How about wearing the Presley Tartan as well:

A new tartan, Presley of Lonmay, has been designed to honour Elvis's connection with Scotland, discovered in 2004.
The King of Rock 'n' Roll's distant roots were traced back to the village of Lonmay in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Allan Morrison, the author who traced Elvis's ancestors back almost 300 years to the Parish of Lonmay for his book, The Presley Prophesy, discovered that Andrew Presley married elspeth Leg at Lonmay on 27 August 1713, their son, Andrew, having arrived in North Carolina in 1745.
The pure wool kilt, in shades of blue, grey, green and yellow, comes complete with gold accessories, including a sporran engraved with thistles and a bald eagle to highlight the Scottish/American link. Launched by an Elvis lookalike, the tartan is also to be used in the refurbishment of Lonmay's only hotel, the Ban-car.
Designer Mike King, Elvis fan and director of Philip King, the Aberdeen-based menswear and tartan hire company, hopes the tartan will win favour throughout the world.
