ELVIS PRESLEY'S JOCKEY SHORTS

A unique and unusual rock 'n' roll relic, a pair of white cotton and nylon jockey shorts, with a wide, reinforced elastic waistband and a mesh outer layer. Three plastic reinforcing strips are sewn into the interior seams. A tag sewn into the interior gives the size as 32-34, and the brand as "Jockey Vitalizer". The underpants are slightly frayed and soiled, else very good. This unassuming garment was owned and worn by none other than the "King of Rock 'n' Roll", ELVIS PRESLEY (1935-1977). Present with the underwear is a signed an notarized letter from Mike L. Moon, owner of the now-defunct Elvis & Hollywood Legends Museum at Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, dated March 26, 2013, stating that these and three additional pairs of underwear were donated to the museum by Elvis's friend, confidant and fellow musician CHARLIE HODGE (1934-2006) in the early 1980's, and had been on display at the museum until their deaccession.
