I guess you could pleat to the reflective stripe....
I once had a clerical collar of reflective white, you know, for evening services?
Sometimes here in Ontario, some very cute co-eds get a summer job as flag-folk for construction. Some of them are on the road with pink hard hats, safety boots, and bikinis with safety vests over top. Now, that is high visibility!

Hi-Viz
Well, this is refreshing! Especially when initiated by an old curmudgeon like Jock Scot. I hardly know what to say. I think there is at least one tartan that already qualifies as "hi-viz;" that being Loud McLeod of course. I'm surprised the safety officianados in Scotland haven't adopted it for all of their "hi-viz" attire. When in Edinburgh, we saw a lot of hardworking trades people wearing work trousers, etc. all with reflective hi-viz striping. This is something that is just now being seen in the southeastern US.
Cheers,

 There's a SOURCE for that!

Wow. I had no idea the US was so far behind Canada. I've never seen that in my country.
I sure wish we would catch up soon.

There was an outfit in WI that did a fair amount of business with their Fireman's Kilts.

Another one - but still with pockets. From Swedish Blåkläder.

I have 2 Blåkläder kilts, 'workmen's kilts' in black and in dark tan, copiously equipped with pockets and loops and compartmented pockets with slots for narrow tools like screwdrivers and wider ones for pliers – hammers go on a loop. When I used to do more DIY, I wore the black one; I use the tan one for garden work.
Blåkläder (literally, 'Blue Clothes') are a Swedish workmen's wear company, and to my recollection the kilt was invented as a joke at their annual fashion show about fifteen years ago, and they were taken aback to find there was genuine demand. (They also do, or did, a white one for decorators.) These garments certainly do not meet Jock Scot's criteria for a 'genuine' kilt!
The biggest drawback, I find, is that the fabric is very stiff, and swings open in front fairly readily. But maybe that was the point (cf Father Bill's observations about road crews in Ontario).
