OT: Need to rent a Nudie Suit

[joosttx]

Looking to rent a Nudie suit or a high quality replica... really I’m looking to rent a replica. Can someone point me in the right direction.

You gotta learn some country/rock history my man!

I’ve heard of people finding knockoffs at thrift stores in the mission but that’s an admirable quest. I’ll ask some prop stylist friends if they know a source

no dice. at 4k+ for a suit they all said no one rents those out anymore cuz of the collectibility

[Llewellyn]

Well there you go. I had never heard of a Nudie Suit until this thread. I've just spent a rather interesting couple of minutes on Wikipedia :banana: :banana:

Appreciate you checking.

[jtakeda]

Mostly Gram Parsons.

Buck Owens, hank Williams, Dolly Parton, lee hazlewood.

Gram parsons was more of a “musicians musician” and not incredibly popular in the mainstream.

Keith Richards wore them too.

Didn’t know that.

Tbh I’ve been looking for a Nudie suit for about 15 years. I’ll thrift one some day. Thrifting hasn’t let me down yet

I think Keith got into them when hanging out with Gram. I have a high school buddy who has several. One belonging to Buck Owens. He is bigger than me.

[roguedog]

Wow. Wasn't quite sure what I'd get when I googled that... Didn't know they were called that. Also in your pic.. wasn't quite sure which one of the gents you were referencing, given the name "Nudie."

Many thousand roads
I walked down , down, down
And they all led me right back home you you
In a Nudie Suit...

If you track one down, photos are obligatory!

I'm old, and I didn't know, either.

This was the first thing that came to mind, actually.

Run a Google search for... Hollywood Prop and Costume Shops. If it's to be had these are the places that you will find it. Used one back in the 80's for a large scale Fourth of July military/city celebration. Couldn't have been easier with the rental process.

[Vientomas]

Never heard of Senor Nudie. Thanks for the learnin'. I can go back to bed now. :)
