Hi folks, anyone know where I can buy some high visibility ribbon, the type
sewn on jackets and things. I have searched and found no where that
supplies just the ribbon, only the jackets, vests and things.

Thanks in advance for your help on this one.

It used to be all made by Scotch. You could try that as a start...

Add 3M retroreflective and tape to the google mix and several likely
looking links pop up.

The ordinary 'Scotchlite' pearlised strip loses some of its reflectivity
when wet; the encapsulated Reflexite stuff is better and is what the police
and traffic wardens use.

I have also seen various types of reflective strip sold by the metre on Ebay
occasionally. Try General Industrial - Protective Gear. Cycle and motorcycle
shops should have something.

Vinyl sign cutting places should be able to obtain reflective vinyl for
signmaking and vehicle livery.

Thanks Dave. I did a copy / paste and got two supplier hits from it. Easy
when you know what to look for. Thanks again. :-)

I bought some from ARCO, Waverley Street, HULL a few yeaqrs ago tp sew onto
the rear end and sides of a horses waterproof rug so as to give us visibilty
to drivers as I led it to and from its daytime grazing. Can't recall price
but not much and it worked a treat.

A google.co.uk for "high visibility tape" gives me this:

and a bunch of other possibilities.

If you can't find it easily, cut up some reflective straps - Halfords
used to do these, for cyclists.
