Kevin, as the original (and apparently only) person who wanted to know where to get Hi Viz string vests, good work, thankyou!
In regard to the howls of outrage over H&S legality etc etc, it was, oddly enough, a request in jest. Mostly.
I last saw them about ten years ago, when I was working in a basement under hot lights in deep shafts and headings and it was damn hot and very, very humid. They would have been great there, in the days when you could take your T shirt off, didn't have to wear gloves and you could actually drink water on site. They were being modelled by a pair of miners who clearly enjoyed their Guinness more than their shoring, but even so I could see the potential.
