The jockstrap was custom-made by an Elvis fan and was worn by the King right up until he died in 1977.
Celebrity memorabilia experts Paul Fraser Collectables are selling the jockstrap as part of the Elvis Presley Museum collection.

I haven't worn a jockstrap since 7th grade gym class. I can't imagine a grown man wearing one.
I used to wear one for sword fighting. Nothing makes you glad your wearing one likevtaking an awl pike to the cup hard enough to bruise and crack the plastic cup.

Stepped into a rising J shot with a glaive. Cracked my cup and pushed it over the bald-headed twins and then snapped shut.
DeletePain from the bashing, pain from the snapping. Just pain. And people ask you, while you have no air because pain, what's wrong?
Took it to WalMart and got a refund.
Next cup I added a sole-leather outer panel and a piece of blue closed-cell foam (which looks surprisingly like those foam sleeping mats.) Saved me many a blue-ball experience having that extra armor and padding.
I wore one during high school sports and I played semi pro football for a year, and wore one then. But now, no. I don't find to many people interested in what I am carrying in my pants. And I won't be playing any sports anymore, since I turn 60 a month from today. Sure am surprised I made it this long.
