wanted: yellow police overcoat

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.

I have a Belgian Baleno jacket that I bought in the UK. They're practically standard uniform for despatch riders (m/c messengers) there. The only online link I could find was: http://www.sioen.be/eng/products/apparel/aindex.htm Which doesn't have my exact jacket, but I did buy it 6+ years ago. Follow the link and click on "high visibility clothing". That what you're looking for? Tony.

There are a bunch of police supply places that sell all kinds of "duty" wear, including high-visibility jackets. Here is a link to Galls. They have a huge printed catalog and it looks like they have lots of stuff online.... http://www.gallsinc.com/shop/viewproduct.jsp?catcode=481&x=14&y=8 --Mark "Yeoh Yiu" <squid@panix.com> wrote in message news:oxgk85pggsm.fsf@panix1.panix.com... > 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. > > YY > squid@panix.com >

Walmart has yellow rain suits and coats.
There is a website which sells rolls of reflective tape for bikes ($20 a roll
last I looked) in many colors. The tape can go on the jacket and/or bike (color
co-ordinate the bike, they even have black reflective tape).
Checl page #3 on my site for a link.
