Elvis Presley Denim Jacket-Large
Elvis Presley Denim Jacket - Size Large
I created this garment starting with a Jantzen Size Large denim jacket that I found at the Goodwill. Adding E-L-V-I-S letters from an orange Elvis T-Shirt, bindings of the orange T and a man's silk tie plus MANY hours upcycled the thrift store find into this treasured jacket that is another one-of-a-kind in my Elvis Collection. The most time-consuming part of this garment up-cycle was ripping out the red plaid cotton flannel buttonhole pockets and replacing them with the orange T fabric. Look closely at the back view to see the Pink Cadillac applique - again from the screen print on the Elvis T. I even Blogged on the design and ceation of this piece...check it out HERE.
The price includes shipping expense to contiguous USA locations.
