Elvis Presley Custom Designed Nudie Jumpsuit
Elvis Presley Custom Designed Nudie Jumpsuit (c. 1970's). Few entertainers in history have ever achieved the status Elvis. 25 years after his death, the Rock and Roll icon is bigger than ever. Known throughout the world as "The King," Presley is revered by millions of fans spanning many generations. Perhaps more than any other entertainer, Presley became known for his stage attire in the last decade of his career. His outrageous, flamboyant jumpsuits have been parodied, coveted and sought after the world over. Offered here is a Dijon yellow custom jumpsuit associated with Elvis during the early 1970's. Created by Elvis' longtime friend and personal designer Nudie Cohen, this elaborate suit features an array of colorful Eagle embroideries on the front shoulders, back and at the ankles, outlined by glimmering rhinestone beads. The inside lining of the jumpsuit bears two sewn-in tags, one being an official Nudie's of Hollywood label and the other an identification tag that reads, "Name: Elvis Presley." Acquired directly from Nudie's store in Hollywood shortly after his passing, accompanying this lot is a copy of the receipt issued at the time of purchase. Presley jumpsuits, on the rare occasions they come to the market, sell for $60,000 and up. Our jumpsuit has an opening bid at just a fraction of that amount. A rare opportunity to acquire a museum quality piece of not just Rock and Roll history, but of American pop culture at its best. Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
