I believe Elvis wore the White Cossack suit along with the white macramé belt.

On the first show Elvis played el guitar on One Night, there are many known photos, just Google it.

February 27 1970 Friday 2:00 pm Houston, Texas Houston Astrodome 16708 White Choker Suit & Original Macrame belt
February 27 1970 Friday 7:45 pm Houston, Texas Houston Astrodome 36299 White Broquade Suit & Green Leaf Trim & Original Green Macrame belt
February 28 1970 Saturday 2:00 pm Houston, Texas Houston Astrodome 34443 Blue Broquade Suit & Original Macrame belt
February 28 1970 Saturday 7:45 pm Houston, Texas Houston Astrodome 43614 White Broquade Suit & Silver Trim & Original Macrame belt
March 1 1970 Sunday 2:00 pm Houston, Texas Houston Astrodome 40858 White Choker Suit & Original Macrame belt
March 1 1970 Sunday 7:00 pm Houston, Texas Houston Astrodome 35572 White Broquade Suit & Green Leaf Trim & Original Green Macrame belt

This is the correct list according to Maria Luisa Davies audio reels and 8 mm films that she recorded, she also said that Elvis walked on the ground during Love me tender on the LAST day two shows only (photos of this has been posted here before. I am 100% sure this is the correct list because of what Maria said on the reels and the 8mm films. Sadly not one book or concert list on the net has this correct.

I´m no jumpsuit expert, does this list here below match yours? :?. It´s taken from the great book Elvis On Tour 1970 Vol 1-Back On The Road released by Kieran Davis. Bye for now :smt006.

The correct date on all 4 images is 2-27-1970 OS. You don't need a book to confirm this. Elvis only played "One Night" on the electric at this performance.
