Halloween costume help

So, meet this guy, Travis Touchdown. I'm sure you've seen him before.
Having been unable to get my other costume ready in order, I'm going an easier route.
The problem I'm running into is the red jacket. Everything else, all the accessories, I'm fine with. Have them or can get them in an hour. I've been looking around for a good red jacket with the ridiculous popped collar, but can't seem to find one. Out of desperation, I got a red-ish collared shirt, but it's not the same.
Anyone know where I might be able to get something like this? Been checking out used clothing stores, and some bigger chains, but no dice. Or is there some kind of workaround I might be able to do? Don't want to go without it, as it ties the whole costume together.

Maybe get a denim jacket from a thrift store, and dye it red?
I'm pretty amazed that you have access to a beam saber, and not a red jacket though.
The beam sabre is actually a quick construction from some metal supplies I have, plus a PVC pipe painted with fluorescent paint. If I had more time, I'd actually hook up something that would actually glow, but I can deal.
That black part obviously isn't in the original, but it looks like it might make a nice accent
