Catalogue Note
Elvis Presley famously wore Lansky Bros. attire during much of the 1950s, including his early appearances on the “Louisiana Hayride” as well as on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1956. Presley became a lifelong customer at the Beale Street institution. The King was laid to rest in a Lansky Bros. white suit and blue tie.
