Steve Jobs' Issey Miyake sweater
Apropos of nothing I love this story recounted by John Lassiter of Disney about his friend Steve Jobs, in yesterday's Financial Times:
“He found this one really great black turtleneck which he loved – I think it was Issey Miyaki [sic] – so tried to buy another one and they didn’t have any more. He called the company and asked if they would make another one, and they refused. So he said: ‘Fine, how many do you have to make before I can buy them?’ So they made them – I think he has a closet full of them.”
That's why he always wears the same thing...
(Howard Hughes did the same thing with Baskin Robbins when they stopped making his favourite flavour, Banana Nut)

Great bit of trivia. I often wondered why he's always wearing the same shirt.
