Luxury menswear brand Jackman Original Las Vegas (Jackman’s or Jackman of Las Vegas, A. Jackman of Las Vegas) ended in 1980s. Now this brand can be found at auctions where Elvis Presley items are sold or at VTG sellers.
There was little information about this luxury menswear brand from the Internet. There is a mention that this is an Italian brand and clothes were produced in the USA in the 1950-1980s. This Luxury brand is also associated with the fashion designer named Gino from 1960s. Maybe it’s about Gino Paoli? In Las Vegas Elvis Presley could visit Joseph Magnin & Jackman’s store at Las Vegas Strip c. 1970. This store was opened in 1957 and was closed and demolished in the mid 1980s.
It is known that Elvis Presley had an extensive wardrobe. But the clothes were not sewn only to order, but simply bought in stores. Many of Elvis Presley’s recognizable and casual wear come from Jackman of Las Vegas. These are jackets, trousers, shirts, coats of the second half of the 60-70s. And this clothes brand is not described in connection with the Elvis style and fashion.
So, Elvis Presley style from luxury menswear brand Jackman Original Las Vegas. Jackman shirts and pants made of polyester. Coats and jackets are made of leather, sometimes trimmed with fur or vice versa, a fur coat trimmed with leather. Shirts with bright ornamentation, trousers are bright but monochromatic. A fur faux coat was very suitable for him. Try to wear a fur faux coat like Elvis!
