I've read a number of times references to the sweaters coming from St. Croix, for example:

An interesting mystery! A lifetime's supply of Issey Miyake would surely obviate the need to by them from this random shop, right? Am I missing something?
For what it's worth, I hope they come from Miyake, who's a genius in his own right.
Bonus: another person who is staggeringly good at her job, wearing a black turtleneck:

- philwelch 15y agoPerhaps Issey Miyake designed the turtleneck and had St. Croix actually make them.
- ForrestN 15y agoThat's next to impossible for a ton of reasons.
- Tyrannosaurs 15y agoUnless I've missed it, nowhere on their shop page does it say that Jobs wore their turtlenecks, merely that he was a "fan" of theirs, and the Wikipedia fact is uncited (now marked as such).

"Jobs preferred $175 St. Croix cotton and microfiber mock black turtlenecks. According to Bernhard Brenner, the founder of Knitcraft, St. Croix’s parent company, Jobs bought about two dozen black turtlenecks each year."
