According to Popular Science, what makes the Smart jacket quite confusing is that it would be impractical to always link someone's jacket to the Bluetooth. However the advocates of Google and Levi's technology still pretty think it's a cool new piece of tapestry.

It was further explained that the smart jacket's market are the urban bicyclist who do really need to interfere with their phone while biking. This in line to Levi's promotional video which features a cyclist on his normal day while wearing the smart jacket.

The smart jacket works by sensing the users' touch through the jacket's conductive threads that are attached to the left sleeve of the Levi's denim jacket. And then a removable tag hosts the electronics that serves as a medium to the phone.

The smart Jacket is officially labelled as "Levi's Commuter Trucker Jacket with Jacquard by Google." The user of the jacket may also wear an earbud that is still connected to the jacket if he chooses to access his phones e.g. playing music.

As for those conductive threads woven into the jacket, that kind of general technology is similar to the way the screen on your smartphone works, he explains: it relies on a process called capacitive coupling that allows the system to know where your finger is positioned on the surface. In this case, the surface just happens to be the sleeve of a classic jacket.
