Silver Rider Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. How do we know that is an imitation? Who imitated who and when? Did they both have the same seamstress? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperDave Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidZoso Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 How do we know that is an imitation? Who imitated who and when? Did they both have the same seamstress? 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimmyPageZoSo56 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 The dragons on the black dragon suit are Chinese dragons that were only allowed to be worn by the emperor and yes, they signify good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DragonTelecaster Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 I take it Jimmy wasn't wearing it when he broke his finger prior to the first O2 concert date? Musta been at the cleaners... DT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
