Very rare pennant issued in conjunction to Elvis’s 1973 concert. This white pennant features blue text which reads, “The King Of Rock And Roll”, “ELVIS” in large letters bordered by musical notes, and the phrase, “The One and Only” . The image depicts a white jumpsuit with matching blue lined cape. Red lined kickpleats finish the ensemble.
Two almost identical versions were made of this suit, which were both worn during the 'Aloha shows'. Apparently, the suit Elvis wore during the rehearsal show was slightly bigger. It's also the version Elvis wore later on tour (and in Vegas) in 1973 and 1974.
Nowadays EPE/Graceland has both of the suits, one of the (three) capes, and the 'third belt'. A private collector (LM) owns one of the capes, as well as one of the first two belts; apparently also Ed Parker has one of the capes & belts on his possession. Also the original long cape is in private hands. It was sold during one of EPE's auctions.
Some light soiling, otherwise excellent condition.
