Default Good looking reflective BIG patch for back of jacket?

I just realized that just about everything I wear is black... black helmet, black jacket, and black boots... and I wear black jeans half the time... and my bike is black... I like black I guess!!

Anyhow, I have ordered reflective stickers for the back of my helmet, and moved on to buy one of those flourescent reflective construction vests to wear as well... but, then I got to thinking... maybe they make a reflective patch or motorcycle vest with a reflective design on the back.... something a bit better looking than the school crossing guard look... I would wear this vest over the armored mesh jacket I already have, not in place of...

Either that, or a reflective patch that will work on the back of a mesh jacket? I could just get reflective tape and make something but was hoping I could get something less obvious and better looking.

If there is nothing out there, than I will get the construction vest, but I am hoping there is something interesting that works as good or almost as good...

Any suggestions other than sell all my black stuff and get colorful stuff?

Edited to say: I found These guys, and the stuff is okay, but looking for more options, maybe a big reflective American Eagle or Flag or something...

Bumping this to the top for any ideas...

I found this company, and it looks promising. I have contacted them to see if they will ship to the US, and if so, can they do custom work...

Thanks a bunch FatCat, I ordered some, although I have leather bags, but it would be good for the helmet!

I did find out that Tin Wolf designs will do custom work, and they do ship to the US. Email exchange was very pleasant with the guy that runs it. They are pricey, but this way I can get exactly what I want, and what I am getting is pretty wacky... I will be sure to post pictures when I get it!

Default Check Out www.nightfirepatches.com

I'm glad to see more riders looking for reflective stuff on their clothes, helmets and bikes. Like you, I was looking for it and all I could find was roadworker vests and so forth. So we designed and manufactured our own solution.

We now have an Eagle and other stylish patches that can be stuck on, ironed on and sewn on to leather, mesh, or denim. It is designed to look good in the day and is VERY bright in the headlights. We have lots of users on military bases where retroreflective is required and we exceed the standards for them.

We also do Helmet decals at reasonable prices in eight colors and eleven designs to fit your style whether you want to make a statement or go stealth with black on black.

We're very proud of what we are doing. I hope you like what you see at www.nightfirepatches.com

Thanks

On the same subject here... I am getting a black leather jacket for my bike. It is a "alien" jacket.: *NEW* Kawasaki Alien Leather Jacket by: EliteWears - EliteWears I am a new rider and i was wondering where i could find a reflective patch for it. Like a big "ninja" or "K" or "kawasaki" or "zx6" or something of that sort for the back of it. Like a reflective white or green. I can find all that tape stuff and those decals for the bikes and helmets but not for leather. Somebody has to make that stuff for leather. I want it to look good on there. my last resort of course is to just stick some reflective tape on the jacket, but i dont want to ruin it. I cant be the first person to think of this. Thanks for any help or websites that might do this.

I seen : Reflective Patches, retroreflective, embroidered and vinyl and they do got the right idea, but i wanted a kawi patch... do they do custom patches i wonder... man, i did not see any other company besides them... is there any others out there. there has to be.
