Hello everybody! There's an authentic John Belushi/Jake Blues two piece suit up on the internet right now. Thought some members here would want to take a look. Here's a link to it:

Hit me up if you'd like any more information about it!

Welcome to the site!
I remember last time this item was for sale in an auction (I think it's the same suit), they also had a Dan Aykroyd Ghostbusters suit for sale if I remember right.
Something like this, regardless of the price, belongs on display for everyone to appreciate and enjoy. I hope whoever is able to buy it will share it with the world. Maybe a Planet Hollywood or Hard Rock Cafe if we're lucky

Hi Chris. Thanks for the warm welcome! It would be great to see the suit re-united with the hat, shoes, and glasses too!

Maybe it's one of the dance-suits with the arms upwards like they probably used in the Soul-Food Cafe Dance scene or in "Ray's".... ".....aaaaaaAAAAAAHHHHHHH TWIST IT!!! Shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, Baby!!!"



Cool stuff, wish I had the BUCK!

It looks like the suit is now in Memphis...

...hat and glasses too

[Cropper Classic]

That's cool

[Harper-Chris]

I don´t know if it is in the Hard Rock Cafe, Planet Hollywood or at BB Kings Bar...

[ChAnOoD_bLuEs]

I know that at least one John Belushi "Jake" suit is in a Hard Rock Cafe, I´ve seen a catalog of items in the Hard Rock Cafe of Barcelona (Spain) and they have a page about Jake´s suit and some info about the Blues Bros.

Is it the Hard Rock Cafe in Memphis??
I find out, that there is no Planet Hollywood in Memphis...

[Harper-Chris]

Hi ChAnOoD_bLuEs, can you please scan the side of this catalog and post it here??

[ChAnOoD_bLuEs]

I don´t have that catalog, they put it in the entrance room... I almost take a pic, but I was with a lot of people around, so I couldn´t.

It was a catalog with all the stuff they have: guitars signed by Clapton, Les Pau... , vinyls, Jake´s suit...

Just something i think must be said... i'm always wary when i see these ads or auctions for items "as used in the show / film" because often the items are just sold as regular items, but adding an mpressive statement or claim to bump the price up.

I could put one of my old black suits on ebay & claim "genuine Blues Brothers suit - as used in the film" - technically it's not a lie (it's a black suit of the same style to one used in the film.. OK it's not one of the suits), but you just know the saps will think it probably once belonged to Jake or Elwood & some sucker will buy it.

I'd sooner see some proof with the item, such as a certificate to prove the fact or some hard evidence such as a reciept or invoice from Universal studio's or an inventory label inside that reads "J. Belushi costume prop" included with the sale.

Over here in the UK we have a very popular BBC TV programme called "Only fools & horses" (you probably get it shown in the US & Australia as well) one of the main features of the show is they use a 3 wheeled van painted yellow, made by a company called "Reliant" yet you often see numerous ebay auctions for yellow 3 wheeled vans with claims "as used in the show" & even some bars have replica vans displayed on the roof & claim "our van was one used in the show" yet the van they are selling or have on the roof of their pub is a tottally different model to the one actually used.

The original van is a Reliant Regal supervan 3, the fakes are often Reliant Robins or Rialto models, which are Reliant models which came along 10-20 years later.

e.g. the genuine article..


one of the many fakes - often sold on auctions etc as "genuine" (just shown as an example - not for sale)

[Petesilverfox]

Spot on Wolfie.
You got me thinking......
A Reliant Robin Bluesmobile!!!!!

[Robster]

That'd be different, a reliant Robin Bluesmobile. Very interesting...

[Petesilverfox]

Rob,

Wouldn't that be totally novel & different?

Certainly pull a lot of attention for not a lot of dosh!

[mad-wolfie]

I used to own a blue Reliant Regal if that would qualify :D

Well it just might, however...
A Reliant Robin in black & white livery with rollers on the top would stop traffic from here to Chicago!

It certainly would, even more so if it had a speaker on top lol or rollers.
