Michael Jackson's image is an iconic one, and if there's one thing we know it's that his family loves cashing in on it. So a week after Michael's televised funeral in July 2009, his brothers Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon, and Randy Jackson, along with the estate of the late Michael Jackson, starting working on a clothing line. The J5 Collection is set to launch in stores like Kitson and Urban Outfitters and websites like online at RevolveClothing.com and 80spurple.com by February.



For those who aren't into red, a white version of the jackets will also be produced.

The J5 Collection consists of 24 Jackson 5 concert-style tees, which will run between $45-$55, and exact replicas of the "Thriller" and "Beat It" leather jackets for around $900.
Designer Rafi Weisman, who made MJ's original jackets, was consulted to create the replicas. While admittedly, there is a part of us that always wanted to own those leather jackets, we feel the price tag is too steep to make it a reality.

The new clothing line isn't the only way to get your hands on a piece of Michael Jackson's legacy these days. His brothers are also working on a new video game based on MJ's dance moves, a new album, and a reunion tour which they claim will serve as a tribute to Michael. It really brings new meaning to "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough." [WWD]
