wee while ago I was asking around for a windproof with pockets on the front that was visible from
orbit: various suggestions but nothing quite right...
I now have what I was looking for. Mardale (http://www.mardale.com/), a small British outdoor
clothing firm, do a jacket that looked the part aside from not being *YELLOW!*, but remembering
they'd done a bespoke fleece pullover for a 6'8" friend a few years ago at nominal extra cost I
thought I might as well ask if they'd do a custom colour on their Bike Jacket model. Yes, and for
just an extra fiver. And since their usual colours did include a reflective finish and the fluo
yellow didn't, did I want reflective tape? And where, exactly? (across the yoke seam back and front
and down the arms, please!)
It arrived this morning, and it is indeed visually loud and basically just what I was looking for.
The Visa receipt in with it tells me they didn't actually charge me the extra fiver either. Not
absolutely perfect for me: I prefer chest height pockets to belly height, and I should've said not
to bother with the back pocket (and there's a wee belt in it so if you turn it inside out into the
pocket you can wear it on its own belt, which might fall prey to some scissors), but really no
complaints and it was a pleasure doing business with them. Good product from good people, well
worthy of your consideration.
Pete.
