There's A Run On The Black Steve Jobs Turtleneck - miK. - 10-08-2011
Minnesota company St. Croix, which makes the mock black turtlenecks that Steve Jobs famously wore,
is having a banner sales week. Sales more than doubled yesterday, the day after Jobs' death, according to
the Minnesota Business Journal, and some stores have run out of them.

$175 seems a bit steep for something you can get a good version of elsewhere for about $40.
Must be the microfiber... http://www.stcroixshop.com/stcroix/
Great also that they are donating $20 from every sale of that model to the ACS.

I thought I read that he payed $60 for the shirts.
Seems like the company is taking quite an advantage.
Nice of you to correct their headline, miK.

• Hand crafted in America
Ah, there's the reason.

Each micro fiber is hand-engineered for maximum uniformity and perfection. Using specially trained nano-people, with exceptionally good health and dental benefits.

Only in America, high tech hand held calculator with higher math functions (reverse engineered from aliens) $40. Hand crafted mock turtle neck (not even a whole turtle neck!) made from farm raised, milk fed polyesters $175.

It was late and I was in abbreviate mode. I know the other ACS well as I work for Xerox.
A simple click of the St. Croix link I listed shows the donation info... http://www.stcroixshop.com/stcroix/

american cancer society.
but all the clothes are 3x the price of other stores. esp since the styles aren't anything you can't find, but it is about having a choice to buy american.. i guess.

Don't like the price? Don't buy it.
That's the beauty of capitalism.
There's always somebody who will

It wasn't until after I clicked the link that I discovered what the mysterious abbreviation was. The first ones that came up when I searched were all those others!
Then I discovered that the American Cancer Institute's website's URL wasn't what I thought it would be!
