Now, Levi's jackets can answer calls, take selfies for you

Levi's and Google first introduced a tech-infused jacket in the form of 'Commuter Trucker' two years ago.

The product made a good impression and is now available in two upgraded avatars: Classic trucker and Sherpa trucker.

These 'smart' jackets not only boast advanced connected capabilities but also incorporate a much smaller tag, making it nearly impossible to tell that the garment is actually smart.

Just like the original Trucker, the new jackets utilize Google's Jacquard technology, a Bluetooth-enabled module that goes into the left cuff of the jacket's sleeve and turns it into a touch-sensitive remote control for phones.

You can program up to four swipe/tap-based gestures (swipe-up, swipe-down, double-tap, cover) into the Jacquard app and use them on the cuff to trigger different apps/actions on your phone.

As for the actions, the jackets can be programmed to do a lot of stuff.

You can, for instance, use a gesture to snap a selfie with friends, play/pause music on the phone, or answer an incoming call.

It can be configured to silence your phone, drop a pin on the map, trigger Google Assistant, or give a whole day overview from the calendar.

The new Classic smart Trucker jacket has been priced at $198, while the Sherpa variant, which comes with additional insulation for colder days, has been priced at $248.

They are pretty expensive but way cheaper than the original connected jacket that Levi's sold for about $350.

To note, the company also says you can wash it like any other denim.
