Wow, what a story. Like so many...I love the aesthetic of the Nudie Suit. I really liked some of the Burrito Brothers' versions!

A musician friend of mine has a vintage one. Lucky, regular-sized, jerk.

Fascinating, more-so that there was a second immigrant Jewish Rhinestone Cowboy costumer who worked around the same time as Nudie.

"Nudie suits" are not to be confused with "nude suits."
