I used to see similar shirts for sale in Japan Town in SF about 10 years ago.

This is something I have been ready for for a long time. In fact, I was born ready.

John Carpenter and Kurt Russell mention on the commentary (btw, if you haven't watched a commentary with the both of them you're really missing out!!! :lol) that they found the tank in a (I believe) thrift store and they replicated many copies for the movie.
Yes, wingkong is legit but they always seem to be out of stock of everything, and they're not exactly lightning fast shippers.
