Embodiments herein are jacket systems with interchangeable elements that can form a jacket with configurable or swappable components. For instance, a customizable jacket that includes components of the jacket system includes a jacket body, a sleeve-receiver fastener, and a waist-receiver fastener. The jacket body is configured to fasten into a closed configuration and to unfasten into an open configuration. In the closed configuration, the jacket body defines an inner space interior to the jacket body. The sleeve-receiver fastener is integrated with the jacket body at a shoulder of the jacket body and is configured to attach a detachable sleeve, such that the detachable sleeve is toollessly detachable from the body.
