Want to look cool, authentic and rugged? Want to celebrate the work of a famous communist murderer? J.Crew has something for you: The [Beltstaff® Che Guevara](http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Browse/MensBrowse/Men_Feature_Assortment/NewArrivals/outerwear/PRDOVR~22979/22979.jsp) replica jacket for only $795. Credit cards only.

**Update:** It looks like J. Crew got some heat for the reference to Che Guevara, and renamed the jacket. However, my colleague Chris Moody found a screen shot of the page when it still mentioned the name of the bloody Latin American revolutionary.
