Elvis Presley Red Caftan Robe
As suited to the King of Siam as to the King of Rock and Roll, Elvis was so taken with this flowing, floor-length red and gold Kimono Caftan robe while on his March 1977 vacation in Hawaii that he bought it and gave it to his "Anna," fiancee Ginger Alden. For Elvis, a man given to rhinestone and opal sequined jump suits with embroidered eagles, the robe was actually a refreshing change in cultural tastes, without a stone or stud in sight. The traditional island caftain has an oriental Chinese Mandarin collar, butterfly half-sleeves, thick cotton fabric on the outside and a silky soft lining on the interior. The meticulous gold-woven embroidery swirls gracefully throughout the front and back of the garment and over the toggle-style buttons down the front center (top button is missing). Approx. 53" from neckline to hemline, in beautiful but worn condition with no pilling, staining or snagging. We'd have killed to have seen Elvis sing "Jailhouse Rock" in this outfit. Caftan comes with LOA from Ginger Alden. Ginger wore a matching one different than this.
