Resident Evil Requiem has arrived in grand fashion, becoming the fastest-selling game in the series by moving more than 5 million copies in five days. And the star of the show is returning hero Leon S. Kennedy, now a greying hottie that the entire internet seems to be thirsting over. But Leon’s appeal goes further than just his smoldering gaze, bulging biceps, and timely one-liners — the man has impeccable taste in jackets, and enterprising online retailers have taken note. There are tons of replica Leon Kennedy jackets out there, in a wide range of price points, ranging from just shy of $40 to nearly two grand.
You’ll find more of Leon’s Resident Evil 4 looks, since that game’s been out so much longer. But we’re already starting to see a couple riffs on his black leather peacoat with fur trim from Requiem. Whether you’re looking for a low-cost cosplay option, or a durable and luxurious leather jacket to wear for years to come, we’ve got you covered.

A Wallet-Friendly Brown Bomber
AOWOFS Men’s Faux Leather Jacket Brown Motorcycle Bomber
For those of us with champagne taste on a beer budget, this faux-leather dupe from Amazon is a decent approximation of Leon’s iconic leather bomber from Resident Evil 4, and it’s under $40 on Amazon. Customer feedback is solid, with an average rating of 4.2 out of 5 stars with more than 1,100 reviews. Buyers say this one runs small, so choose your size accordingly. It’s also not available with Prime shipping, so expect to wait a week or two to get your hands on it. One reviewer noted the jacket “doesn’t cause itching,” so I guess that’s a plus?
