I'm in California, but I'd like an overcoat/jacket like the British
police, especially (obTransport) traffic patrol wear.

(see 

        http://omor/com/ride/clothing/ 

for sample pictures).

The high visibility clothing I've seen offered here in the US
market is typically a vest or a poncho (very baggy anorak).

I haven't seen anything in cut like a parka or jacket, other than
the jacket from an Aerostitch two-piece suit motorcycle rider's suit.
The Aerostitch is expensive, and has padding, etc that I don't want
in my over-jacket.

What I want is a large jacket theat I could put over a snug fitting
leather jacket; this large overjacket should be bright
yellow-limegreen, have reflective stripes, and utility pockets.
Also, I'd like to avoid the unbreathable fisherman's rubber rain slick.
A water-resistant cloth construction would be best, I think.

Any suggestions for a catalog, imported, or vendor would be appreciated.
