Lot Essay
This beige raw silk blazer was worn by Elvis as he portrayed Ross Carpenter in 1962's Girls, Girls, Girls alongside Stella Stevens. The jacket can be seen most clearly in the Pirates Den club sequence as Elvis sings 'The Chains That Bind.' The scene was used to create the 1993 'Young Elvis' 29 cent stamp. This stamp was the first stamp in the 'Legends of American Music' series and was released on what would have been Elvis's 58th birthday. This lot was previously in the collection of longtime Paramount Studios set designer John Garo, who received this jacket as a gift from Elvis himself.
