ABBA's limited-edition replica Aussie Qantas Tour jackets

Global pop group and Eurovision 1974 winners, ABBA, have released limited-edition replica Aussie Qantas Tour jackets as part of their online Tours Collection.

The jackets have been recreated to match the ones worn by the band when they embarked on their national tour of Australia in 1977. 

Upon arrival the Australian airline, Qantas, presented the members and crew with the customised tour jackets. 

An original jacket is on display in the ABBA Museum in Stockholm, Sweden. 

The replica is made of white cotton twill and incorporates all the original logos and an ABBA Crew patch on the back, sleeve and breast.

If you were after one of these jackets it will set you back at approximately under $400AUD, and that's without shipping costs.

A donation of 10 SEK (approx. $1.50AUD) per jacket will go to the UN Refugee Agency, UNHCR.

The 1977 tour of Australia, called ABBA: Live In Australia - 1977, was a huge significance for ABBA as it was their first international concert tour. 

The tour became infamous in Australia as the concert film, ABBA: The Movie, was filmed during the performances in Australia. 

ABBA performed in 11 shows across the country visiting Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth.
