The coat has an eight-button, double-breasted front closure, a large collar, an affixed belt with two buttons in the back, a button at each cuff, lined side pockets and interior black lining, it truly epitomises the glamour of 1970's Vegas. The coat has an orange collar tag reading "A. Jackman Original Las Vegas" that is affixed to a white leather collar flap and a small interior side tag which reads "Lot 66 Size 46." A Graceland Authenticated Letter of Authenticity states that the coat was given by Elvis to his friend Aurelia Dupont Yarbrough and that this 'White Leather Jacket' was in fact, designed for Elvis Presley in Las Vegas, by A. Jackman. It was given to me by Elvis in 1976, at Graceland. I wore it briefly. The sleeves were altered (not cut) to fit me, but I never actually wore it. The material remains intact. It has been in my possession since said time, it is easy to envision Elvis looking mighty cool and strutting his stuff in this sleek and stylish white leather coat". Accompanied by the aforementioned letter of authenticity from Graceland Authenticated, together with signed letter from the recipient of the gift of the coat from Elvis Presley, Aurelia Yarbrough, a truly iconic piece of history.
