The day Apple CEO Steve Jobs died, sales of the $175 mock turtleneck he wore more than doubled, the Minnesota retailer that makes them, St. Croix, tells TMZ. (The company said it would donate a portion of the sales to the American Cancer Society.)
And just how many turtlenecks did Steve Jobs own?
According to Walter Isaacson's biography on Jobs - Gawker has an excerpt - the Apple honcho had "about a hundred" of the Issey Miyake-designed shirts stacked in his closet.
In the bio, Isaacson writes that Jobs told him he liked the idea of having a uniform because of its daily convenience (the rationale he claimed) and its ability to convey a signature style. He actually once suggested Apple employees wear vests as uniforms. He was booed offstage when he presented the idea. But he loved it for himself.
