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.
