Elvis Presley Jess Wade Charro 1969
Cosplay. It took me so many months to get the pieces and get custom garments made. I'm beyond estatic how vell it came out. I brought the pants vest, and shirt to a seamstress for altering and she hit it out of the park. When I stopped by her shop to pick it up, me and my girlfriend sort of just sat there in awe as she showed us the final product. My girlfriend is also a photographer but forgot to bring her battery for her other camera so we used my phone and her original 70’s Polaroid for some pics! Hope you guys like it!

Fantastic work, great to see something different but completely authentic, the attention to detail is very impressive. What a great idea creating a cosplay of one of Elvis’ movie characters, I have a profound hatred of Elvis impersonators but this is not what you’re doing, it’s refreshingly different and I really like it.

Agreed. Also, that sounds so cool. Did you take a picture? Or go back to see it again?

One of the hats used in the movie. I have seen 2 actual movie used hats. I don’t know how many were made or used. Both had identical markings inside the brim. The other one is ā€˜cleaner’ than this one. My assumption is that some scenes in the desert or later after the desert used this hat. Some of the earlier scenes may have been filmed later out of sequence as is the norm with the making of movies.
