I have a black leather jacket and black leather pants. I'm considering having someone sew on a reflective material in a simple pattern on the back and on the lateral portion of the upper arm. I'm trying to increase the night visibility and possibly improve the day time visibility by adding some contrast.

Any opinions on what material I should use ? How do such reflective materials hold up over time ?

I have considered an overvest of the reflective/safety type, but I'd prefer to just have something sewn onto the jacket if possible.

i used reflective tape used on lifejackets...i bough a pk with 12 reflective strips for about 12bucks.

Did you just stick the tape on ? does it hold well over time ? I have seen such tape in several locations, but didn't know about its use on leathers.

Lately (wiht a yound set of twins) I only get to ride in late in the evenings. I don't go to fast, but I worry about riding with the black on black pattern.
