Commuter jacket in a dark indigo denim that features touch-sensitive 'Jacquard Threads' and 'Jacquard' snap tag containing electronics that connect the 'Jacquard Threads' in the jacket’s cuff to the wearer’s mobile device. The snap tag lets the wearer know about incoming information, like a phone call, by giving light and haptic feedback. The tag also houses the battery which can last up to 2 weeks between USB charges. It fastens at the centre front with matt black branded jeans poppers and has two chest pockets with flaps and popper closures and the signature red Levi’s tag attached the left pocket. It has a left arm zip pocket and two slanted front zip pockets. The back features action pleats to allow for movement and a separate yoke that has been bar tacked down centrally for ventilation. It also has a wide curved hem and reflective piping on the back seams for added visibility for cyclists. The construction of the jacket is made up of 'Jacquard' threads by incorporating Google technology and embedded electronics. This uses conductive metal alloys which are combined with a variety of natural and synthetic fibre and then woven. The jacket has been designed to withstand up to ten washes with the 'Jacquard' snap tag removed.
