If all those Deadheads get bored with tie-dyed T-shirts and blue jeans, they can slip into something a little more colorful: silk shirts from the collection of Jerry Garcia.

The Grateful Dead guitarist-artist-couturier has introduced "J. Garcia" silk print shirts, inspired by his brightly colored paintings. The 51-year-old musician introduced a line of silk ties four years ago.The men's collection features eight designs of short-sleeved, sandwashed silk twill shirts for about $45 each. The women's shirts are made of washable silk.
