The iconic & historic Jailhouse Rock suit for only 32 G's? Years ago it would have fetched close to a 100 grand. But 22,000 for an ugly 70's suit that has no history attached to it is ridiculous. Where were the priorities in this auction?

The Jailhouse Rock dance scene is very famous and exciting but these remain jeans and not exciting clothing. I would suspect that from the 50's his gold suit would be worth lots of money and the Teddy Bear suite from the movie Loving You. Those are really outstanding outfits from the 50's instead of jeans like the outfits used for Jailhouse Rock or Got a Lot of Living To Do.
