OK, Firstly its for use on a preserved steam line. And not just any old vest will do, believe me I have googled and yahoo'd and I dont want a nylon one. They were made from polycotton, either plain or the later ones had two reflective strips on the rear and two making a V on the front, either with or without the BR logo. There is no security aspect to it - the GORT standard vests that all railworkers use now are freely available on e-bay and any potential lunatic can buy them easy enough. I want to recreate a look from the 70s.
