"The Jacket is designed to withstand up to 10 washes with the Jacquard snap tag removed but your experience may vary by usage and wash conditions" "Note: You can wear the Jacket in the rain, but if the Jacket becomes too wet it may not reliably detect gestures. Allow the Jacket to dry and resume using. The snap tag is resistant to rain and splashing, but it is not fully waterproof" Sure it's really "Specifically tailored with the urban cyclist in mind"...that's one wet, smelly, denim jacket after a few rides in the UK.

Is this really any worse than a denim jacket? I have a levi's jacket and I've never washed it. It's gotten rained on once or twice but I just dry it off. I also believe denim is anti microbial? Honestly, I only wash my jeans once they've had something spilled on them.

  Are you serious about not washing your jeans regularly? I have skipped a couple of weeks on lightly worn pants, but default is definitely to keep it in the wash cycle...

    Depends on the jeans, really. I'm pretty sure it's fairly common for people with jeans made from selvedge denim to go months without washing them so they don't fade as much/have a nicer fade pattern.

    I only wash them if they've had something spilled on them or if they really smell from accidentally wearing them on a very hot day or something. http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/fashion/levis-ceo-explains-why-you-should-never-wash-your-jeans-a6881031.html http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/fashion/levis-ceo-ex...

Yours is at least the second comment talking about it this way, but I am not seeing the word cyclist on the site. I am seeing Jacquard currently offers abilities designed for urban commuters. and Levi’s® Commuter™ Trucker jacket. Did I miss the part where they say cyclist?

  You missed the youtube video at the "learn more" page. A third of the video is a guy riding a bike. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9ADVeNpypk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9ADVeNpypk

  "commuter" is Levi's jargon for cyclist (well, cycle-commuter). They call their bike-specific pants the Commuter line.
