The Jonas Brothers franchise will soon include a full sportswear line for
tweens, hitting retailers such as Wal-Mart, Kmart, Sears and J.C. Penney in
time for back-to-school shopping, reports WWD.

The apparel
collection, called Jonas, will follow the launch of their Disney Channel TV show
JONAS, set to begin airing in May. Jane Buckingham, president of the
Intelligence Group, said:

'Jonas Brothers clothing line is a really
great idea. These days it's all about lifestyle and celebrity, girls especially
want to see the stars they love in all different aspects, and I certainly think
they will buy into a clothing line
from them.'

The clothing,
consisting of argyle sweaters woven tops, scarves and Polo shirts, is inspired
by the preppy attire featured on JONAS. Leggings, denim, pleaded skirts are also
included in the line, which will debut in stores by late summer. The clothing
will retail from $9.99 to $24.99.
