You mean this one?

If you see me, please introduce yourself, I've been wondering if I've seen you around.

Do you add anything reflective to a rain jacket? I got the one made in Portland (sorry forget the name) but I would like a little more reflection on the back and maybe the sleeves. Without stitching holes through what ever makes it waterproof.
Over on BikePortland's forums...

If you want to post there, I strongly recommend you read the Newbie forum carefully.
My current coat doesn't have additional reflective elements added. I added reflective material to my old Columbia coat, by carefully taking a reflective vest apart. I used Fabri-Tak cement (available at fabric shops) to glue the reflective material to the cuffs, and the areas (inside and out) near the front zipper. Later, I used the reflective strip I removed from a used up commuter tire to add "piping" to the sleeves. To do the cuffs, I stretched the cuff over a piece of PVC pipe to take out the wrinkles, glued the material, then let it dry before removing the pipe.
