http://www.thetransferpress.co.uk have the vests but I believe they are yellow. They can be printed by sublimation or done with the textile vinyls.
Cheers

It depends what you mean by hi-viz. There are very strict European Norms (EN) definitions of high visibility garments which usually combines the fluorescence of the background fabric and the reflectance of the stripes. I often get asked if I can make, for example, navy blue hi-viz garments. In short I can’t, but I can make navy blue garments decorated with reflective stripes :bigwink:

If an organisation assesses a need for hi-viz garments then there will be a CE marked product to suit and it almost certainly will not be white.

This is a difficult legal minefield. If what you’re selling your customer does not have genuine CE markings DO NOT call it hi-viz.

My first port of call for anything out of the ordinary is Leo Textiles who are specialists in hi-viz and can make to order http://www.leotextiles.co.uk
