A green trucker jacket similar to that of alleged UnitedHealthcare CEO killer Luigi Mangione has reportedly surged in sales as the internet frenzy over his looks continues.
According to Complex, the sherpa-lined, hooded jacket from Levi’s, which rings in at $225, is flying off the shelves after a Reddit user speculated it was the same coat worn by the accused killer.
CCTV footage from the day of CEO Brian Thompson’s murder in Midtown shows the shooter wearing a green, hooded jacket not unlike the viral Levi’s coat.
More than 700 of the “Sherpa Lined Two Pocket Hooded Trucker Jacket” were bought in 48 hours, according to the item popularity tool on the Macy’s website.
On Tuesday, the garment was listed as “unavailable,” per GQ, although it was available again Wednesday morning for $80.
At Kohl’s, the site says that Levi’s jacket is “going fast,” with more than 3,000 customers recently purchasing, and a similar style was available on Amazon for the same price as Macy’s.
Redditors were quick to add the piece — dubbed “killer fashion” by one commenter — to their carts, boasting that they had “just ordered it” despite naysayers noting that it wasn’t the exact jacket as the one worn by the alleged assassin.
“But hey – it’s close enough and could be a Halloween costume,” one user quipped.
The Post has contacted Levi’s for comment.
The obsession with the killer online inspired a lookalike contest in Washington Square Park — where eight assassin doppelgängers donned hooded jackets and face masks — and CCTV footage of the unmasked suspect drew comparisons to actors Jake Gyllenhaal and Timothée Chalamet.
Mugs, hats, T-shirts and other merchandise also popped up on e-commerce sites including Etsy and Amazon in support of Mangione, although the items have since been removed.
Mangione was apprehended by law enforcement and charged with murder after being spotted at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on Monday, where he was found with a fake ID, ghost gun and a manifesto.
