Elvis Presley worn "Elvis In Concert" TCB red satin tour jacket that he gave to U.S. Congressman Ken Gray in 1977. Elvis originally met Gray in 1957 on board a cruise trip from Los Angeles to Hawaii. Twenty years later they met again at the Arena at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale,, Illinois (the Congressman's district) where Elvis took off this jacket that he had been wearing on the bus and gave it to him. The label which would indicate the size was removed from the jacket. In overall very good, vintage condition, the jacket was carefully stored by Gray for over 30 years since that day. In very good condition, the jacket comes with a photocopy of the original letter of provenance that Congressman Gray wrote on his official Congress of the United States letterhead, after he was retired, and a Gotta Have Rock & Roll™ Certificate of Authenticity.
