When you think of fashion the last thing you might think about is a high-vis jacket.
One man in Western Australia has created a tailored high-vis suit that includes a shirt and jacket.
Director for training and consulting group Techno Economic Consultants, Rob Glenn who created the suit often wears it while addressing mining companies about their projects.
He posted the images on his LinkedIn and said:
"Someone messaged me recently with a pic of a hi-vis suit... and a note to say I should have patented mine!
"I had three fully tailored and lined hi-vis suit jackets made years ago, one each in yellow, orange or blue depending which site I go to.
"I'm not really sure whether it adds to my professionalism or completely destroys it! It does however get some weird looks around airports."
Although they may look strange Rob has become an online sensation and people are wondering where they can get their hands on a suit.
According to Ladbible, the suit was made in Bali and unfortunately he has no plans to commercialise his high-vis jacket.
Speaking to mining publisher resourc.ly, Rob said:
"Most of my audiences tend to be engineers, geologists and metallurgists, so I'm teaching non-financial people how to do justifications and lodge applications for whenever they need capital for mining expansions and things like that.
"Where the suit came from is that I talk about every person in the room being a professional investor of other people's money. And in mining, those project people are spending millions and sometimes billions of dollars.
"The question that always comes up is 'can we be as professional in red dirt and dust and flies while wearing PPE as we can while in St George's Terrace in a suit?' And the answer is 'of course you can.'"
