After five long years of careful manicuring, your hair is finally, perfectly coifed -- just like Resident Evil 4's Leon S. Kennedy. You've got that devil-may-care attitude down, ammo clips holstered around each thigh, and you're all about saving the president's daughter. The only thing left? Fingerless gloves. Oh, and also Leon's not-so-cheap, replica bomber jacket, now available to pre-order directly from Capcom's Japan-only online store -- though you'll have to go through a proxy service if you live outside Japan. (Game Swag has listed some of them.)
The e-Capcom store has dated the first shipments of the jacket for "early January," so you may want to start saving up the ¥26,040 (about $315, plus the proxy fee), um, like, probably a few months ago. Or maybe just scour your neighborhood for treasure chests? That's what Leon would do.

Sheeesh you'd be better off getting a jacket made that looks like it for cheaper.

This would make an awesome winter coat, and being tied to a gaming fav of mine makes it even better.

I'll wear it and lose it halfway just like in the game when I met Luis.

I think more people would be interested in the merchant's trench coat.
Just sayin.

Tycho of PA's post about the super expensive Locust head comes to mind. "A generalized Gears lust made me follow a link to the Triforce Locust Head Bust Thing, which might as well [cost] infinity dollars."
After a certain price point, I just cannot follow where my nerd boner tries to lead.

Looks far too feminine... is there a mans option?

@Mazrael
I think it's mainly because of the guy's pose, if he wasn't posed in that way, it wouldn't look so feminine.
