Here's how you too can own Leon Kennedy's Resident Evil 4 Remake bomber jacket

As you may well expect, horror fans have been pouring over the recent Resident Evil 4 Remake teaser, dissecting every frame to see what's new, what's improved, and what we can expect when the action game hits next-gen consoles and PC next year.

But as well as giving us an in-depth peek at the zombie-slaying action, the reveal teaser also included a curious disclaimer right at the end that stated that "Leon's brown sheepskin leather bomber jacket appears with permission from Schott NYC".

Curious, eh? As spotted by our friends over at PC Gamer (opens in new tab), it turns out that that is indeed true; Leon's jacket is not only available to buy now, but the in-game version appears to be a stitch-perfect replica of its real-life inspiration. 

While the Schott NYC store (sadly) makes no reference to the upcoming action shooter or Leon's iconic outerwear, the "classic B-3 sheepskin leather bomber jacket (opens in new tab)" looks similar to Leon's down to the smallest detail, complete with its distinctive cuffs and the big cross on the back panel.

It may not be the cheapest way to cosplay your favorite intrepid police officer, though; depending upon the size, Leon's jacket will set you back anywhere between $1500 and $1800. 

A Resident Evil 4 remake has long been rumored, but it was finally officially announced at yesterday's Sony State of Play event, where it was also confirmed that the survival horror will launch on March 24, 2023 (opens in new tab). 

A recent report suggests that some of the new material might draw from ideas that were cut from the original game (opens in new tab) but original director Shinji Mikami seems to be okay
