In the sprawling, neon-drenched world of Cyberpunk 2077, V's desperate race to find a cure for the Relic ticking away inside their skull is no reason to dress like a common street thug. A true legend of the Afterlife knows that style is half the battle. While Night City's vendors will happily sell you all manner of jackets, pants, and goggles, the most coveted garments – the Iconic pieces – can never be found on a shop shelf. These rare threads are earned: tied to main jobs, hidden during side gigs, or unlocked as free surprises waiting in V's own apartment.

For those who want to walk in Johnny Silverhand's combat boots or simply turn heads with a jacket that screams "legendary merc", tracking down every single one of these items is a must. The hunt isn't always straightforward, and some drops are so well concealed that even experienced edgerunners sail right past them. But don't worry – here's exactly where to find every Iconic clothing item in Cyberpunk 2077, including the Phantom Liberty-era base game additions, so you can assemble the full wardrobe.

🧥 All Iconic Clothing & Where to Unlock Them

Before diving into the step-by-step walkthroughs, here is the complete list at a glance. Use this as a checklist when planning your next playthrough.

  • 🕶️ Johnny's Aviators – awarded automatically after the A Cool Metal Fire side job.

  • 👕 Johnny's Tank Top – appears in V's inventory after completing both the Tapeworm and Search and Destroy main quests.

  • 👖 Johnny's Pants – hidden inside a pink suitcase in Slayton's bedroom during the Gig: Psychofan.

  • 👟 Johnny's Shoes – stashed in a locker with the bootleg recording during Gig: Family Heirloom.

  • 🧥 Replica of Johnny's Samurai Jacket – handed to V by Rogue at the start of the Chippin' In quest.

  • 🚀 Luminescent Punk Jacket – free DLC item found in V's apartment stash after Viktor calls, sometime after The Ride.

  • 🌟 Multilayered Syn-leather Deltajock Jacket – another free DLC piece, appears in the same stash after Viktor's call.

Now, let's break down each piece so you don't miss a single thread.

Finding Johnny's Signature Look

Every merc dreaming of a Johnny Silverhand cosplay run starts with the rockerboy's own gear. Five of the seven Iconic items belong to this set, and they are scattered across several quests. The good news is that none of them are missable if you follow the main and side content thoroughly.

Johnny's Aviators are the easiest to obtain. During the A Cool Metal Fire side job – which revolves around a particularly heated argument between Johnny and some Valentinos – V will receive the shades automatically at the conclusion. The quest itself is short and heavily scripted, so simply playing through the story will add them to your inventory.

For Johnny's Tank Top, V must finish two main jobs: Tapeworm and Search and Destroy. Tapeworm is a series of conversations that play automatically when V leaves certain missions, so you can't avoid it. Search and Destroy, however, is a high-stakes mission in Pacifica that can play out in multiple ways. Once both are completed, the top appears without any extra exploration needed.

The pants and shoes demand a sharper eye. Johnny's Pants are tucked away in the bedroom of a man named Slayton during the Gig: Psychofan side job. After entering his apartment, you need to locate a pink suitcase – it's often partially obscured by clutter, so scan the room carefully. Open the suitcase, and the trousers are yours.

Johnny's Shoes can be claimed during another gig: Family Heirloom. Inside the mission location, you'll find a bootleg recording and, right next to it, a locker. Open that locker to grab the shoes. The gig takes place in a cramped space, so don't rush – the glow of the container is easy to miss.

The Iconic Samurai Jacket & Free DLC Surprises

Arguably the centerpiece of the collection is the Replica of Johnny's Samurai Jacket. This item is given to V by Rogue, the queen of the Afterlife, at the very beginning of the Chippin' In quest. That quest becomes available in Act 3 after completing the Tapeworm conversations and is an essential part of pursuing the secret ending. The jacket itself isn't hidden – Rogue literally hands it over – but the emotional weight of that moment makes it unforgettable.

After completing the early mission The Ride, players should keep their ears open for a phone call from Viktor. At some point – not immediately, but typically before you've progressed too far into Act 1 – Vik will mention that he left something in V's apartment. Head to the stash (the same stash where you store weapons and junk) and you'll find two magnificent jackets waiting for you: the Luminescent Punk Jacket and the Multilayered Syn-leather Deltajock Jacket. Both were added as free DLC and are available to every owner of Cyberpunk 2077, no Phantom Liberty required. The Luminescent Punk Jacket features glowing neon panels that make V a walking light show, while the Deltajock Jacket has a retro-futuristic synth-leather look that screams class.

Don't be alarmed if the jackets don't appear right after you finish The Ride. Viktor's call is triggered by an internal timer, usually once you've completed a few more gigs or main missions. Simply keep playing, check your apartment stash periodically, and they'll show up.

A Wardrobe Fit for Night City's Legends

With all seven items collected, V can truly embody the spirit of the rockerboy who started it all – or mix and match to create a personal statement. What makes these Iconic garments special isn't just their unique appearance; it's the stories they tell. Every piece is a trophy, a reminder of the choices made and the paths walked. The next time you strut into the Afterlife, wearing Johnny's aviators and that glowing DLC jacket, every fixer in the joint will know you're not just another merc – you're a legend in the making. Now go get those threads, choom.
