Wow, I must be a cheapskate (well, I am) but would never pay $130 for a pair of jeans, shirt or shoes in 2011 dollars. I probably wouldn't even pay $130 for all 3 combined.

Do average people really spend $130 on a pair of sneakers?

What, exactly, do you think is average about Steve Jobs?

Good point. My thinking was that these were brands I know are marketed towards 'average' people (Levis and New Balance).

Well, the price of the jeans is overstated for sure. Levis 501s are available for 30 bucks.. The amazon link shows a range of 33-50 or so. I run, so I will spend 120 bucks on my Sauconys and say they are worth every penny.

If you click on the items, you'll see that the jeans and the ipod touch are signficantly cheaper. The sweater (cashmere) is much more expensive, and the shoes are roughly the same price. Not sure what the deal is... maybe out of date.

Nice touch on the footer: "Click here to sue, please." http://cl.ly/0L0p1l0J3j370m0o0N1w

Grrrrrrrrr,

demonstrating one of my major pet peeves; If you're going to tuck in your top, wear a belt.

I assume this one would be suitable stupidly expensive for Mr Jobs http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sugar-Cane-black-leather-CANE1141/dp...

(seriously what wanker pays £150 for a black leather belt? I've got one (I think I paid a fiver for) that after years of wear looks just like the one I linked. If anyone wants it it's your for £70)

Steve has needed to upgrade his jeans for a long time. If he's fond of Levi's, he doesn't even have to switch brands, just transition to darker denim (not pre-washed) and straight leg.

Doubt the cashmere & silk shirt is what he wears. It would go against his vegan beliefs. But overall it's kinda creepy...

That's a funny site. I see the links go straight to Amazon. I was wondering if they were actually selling these items themselves, that would be slightly disturbing.

They're making money off the links, using referrals

is he freeballing it? what about the underwear???

I would think this: http://www.ugo.com/tech/iphone-boxers-20

Missing glasses.

Absolutely brilliant and a great example of the simple side-project opportunities that exist at every turn.

why did this need jquery?

Short answer: it doesn't.

Long answer: In http://www.stevesoutfit.com/js/tutorial.js jQuery is used to implement some sort of AJAX contact form, but I don't see the code in tutorial.js used anywhere.
