Elvis Presley’s Personalized Bedazzled Jockstrap Up for Sale
A sparkly, rhinestone-covered jockstrap that belonged to Elvis Presley is now available at Paul Fraser Collectibles with an eye-popping £35,000 price tag, which is just over $42,700 USD.
The unique piece was previously housed in the original Elvis Presley Museum in Memphis.
Carefully mounted and preserved, this jockstrap was gifted to the King by a devoted fan. The item remained in the collection of Jimmy Velvet, one of Elvis’s closest friends, who displayed it proudly in his museum.
Paul Fraser Collectibles offers more than just fancy underwear. They’re selling pieces of the King’s hair snipped during his 1958 military haircut for £150,000, or just over $183,200 USD. Meanwhile, a single framed strand of Presley’s hair from the infamous military haircut goes for £399, which is equal to $487.30 USD.
Elvis Presley memorabilia remains in demand in the decades since his death in 1977. BBC News reports that in December 2024, a 99-lot auction of Elvis memorabilia sold for over £14,000, which is just over $17,000 USD. Among the items sold at that auction were a sterling silver ring, a white jumpsuit, and partially smoked cigar.
Of course, the greatest collection of Elvis memorabilia can be found at Graceland in Memphis, which still remains a major tourist attraction. According to Graceland’s website, over 600,000 visitors tour the iconic home every year.
