If Google Images is any indication a "tactical hooded trench coat" seems like exactly the kind of thing you see the HN demographic wearing while walking to work on a rainy day. TBH I was expecting to see actual trench coats but they all seem like normal tight-ish fitting jackets in various grays, greens, browns and camo.

I can't find it anywhere anymore, even on their site. They must have realized they weren't reading the room well with the ad and modeling. But I did screenshot it previously: https://imgur.com/gallery/bxcK7zb https://imgur.com/gallery/bxcK7zb If that's the look of the HN demographic, I'm even more out of touch than I thought I was.

  Now that's much more like what I expected to see when you said "hooded tactical trench coat" I was seeing stuff like this which albeit somewhat tacky doesn't exactly scream IRA like that does. https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1nW0maN_rK1RkHFqDq6yJAFXaa/FreeArmy-Brand-Tactical-Trench-Coat-Men-Long-Jacket-Military-Camouflage-Hooded-Trench-3Color-Woven-Windbreaker-Man.jpg https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1nW0maN_rK1RkHFqDq6yJAFXaa/Fre... https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB19LG5p3MPMeJjy1Xdq6ysrXXaY/Tactical-Jacket-Men-Camouflage-US-Army-M65-Military-Uniform-Jacket-Camo-Hooded-Trench-Coat-long-Army.jpg https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB19LG5p3MPMeJjy1Xdq6ysrXXaY/Tac... https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/oqoAAOSwGj9dpoA7/s-l300.jpg https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/oqoAAOSwGj9dpoA7/s-l300.jpg https://image.dhgate.com/0x0s/f2-albu-g6-M01-FD-51-rBVaR1rw2S-AYaSPAAZfQCEFbUc773.jpg/m65-military-tactical-jacket-camouflage-jacket.jpg https://image.dhgate.com/0x0s/f2-albu-g6-M01-FD-51-rBVaR1rw2...

  That looks to be fan art from the video game/book Stalker/roadside picnic (specifically a bandit) used for advertising whatever you'd actually get in the mail. If you reverse image search it a couple different variations of the image will pop up, a lot of which are less than reputable looking stores.[2][3] [1]https://danielkquemist.artstation.com/projects/lVx8Ne?album_id=282375 https://danielkquemist.artstation.com/projects/lVx8Ne?album_...
