Where Can I get myself a Nudie Suit?

[mattyboy]

These things are great! I checked out this link :http://www.nudiesrodeotailor.com/ . It seems they stopped making them after Mr. Nudie died. Does anyone know of anyplace that makes something similar?

Manuel. Be prepared to spend 5k for a full suit.

Savin' my pennies...

WOW! I just checked manuels website. Those are real nice, but the wife may have issues with me spending 5 g's on a suit. Thanks for the info!

So who is taking up where he left off?

Manuel has been carrying the torch. He was Nudies apprentice, and has made some of the most famous suits that are out there. Elvis' jumpsuits etc. Manuel is the man.

You can get stuff OTR, or look around on eBay for other western wear, like Pagano, Scully etc.

Maybe shop some high end thrift stores, like in San Fransico or nashville. Some shops sell over the internet.

On a less serious note maybe you could buy a Bedazzler at Toy R Us, a glue gun and an off the rack suit. Just sayin'.

I saw a Manuel jacket in a store once. I couldn't even afford the smell.
Hey ! They have a sales section on the website !

I was actually born in one. I bathe in it too

Heck, people spend more then that for their guitars. If you want the image 5K is a bargin!

BTW I saw the Grateful Dead once where they all wore Nudie Suits (except Phil Lesh). I think that was the only time they wore them. It may have been the same night the Rowen Brothers opened and they had coats with little flashing lights all over them. The deadheads couldn't handle it at all. It was "too Las Vegas" or something. I think that mistake cost them a career.

actually i have seen them from time to time on eBay at very reasonable prices.

sadly, not once in my size.

Aw man.... I'd kill for a nudie suit. Over the top, and out of control. I've had to settle for a closet full of Panhandle Slim shirts instead.

I remember Marty Stuart telling a story about the first time he went to Nudies to get a suit and didn't have near the fee. Manuel took him aside and hooked him up with a nice fitted shirt, gratis, and told him to come and see him in a few years. (paraphrasing of course but once he made some money, Marty returned and became a loyal customer.

This Australian guy's gonna tell you to check Sheplers...

Not actual Nudie suits, but worth a look. Nice shirts, too.

Wilco did Nudie Suits a few years ago. I think Tweedy even wore one for SNL. It is a bold statement!!!
