Sabrejet Posted August 8, 2013 Share #1 Posted August 8, 2013 Is it me or do those stripes look decidedly merrowed? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2386878/Elvis-Presleys-army-uniform-1950s-service-auction-13-000.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patches Posted August 8, 2013 Share #3 Posted August 8, 2013 While the OD bordered 3rd Armd Div patch would be okay, the stripes? nah, a total fake total phony, I would love to see it's tag, hmm 1973 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabrejet Posted August 8, 2013 Author Share #4 Posted August 8, 2013 I think there are more "alleged" Elvis uniforms out there than Elvis was ever actually issued! ( I have some myself! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted August 9, 2013 Share #5 Posted August 9, 2013 Have we see his Dress Blues and his Khaki Coat set yet? That's what the "creative" ones seem to have overlooked, these Fatique Shirts and now this AG Class A are so pedestrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabrejet Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share #6 Posted August 9, 2013 The only original Elvis uniforms really worth having are behind glass in "Graceland"...and they aren't about to come on to the market anytime soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig_pickrall Posted August 9, 2013 Share #10 Posted August 9, 2013 Ian, I like what you did with the collar. Did you starch it to get it to stay in that position? You might want to give it a little hair oil stain across the back of the collar to give it that period look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabrejet Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share #11 Posted August 9, 2013 No Craig...it's an unissued M51 so therefore naturally stiff. I like the hair-oil idea though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
