Beatles 09




As you walk into the entrance hall, this is what you see. These grey suits that you see them wearing in the next picture.

The plaque reads:

Arguably the most famous piece in the Hard Rock Cafe Dallas collection is John Lennon's custom suit. The suit was created circa 1963-64 by D.A. Millings and Son who made most of the Beatles' early stylings. This early Beatles trademark is comprised of a gray collarless raw silk jacket with velvet piping and a pair of worsted wool beltless trousers. The pants are deliberately turned up to reveal the tag stating the pants were John's. This was written less for authenticity and more for the fact that the Fab Four wore the exact same outfits and thus a pair of pants designed for John could have easily been accidentally slipped to Ringo.
