The jacket was named Levi's Commuter Trucker and can be connected to a smartphone and still be controlled by touch, even if the device is in a pocket. Through it it is possible to pause or even skip music with some gestures made on the sleeve of the jacket. Below is a demo video. Check out:

The fabric used in the jacket is sensitive to the touch due to a sensor located in the region of the sleeves. To top it off, it has haptic feedback and LED light for notifications. Her design is basic, similar to a jacket worn daily. For its operation, it has an application that allows you to configure all the gestures, through which the user can select which gesture will serve to do a certain thing, such as a call, for example.

Well, those who were already worried about washing the product, know that it is quite simple. Just remove the sensors from the sleeves and wash normally.
