Elvis Presley Owned & Worn Suzy Cream Cheese Two-Tone Brown Suede Fringed Jacket

Elvis Presley owned and worn Suzy Cream Cheese two-toned brown suede fringed jacket.

Elvis gifted this stunning jacket, that he would wear as a shirt, to his friend Shaun Nielsen, who first met Elvis when he was a back-up singer on his gospel album "How Great Thou Art." Shaun sang with Elvis until his final show.

One day when they were recording in the Jungle Room at Graceland, he took the members of his band and vocalists upstairs and told them each to pick out something that they liked. This jacket was just one of many items he gave to Shaun throughout their friendship and working relationship.

Condition: Very Good

Authenticity: Letter of provenance from Shaun Nielsen and a Gotta Have Rock & Roll Certificate of Authenticity.
