It drives me nuts that nobody acknowledges that James Sunderland’s jacket is a specific military jacket– the M-65 field jacket– and not the now-standard horror protagonist “LL. Bean” jacket. (like Ethan Winters wears)

it is important because it is a specific reference to the film Jacob’s ladder, where the character is a Vietnam veteran.

There are so many more references to Jacob’s Ladder throughout the entire Silent Hill series, the creators really love that movie. I think Masahiro Ito just recently mentioned it even
