Leon's jacket from Resident Evil 4 may be one of the best pieces of clothing in the series

right up there with Ada Wong's wildly impractical dress and… Wesker's shimmering check-patterned suit in Resident Evil 5?

he sheepskin-lined bomber jacket looks cosy, comfortable and stylish, maintaining flexibility

For the freshly announced Resident Evil 4 Remake, however, it looks like Leon's outerwear is getting an upgrade.

Some observant folks on Twitter spied in the smallprint at the end of the teaser trailer that Leon's jacket is in fact copyrighted, and "appears with permission from Schott NYC."

Going to the Schott NYC website, it didn't take long before I arrived at what looks an awful lot like Leon's fancy new jacket

the Classic B-3 Sheepskin Leather Bomber Jacket(opens in new tab). Unfortunately, the description makes references to WWII

and how it was worn by "non-aviators like Gen.
