Steve Jobs' “sassy” jacket up for auction

A bunch of Collector's items linked to Apple's history are up for auction this month, including a jacket worn by Steve Jobs in 1983 in one of his most "controversial" moments.

The jackets worn in Star Wars which sell at auction for millions of dollars, we have already told you about it. And it's still a jacket we're talking about today, except that it belonged to Apple's founder, Steve Jobs.

A garment that could fetch up to $75,000 and which has the particularity of having been worn by Jobs in a memorable photo (above). While he was in New York in 1983 for a meeting with the media Newsweek for the very recent release of the Mac computer, the head of Apple passed in front of the IBM offices, and flashes a pretty middle finger in front of its competitor's logo. A moment immortalized in the famous photo.
