Steve Jobs’ famous 1984 suit worn in the unforgettable Macintosh commercial can now be yours – provided you’re willing to spend ,000 on it.

Apple introduced its famous Macintosh in 1984. Founder Steve Jobs was at the helm of the launch, showcasing a revolutionary consumer computing device that no one else in the industry had made at the time. During the announcement, some may have remembered Jobs’ suit, and why wouldn’t they? Jobs was known for dressing casually, so when he wore a suit, you knew the Macintosh launch was a special occasion. For those interested, that same suit is now up for auction, but diehard fans will likely consider buying it, as it could fetch $30,000.

Suit is currently bid at $10,000, but since the reserve bid has not yet been reached, Steve Jobs’ outfit could reach $30,000

The suit is currently listed on Julien’s Auctions with a maximum bid of $10,000, but the estimated final sale price is said to be between $20,000 and $30,000. Find out what you’ll get for that nice chunk of change in the description below.

“A navy blue pinstripe suit by Brioni for Wilkes Bashford, worn by Steve Jobs in a marketing photo by Bernard Gotfryd in January 1984 announcing the release of the new Macintosh computer.

The Macintosh was first announced on January 22 during the Super Bowl in a now-iconic Ridley Scott commercial that depicted a grim dystopian world filled with mindless skinheads, which was then brought down by the symbolic power of freedom and rebellion. The tagline at the end of the commercial referenced George Orwell’s classic novel: “On January 24, Apple Computer will introduce the Macintosh. And you’ll see why 1984 won’t be like 1984.”

The suit is made from 100% cupro and features thin vertical stripes throughout, two front pockets, one breast pocket, three inside pockets, grey buttons, a cream silk blend lining and is marked 39/49. It comes with matching suit trousers, size 39L.”
