Rex's Nudie Suit


The one-of-a-kind Black Flash Suit was made exclusively for Rex Allen Sr. in approx 1962 by "Nudie's Rodeo Tailors" of North Hollywood, California. Rex Allen Sr. had a hit record "Son Don't Go Near The Indians" at that time. That is why there is an Indian on the back. He wore this exquisite stretch lamé fabric outfit on hundreds of shows through out the United States and Canada. Rex Allen Sr. called it stretch metal! All the work on the jacket is hand embroidery. It is a one of a kind. It recently sold for $29,500 USD.
