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

If that's the look of the HN demographic, I'm even more out of touch than I thought I was.

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]

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.
