Elvis Presley's Black Tie

Elvis Presley wore this black tie before gifting it to his friend and sometime bodyguard, Bill Yates. Yates was a Sun Records recording artist in the 1950s and 60s who traveled between Memphis and Hollywood with Presley. This incredible collection comes from Elvis Aaron Presley Jr., who was very close friends with Colonel Parker (Elvis Presley's longtime manager) for decades. He gifted many of these items to Elvis Aaron Presley Jr. These items have been maintained in Junior's collection for decades and now is the first opportunity for the general public and collectors to own his cherished collection.

Elvis Aaron Presley Jr. was managed by four of Elvis Presley Senior's managers, and was the biggest headliner in Las Vegas, earning over $25,000 per show.
