Does anyone know where I can find a picture of these uniforms? Google image search happily returns a picture of Kim Jong Il and steve jobs, but no actual images of the damn uniform.

You'd think "sony company uniform" would be pretty easy for a search engine to search for.

The later uniforms were designed by Issey Miyake, whom Jobs ordered his turtlenecks from.

Here's one picture of early days Sony where all employees appear to be wearing the same jacket:

If you're interested in Japanese industry from the 60s and 70s then there's an excellent film "Dawn of a New Day", a fictionalized account of the invention of VHS video recorders (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0329177/). The cover (http://asianwiki.com/images/2/21/Hiamatanoboru.jpg) shows some workers in standard uniforms.
