Jem "roadie" jacket: green lamé, metal snap closure.  See the awesome Jem logo on the back!
  • It's referred to simply as a "roadie" jacket on the 1987 Canadian card.

pink slacks: crisp fluorescent pink cotton, like the Friend or Stranger pantsuit.  Velcro closure in the front.
  • I have noticed this material is not colourfast, so unless you can help it or really know what you are doing, avoid putting these pants in water!

sneakers: lime green Rio sneakers. Circle tread on soles, very rubbery and thinner than shoes from the Rio dolls.
  • These are the only green Rio shoes.

Other images of On The Road With Jem (generally unproduced/prototypes/promotional figures) Differences from produced fashion (if any)
The following sources all use the same photograph (photo)
  • 1987 US Hasbro Toy Fair catalogue
  • 2nd year catalogue poster
  • 1987 Rio Fashion card photograph

-looks very much like the produced outfit, the shoes look a bit too yellow though.
The photo used in the 1986 Hasbro Toy Fair Catalogue and various other sources-has white sneakers.
Illustrations: Hasbro Box art (shown left) -shows an orange shirt which was not included in the produced fashion.
I don't think it appeared on the cartoon.
