To no surprise but a rather great treat nonetheless for the die-hard Jackson 5 fans, the remaining members of the legendary R&B/Pop group have jump started a collection of t-shirts and leather jackets called J5. Shops like Kitson, Urban Outfitters, and online sites like RevolveClothing.com and 80spurple.com will start selling the pieces as early as February of next year. Reports WWD.
" The collection, which is officially licensed through the Jackson estate, will feature 24 concert-style tees and tanks with iconic imagery of the Jackson 5 from the ’60s through the ’80s.
More notably for fans of the King of Pop, and though it has less to do with the Jackson 5, the collection will include exact replicas of the “Thriller” and “Beat It” leather jackets. A press release for the line boasts that the jackets are “produced, down to the detail, in the design of the original jackets.” Rafi Weisman, the original designer of the jackets, was even consulted to create the replicas for the line. The “Thriller” jacket comes in soft red leather with black detailing and and “V” design on the back and the “Beat It” jacket comes in red or white leather with chainmail detailing and diagonal zipper designs. The catch? While the tees will run from between $45-$55, the jackets will cost around $900."
