Elvis' Military Uniform Up for Sale
HOLLYWOOD - It ain't his blue suede shoes, but it's just as valuable.
Elvis Presley's U.S. Army uniform goes on the auction block today, and experts say that the stained garment could fetch as much as $36,000, Reuters reports.
The uniform, stained with paint after the King leaned against a freshly painted window, was issued to Presley before he headed for his station in Germany.
Presley was issued a new jacket after staining the first one, but a member of the painting crew kept the original as a souvenir. It's now owned by Elvis fan Johnny Earle.
