LEVI’S JACQUARD JACKET |
Google’s innovative Jacquard project is slowly expanding the possibilities of wearable tech: our clothes can be smart too. One of the first experimental outcomes of the project has been the Trucker Jacket, a collaboration with celebrated classic denim maker Levi’s. This jacket allows the user to control their phone with a simple tap on the sleeve, and can even notify users that their ride is here with a simple vibration. A welcome alternative from the clichéd smartwatch approach, the Levi’s Jacquard Trucker Jacket can provide urban nomads with hassle-free information even when they can’t look at their phones.

If we’re constantly on the move, we need clothes that protect us in every environment. Gore-Tex has made a name for itself as one of the most durable and protective material providers, working with renowned outerwear companies like Arc’teryx, Bass Pro Shops and Sitka to provide the best weatherproof properties to their products. Gore-Tex products are the best match for those nomads who find value in above-average protection.
