Trigun, Defender of Desert Planet, Takes Metro To Work?

Source: AppleGeeks

Ananth, one of the creators of one of the best webcomics, period, AppleGeeks, found THIS on the Hot Topic website, listed as a Jacket.

Now, I love Trigun, and it enjoyed a lengthy and successful run on Adult Swim, but the listing makes no mention of the series, or that its more of a costume item, so does Hot Topic know what they're selling? Will I find this in a Hot Topic store? And exactly what quality is it in, since the only other coat like this I've seen is $250+?

The coat is made by RedBalls, who apparently make coats with rock band fashion in mind. Their page for the coat is located HERE. They do sell it as the "Vash The Stampede Coat", but that's the only Trigun mention I see there. They mention they started out making apparel for touring London rock bands, before relocating to Hollywood and going public, so maybe they're trying to bill this as Rocker fashion? Would love to see somebody hit the stage in that sucker.

So if you see anybody on your subway or bus wearing this coat, please get a picture and send it to me at JCBaggee@gmail.com, I'd love to see that and might could be bribed to post it on the site. Just remember, I like money. And Snickers.
