Elvis Presley's owned and worn Bill Belew custom designed black jacket with leather pockets and cuff. One of Elvis' favorite jackets, Elvis wore it often on stage. According to Charlie Hodge's letter of provenance that accompanied the jacket, Elvis wore it one day on stage and one of the cuffs got caught on something. His usual tailor was not available to repair it, so it was sent do a different tailor that did not repair it to Elvis' satisfaction, so he decided to give it to Ed Parker, his Karate teacher. Very good condition. The jacket comes with photos of Elvis wearing it, or one virtually identical, the letter from Charlie Hodge, a letter of provenance from Ed Parker, a letter authenticity from Ciro Romano, former director of IC Costume Co,. and a Gotta Have Rock & Roll™ Certificate of Authenticity.
