    Kings among men




    Let me know who is king of the bungalow with a bold ensemble that roars with confidence. These men never have to take out the trash....

    I take it they were trying to convince men they could look like Elvis wearing this?

      Wow... if this is from 1972 or 1973 (like I think it is), just think about INFLATION. Based on my memory of how much kid things (comic books, candy bars, toys) cost at the time and my Dad's new car that cost $3,500, I believe that things cost 6x to 7x what they did back then. So, imagine paying about $400 for a polyester suit in today's money!

      Another indication how things have changed... I think that men's average waist sizes have changed over the past 40 years. These days, a 33" or 34" waist is not "large", it's downright slim!

        Me thinks that is not a roar coming from the lions but more of a laugh. Especially the lions who look to be finger pointing to the crotch area and laughing.

          CLEARLY these suits were designed so you could quickly lose the top, the wide-legged slacks allowing you to perform your most awesome ka-ra-TE!

                  I'd wear the black suit now, especially the pants. Not even kidding, lol.
