Item Description
Circa late 1950s rhinestone outfit with elaborate/colorful embroidery on both coat and pants. Both have "Nudie's Rodeo Tailor/Hollywood California" labels sewn into them. These labels are the style with the "Nudie" girl wearing a vest. It was at Dale's request that the previously used bare-breasted "Nudie's" label not be used in any of Roy's clothes. She did not want Roy wearing any clothes with pictures of nude ladies on the inside. This well-tailored/high quality jacket (size 38-40) has brightly colored embroidery of red, green, gold and purple on front/back/sleeves all surrounded by many glittery rhinestones. The jacket has buttons on the cuffs and front. Fully lined. The blue pants (approximately 32-34" waist by 32" inseam) continue with matching embroidery/rhinestones down the front. Bright red piping accents the pockets/belt loops. Each belt loop is highlighted with a circle of rhinestones. Elastic stirrups are attached at the cuffs. Coat and pants remain bright and clean. Exc. The consignor obtained this outfit from the estate of Michael Bright, who was a personal friend of Roy Rogers and Dale Evans. This outfit was given to him as a gift by Roy and Dale. In a July, 2010 sale at Christie's of the Roy Rogers Museum similar "Nudie" outfits sold in the $5-10K range. A great opportunity to obtain this well-made, unique outfit that was actually owned and worn by the "King of Cowboys". Comes with Hake's COA.
