I was looking at that catalog and thinking Jobs walked into clothing shops the same way he walked into tech labs:
Cut through the noise and find the one thing that works.

Cut through the noise and find the one thing that works.
not at the moment but if they team up with Apple maybe there could be..?
All you need to do is...
Emboss the Apple logo on the inside of the turtleneck where the heart is,
and in white stitching that is only visible from the inside write...
"RIP Steve Jobs 1/56"
and make only 56 of those.
BOOM
Through secret channels, I managed to obtain some details about their upcoming products. Apparently the company is already working on a completely redesigned, modular turtleneck. It won´t be out for another two years.
The Turtleneck Pro(TM) will be machine washable, as opposed to the base model that has to be returned to the manufacturer for dry cleaning after each use.
The Turtleneck Sport(TM) will only consist of the sleeves and the neck. There are hints that this model will mainly be marketed to the "courageous" early adopters.
Finally, there will be the Turtleneck Edition($). This unique product will be hand crafted in a vacuum with laser-cut, 24 carat gold wires interwoven into the Rose Gold fabric. Finally the garment will be friction stir welded into it's new owner.

Exactly, I hired an enterprise architect who interviewed in jeans and a concert t-shirt. Great guy, brilliant, I couldn't care less how he dresses. He's not C-level in my organization but I think most people would consider him very well compensated.
I agree. You don't have to suit up to dress decently. But the poster you responded to didn't say anything about Nike trainers and baggy jeans, so the reaction was a touch OTT. They just said they pick similar outfits.
Granted, that could range anything from simple coloured tops to bright yellow "I love big ol' booty" shirts. But I think they just meant simple smart stuff. Similar outfits doesn't mean you look like a cheap nerd; well, I don't think so anyway
You're correct, I don't own a single "I love big ol' booty" top
Original Uniqlo clothes were made in Japan too (not anymore)... and even turtle neck was just 20 bucks.
There was a time where walked in public with no shoes, and dressed like a hippie. So yes, he always had unique style.
Oh please, you know the problem holding up the Edition turtleneck is all Intel's fault.

No. 4 would work if you have the courage to pull off the look.
No. 31 is subtitled, "Accidentally leaves house in bad pajamas".
I'd pay an entire dollar to have Steve come return from the grave and do a keynote wearing his jeans and Seinfeld's Puffy Shirt.
Hard soldered I'm afraid. With decalobed screws too. Yes, yet another tool to get into an Apple related product. I'd expect lots of glue as well...

He had lawn furniture in his first house, post Apple. When I think about that, he was a genius! Bed on the floor, genius!
On a related note, I was in San Fransisco over the time when he died. I decided to make a pilgrimage to the mothership since I was so close, and remember seeing my first Apple road sign, the one with the golden apple. The shrine on the lawn was already rather large. The weird, and bizarre part of that trip was that all I had packed for warmth, short of a large coat, was my Under Armour black thermal (heat gear) turtlenecks, and jeans. So I show up there, dressed like that, and a couple of people were giving me crap about truing to 'rip off' Steve's look. WTF!
But it was a very somber time, and I walked all over the place. It was quite a trip. I had read so much about the area, I thought I had been there before.
But iconic... He was that...
LOLOL $270 for a turtleneck???? HAHAHAHAHA.
But...Apple customers are the right demographic for this. They're used to overpaying for things.
Then again, pretty soon kids are going to be like: "Steve who?, I thought Apple was done by that silver-haired gay guy at the Pride Parades!"
I see Steve Jobs' spirit disappear from Apple with every (disappointing) keynote...maybe he's giving Satya Nadella and Sundar Pichai innovation tips from the grave, 'cause Tim ain't listening.
