This is Elvis Presley's owned and worn custom made mohair tuxedo suit from Lansky's in Memphis. The suit comes with photographs of Elvis wearing the tuxedo at the gates of Graceland, greeting fans when he returned from the army: after returning from the army Elvis gave a press interview in his uncle Vernon Presley's office out behind Graceland on March 7, 1960. Days later on March 12th Elvis walked down to the gates of Graceland in his Lansky mohair tuxedo and spent time at the gates signing autographs for fans, taking photographs and spending a good amount of time socializing with the fans at the gate. With both Lansky Beale street labels and custom "styled for Elvis Presley" labels. Also comes with letter of provenance from Vernon Presley who donated the tuxedo to the Memphis Salvation army for a fund raising event. Very good condition.
