Elvis Presley owned and wore this red velvet jacket in the 1960's. Fully lined in black satin, the jacket is lush red velvet with black shawl collar, cuffs and accents. In 1968 Vernon and Dee Presley gave the red velvet jacket to their friends C.W. Bradley and his wife Roberta. Bradley, the officiating minister at Elvis' funeral service, kept the jacket in his family for close to 40 years. The jacket is accompanied by an affidavit from Dee Presley, dated 2006, indicating that she saw Elvis wear the jacket and that she and Vernon gave the jacket to the Bradley family in 1968. Retaining its original tight seams, the jacket is in very fine condition considering its age, with only minor fading, a few small stains, and a few pulls on cuff material.
