Those jackets might have be given to programmers, but Apple sold those jackets to anyone in the company store, around 1997-1999 for approx. $300 IIRC. Kick myself for not buying one.
There should be way more of them to find then atleast, or a bunch are still holding onto theirs, where we get to see them like in the tweet above - haha. Most probably still thought the price was ridiculous for $300. Surely you'd say they had a limited run on them, and/or with a bunch unsold.. if only.. one day we'll find out (hopefully) :D

Did this ever sell?? Just curious as I’ve been looking for one of these for a while!

It looks like from this forum there were 3 known Jackets, lets update that to 4.

The one i have was gifted to me sometime in the mid to late 90's by a family friend who ran the "AppleWorks User Group" (I believe it was formerly the Claris Works User Group). Not certain exactly where and how he obtained the jacket, but i assume it was given to him by Apple at some Apple event or something like that. Shortly thereafter he then gave it to me. I knew it was a special jacket and thusly has only come out on special occasions, and when it does its a head turner for those lucky enough to recognize the vintage icons.

Still a nice looking jacket every time I see one posted. The 4 that have been seen are all in very good condition. I wonder how many are still out there that are looking worse for wear but still being worn by their owners.

Awesome, thanks for sharing! Nice to see them all well taken care of, acknowledging their rarity somewhat
