Reflective Thread

[westernblingbling]

My Harley riding minister has been asked to join a local club as their Chaplin. He needs to have some patches sewn on his jacket and was wondering if there is such a thing as reflective thread. He really does not want to put the reflective strips on his jacket and thought maybe reflective thread would be sufficient. Does anybody have any suggestions or ideas?

Thanks. Wanda

There is reflective thread but it is not a substitute for large patches of retroreflective tape at night or in the rain. Ask your friend which is more important... looking cool or being alive? To me it's a no brainer. I have my Harley loaded with reflectivity for dusk, dawn, night, and rain. I use SOLAS reflective tape as well as Reflexite. These are the brightest tapes available. I have no shame about putting them on my black leather bags or other gear. They have helped keep me alive.

If he is really into looks then at least get him some BLACK REFLECTIVE tape. It will light up silver when light shines on it. It isn't as bright as other tapes but something is better than nothing. It is certainly better than some reflective thread which is practically useless at distance. Here are links to various reflective products.
