So, hi-vis isn't flavour of the month in some parts hereabouts but I think it's good. My favourite day-glo greeny-yellow thing came from Lidl and like all good cycling jerseys is long in the body, but unlike every other cycling jersey I've ever owned, it lacked the traditional pockets on the back. Enter second Lidl product, a hi-vis gilet/waistcoat (is there any difference?), and a mother/daughter combo with a sewing machine, et voila! day-glow jersey with pockets made from said gilet, complete with reflective stripes.

Ask obliging daughter and her grandma to fire up the sewing machine. Grandma uses a triangular leather needle to cope with the mix of stretchy and non-stretchy fabrics. Also uses short stitch zig-zag to give some 'give' to the pocket seams. Result: hi-vis jersey with extra safe pockets. It's a win.
