No, you're right, that's a completely new suit not documented (photographically) before the guy published the shot. If I'm not too mistaken it was kind of similar to the "knot suit" although it didn't have anywhere near as much 'fringes'. I believe this suit had small stars made of golden studs and each star had a small fringe in the middle of it... and even the belt had a matching design.
I also seem to recall the date for the shot being narrowed to August 1971 although not 100% sure about that.
Thanks Jouni. There are alot of new things for a man who has been more or less out of the Elvis world for some years now.
He says he has more of Elvis in that suit, so let's hope he want's to sell or exhibit them some day. But he seems to have been around alot, and probably have dozen of photos of legendary singers (Among them Jim Morrison) and celebs. So we have to wait and hope.

Great pic and very nice article !
Elvis didn't do 'An American Trilogy' in '71 though !
Yes, he must be mixing up some songs here.
