little sister and would often introduce her as part of the family. She would style Elvis’ and sometime Priscilla’s hair. Patti was there the time The Beatles met Elvis, she was in the audience for the “’6.

Comeback Special,” she was on his movie sets and at his Vegas performances, and she did his hair for the Aloha from Hawaii satellite broadcast concert. Theirs was a special brother- and- sister relationship and as with close friends and family, Elvis lavished Patti with gifts, including the offered rabbit fur coat.”The rabbit fur coat that Elvis gave to Patti has six front buttons and a pleat on the back. The fur has a size label “4. Finest French Rabbit” and has “EP” embroidered on the inside. It brought in a price just slightly below the estimate at $7,5. Is French rabbit fur superior to American? Red “Elephant Corduroy” Suit: This marvelous suit went from Elvis to super fan Paul Lichter to Chris Davidson for display at his Elvis- A- Rama Museum in Las Vegas.

The museum has been closed since 2. Davidson sold its entire inventory to CKX, the company that owned Elvis Presley Enterprises at the time. However, it would appear Davidson held on to this suit. I must say the folks writing the text for this auction’s item descriptions have risen to new heights in descriptive prose: “Elvis was not only a musical superstar, but he also served as an icon of style, helped in part by Bill Belew, who designed outlandish stage costumes that became street fashion for the trend- setting king of rock . In the 1. 97. 0s that he took his fashion to new heights and embraced the fun bohemian concept of using oneself as an art palette for fashion, mixing bold, bright colors, textures and patterns. The decade of the 1. No one could have carried those exaggerated elements of flared pants, oversized collars and accessories worn from head to toe better than Elvis Presley.”“Bill Belew, Elvis’ jumpsuit designer at the I.

C. Costume Company, created iconic jewel- covered jumpsuit synonymous with Elvis, but he also pushed the envelope with Elvis’ everyday wear, using the bold styles and popular fabrics of the day which included suedes, polyesters and corduroys. Corduroy, a woven fiber that lies in parallel lines forming a distinct “cord” pattern with the larger, thicker- striped version known as “elephant” corduroy, was often utilized for both men and women’s fashion.”The website stated that photos existed of Elvis wearing the suit although none were offered. There were only five bids, but the price must have leapfrogged up from the minimum of $3. The red corduroy suit topped out at $6. Suede, Leather, and Fur- Trimmed Jacket: This brown suede jacket has leather on the shoulders, pockets, and belted waist, and fur on the cuffs and collar. Wearing it, Elvis would have been prepared for any cold winter Memphis weather.

Once again, Elvis was cleaning out his closet when it got too full, and he gave the coat to his cousin Harold Lloyd. No pictures of Elvis wearing it were provided, but the coat does have interior label indicating that the jacket was “Custom Tailored for Elvis Presley. It was certainly an in- demand item, with 1.

The two historical figures are not exactly portrayed very flatteringly, but is fun to see two acting giants like Spacey and Shannon meet. Their conversation is pretty quirky, just like the entire film, but not exactly laugh- out- loud- funny. That makes for an entertaining tale but not an entirely memorable one.
