The official James Dean site has a jacket for sale for $77.95, which is very close except that it's cotton, rather than nylon, and looks a little baggier than the original:
There's a Dean jacket thread with some excellent research by a poster called smsstuart who seems to have joined the FL just to post on that thread. I found this scan of an advert for the Anti-Freeze jacket and posted it on that thread:
Comparisons with the Rebel stills on the JD site show it's the same jacket.
Now all someone has to do is find a warehouse full of deadstock red Anti-Freezes and they're laughing.
