            Black wool tailcoat with silk lapels and six covered black buttons with a check design, arranged in pairs of three on each side. The working cuffs each have three smaller covered buttons, while the back includes two buttons above a long vent, which incorporates a pocket within the left tail. The tailcoat is fully lined, with the front upper half and lapels lined in silk twill and the remaining body in a lighter black silk. The sleeves are lined in beige silk.

            The interior includes two jetted pockets, and the shoulder blade area is reinforced with cross-hatch stitching to provide a structured silhouette. The back is crafted from six shaped panels, creating a narrow, fitted cut.

            Three-button tailored jacket featuring a Union Jack print in red, white, and blue cotton. It fastens with three black plastic buttons and has small lapels. The front includes two jetted pockets without flaps and a breast welt pocket on the left side. The front panels are aligned to create a central Union Jack pattern, while the back is constructed from two panels where the print does not match up, indicating budget-conscious manufacturing (original retail price: £29.99).

            The jacket has uneven black topstitching, further suggesting a lower manufacturing quality. The two-piece sleeves lack vents but include a single black button on each cuff. It is lined in black viscose and features one internal pocket on the right side.

            Dark olive double-breasted coat is equipped with six attached solar panels, encased in long rectangular holders with dark brown synthetic leather edging and clear fronts. The removable photovoltaic panels connect to cables threaded through black plastic stoppers on the coat's interior, designed to plug into lithium rechargeable batteries (now missing), which fit into small interior pockets. Loops sewn into the lining keep the cables organised. Included with the coat are a USB torch and USB cable.

            The coat features a wide turn-down whipcord cotton collar, with the main body crafted from a cotton and polyester mix with a polyurethane coating. The lapels turn down with buttonholes at the top, and the coat fastens with four pairs of dark mottled brown plastic buttons, with four functional buttons. There are two inset waist pockets with wide flaps in a darker olive green fabric. The cuffs are finished with wide cotton webbing bands, fastened by two small dark-mottled brown buttons. The back has a long centre vent, and a shoulder yoke lined in checked fabric, and the lower half of the lining is silver-coated, attaching to the outer layer with press studs to conceal cables and batteries.

            Part of Westminster Menswear Archive

            Sand-coloured hooded jacket with integrated wearable technology features, part of Levi's ICD+ Storage jacket collection, launched in summer 2001 as the second season of the ICD+ range. The jacket includes contrasting black trims, a black mesh lining with taped seams, and adjustable Velcro tabs at the collar and cuffs. It fastens at the centre front with a concealed zip under a Velcro-secured placket.

            Designed with large, curved pockets, the jacket accommodates the Philips Xenium mobile phone, Rush MP3 player, and earphones, along with purpose-built channels for wiring. A central control module links all devices, allowing the wearer to control each device via a unified remote. A hidden fabric loop and channel neatly route the earphone wiring to the hood, where the earphones are stowed until needed, maintaining a tidy appearance while ensuring easy device access.

            Additionally, the jacket can be folded into the two main pockets, with zips around the pockets allowing it to transform into a shoulder bag with clasp fastenings, as per instructions in the manual. The ICD+ range was pioneering, marking the first commercial collection designed to fully integrate consumer electronics within the garment.
