Like most things Beatles, their 1969 rooftop concert in central London was iconic, and so were their outfits that day.

George Harrison’s look is best remembered for his shaggy fur coat, bright green pants, and of course his Rosewood Tele.

Wally not only shares a name with his namesake, but has the same birthday and Marlon Brando’s biker look from “The Wild One”. To complete the look, get Wally stitched in cursive on the chest of the leather jacket, or apply puffy white fabric paint as a shortcut.
