New found information behind that Gold Lame Suit Nudie Rodeo Tailors North Hollywood men’s tailors shop was founded by Nudie Cohen. It was Nudie brainstorm that created the $10,00 Gold Lame Tuxedo for Elvis. Nudie was pure Hollywood, pure gaudy and pure glitz who also designed animal skin car interiors.

Singer Hank Williams was Nudie best customer. And it was Nudie again who designed jumpsuits for Elvis impersonators Alan Meyer. Recently when doing a cleaning after Nudie Rodeo Tailors closed their doors, this wonderful piece of Elvis memorabilia was discovered.

 

Elvis wore this complete lame tuxedo only once and it was featured on the 50,000 FANS CAN’T BE WRONG album cover. Although compared by Elvis jumpsuit era of the 70’s Elvis was reluctant to wear the full lame gear, and performed only once more wear only the jacket… 

Note: had Elvis foot size grew one size bigger, and his waist by only 2 inches after ten years. A far cry from his final physical condition just before his death in 1977.
