Price Advice style writer jacket

[rigormortis]

has anyone ever seen this jacket before?? it was a reversible jacket to celebrate 1 million style writers by apple and canon. i think its one of a kind . but i would like to know if anyone ever saw it before. i put it on eBay and I'm asking for 99 starting bid and a buy now of 10000. i thought i lost it in the mountains but it was in the garage the whole time

canon's official response came today from their public relations department.

" we have no materials about this program"

Shame. Maybe Apple has info on it?

 

[rigormortis]

yeah. i sent apple 2 emails no word back. i sent them a manilla envelope with pictures. canon wrote back. still waiting to hear from apple

Whilst it didn't reveal anything, it was nice of Canon to at least respond.

 

[rigormortis]

well my theory was because of a lack of an apple logo. , it was really a canon jacket that they gave apple. but if canon doesn't know anything about it. its just odd. its the only piece of apple clothing i ever saw that did not have an apple with a bite taken out of it.

yeah i already looked there. notice it doesn't tell you how many printers were sold

i thought about putting a section on that wikipedia page about the mystery jacket

as far as i can tell any information about this jacket was lost. i would have to go on television

I want to say I remember that jacket or the promotion, I worked for the Good Guys back in 1993 and sold computers, I swear I saw it before but not positive..

 

[rigormortis]

do you know or do you have pictures of the two faces on any canon boxes ? one with a red stripe and one with a yellow stripe? I'm thinking those are canon cartoon characters for the inkjets, but its a dead end also

Nothing on the jacket that might date it?

 

[rigormortis]

No. It's gotta be between 93 and 97. It was found at 1 infinite loop in 2012 shortly after Steve jobs passed away. They were no tags or care instructions.

Maybe it's a ...... prototype... ?
