The funny thing about the coat you mention with your pic is that it's just a standard pea-coat, though perhaps these may have been modified slightly to allow for the weaponry. Pea-coats are very common in certain places, and no one would really think of it being 'from a movie or videogame'.

I've taken my jacket out two nights now, and it's very much now 'normal' to me in terms of wearing it in public. This is the usual case with fashion...the more you wear it, the more it simply becomes normal. Of course, I realize the danger of this adaptation, but it holds true even for something as outside of my normal aesthetic as this coat.

You may not believe it, or you may think I'm trolling here, but in all seriousness, if you dress appropriately with this jacket, then it no longer seems 'extravagant' enough to warrant comment or scorn from even the most hardline people. From the rear, it's a normal grey leather jacket with detailing under the hood...and from the front the red is so muted and dark as to be a gentle change from the norm. It's really far less strange in real life than people here seem to predict. But that's THIS jacket in particular. I can't say the same for shitty companies that do a cosplay version of this, with bright colours, fake leather, shit fits, and so forth....

I'll post a few examples different to mine, and you'll see what I mean about fit and finish. I don't know who makes these jackets, but they're all awful for one reason or another...
