I really want a Nudie suit, For you that don't know Nudie suits were famous among country & western stars in the 40's, 50's, 60's, & 70's. I would say that the gold suit he did for Elvis is probably his most recognizable one however the ones he did for the flying burrito bros are probably my favorites of his as well as little jimmy dickens suits. Here are a couple of photos one of gram parsons (flying burrito bros) and Porter Wagoner. You can check out Nudie's website for some extra photos and more history about him. http://www.nudiesrodeotailor.com

you won't believe how many dumb looks you'll get in a western wear store like langstons and ask if they have anything inspired by nudie.
they only get worse if you say, "you know with rhinestones and embroidery"
i guess that also shows my cluelessness about the contemporary c&w rodeo scene.6strings
