Levi’s Commuter Trucker Jacket Jacquard by Google
Connected. Not distracted. That Levis’ mission in designing the next iteration of their Trucker Jacket Jacquard by Google — an advanced technology enabling you to seamlessly and wirelessly connect your clothes to your smartphone. Originally designed for cyclists as part of our Levi’s Commuter series, this next-gen version features more applications to enhance your everyday experience.
The Levi’s Commuter Trucker Jacket Jacquard by Google has touch and gesture interactivity woven into the sleeve. When paired with your phone, a simple brush or tap on the sleeve lets you stay connected to your music, navigation and friends without stopping to reach for your pocket.
- HOW IT WORKS – We start with our iconic Trucker Jacket. Then we build a Jacquard sensor into the left sleeve. With your jacket paired to your phone, you can perform simple actions on the interactive cuff, and receive alerts through the Tag so you’re in control and connected without looking at your screen.
- WHAT IT CAN DO – The jacket lets you play music, snap a picture and so much more. Using the Jacquard mobile app, you can assign abilities to four different gestures. You can also assign LED-colored lights to specific notifications — for instance, assigning blue to your boss so you never miss their call. The idea is to easily interact with your digital world without disrupting what’s going on in real life. Here are some of the things you can currently do with Jacquard.”
Chris Bills –
I first picked up the non-commuter version of the trucker series jackets and loved the tech but wasn’t crazy for the style of the non-commuter version. This commuter version hits it on all marks, 5 stars for styling and 5 stars for the technology implementation.
