An Elvis Presley vest from Fun in Acapulco and Frankie and Johnny

Paramount, 1963/United Artists, 1966. Short black wool vest with off-white soutache on the shoulders (front and back) and the bottom of the vest, and a rhinestone border with white leather fringe on the front and back yoke, bearing a red-lettered Western Costume Co. Hollywood label with the typed inscription, "No. 2551-1 / Elvis Presley / Chest 42." Accompanied by three stills from the two films. Presley wears this vest (with only the soutache embellishment) while singing "The Bullfighter Was a Lady" in Fun in Acapulco. The vest was subsequently altered with the addition of the fringe and rhinestones and worn by him in Frankie and Johnny while singing "Hard Luck" and "Shout it Out."
