The famous 1984 Steve Jobs costume worn in the unforgettable Macintosh commercial can now be yours, assuming you’re willing to spend $30,000 on it

Apple introduced its famous Macintosh in 1984, with founder Steve Jobs leading the launch, introducing a revolutionary consumer computing device that no one in the industry had made at the time. During the announcement, some might have remembered Jobs’ trial, and why wouldn’t they? Jobs was known for wearing casual clothes, so if he wore a suit, then you know the Macintosh unveiling was a special occasion. For those interested, the same costume is now up for auction, but die-hard enthusiasts will likely consider purchasing as it could fetch $30,000.

Bidding for Suit is currently at $10,000, but with the reserve not yet met, Steve Jobs’ attire could reach $30,000.

The costume is currently listed on Julien’s Auctions with a current bid of $10,000. However, the estimated final sale would be between $20,000 and $30,000. As for what you’ll get for that decent amount of change, the description below provides all the necessary details.

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

The Macintosh was first announced on January 22 during the Super Bowl in a now-iconic commercial directed by Ridley Scott, which depicted a bleak dystopian world filled with mindless skinheads, which was later destroyed by the symbolic force of freedom and of rebellion. The tagline at the end of the ad was a reference to George Orwell’s classic novel… “On January 24, Apple Computer will introduce the Macintosh. And you’ll see why 1984 won’t look like 1984.”

The 100% cupro suit features fine vertical stripes, with two front pockets, one chest pocket, three interior pockets, gray buttons, cream silk blend lining, size label reads ’39/49′. With matching dress pants, size 39L.

The starting bid on the site is $5,000 and so far there has only been one bid. Judging by the photos, the seams on Steve Jobs’ suit are intact, but anyone who tries to get their hands on it will probably keep it as a souvenir rather than wearing it for a special occasion.
