The thing is, that freakin’ jacket. The Samurai jacket. It’s not just *a* jacket, it’s *THE* jacket. It’s iconic, it screams “rebel,” and let’s be honest, it looks damn cool. You can’t walk five feet in Night City without seeing someone trying to look like Johnny, and 99% of the time, it’s all about the jacket.
Now, I’ve been looking into this whole “replica” thing because, like, the game itself mentions it’s a replica. That’s kinda weird, right? Like, why *just* the jacket? The rest of his outfit is just… there. But the jacket? Nope, gotta be a knock-off. Makes you wonder what the *original* Samurai jacket looked like. Maybe it was even *more* badass? My brain hurts just thinkin’ ’bout it.
And the internet, man, it’s exploded with Johnny Silverhand jacket clones. You can find ’em everywhere, from Etsy to… well, probably even Wish if you’re feeling brave (or stupid, tbh). Some are legit, handmade pieces that probably cost more than my rent, and others are… well, let’s just say they look like they were made in a sweatshop by a blindfolded squirrel. You gotta be careful, ya know?
I saw one on Reddit the other day, some “Pro Gamer choice” for cosplay. I mean, okay, maybe. But “Pro Gamer choice?” Sounds kinda cringe, doesn’t it? I think it’s more of a “I wanna look cool and slightly rebellious while I order my latte” choice. No offense to anyone who owns one, but… yeah.
Personally, I’m still on the hunt for *the* perfect one. The one that doesn’t look like it’s made of cheap pleather that’ll crack after one rainstorm. I want the *real* deal, or at least the closest thing to it. I mean, it’s not just about looking like Johnny Silverhand, it’s about embodying that whole vibe, ya dig? Like, sticking it to the man, questioning the system, and lookin’ good while doing it.
