Nudie Suit is a brand name of rhinestone- and spangle-decorated cowboy attire worn by many popular country music artists from the 1940s until Nudie Cohn's death in 1984.

Perhaps his most famous work was Elvis Presley's gold lamé suit, later replicated for folk iconoclast Phil Ochs in his "Elvis-is-our Che" period. He also produced suits for Porter Wagoner, Gram Parsons, The Collins Kids, Merle Haggard, Michael Nesmith and countless others.
