> Gram Parsons, a longtime client of Nudie’s Rodeo Tailors and Manuel Couture, poses in his iconic marijuana-encrusted Nudie Suit.

Parsons was once in a band called the Flying Burrito Brothers, and each member had their own Nudie suit. Rolling Stone ran a story not too long ago about one of them that had been lost [0]. Though it is somewhat odd to imagine the short number of years Parsons might have been a client given he died at 26.
