Elvis Presley: Elvis Presley's Personally Worn Mint Green Pyjamas from Baptist Hospital April 1977 less than five months before his death. Chris Davidson the owner of the ELVIS-A-RAMA MUSEUM before he sold to Graceland states in the COA:
This fabulous pair of large Lord Shannon mint-green pyjamas were worn by Elvis while staying at Baptist Memorial Hospital in early April, 1977. After spending a week in the hospital, Elvis spent several days at Graceland trying to recover from exhaustion. These pyjamas were left at Vernon Presley's home, adjacent to Graceland on Dolan Street, after a visit from Elvis. He would often walk across the rear of the property and visit with his father and fiance, Sandy Miller, to reminisce. This pair of pyjamas were obtained from the Burnettes who purchased Vernon's home after Elvis's death.
These pyjamas were on display at the world famous ELVIS-A-RAMA MUSEUM for many years and appeared on national television in 2003.
The ELVIS-A-RAMA MUSEUM has been bought by Graceland and retired, the owner of the Elvis-A-Rama Museum had the pyjamas framed in Las Vegas. During the early 1960s Vernon Presley purchased a home 1266 Dolan Dr, which is adjacent to Graceland along the southeastern wall. Elvis had a gate installed so that he could walk from his backyard directly into his father's house. After Elvis' divorce in 1973, Elvis spent more time over there to occasionally escape Graceland and its inhabitants. Elvis would sometimes stay over late into the night talking with his father about the old days, his philosophies about life and his family.
After Elvis' death, Vernon moved into Graceland and sold the Dolan home and all its contents to Holbart and Bonnie Burnette who owned the Hickory Log Restaurant across the street from Graceland. The Burnette's delivered food up to the house for the Memphis Mafia and on occasion Elvis or Vernon.
Chris Davidson who owned the ELVIS-A-RAMA MUSEUM purchased many items from Holbart and Bonnie Burnette, items that were originally owned by Elvis. These pyjamas were one of the items.
