Weiland has partnered with Christopher Wicks, designer and owner of Rock & Roll Religion, for a line of contemporary men's clothing that will be known as Weiland for English Laundry.

Wicks designs and owns other music-related clothing lines such as Fender: The Clothing Collection and the Jimi Hendrix Experience.

"From early on, I was inspired by rock icons like David Bowie and Keith Richards, who helped in molding my personal sense of style," Weiland said.

The collection will consist of vests, T-shirts, pants, hats, ties and scarves based on vintage fabrics from the late '60s and '70s and will retail for $40 to $120. The line will be unveiled at Magic Las Vegas on February 17.
