How do we know that is an imitation? Who imitated who and when? Did they both have the same seamstress?

I think Elvis starting wearing these jump suits on his 1972 tour. This one is probably from 1973 at the famous Aloha From Hawaii concert in Honolulu. You can see quite an assortment of these at Graceland. There's a whole room dedicated to them.

I have always thought Jimmy got some of the idea for the white dragon suit from this Elvis jumpsuit which was made and worn before Jimmy had his. I even did a thread about this on the old board on here.Elvis's jumpsuit is considered a Chinese Dragon. It made it's first appearance at the September 2nd dinner show in Las Vegas and was seen more often during his October ' 74 tour.

Here are a few more pics and these were taken in Detroit,MI. October 4th 1974
