Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is well-known for giving his keynotes sporting a black leather-based motorbike jacket. He hasn’t addressed why he selected his (now iconic) black leather-based jacket particularly (contemplating different tech CEOs are recognized for hoodies and black turtlenecks, it is a fairly good selection), however he talked about in an interview with HP final yr that his spouse and daughter are liable for his present model.
So we weren’t terribly stunned to see Jensen in yet one more black leather-based motorbike jacket for the 2024 GTC keynote. But this time, it was a unique leather-based jacket—nonetheless black however trying prefer it was manufactured from lizard pores and skin. Naturally, Tom’s Hardware editors rapidly went to the staffroom to debate this fascinating disruption in Jensen’s wardrobe.
(Just kidding, it took me all of two seconds to search out Jensen’s jacket — I’m nothing if not a leather-based jacket connaisseuse.)
If you are interested in the place the CEO of a multi-trillion greenback tech firm retailers, we’re fairly positive he is sporting Tom Ford’s Tejus lizard-embossed leather-based jacket from the Tom Ford SS2023 menswear assortment, primarily based on the collar, zippers, and cuffs (see detailed footage beneath). It’s not lizard or crocodile pores and skin as some individuals might need suspected — most unique skins are banned in California — however is, the truth is, simply embossed calf leather-based. Still, it does not come low-cost: it retails for a cool $8,990 (or simply over ten shares of Nvidia inventory).
