I too thought it would be about Spike Spiegel from Cowboy Bebop, not some modern queer vampire bullshit.

Why would I want to wear what a cartoon wears? Thats not even possible really, closest you'd get is just a general likeness in style.

velvet? looks rather lethery to me. in case it really is velvet, then it´s the only cool velvet jacket i´ve ever seen. even though that´s sort of an oxymoron.

No it doesn't. you've been fooled by the exposure of the photo. Blacker, it's a better approximation of the style.

I don't think so myself, I have to grab some screenshots so I can compare and contrast.

Still I like the one from wilsons better *shrug*

IIRC it was custom made for the show, and it cost $1000. Tust me, I once tried to find one like it, it was high impossible ... but then again I do live in Australia.

Yeah, so I'm thinking it's better to just go for a lookalike.

Also I could dye my hair peroxide blonde for total effect :D

Ebay has some interesting coats, found this biker/pilots coat from 1920/30 sometime, a little worn but kinda cool.

Hmm, german WW2 motorcycle leather coat, looks nice, hope it's not too "nazi", there seems to be some nazi marks on it, they could be removed though...
