Elvis 100% - Jumpsuits - White Herringbone

White Herringbone suit is a white two-piece suit, with the same design as the two previous suits, with simple designed pants. The two inches white fabric belt, reminiscent of a karate belt, has the same herringbone pattern with approximately six inches long fringes at the end. The belt was tied around the top part of the outfit.

Elvis usually used a light blue scarf to this white suit, sometimes he wore the same type of scarf as the one he wore in the television special from 1968. In this Las Vegas season he used a black scarf with a scarf ring. Elvis’s band – later called the “TCB Band” – also wore scarves in this same way during the first two Las Vegas seasons.

White Herringbone, White Cossak or White Karate Style suit, can be see on display at Graceland.
