John Lennon's style influence has continued to make waves in the decades following his death, but until now the singer hasn't been canonized with his very own clothing line. Rock and Roll Religion, owner of the clothing label English Laundry, is launching a brand new line of men's wear embellished with "the artwork and imagery of John Lennon," says WWD. Styles include "woven shirts, knits, T-shirts, blazers, jackets and neckwear" (which are all priced at under $130). Odes to the music icon are seen in everything from the designs themselves (a pair of Chelsea boots are fashioned after the same style Lennon always wore) to the tags to which they're attached. And, good news for feverish fans: Yoko Ono approves. The line was designed under the supervision of Ono.

The line is cheekily titled This Is Not A Polo Shirt; and, while the moniker might be a bit of a stretch, there is some truth to it. Styles like the striped polo shirts incorporate a unique manufacturing approach. "This fabric is so cool because we made it with A-Girls in Wakayama, Japan on a special machine that allows the operator to alter the stripe pattern by hand during the knitting process to achieve the weird, wavy stripe," says Band of Outsiders' site. At $175 a pop, this by no means your average polo shirt.
