Over the years Elvis gave me and my family many gifts. That was Elvis’ nature, he was a wonderful human being and never forgot where he came from and what he owed his fans. This dark blue suede jacket trimmed in red stitching and two front pockets was owned and worn by Elvis. Elvis bought this from a store in Las Vegas called Jackman. Elvis was cleaning out his closets one day as he often did and gave me a pile of clothes and told me to take what I wanted. Elvis did things like this all the time to family members and even fans.”
