Its an electrified taser armor suit for personal self defense. Baddy grabs you, you hit the button and turn into Pikachu. And its stylish, too.

Currently avgailable only in hot-chick sizes, however. Though I'm sure that'll change in time.

I'm a little concerned as to what might happen if you touched the jacket yourself.

Also, I bet it would interfere with your iPod.

Ah, I see, you arm it and you have unfolding sleeves...

Cool, gratuitous use for queue skipping comes to mind.

Sweet! Stylish anti-frottage gear! Could've done with one of those on the Tube.

This has got to be the coolest part:

To warn off any potential unauthorized contact the No-Contact Jacket produces
visible and audible electric arcs between two seams on the wearer's upper right
shoulder. This visual indicator provides warning to any possible assailant to keep
away. The visual arcing indicator is functionally important since the rest of the
electric current is invisible under the surface of the jacket.
